— Jennifer Arca Fishburn

They had a new stadium, so new, in fact, that grass had not yet enjoyed the opportunity to take hold. The new stadium, moreover, was clearly designed by a Georgia Tech engineer, because it took advantage of the topography to nestle into a natural bowl, a bowl that held every drop of water that descended upon us in that flash flood, a blinding rainstorm that hit when we were already so far behind that we had long ago passed the point where we had any chance to turn it around, even though our plodding, single-wing attack was better suited for slogging through the mud than was their modern, split-T offense. I don’t think the officials called the game on account of the rain, even though the water was so deep and the wind so strong that the ball floated away from the line of scrimmage every time the referee placed it at the beginning of each down. Finally, the game ended. I don’t think any Greensboro fans hazarded the long drive to Alpharetta, except my father, who brought the cheerleaders, including my sister. In his attempts to cheer us on, feeling his responsibility as the sole fan, at some point during the deluge he slipped in the mud and fell down, smearing his old black overcoat with red Georgia clay. We players were glad when the thing was over, relieved to peel off our soaked, heavy uniforms and pads, get out of our sloshy football shoes and get on the bus for Greensboro. At least the ride back wasn’t nearly as long as we had expected it to be when we left home.

Among the worst high school football games I played in, I think, was the one my sophomore year at Milton High of Alpharetta. Greensboro (GA) had been put into a new region that year, and we played some schools we had never heard of. Nobody in Greensboro even knew where Alpharetta was, and the typical thing was that nobody was going to ask. It would have been considered a sign of weakness or of being country if we had to pick up the phone and call Milton High School and ask, “Where y’all at?� No such thing as GPS or Google then, of course, nor were there any road maps, since back then men did most of the driving, and they wouldn’t use one of those things, even if they had one. So, there was a lot of speculation among the coaches and the school officials and the townspeople as to just where Alpharetta might be. A consensus developed that Alpharetta was up in the mountains beyond Gainesville, a four- or fivehour drive from Greensboro on the two-lane roads of the day. The lunchroom fixed us sack suppers, and we got out of school after lunch. We loaded onto the bus and headed off. We arrived at Milton before their school let out for the day, since we got to Alpharetta even before we reached Gainesville. Ordinarily, we would have come for a football game an hour or so before, in time to put on our uniforms and go out onto the field and warm up a little. This time we got there with around three hours to kill and nothing to do but eat our sack suppers and roam around the Milton campus, wearing ourselves out. By the time the game started, we felt like we had already played a couple of quarters. That season, in addition to being in a new region, we were playing in a classification that made us one of the smallest schools, competing against teams drawn from much larger student bodies, so that in almost every game we were outmatched, and we generally lost by embarrassingly large margins. The Milton game would not prove different, except for the rain.

The LRC’s recommendation to the full commission is to restrict such events to the times when the noise ordinance doesn’t apply (6 a.m.–11 p.m. on weekdays and 6 a.m.– midnight on weekends), except they can’t start until noon on Sundays. They’d also be limited to commercial and industrial zones, not residential—although Ducrest pointed out that homebrewers aren’t a hard-partying bunch.

Our Own Ferguson: In light of the demonstrations in Ferguson, MO, much has been made of the Bearcat armored vehicle Athens-Clarke County police got from the Georgia Emergency Management Agency last year.

Wright, an obviously unarmed black 20-year-old, was running naked around East Athens early one morning. Two white officers approached him. The officers reported that Wright tackled and punched one, Sean Potter. The other, Pat Mercardante, hit him with a baton. Wright got up, and Potter told him to get back on the ground. Wright yelled, “Kill me! Kill me!� and lunged at Potter again. Potter shot him once in the stomach, and Wright kept coming. Potter then fired at Wright five more times, hitting him twice, before Wright knocked his gun loose. Wright was laughing as he was taken away by ambulance. He died from loss of blood. An autopsy found no drugs in his system. His mother explained his behavior as stemming from a religious experience, not a mental illness.

No sooner had classes started at the University of Georgia than a car hit a student as he was trying to cross Baldwin Street. Two days later, it happened again at the same spot. Thankfully, neither student was seriously injured. (Incredibly, the one who was hit Monday, Aug. 18, Rob Richards, Jr., went back to work and even to martial arts class the very next day, as Flagpole intern David Schick reported online.) Unfortunately, this is what happens when you combine thousands of students on foot, many of whom are too busy looking at their phones to look both ways, with thousands of inexperienced drivers, many of whom are on their phones, too, and are used to suburbs where everyone drives 45 miles per hour and no one walks. (For the record, both of the students who were hit were blocked from view by parked buses, which doesn’t excuse the drivers from not exercising more caution as they approached a crosswalk but is something of a mitigating factor.) So let this be a warning to everyone to be more careful out there. UGA and Athens-Clarke County have discussed over the years closing Baldwin Street to cars, but ACC has resisted, because it’s the main east-west route through campus, and closing it would push more traffic onto already-congested Broad Street downtown. UGA officials did not respond by press time to an inquiry into whether that conversation might be renewed.

FLAGPOLE.COM ∙ AUGUST 27, 2014

Term Limits? Who Needs ‘Em? In January 2005, Republicans took majority control of both the Georgia Senate and House of Representatives for the first time in the state’s modern era. Of the 180 House members who took office in 2005, no more than 66 of them will be there next January. Nearly twothirds of the House seats will have changed hands over the past decade. Of the 56 state senators who were serving in 2005, just 16 of them will still be in office next January. There will have been a change of more than twothirds of the members. What happened to all these incumbents? Some of them, like Jay Neal and Michael Harden, got jobs in the Nathan Deal administration. Some, like Doug Collins and Tom Graves, left to run for Congress. Some, like Dan Lakly and Quincy Murphy, died in office. One of them, Glenn Richardson, resigned after it was revealed he had an affair with a lobbyist. The voters also told a lot of legislators it was time to go home. In this year’s primary elections, Gwinnett County voters got rid of Don Balfour, the longestserving Republican in the state Senate. Steve Thompson, the longestserving Senate Democrat, was defeated in his primary as well. That same fate also happened to Jack Murphy, a 10-year Senate veteran. Over in the House, incumbents Willie Talton, Charles Gregory and Sam Moore lost their seats in the primary. Two years ago, voters ousted incumbent lawmakers like Keith Heard, Doug McKillip, Steve Davis, Charlice Byrd, Doug Stoner, Miriam Paris, Johnny Grant and Kip Smith. If incumbent legislators in Georgia don’t leave office voluntarily, voters have been more than willing to show them the door. The voters have done a commendable job of enforcing term limits. They have shown that we don’t need a law to accomplish that.

For the past 20 years, an idea frequently floated for reforming the political system has been to set term limits for elected officials. Term limits were part of Newt Gingrich’s “Contract with America,” and for a time they became quite a fad in the states—15 of them have some form of limitation on how long a legislator can serve. There has not been a serious move in recent years to impose term limits on the members of Congress, but it is still an idea that pops up from time to time in political races. David Perdue, the Republican nominee in the Senate race, has promised to vote for a term limits amendment if he’s elected to replace Saxby Chambliss. “I don’t think the founders ever envisioned the rise of the career politician,” Perdue said. “They wanted people from various backgrounds to bring their unique experience to representative government, help solve the issues of the day, and then return home.” Wes Cantrell, a Woodstock minister who will start his first term in the General Assembly next year, also pledges he will make term limits for state legislators one of his priorities. “It’s time for Georgia to reclaim her citizen-led Legislature,” Cantrell said in a recent newspaper interview. “This will be a difficult process, but I am determined to do everything in my power and to work with others to see this happen.” Despite the well-meaning intentions of Perdue and Cantrell, Georgia already has something far more effective than any law when it comes to imposing term limits on officeholders: These devices are commonly called elections. It is ultimately the voters who make the decision on election day whether they will keep someone in office or kick them out. That’s the way it should be. Georgia voters, as it turns out, have been doing what you might call a very good job of imposing whatever term limits are needed.

