  • A Game Day Prayer – UGA vs. Murray State

    A Game Day Prayer – UGA vs. Murray State

    Editor’s note: we’re honored to host the indomitable Jenn Ciccarelli and her prayer for the Bulldog Nation as UGA kicks off its first home game of 2019.

    Dear 8lb, 9oz tiny little grower of the most supreme hedges in the lands,

    Baby Jesus, we are coming to you today LIVE FROM HEAVEN! All of your faithful followers showed up in our Saturday best, the greatest among us in their silver britches, to celebrate what is, aside from your birthday, one of the most sacred days of the year – the first home game! Little Lord we give great thanks for this beautiful day and know you will bless us with a W. If you want to bet, you can do so with the ease of convenience on sites like slot novoline.

    Hairy Dawg UGA #GoDawgs

    I’ll be a little honest, I don’t know much about teams outside of the righteous SEC. I had to do a little digging before my placing my bets at 홈카지노 to find out just who these Murray Staters are, and Lordlet, I have to tell you, I AM APPALLED.

    First of all, the place wasn’t even founded until 1923. You know how we feel about New Money in the South, Lord.

    AND they didn’t have a football field until 1973. Larry had made about half a million calls by then! I’m sure they’re lovely people but they have no business taking on the big Dawgs!

    Then, tiny king, get this—most of their mascots are a Racer, except for their baseball team, who are the Thoroughbreds. Um, what?

    This is even more stupid than that ol’ wretch Auburn and their Eagle Man Tiger. You’d think it stops there, but they just keep on gettin’ worse. Murray State is home to one of the nation’s top rifle programs. Because what the world needs more of, Jesus, are rednecks with guns. I also did some research on their Alumni and discovered more than half the congresspeople to graduate from there ARE REPUBLICANS.

    No offense to Kentucky, small savior, as I had a lovely time there what with all the whiskey and horses, but I have since learned they did not officially secede from the Union during the Civil War, instead declaring neutrality, but Murray, AS IN MURRAY STATE, was known for being strongly pro-Confederate. That flag don’t fly in my South, Jesus. (Well, it actually does but we know you’re doing good work on the hearts of those icky White Supremacists.)

    Bless the boys in Red and Black, Lord. May those runs and passes be long! We hope Coach Dooley gets to watch the game with you today and he’s proud of his field and our team.

    In your hob-nailed boots wearin’ name we pray,

    AMEN AND GO DAWGS!

  • A Game Day Prayer for Georgia @ Vandy

    A Game Day Prayer for Georgia @ Vandy

    Editor’s note: we’re thrilled to kick off the 2019 football season with the return of the formidable Jenn Ciccarelli and her prayers for the Bulldog Nation.

    Dear 8lb, 9oz tiny, forgiving Dawg-lovin’ baby in a manger,

    Baby Jesus, I know we didn’t talk much last year. The thing is, I was trying really hard to take a stand against social injustices like police brutality and gay-hating chicken sandwiches but now I’m pretty sure we need you more than ever, so if you’ll have us, let us pray.

    #UGAvsVandy

    Littlest Lord, we come to you today from the land of heathen bachelorettes and pedal bars.

    Though temptation runs strong outside the Hedges, fear not, as your faithful follower Coach K will keep our boys in line. We do ask for your help, however, that no one quits to pursue a country music career or leaves with a pair of cowboy boots or an illegitimate child. Meanwhile, fans can bet on their favorite athletes on sites such as casino bKash. Those who want to play fun games earn bonuses from secured online casino sites should look for the best online casino australia sites.

    Jesus, can we talk about how silly it is to call yourself a Commodore when you live in a land-locked state?

    I did a little research and discovered this was the nickname given to Cornelius Vanderbilt, rich from the shipping industry. I hear he was hardworking but also married to his first cousin.

    I think we know how you feel about such things, baby leader, though it is a bit confusing as you’ve allowed Alabama to remain a state. Commodore Cornelius also had 13 children with said first cousin. He PROBABLY should have commandeered that ship to a different port…

    So I was reading, Lordlet, that the last time Vandy beat us was in 2016, but we all know that’s the year the world fell apart so we won’t hold it against you.

    We know you were waging an important war on behalf of the populus against Satan’s Army, who call themselves the Electoral College.

    As we are quickly approaching the end of this era, we ask that you continue the Dawg’s record of W’s.

    Before we go, we should also talk about their coach, as more important than his lackluster performance is the fact that his daughter is a Gator. A GATOR, Jesus! No way do they deserve to take down our boys.

    Smallest savior, protect the boys in Red and Black today and this season. Bless our passes and our runs and if there are ever four seconds left on the clock, please remind us to spike the ball. To bet on any sports, sites like 토토사이트 are easily accessible.

    We know we’ll only see one set of footprints in the sand on the way to the National Championship this year.

    In your mean-machine little name we pray,

    GO DAWGS!
