Good morning, Atlanta sports fans. I apologize for the past two days of missing sports headlines. I had three final exams here at UNC and simply didn’t have the time to do them (I know, weak excuse right?). Please forgive me and enjoy today’s links from around the web:
Braves
- The latest news around Braves camp is that the team istrying to re-sign Eric O’Flaherty. I didn’t originally see this as a fit but as more time goes by it seems more and more likely that this could happen. I sure hope he’s not getting more than $4 million dollars to come back though.
- DOB writes about how the Braves areplanning to fixB.J Upton and Dan Uggla during the off season. Best of luck Mr. Walker.
Falcons
- Apparently, Boise State is interesting in hiring Falcons offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter. Jeff Schultzhas the full story($).
- Wisely, Koetterisn’t saying a whole lotabout the interview that he’s had with the University.
Hawks
- Like most games, Chris Vivlamore hashis “three-keys” pieceup. This time he looks at the reasons for the Hawks’ loss to the Thunder.
- Vivlamore’s also got a story about theprogress of John Jenkins and Dennis Schroderin the Developmental League.
Bulldogs
- In Perfect Game’s Top 25 preseason rankings, the Bulldogs aresitting pretty(ish) at No. 19.
- Four football playerswere named to the All-SEC coaches team.
Yellow Jackets
- Yellow Jacked Up has a storyabout Ole Miss opening as the favorites in the Music City Bowl.
- Dalton Keene of the same sitewonders if Vad Lee has the potentialto be a Heisman candidate at some point. I’m not buying that.