Bulldog Bling

Will Players Ever Share in College Football’s Fortune? uga photo by jim hipple

T

he Georgia Bulldogs’ colors, as everyone knows, are red and black. But they might as well be green. The University of Georgia Athletic Association’s budget is a whopping $100 million, with about 85 percent of that revenue generated by football, according to Frank Crumley, executive associate athletic director for finance and business. With six or seven home games drawing 100,000 people or more to Athens, tack on millions more in visitor spending. “The hotels are full,” Athens Area Chamber of Commerce President Doc Eldridge says. “That means the restaurants are busy. The convenience stores, the package stores are busy. Unfortunately, the bail bondsmen are busy.” So servers, bartenders, business owners, stadium vendors, taxi drivers, coaches, even anyone who owns a parking lot are all making money on game day. Everyone but the players, that is.

More Money College football has grown explosively over the decades. It’s the most popular sport in the South and the third-most popular in the nation, behind pro football and baseball, according to a 2013 Harris poll. As live sports—about the only programming you can’t DVR or watch online—skyrockets in value to advertisers, so have television contracts. For instance, the NCAA will make $470 million from the new four-team playoff, as opposed to $180 million from the Bowl Championship Series. The average athletic department’s budget in the Power Five conferences—SEC, ACC, Big Ten, Big 12 and Pac-12—has doubled in the past decade. The new bowl structure will bring UGA $5.8 million this season, Crumley said, more than double last year’s haul. UGA economist Jeff Humphreys did a study last year that estimated the University of Georgia’s total impact on the Athens economy

at $2.2 billion—a figure that doesn’t include the Athletic Association, a nonprofit entity separate from the university. Humphreys did, however, study football’s economic impact in the late 1990s—when the UGA athletics budget was $30 million, less than a third of what it is today. “At that time, football spectators spent $11.4 million in Athens,” he says. But “those old numbers don’t really mean much,”

Office Lounge Ndjg ;g^ZcYan CZ^\]Wdg]ddY 7Vg

he says. “Those programs have grown a lot since ‘97–98.” The Athens Convention and Visitor’s Bureau has been updating Humphreys’ 1999 study based on inflation and seats added to Sanford Stadium over the years (it now has a capacity of 92,000). “As I see it, football is presently generating around $21–22 million in [annual] direct spending,” CVB Executive Director Chuck

Jones says. “The total economic impact, which would include direct and indirect spending, would be even larger.” And all those people are spending all that money to watch 20-yearolds who might not have a cent to their name. Because they’re forbidden from giving players anything other than tuition and room and board, major sports schools have gone on spending sprees in other areas, paying top coaches exorbitant salaries and building luxurious amenities like the University of Oregon’s $68 million marble-walled, leather-chaired, Nike-funded practice facility that makes ButtsMehre look like the Spilledge house. UGA’s latest effort to keep up with the Joneses (or the ‘Bamas, as the case may be) is an indoor practice field currently under discussion. In 26 states, including Georgia, a college football coach is the highest-paid state employee. After getting a $400,000 raise last year, UGA head coach Mark Richt earns $3.2 million—five times the salary of his boss’s boss, President Jere Morehead. Offensive Coordinator Mike Bobo makes $575,000, and position coaches are paid $230,000–$300,000. Just a fraction of coaches’ salaries are funded with tax and tuition money; the rest comes from sports revenue like alumni donations, ticket sales, memorabilia and TV contracts. But Richt is only in the middle of the pack among SEC football coaches. Alabama’s Nick Saban, the highest paid coach in the conference, makes $5.3 million a year. “Mark Richt can make millions, but Aaron Murray is limited to almost the full cost of attendance, not even the full cost of attendance,” says Nathaniel Grow, a Terry College of Business professor who teaches classes on the economics of sports.

NCAA basketball championship in April, he told Fox Sports “there are hungry nights that I go to bed and I’m starving.” Ole Miss quarterback Bo Wallace agrees. “A lot of guys go to bed hungry at night. That’s real,” he said at an SEC Media Days session in June. “The problem arises when you want to do things other than [buy food]—if you want to buy clothes, if you want to buy shoes, if you want to go out for a weekend, go to Six Flags, take your girlfriend there,” says UGA flanker Chris Conley. “That stuff is costly, and unfortunately, right now athletics alone does not allow you enough money to do that, so when you do step out and do something else, that money does come out of your food money. So it is possible for that [going hungry] to happen, but it’s because you’re using your food money for something other than food. “It does come down to, a lot of weekends, am I going to spend my food money to go out and do something with the guys, or am I going to just stay home?” Conley says. “A lot of times, I end up staying home, because otherwise I won’t have any money for buying groceries or things like that. But I think there should be something—whether it’s a stipend or full cost of attendance, just something for those players who fall through the cracks to have a way to do things college students do.” Between classes, practices, working out and traveling to away games, it’d be virtually impossible for a player to hold down a job from August through January. Some players do work in the summer, Conley says, but even then it affects their preparation. “We had one of our guys take a job at a car dealership this summer, and he was rarely here, because in football, you spend a ton of time preparing and practicing and lifting, so when you dedicate time to something else, it changes the dynamic of the way you can be here,” he says. In addition to their scholarship, room and board, players get a $75 weekly check if they choose a five-day, rather than a seven-day, meal plan. Four players were arrested during the off-season for double-dipping—cashing their checks online, then again at a convenience store. “I think that temptation is always going to be there, because guys, if they’re really not thankful for what they have, they’re always going to want more and more and more and more,” quarterback Hutson Mason says. “I get the same amount of money, and I don’t come from a family that really has much money at all. I think it really comes down to guys making good decisions.”

Paid to Play Ed O’Bannon—a star forward for UCLA’s 1995 national champion basketball team whose pro career was cut short by knee injuries—sued the NCAA five years ago after seeing himself in a video game for which he wasn’t compensated. A federal judge ruled in his favor Aug. 8, and starting in 2015, incoming freshmen football and men’s basketball players will receive $5,000 a year in a trust until graduation for their share of NCAA TV and licensing revenue. While the NCAA fought O’Bannon’s lawsuit, many major football schools would rather just go ahead and pay players, or at least provide a stipend to cover the full cost of attendance (including expenses like books and gas, in addition to tuition, room and board). The rift with smaller, lower-revenue universities led the Power Five conferences to threaten to break away from the NCAA. Earlier this month, university presidents (including Morehead) voted to allow the Power Five a degree of autonomy, paving the way for big-money schools to start covering the full cost of attendance. They can also guarantee scholarships for four years—they’re year-to-year

now—and insure pro prospects’ future earnings against injury. Richt—who estimates that UGA spends $250,000 on each football player per year when travel, training and medical care are taken into account—was quoted in the Athens Banner-Herald saying that he’s in favor of a $2,000 stipend. “I think it’s going to be a lot of positives for the student athlete,” he told a booster club earlier this month. “Everybody is saying that’s the driving force, or at least one of the big driving forces of being able to do that.” The decision, though, is not up to Richt, and it may not come anytime soon. “The mechanics of figuring out what is meant by ‘cost of attendance’ and how it would be calculated is likely to take some time to decide,” university spokesman Tom Jackson said. He and sports communications director Claude Felton referred questions to the SEC home office in Birmingham, AL, but the SEC did not respond to Flagpole’s request for comment. SEC schools can afford to give more to players. Football at UGA generates about a $50 million “profit,” which goes toward subsidizing other, less lucrative sports. Overall, the athletic association about breaks even. Unlike at many universities, it doesn’t lose money and doesn’t get a subsidy from the academic side; in fact, it’s spending $4 million this year on academic and need-based scholarships and endowed professorships. UGA is just 15th in athletics revenue nationwide, paling in comparison to No. 1 Texas, which collected $165 million last year and netted $24 million from all sports combined. The $5,000 mandated by the O’Bannon ruling and $2,000 stipends for the 85 students on football scholarships and 13 men’s basketball players would cost UGA about $700,000— change Richt might find in the back of his Ford pickup. “The SEC has enough money coming in that they can cover that rather comfortably,” Grow says. While the economics of college football are rapidly changing, a number of questions remain unresolved: • The National Labor Relations Board ruled earlier this year that football players at private universities like Northwestern can unionize. State employees are forbidden from joining unions in Georgia, but if the NLRB ruling were ever extended to public universities, Grow speculated that the state legislature might change the law rather than see the Bulldogs lose recruits to union schools. • The NCAA fought Northwestern players in the NLRB case, but like the NFL might eventually decide that allowing players to unionize and collectively bargain might be easier than dealing with a flood of lawsuits, Grow says. • Either the courts or Congress may have to step in to decide whether to increase benefits for athletes in non-revenue-generating sports to match those received by football and men’s basketball players. The O’Bannon case also opens up the question of whether those benefits violate Title IX, the federal law that mandates equality between men’s and women’s sports. • Would fans and fellow students look at players the same way, knowing they’re being paid? • A class-action lawsuit filed in March by labor lawyer Jeffrey Kessler goes even further than O’Bannon, targeting the NCAA’s antitrust exemption. Kessler wants the court to lift any limits on what universities can offer recruits, essentially turning college football into a pro league. “The only thing I’d bet a lot of money on is college football looking a lot different 10 years from now,” Grow says. “I don’t know what that will be, but it won’t be the status quo.” Blake Aued news@flagpole.com

Double Dawgs Denied Grad Students Go to the Back of the Line for Football Tickets

P

rior to the kickoff of last year’s football season, the UGA Athletic Association revamped its student ticket distribution policy. The system, now based on the number of completed UGA hours (transfer credits don’t apply), guarantees that seniors, juniors and sophomores get the entire home season package and their first choice in away-game tickets, too. Sounds fair, right? Allow seniority—and dollars paid to UGA—to dictate preferential order. The problem is that graduate students who also attended UGA for undergrad lose those 120-something completed hours in this system; essentially, they go back to freshman status. Understandably, the Double Dawgs, as these students are dubbed, were pretty upset last year. They think it’s a bit unfair that their four years of time and money given to UGA are completely disregarded, considering they’ve pledged another few years by beginning grad school. Many assumed the policy would be amended for this year’s season, but it has not been altered. Tim Cearley, associate athletic director for ticket operations, says that “the rule was implemented by students on the ticket committee, with the reasoning that a UGA student returning for a fifth year who has had four years of opportunity to attend football games should not take precedent over undergrads.” Cearley also clarified that “grad students may qualify, but only after eligible undergraduates’ requests have been fulfilled.” When asked why the rule wasn’t changed for this season after the backlash last year, Cearley replies that “proposals on any revisions to this policy are under review by students, but would not take effect if at all until 2015 at the earliest.” Though a year has passed since the policy was implemented, students who were upset last year are still upset, just perhaps less vocally. Second-year law student Frances Kim says the policy “has been a source of unhappiness” for returning students, because going to the games is a big part of school culture and the institution itself. Kim also notes that she had no trouble getting a full home season package last year and doesn’t have time

to travel for away games, and as a result she didn’t feel personally affected by the policy much. “However,” Kim continues, “a lot of my peers… were upset by it, particularly because some of the away games, like the Clemson game last year, are some of the biggest ones in our season. After giving so much time and money to the school system, I know a lot of them said it felt like a slap in the face.” She sympathizes with the students who highly value the ability to go to away and postseason games who are disadvantaged by the policy, students like J.B. Lee, a first-year law student returning to UGA. “I never missed a home football game in my four years as an undergrad,” Lee says. “I don’t understand the school’s logic that now, just because I am a graduate student, I have to start from the bottom of the totem pole again.” Lee also points out that fifth- and sixth-year undergraduates take precedence over him in the current system, which is an odd outcome of the policy. “It seems like a clear double standard about who the university values,” says Lee. Even grad students who went elsewhere for their bachelor’s degree think the policy seems to undervalue Double Dawgs. Leah Hixon, a 22-year-old who recently graduated from the University of South Alabama and is just beginning vet school at UGA, says that grad students who attended undergrad here shouldn’t be considered freshmen again. “If I had gone to UGA for undergrad, I would personally be insulted, since I would be paying UGA for eight years of school,” says Hixon. “You would think that would mean something.” She speculates that students attending professional school here will likely be big donors one day, and it seems unwise to upset them by undervaluing their commitment to the school. Lee echoes Hixon’s sentiment. “I love this school and chose to remain here for law school. Instead of rewarding me for being loyal to the school and to the football program, I feel as if I have been pushed aside.” Stephanie Talmadge

A Football Guide for the Not-So-Rabid Fan

As

the horrifying, child-eating bulldog demon statue on the cover of this week’s paper not-so-subtly reminds you, it’s college football season once again. Even if you’re not a Dawgs devotee, we think it still behooves you to know a little—again, really, just a tiny lil’ bit (c’mon, don’t be that guy)—about the team, lest you end up at an impromptu gameday party and find yourself hovering forlornly over the bean dip with no one to talk to. Worstcase scenario, you can use this guide to map out the best time to go to the grocery store. So, for the second year in a row, the two vaguely aware fellas on Flagpole’s nonexistent sports desk offer up a half-baked but hopefully somewhat informative Georgia football season preview for your perusal. Below, the answers to all your burning (imaginary) questions: Is Aaron Murray coming back now that “The Bachelorette” is over? Uh, actually, that was his brother Josh (also a former UGA football player), but no. Aaron graduated after what seems like a 15-year college career and now plays professionally (albeit third on the depth chart) for the Kansas City Chiefs. What did his ex-teammates think about that show, anyway? They weren’t too impressed. “Honestly, I just kind of hate that show in general,” receiver Michael Bennett said. “I guess he’s in love now, so good for him.”

FLAGPOLE.COM ∙ AUGUST 27, 2014

Who’s taking over at QB? That would be Hutson Mason. (Or is it Mason Hutson? No, Hutson Mason.) He’s waited three years for this opportunity. But he’s no Joe, Cox or Tereshinski—seniors who struggled when they finally got a chance to play. After Murray tore his ACL against Kentucky late last season, the former All American out of Lassiter High School in Marietta threw for 808 yards and four touchdowns in two-and-half games. And it’s not like he’ll lack for targets. Bennett, Chris Conley, Justin Scott-Wesley and—if he can ever get over his knee problems—Malcolm Mitchell are returning, and Richt has touted the team’s depth with cornerback Brendan Langley switching to offense. If this year is anything like last year, Lord knows they’ll need it. Or Mason could just hand off to Todd Gurley or Keith Marshall. Marshall, who ran for 746 yards as a freshman, played in just five games last year due to a torn ACL, but he seems fine now. Gurley rushed for 986 yards last year despite dealing with a sprained ankle. Behind them are Brendan Douglas, who filled in for the maimed quite nicely, and a couple of highly touted newcomers, the wonderfully named Sony Michel and Nick Chubb (lol). While Richt is confident in the freshmen’s running ability, they’ll only play if they can improve their pass protection, he says. Conley’s going to whip out a lightsaber and go all Mace Windu on Clemson, right?

Unlikely. He did make a Star Wars fan film in the offseason, but he’s set his nerd-dom aside for now. “The filmmaking stuff is just me being a student, so now it’s time to be an athlete again,” he said nervously, while dark-cloaked athletic director Greg McGarity sat menacingly in the shadows just beyond. “Gooooood,” McGarity whispered, his pale skin glowing under Butts-Mehre’s harsh fluorescent lights.

How’s the defense? Better, hopefully. Much-maligned defensive coordinator Todd Grantham fled to Louisville to work for noted turncoat and adulterer Bobby Petrino for $1 million a year. In a classy move befitting his new employer, Grantham threw shade at UGA play-caller Mike Bobo after leaving. Good riddance. Richt hired Jeremy Pruitt, who helped Florida State win a national championship last year, as Grantham’s replacement. Pruitt’s also worked for perennial defensive powerhouse Alabama and Hoover High School, where he displayed his ignorance of vegetables on the MTV reality show “Two-A-Days.” Richt says Pruitt is doing a good job of holding defensive players accountable, and at least some are responding. Linebackers Ramik Wilson and Jordan Jenkins both made the preseason AllSEC Team. As mediocre as the defense was last year, special teams were a fucking disaster—so bad that they spawned a parody Twitter account. This year, Richt has named not one, but two

(count ‘em, two!) special teams coordinators. That’s four shoulders for Collin Barber to cry on next time one of his punts is blocked and returned for a touchdown. COME ON COLLIN.

I heard something about a playoff? See? You have been paying attention. 2014 marks the debut of the College Football Playoff, the promising but as-yet untested system that emerged from the death of the controversial Bowl Championship Series, or BCS. No longer will mindless computer algorithms and unavoidably biased anonymous polling choose the best football team in the land! Instead, we’ll have a two-game semifinal followed by a winner-take-all title game on Jan. 12, 2015 that (#realtalk) is probably going to be a rematch of the SEC championship. But not to worry: The AP and USA Today polls still exist for your mindless arguing pleasure, not to mention the inevitable grumbling about which teams make—or don’t make—the final four. There will also still be a shit-ton of meaningless postseason bowl games to enjoy during your holiday-season couch bender. So, what’s your prediction? The Bulldog Nation has no delusions (well, fewer delusions than usual) of winning a national championship this year after a season that started with UGA ranked No. 6 in the country and ended with an 8–5 record. But UGA is No. 12 in the AP and USA Today coaches’ polls and will compete with No. 9 South Carolina for the SEC East title. The

Josey and Kony Ealy. If it stays healthy, Mizzou, which enjoys a relatively lightweight non-conference schedule, could very well be a sleeper team again in 2014. The over/under on clueless announcers referring to the openly gay Sam as a “distraction:” one.

WHO: Arkansas WHEN: Oct. 18 WHERE: Little Rock

The Razorbacks beat the Bulldogs last year. The Samford Bulldogs, that is. Maybe they’ll actually win a conference game in 2014, but this one probably won’t be it.

WHO: Florida WHEN: Nov. 1, 3:30 p.m. WHERE: Jacksonville (duh)

Dawgs have four ranked teams on their schedule: No. 16 Clemson at home Aug. 27, the No. 9 Gamecocks in Columbia Sept. 13 and No. 5 Auburn at home Nov. 15. Missouri, which doesn’t make the coaches’ poll, is ranked No. 24 by the AP. Georgia’s other West opponent this year is lowly Arkansas (winless in conference play last year), meaning no LSU or Alabama. While no SEC schedule is easy, we can see them going, say, 10–2 if they stay healthy. Or the entire receiving corps’ knee ligaments could go flying and put out Gurley’s eye, dooming the Dawgs to another Taxslayer.com Gator Bowl. That said, we’re totally gonna win a national championship this year. Here’s what’s on tap:

WHO: Clemson WHEN: Aug. 30, 5:30 p.m. WHERE: Athens

The rematch of last year’s opener will feature one of the nation’s most explosive offenses against what’s expected to be an outstanding Clemson defense. But can the Tigers score? Star quarterback Tajh Boyd and running back Roderick McDowell are gone, replaced by career backup Cole Stoudt and… well, we’re not really sure. Freshman Deshaun Watson is waiting in the wings to unseat Stoudt under center.

WHO: South Carolina WHEN: Sept. 13, 3:30 p.m. WHERE: Columbia

Dylan Thompson is looking to fill departed star quarterback Connor Shaw’s shoes. Who will fill Murray nemesis Jadeveon “Holy Shit, That Guy’s Huge” Clowney’s pads? The ‘Cocks are still expected to fill up the win column, though, and this early showdown could determine the eventual division champ. The over/ under on Steve Spurrier headset tosses: 12. (Take the over.)

WHO: Troy WHEN: Sept. 20, noon. WHERE: Athens YAWN. Next.

WHO: Kentucky WHEN: Nov. 8 WHERE: Lexington

WHO: Auburn WHEN: Nov. 15 WHERE: Athens

Unless former Bulldog Nick Marshall gets caught hotboxing on the way to Athens, the Tigers will be a serious challenge for Georgia. This one’s a hotly anticipated contest. Last year’s UGA-Auburn game was one of the most unforgettable and frankly devastating in the series’ storied history. Just remember to bat it down this time, you guys.

WHO: Charleston Southern WHEN: Nov. 22 WHERE: Athens

Eh. Take advantage of the lull in traffic during the game to head out for some shrimp and grits.

WHO: Georgia Tech WHEN: Nov. 29 WHERE: Athens

2013’s double-overtime win over the Ramblin’ Wreck was a thriller, but let’s hope enough players are out of jail and out of the hospital that we can breathe a bit easier this time. The over/under on the number of passes the Jackets complete: 2.5. (Take the under.) Blake Aued and Gabe Vodicka Stephen Colquitt / UGA Athletics

Todd Gurley sprained an ankle last year but managed to stiff-arm the ACL fairy. Let’s hope all his ligaments stay intact.

Coming off the Gators’ worst season in 35 years—or best, depending on how you look at it—Will Muschamp is inexplicably still employed, so their mediocrity is likely to continue until they wise up and poach Hugh Freeze from Ole Miss. (Please don’t–Blake.) Florida was dead last in the SEC in scoring last year. “We needed to make some changes on offense,” Muschamp told the Miami Herald, which is kind of like a Gator fan saying, “We needed to make some changes on our choice of attire.”

The good news for Kentucky fans: Basketball season starts Nov. 2. The bad news for Kentucky fans: This is a football game.

WHO: Tennessee WHEN: Sept. 27 WHERE: Athens

Tennessee is going through an eternal transitional phase, cycling through three head coaches from 2009–2012 before finally landing a keeper in Butch Jones. The Vols managed to be competitive last season, taking Georgia to overtime in a 34–31 nail-biter, but they’ve got several years before they’re a serious contender. QB Justin Worley and receiver Marquez North head up what figures to be a much-improved passing game.

WHO: Vanderbilt WHEN: Oct. 4 WHERE: Athens

Why do they call it “homecoming” when the last game was at home, too? After one of the best seasons in school history (9–4, which is sad when you think about it), the Commodores lost head coach James Franklin to Penn State and star receiver Jordan Matthews to the NFL. They’ll be back to the Vandy of old.

WHO: Missouri WHEN: Oct. 11 WHERE: Columbia

The other, other conference Tigers made a surprise run last season, finishing 12–2 and winning the SEC East. But they’ll have to contend with the loss of quarterback James Franklin, as well as stars Michael Sam, Henry

Sad Collin Barber might be less sad now that there’s a special teams coordinator.

U

niversity of Georgia student athletes are never more than one tweet or Facebook post away from facing disciplinary action or losing their eligibility. Each sport within the UGA Athletics Association has policies for regulating athletes’ social media conduct. Some teams require that their players’ social networking sites be private, with the stipulation that the sports staff “be able to access your site.� And some sports, like basketball, have polices that go as far as governing students’ intimate relationships: “Stay out of gray areas, orgies and gang bangs are inappropriate.� Most of the policies include an ambiguous statement that content and pictures posted to social media “must be appropriate.� What is appropriate is determined by the administration or coaching staff. A certain level of notoriety comes with being a prospective football recruit for UGA. And public scrutiny for wayward comments is intensified due to the constant eyes of avid Bulldog fans who follow and read every social media post by athletes and recruits. According to the UGA Athletic Association’s social media policy, “UGA Football recommends that studentathletes not participate in social networking sites such as Facebook, Myspace and Twitter.� It goes on to say that if the student does participate in social media, “he may not post information regarding the team or any other material that could be detrimental to the team or UGA Athletic Department.� Anyone breaking the rules by posting something unfavorable can be subject to disciplinary action. Coach Mark Richt said during a press conference early this month that one player’s social media account actually cost him his scholarship offer. “[The player] had some stuff on social media we didn’t like. We keep an eye on that. We told him, we told his coach, ‘We don’t condone that,’ and he was a guy who was already committed to Georgia,� Richt said. “And then he persisted, actually changed his little handle [the name he uses online] and continued to do that kind of thing, thinking we wouldn’t find out, and we found out about it, and we cut him. We rescinded that offer, because he’s not going to do what we say to do at that point, then what’s going to make us feel like he’s going to do it when he gets here? There’s definitely a vetting process that we’re very serious about.� Richt wouldn’t publicly mention the name of the player who was dropped, but when asked about what type of social media activity was deemed inappropriate enough to rescind a scholarship offer, he said, “I don’t want to get into specifics, but anything that might offend my wife. That’s a pretty good start right there.� The Atlanta Journal-Constitution narrowed down the possibilities to six players who de-committed in 2014: Nick Glass, a defensive back from Peachtree Ridge High School; Stanley Williams, a running back from George Walton Academy; Demarre Kitt, a wide receiver from Sandy Creek; Dontavius Russell, a defensive tackle from Carrollton; Krenwick Sanders, a wide receiver from Wayne County; and Kendall Gant, a defensive back from Lakeland, FL.

This season, the football team has banned all freshman players from any social media interaction. According to Claude Felton, senior associate athletic director for sports communications, the freshmen were “asked� not to participate in social media this season. In a recent article for the University of Maryland’s Law School Academic Journal of Business and Technology, student press advocate Frank LoMonte writes that such restrictions could be deemed—and probably are—unconstitutional. LoMonte, executive director of the Student Press Law Center, a Washington, D.C.-based advocacy group for student press and First Amendment rights, argues in his article, aptly named “Fouling the First Amendment: Why Colleges Can’t, and Shouldn’t, Control Student Athletes’ Speech on Social Media,� that several precedents set by Supreme Court cases would likely favor any student athlete willing to challenge the status quo. However, some players, like UGA wide receiver Chris Conley, do not feel that any of the policies infringe on their First Amendment rights. “If you have a particular opinion on anything—yeah, you can post that. I mean, you’re a student, you’re in college, you’re supposed to be free thinking. There’s no problem with that,� Conley says. “Personal attacks, language, being disrespectful to women—those are things we never do, places that we don’t go.� He adds that some players don’t realize the number of eyes watching their social media accounts. “Sometimes you want to be cognizant of who’s reading those tweets, and you don’t want to offend anybody,� he said. The key is being “respectful,� Conley says. “People are looking at everything that you do, and you’re representing a program, you’re representing more than yourself. In doing that, when you sign on to play at Georgia, you know you represent the football team, you represent the university and you represent your family,� he tells Flagpole. “When you do that, there are certain ways you are supposed to approach public speaking.� UGA linebacker Davin Bellamy used his Twitter account in a positive way when he was charged with driving under the influence during the off-season—by embracing his mistake and apologizing to his fans. “Would like to apologize to #dawgnation for my immaturity. I have embarrassed myself, my family, & my brothers. I will gain your trust back,� he tweeted. Some senior players—like UGA quarterback Hutson Mason— choose not to deal with social media at all during the football season due to the constant barrage of tweets from fans. “I’m off social media now, really just focusing on how I can get better and how I can play good enough to help this team win,� Mason says. He says he misses it when he has free time or while using the toilet. “No one uses a newspaper anymore; that’s what Twitter’s for,� he jokes. “When I’m busy, I don’t miss it, but when I’m sitting at home just laying in the bed, I’m like ‘Man, I got to get back on there.’� David Schick schick@uga.edu

movie pick SIN CITY: A DAME TO KILL FOR (R) Sex. Violence. Anguish. Revenge. Heartbreak. The integral components of a great crime story. Sin City: A Dame to Kill For is not a great crime story, or stories as it may be, since the movie is comprised of separate vignettes like the original feature. But fans of the original movie, directed by Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller, should find that the sequel fuels hardboiled desire. Sin City: A Dame to Kill For should have been made years ago, since the startling style of the first installment was genuinely groundbreaking in its way and has gone on to inspire countless other movies, commercials and whatever else. Exploitation movies don’t exist in the same manner that they used to in the 1970s and 1980s, so there was something Mickey Rourke gleefully, aggressively profane in how Rodriguez and Miller cranked it out in 2005. These stories, however, are nothing new. The Sin City movies are based on Miller’s comic book series, centered around a mythic city of corruption and vice rather than a single continuing character. Heavily influenced by the right-wing crime writer Mickey Spillane, the Sin City series upholds the knuckle-dragging values of sex-obsessed thugs, dangerous dames and sadistic heavies greedy for more pain.

The original Sin City was startling in ways because the gleaming black and white style (with moments of ravishing color) was fresh to the eyes, even though the tale itself was weary and uninspiring. The deal’s the same here, although the visualizations feel too commonplace and Miller’s right-wing leanings and rampant misogyny (women are always damaged angels or cruel whores) lacks irony. So why is this worth seeing? Because it’s true to itself and the Sadean universe of Sin City and its creator. And in that respect, Sin City: A Dame to Kill For has its perverse charms. It also has some fine performances, specifically from Mickey Rourke as Marv, reprising his role from the first movie, Eva Green, as the deliriously green-eyed vixen of the title, and the always underutilized Powers Boothe as a corrupt politician whom a wily cardshark, played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt, engages with in nasty fashion. Sin City: A Dame to Kill For lacks sparks and Rodriguez proves more than ever that he’s a 12-year-old boy trapped in a man’s body. But fans of the original movie and the comic books will find this worthy of attention nevertheless. It’s all a bit toothless, but it still chomps. Derek Hill

e n hi ac M pe Hy e th t ns ai Ag ge Ra Black Kids and the Art of Indie Rock Rebirth A

quick refresher, if you’re having trouble placing the indie-pop group Black Kids: They played an instantly legendary show at an early Athens PopFest. Their song “I’m Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How to Dance With You” showed up in movies like Role Models. Their Wizard of Ahhhs EP was the soundtrack to your carefree, sun-splashed summer, way back in 2007. The four-song collection, self-released via MySpace (2007!), received a barrage of acclaim. Pitchfork writer Marc Hogan gave the EP an 8.4 rating out of 10 and slapped a Best New Music tag on it, writing, “Black Kids make catchy, tightly executed songs that put a memorable stamp on pop’s classic themes.” Beyond the blogosphere, dailies and glossies alike came calling: The New York Times wrote that the band was “one of a handful of must-sees” at that year’s CMJ festival, calling its music “peppy, clap-along, brittle pop, unpolished but immediately likable.” Rolling Stone and NME also gushed. Soon, the band was playing international festivals to tens of thousands and touring with the Kaiser Chiefs—all without a full-length to its name. “That was a bonkers situation to be in,” says singer and guitarist Reggie Youngblood. “I doubt anyone could deal with that craziness. You know how every year you hear about a buzz band canceling shows and citing ‘exhaustion’? That’s a reasonable thing to do. We never said ‘no’ to anything. It’s OK to say ‘fuck no’ sometimes. Morrissey does it all the time.”

FLAGPOLE.COM ∙ AUGUST 27, 2014

The constant touring began to take a toll on the group. In 2008, Youngblood told the Salt Lake City Weekly, “I feel like I’m about to fall down, actually… But this is what I’ve been working towards for years, so you just do it. That’s all that matters.” In July 2008, Black Kids released Partie Traumatic via major label Columbia. It was a slick, danceable 10-song LP produced by Suede guitarist Bernard Butler and featuring cheekily titled songs like “I’ve Underestimated My Charm (Again).” Far from garnering the same breathless praise as its predecessor, the album was met with a bunch of vaguely positive assessments, a few negative reviews and one outright instance of cruelty: Pitchfork, the site that had set Black Kids on a path to stardom, published a review that consisted of a JPG of two frowny-faced dogs, the word “sorry” and an “uh-oh face” emoticon. The accompanying rating: 3.3. As swiftly as it had landed in the buzz bin, Black Kids fell into obscurity. The blogs that had so vociferously championed them moved coldly on to the Next Big Thing. The next time the group showed up on Pitchfork, it was for a 2011 feature titled “One-List Wonders.” “We don’t harbor resentment,” Youngblood says about being thrown through the hypemachine wringer. “That would be really, really sad. Also, if you’re willing to accept praise from someone—which we were—then you should be willing to accept the criticism, as

well. Especially if that criticism is two cute puppies.” After releasing the Cemetery Lips EP in 2009, the group fell silent. Two members started families. Bassist Owen Cohen moved to Brooklyn and struck out on his own as Gospel Music. Meanwhile, Youngblood relocated to Athens and began playing around town with his power-pop project Night School. But recently, there have been rumblings of rebirth in the Black Kids camp. Last year, the band entered The Glow Recording Studio, laying down tracks for an upcoming second LP with local engineer and longtime friend Jesse Mangum, who recorded Wizard of Ahhhs before decamping to Athens from Jacksonville, FL. Youngblood stresses that there are “no definite plans [for its release]. We spent a couple of weeks [in the studio], working on ideas, and now we’re on tour trying them out live.” If Black Kids is to make a grand return, now is the perfect opportunity for a group that has always been ahead of its time. In 2014, it’s common for musicians to release material exclusively via iTunes or Bandcamp, but in 2007, it was still a radical concept. (Reviews of Wizard of Ahhhs now read like blasts from the past. “It’s not available in stores,” Hogan marveled.) And even if emoji-laden listicles can be said to represent a new era of cultural criticism, that distribution model has also lessened said criticism’s influence. That is, when fans can explore New Music with a few simple

clicks, they’re free to form opinions without being told what’s the Best of it and what’s not. But if Youngblood senses a redemptive narrative emerging, he’s not letting on, saying he just wants to “start playing out more, and wrangle our songs into an album. Just finish what we started for our long-suffering friends.” It’s surely no coincidence, at least, that Black Kids’ reemergence is centered on the town that first put the group on the map. Despite the ensuing drama, Youngblood recalls that fateful 2007 show with fondness. “I love that it happened in Athens,” he says. “It was already a special place to me before then. I remember that we made these bobo CD-Rs—we used some Peter Saville font for the track listing—and after we played, everyone wanted one. Probably for the font. “It was [at] Little Kings. The Pains of Being Pure at Heart played after us. Looking back, it feels portentous, because it was our first time playing out of Jacksonville,” he continues. “And then everything happened.” Gabe Vodicka

Sounds Only Like Itself

M

ost music sounds like other music. Children learn by imitation, and it’s hard to outgrow that pattern, which stirs in artists of any age who have been struck by the work of their betters. It’s through the imitator’s personalization that music grows and develops. It’s a very natural state of evolution. This theory still does not explain the music of Shabazz Palaces, which speaks less to evolution than mutation; there is no clear predecessor. The Seattle-based duo of MC/ multi-instrumentalist Ishmael Butler and percussionist/multi-instrumentalist Tendai “Baba” Maraire is electronic, but not repetitive. It’s ostensibly based in hip hop, but is several leaps further into radical sound-based composition than anything currently on the radio. (Butler, for his part, did his stint in the mainstream with his group Digable Planets, which had a hit with “Rebirth of Slick [Cool Like Dat]” in 1993.) The source of Shabazz Palaces’ uniqueness stems from its process, which attempts to remove the barriers between the members’ truest selves and the finished product. Live, the pair tinkers constantly with a small setup of samplers, keyboards, effects and percussion. There is no DJ; Butler and Maraire physically regenerate their sprawling, psychedelic songs—or, rather, they re-imagine them. “We don’t really try to recreate the album when we play live,” says Butler. “We see the live performance as being something totally different, where what we make in the studio is a reference point, and really, a point of departure. The two are related—but not very closely.” Whether in the studio or onstage, the group uses these performative means to reach purely personal ends. You can hear it in its celestial, floating-tempo musical space, born of original invention, not re-appropriation. The first step in this process is a limitless starting point, says Butler. “We use every instrument you can think of in the studio. All kinds of drums, all kinds of keyboards, all kinds of drum machines.” When writing, “we come up with the idea from something spontaneous and then we try to capture that so it’s not getting filtered through anything else,” he continues. “If we can have spontaneous moments that are directly related to our instincts as musicians and writers, then that’s how we’re gonna get some originality, more so than trying to figure out how to compose something really structured and standard.” The results, as documented on Shabazz Palaces’ recent sophomore LP, Lese Majesty,

reflect those efforts. While the essence of hip hop courses through the music’s attitude and atmosphere, gone is the classic process of sampling a beloved record and rendering it one’s own. Golden Age techniques are replaced by something like the musical equivalent of free associative writing, an intuitive set of movements and gestures that key into Butler and Maraire’s deepest intentions. Compared to the army of source sounds they employ in the recording environment, the small selection of tools the duo uses live might seem confining. “I don’t feel like it’s limiting,” Butler says. “It’s less stuff, but I’ve heard people just clapping their hands and singing that have played some of the most far-out shit I’ve ever heard. These are songs that have, over time, given way to some other rhythm or some other riff. We might stop the original song altogether and just take off on this whole other flight, make up some new words, make up some new chorus, make up some new melodies.” This embrace of an unknown endpoint stems from innate musical traditions. If Butler’s aesthetic rings true with jazz fans, he’s a student of that world; Digable Planets sampled Art Blakey, Herbie Hancock, Rahsaan Roland Kirk and others. Maraire is the son of Dumisani Maraire, a Zimbabwean mbira master who taught ethnomusicology at the University of Washington. Likewise, Shabazz Palaces’ approach wasn’t born of some lightning-bolt epiphany; it arose so naturally that it barely registers now as a shift in Butler’s thinking. “There was a time when I felt like performing and making music [had] to be more spontaneous than it [was] mapped out and composed,” he says. “I just felt like I wanted to have that be more part of my endeavor than just sampling and tracking out stuff, that kind of thing. It just changed for me at some point.” However he arrived, by refusing to be anything less than himself, Butler found his new direction. Evolution doesn’t always have to be a slow process or a leap into the future: The way forward often resides within. Jeff Tobias

Jared Collins and Kimberly Drew

O

verall, artists and musicians have little to complain about in towns like Athens. But, according to k i d s frontman Jared Collins and longtime scene vet Kimberly Drew, that doesn’t mean there isn’t room for improvement. Along with the generous contributions of others, the duo has recently taken their planned multi-use venue, Noun Factory, to the next level, turning what was initially envisioned as a DIY playground into something more fully realized. “We want to make it a welcoming environment for other people to come in and explore what they do,” says Drew. As Collins and Drew see it, Athens doesn’t have a space conducive to “immersive performances” at the present time, performances with a non-traditional bent and a focus on mixed media. Away from the hustle and bustle of downtown, the former preschool at 145 Ruth Drive seemed like the perfect location to set up shop. Those not intimately connected to the local DIY scene might be surprised to learn that this is not Noun Factory’s first rodeo. Collins and Drew hosted events in an apartment at the Chase Street warehouses before deciding to move the operation to its new location. Noun Factory is designed to help artists do what they do best: make art. That might mean a place to record or a space for collaboration; Noun Factory’s proprietors are open to what may come. Imposing limits on the space would be counterintuitive to its mission, they say. To wit, Collins and Drew hope Noun Factory can accommodate events and endeavors off the traditional arts radar. Drew noted that the Athens Fencing Club plans to use the space to teach locals the esoteric sport. Others have expressed interest in hosting low-cost seminars on film history and theory, complete with screenings of canonical works. Noun Factory will host a celebration of its impending opening at the 40 Watt Club on Aug. 29, where local bands Monsoon, Bronze Brain, Oak House and Tongues will perform. Although proceeds from the event will help Noun Factory raise money to improve the

venue’s budget for sound equipment, Drew emphasizes that the new venture is not a nonprofit and should not be confused as such. “Our goal is to be 100 percent legitimate and keep the same ethos of something like [a DIY space],” she says. Along with musician and partner Jacob Deel (Muuy Biien, Cottonmouth), the pair has filed paperwork to operate as an LLC, complete with all the permits required for a multi-use venue. The 40 Watt concert will coincide with the release of a limited-edition cassette compilation, But What Does It Sound Like?, that will be available for purchase at the show, as well as Low Yo Yo Stuff and Noun Factory. The cassette features nine songs from local artists affiliated with Noun Factory since its inception (some of whom will be performing during the 40 Watt showcase). The songs on the compilation were recorded live in the new space by Southern Shelter’s Sloan Simpson. Given the outpouring of support that Noun Factory has received thus far, Collins and Drew are excited to launch the venue as soon as possible. Barring any bureaucratic delays, they hope to be fully operational by mid-September and have already begun booking bands and art installations for future dates. Whatever is in the cards, above all, Collins and Drew see potential to “fill a gap” for the music and arts communities in town. “It’s a place [that exists] out of necessity for Athens,” adds Collins. “Most venues can’t do [what we plan to do], and it’s not because they don’t want to. It’s because they can’t accommodate it… If a metal band wants to spit blood on the walls, we’ll paint them white and say, ‘Yes’.” Dan Mistich

Music News And Gossip Picture Pages: Over the summer, two tributes to the late Bill Doss (The Olivia Tremor Control, The Sunshine Fix) popped up on Facebook courtesy of longtime Sunshine Fix webmaster and close friend of Doss’, Tricia Soglin. The first is pretty much a normal band page with a bunch of photos, music and the like located at facebook.com/thebilldoss. The second is a group page, at facebook.com/ groups/billdoss, open to the public, where anyone can add anything they’d like relating to Doss, his work and life. Doss passed away suddenly July 30, 2012. His positive outlook and endless creativity are well remembered on these portals, and fans and friends will find much to dig through. Turn it Up: Decatur, GA-based nonprofit Poverty is Real will host its annual series of shows benefiting Family ConnectionCommunities In Schools Sept. 2, 4 and 5, presented under the name Amplify Concerts. Tuesday, Sept. 2 will feature a The Sunshine Fix multi-band Neil Young tribute show titled Goldrush. It happens at the Georgia Theatre and features Dead Confederate, Blue Blood, Buffalo Hawk, New Madrid and all-star group Stray Taters, composed of members of Futurebirds, The District Attorneys and Woodfangs. Thursday, Sept. 4 will see Moon Taxi playing an acoustic show at Green Room ahead of a full-on band set at the Theatre later that same night. The series will finish off Friday, Sept. 5 at the Melting Point with Shawn Mullins and Connor Pledger. Tickets for these shows are $5, $8 and $17, respectively, and are available through each venue’s website. For more information, see amplifyathens.org, fc-cis.org and povertyisreal.us. What’s In a Name?: The debut by hot-to-trot duo Cancers is now streamable online, even though it won’t be out until Sept. 16. Head to soundcloud.com/noisyghostpr to hear the band’s grungy Fatten the Leeches. Lots has been written, even in this column, about how 1990s it all sounds, but no one has yet mentioned that there was an actual Athens band in the actual 1990s named Cancer. Yeah, it’s a one-letter difference, and the earlier one eventually changed its name to Bliss, which was equally non-unique, so I digress. I suppose in the end the big wheel just keeps on turnin’.

In the Shadows: In the fight between obscurity and nothingness, the hands-down winner for this month is Meth Wax. That’s the recording name for Daniel Tanghal. His newest album is titled Horse Placenta, and I’ll climb out on a limb and say I’ve been enjoying it as much as I ever did Guided By Voices’ Vampire On Titus. It’s the fourth Meth Wax release in the past 13 months: The EP-length Robotripping For the Kids has six tracks, as does the self-aware Sukululu EP, but the massive December 2013–January 2014 clocks a full 40 songs. Horse Placenta is a reasonable 11 tracks of lo-fi garage-pop a la Sebadoh, GBV, Amy Hairston

Ween, etc. A quick dig through our archives reveals pretty much a total dearth of live performances, so who really knows what his plans are. But you should plan on spending some time soaking this stuff in. Listen in at methwax.bandcamp.com. Echo Back: Coy Campbell dispatched to Savannah a couple of years ago. Since that time, he has driven back on the weekends to record an album, Bell Rope, under the band name Nightingale News. Although the songs were written between 2008–2012, it took a while for this self-financed project to come to fruition. Campbell worked with engineer Suny Lyons, who also played guitar on the album. Other players include John Neff, Jacob Morris, K.C. Commander, Lemuel Hayes, Marie Davon, Nick Goodson and Adam Poulin. Although it’s a cliché to describe songs as deeply personal, there’s that special, I dunno, “something” on this record. Lyons is a great engineer, and the crack team of players is certainly enviable. It all comes together best on “Wheat Penny,” where it sounds as if Campbell’s earth was hollowed out and filled with ice water. The long winter’s nap of a track is fitting for an album that won’t come out until Oct. 28, but you can preview a few tracks over at nightingalenews.bandcamp.com.

art notes “Perspectives: Georgia Pottery Invitational” As one of the largest exhibitions of its kind in the Southeast, the 12th annual “Perspectives: Georgia Pottery Invitational” at the Oconee Cultural Arts Center presents the work of 50 of Georgia’s most talented contemporary ceramic artists through multiple exhibitions, gallery talks, artist demonstrations and studio tours. “Perspectives” kicks off with an opening gala reception and preview sale on Friday, Aug. 29 from 6–9 p.m. A $10 admission fee provides first dibs at the extensive selection of handmade pottery. The reception also includes an opportunity to meet this year’s participating artists, enjoy refreshments and hear a live performance by the Solstice Sisters, who harmonize old-time country, traditional folk and swing. The largest collection of functional and decorative pottery will be on sale in Rocket Hall, with an overwhelming total of 5,000 original pieces ranging from pots, bowls, Tripti Yoganathan cups, vases, dinnerware, serving trays, plates, sculptures and more. In the Main Gallery, “Participating Potters: 2014” offers an abbreviated, crème de la crème showcase with two of the best pieces created

by each artist, as well as one additional piece selected from their private collections. For this year’s lineup, Athens will be represented by Maria Dondero, Carter Gillies, Juana Gnecco, Jennifer Graff, Rob Sutherland and Minsoo Yuh. First-time participants include Cindy Angless of Clarksville, Jim Bridgeman of Fayetteville, Gnecco, Kathy Murphy of Macon, Kathy Phelps of Atlanta and Tripti Yoganathan of Tucker. Two additional exhibits will focus on the impressive, incredibly unique work of very talented artists. In the Members’ Gallery, “Trifecta Clay Perfecta” showcases the extraordinary work of Ron Meyers, Ted Saupe and Sunkoo Yuh. Retired as Professor Emeritus after 20 years of teaching at UGA, Meyers has influenced generations of emerging artists and is widely recognized across the country for his red earthenware functional pieces decorated with spontaneous, expressionistic colored slip paintings. Saupe, a UGA ceramics professor, relies on memory, free association and daily experiences to convey personal narratives through utilitarian pieces. Yuh, also a professor at Lamar Dodd, creates alluringly

surreal ceramic sculptures composed of clustered plants, animals and caricature-like humans. In the Hall Gallery, “Music of Clay” presents English style earthenware ocarinas by David Chrzan. Taking whimsical forms like dinosaurs, dragons and sea monsters and decorated with richly colored and textured glazes, his handmade musical wind instruments are capable of playing nine notes. Michael Pitts will lead free gallery talks through the galleries on Sunday, Aug. 31 and Sunday, Sept. 14 at 1 p.m. Pitts, who has over 35 years of experience in pottery, will cover topics including styles, clays, glazes and firing techniques while using various pieces in the exhibit as examples. OCAF will host free demonstrations on Saturdays from 1–4 p.m. in the Rocket Hall Courtyard. On Aug. 30, Atlanta-based studio potter, ceramic historian and educator Rick Berman will focus on wheel throwing. The following week on Sept. 6, Marise Fransolino, also from Atlanta, will share her own tips for throwing and altering pieces. Closing out the series, Athens potter Maria Dondero, known around town for her cream-colored earthenware pieces distinctively painted with plants and animals, will describe approaches to surface design. On Sunday, Sept. 14 from 1–5 p.m., “Perspectives” is also facilitating self-guided studio tours for the public to get a behind-the-scenes look at Normaltown Pottery, the personal studio of Juana Gnecco located at 410 King Ave. in Athens, and Happy Valley Pottery, located at 1210 Carson Graves Road in Watkinsville. Gnecco has been very involved in the local community—organizing pottery classes for Latino women through a program called Casa de la Cultura and teaching children at the Lyndon House Arts Center—and is currently a member of the Long Road Studios clay collective which opened a permanent gallery this past May in Bishop. Happy Valley Pottery—co-owned by Jerry and Kathy Chappelle, who also run Chappelle Gallery—was created in 1970 as an artist community and incubator housing many studios, with over 250 artists having trained under the Chappelles. Attendees can pick up a map for the tour in the Hall Sales Gallery. “Perspectives” will be on view through Wednesday, Sept. 17 from 10 a.m.–5 p.m. daily, including Labor Day. OCAF is located at 34 School St. in Watkinsville, roughly 10 miles from downtown Athens. Jessica Smith

grub notes Location, Location MUSCLES: It’s been sad to watch restaurant after restaurant fail in the beautiful space on the ground floor of The Georgian, which is blessed with high ceilings, vintage tiled floors, stained-glass windows dating to its time as a hotel and a fine location with a surprising amount of parking for downtown. Perhaps folks in that area are more focused on imbibing than filling their stomachs with food, or maybe it just hasn’t found the right tenant until now. South Kitchen + Bar (247 E. Washington St., 706-850-6277) may finally be that tenant. Owned by the team that brought you Trappeze and Highwire Lounge, it has a smart business pedigree. In other words, this is no dream project from someone with delusions that it is a lark to own a restaurant. Chris Benson, the man in the kitchen, has run things on the culinary end at Trappeze for some time, where Anne Yarbrough

he created dishes that nicely balanced punchy flavors with nods to bar standards. He’s doing much of the same here, although the ambitions are slightly greater. One of the smartest ways to eat at South is to hit up its happy hour, which features a light crowd, good specials on drinks and several of the menu’s small plates at low, low prices. The fried calamari, for example, is in no way small and easily feeds two people. The “shaved lemon slicesâ€? (also fried) with which it is garnished should be cut considerably thinner, but the combination of honey hoisin sauce and wasabi ginger mayo, zig-zagged across the squid Ă la IHOP syrup, is surprisingly successful. The deviled egg trio is indeed a small dish, a nice little snack that’s still well priced at $4. One of them mixes in pimento cheese and bacon, one relies on Masala curry, and the most enjoyable egg interprets hot wings and blue cheese with ĂŠlan. Housemade pickles are a repeated highlight. The smoked chicken thigh rillettes, served in a mound that calls to mind Close Encounters of the Third Kind, needs more fat to bind it together, but the pickles and olives that come with it will keep you

snacking away happily. Pork belly has hit the point of market saturation, even in Athens, and is often poorly cooked, but Benson does a fine job with it here, pairing it with fried pickled okra (hard to eat daintily but a great bar nibble) and a passable but unexciting truffled creamy macaroni and cheese. In general, he does better with salt and vinegar than with sweet stuff; the wahoo medallions with grits and peach chutney are well cooked but need salt, whereas the broccoli rabe that comes on the side is really nice stuff. Lunch has just gotten started, and, from a fried green tomato BLT that is, in fact, a rather successful po’ boy, to simple but good sliders (little in the way of toppings; a faint pink line running through the middle of the flat patty), a zippy tomato soup and a Waldorf salad modification that incorporates blueberries, there is much that will please you here, too. Service, at least if you draw Frank Ke for your waiter, hits the sweet spot between too friendly/ attentive and too cool for you. The drinks menu is a focus as well, with intelligent craft cocktails made with good ingredients and a well described small list of wines by the glass and draft beer. South is open for lunch and dinner Monday–Saturday and takes credit cards.

HEART: The location that once housed Caliente Cab on Tallassee Road has likewise been a spot of significant turnover, each tenant somehow managing to have less atmosphere than the ones that preceded it. Rashe’s Cuisine (706850-4164) is attempting to change that to some extent, making use of the stage and hosting live music and private parties, but the food business is largely take-out, ordered from a sliding window and served up in Styrofoam. None of which is cause not to recommend it, but order carefully. The curries tend to be rather bony, and the patties, while a great lunch deal (one patty, a big hunk of Coco bread and a large soda for about $4), are uninspiring. The cabbage is a far cry from the spicy, sweet stuff Kelly’s serves, but is in some ways preferable, depending on your tastes. Rice and peas can be one of the great dishes of the cuisine, the cheapest way to create a complete protein and also a showcase for a complex broth, but it’s just fine here. What is very good and worth scheduling a Friday trip to Rashe’s for is the fried fish on special that day, served with four large pieces and an array of wonderful pickled peppers and carrots, plus a couple of sides. Ditto the jerk wings, available all the time, which are not overly spicy but are big, dry-rubbed (i.e., not gross and saucy), well-priced and juicy. Rashe’s is open Thursday–Sunday for lunch and dinner (closing at 9 p.m. most days and 5 on Sunday), serves no booze, but does take credit cards and does catering. Be friendly with the staff, and your appreciation will be returned with clues on what is especially worth your time on a given day. Hillary Brown food@flagpole.com

Umphrey’s McGee

The Classic Center ¡ 8 p.m. ¡ $24–$50 Chicago-based six-piece band Umphrey’s McGee released a new LP, the uncharacteristically hard-rocking Similar Skin, in June, but fans of the group, which has made Athens a second home over the years, know its real strengths lie onstage. Aside from the group’s unimpeachable musicianship and the requisite jam-band light show—both of which, c’mon, are pretty fun to watch—Umphrey’s McGee recently debuted its “Headphones & Snowconesâ€? program, where fans can rent a pair of high-end headphones and listen to a soundboard mix of the concert while they’re grooving hazily along. It’s an admittedly kitschy idea, but it’ll fly at an Umphrey’s show if it’ll fly anywhere. [Gabe Vodicka] EVENT | Friday, Aug. 29– Monday, Sept. 1

Dragon Con

Downtown Atlanta ¡ $150 (four-day pass) The nerd Mecca is almost upon us. Downtown Atlanta will soon be flooded with ghouls, ghosts, zombies, vampires, witches and the most fearsome of all fabled creatures—Trekkies. No, it’s not Halloween. It’s Dragon Con, the annual sci-fi/fantasy convention that happens every Labor Day weekend. The convention will host more than 400 actors, artists, authors and creators who will participate in panels and meet fans, as well as

thousands of hours of other programming. Even if you’re not a nerd, there’s something for everyone at Dragon Con. It’s $150 for a four-day pass, and individual day passes are available on-site. The parade on Saturday at 10 a.m. is free and worth a day trip to Atlanta alone. For more info, visit dragoncon.org. [David Schick] ART | FRIday, Aug. 29

Joel Rosenburg Mural Reception

St. Udio ¡ 7–9 p.m. ¡ FREE! Visible as you head towards downtown on Oconee Street, a vibrant mural designed by local painter Joel Rosenburg now adorns the exterior of St. Udio, a custom design, fabrication and installation company. Mike Harboldt, who co-owns the new metalworks studio with Andrew Flage, attended Lamar Dodd with Rosenburg and approached him after seeing an 11-foot mural he created at the Chase Park Warehouses. For this project, which took 26 days and over 160 hours to complete, Rosenburg decided to bring the studio’s mascot, a fictional patron saint, to larger-than-life dimensions, spanning the entire 14’ by 28’ wall. “I wanted to create St. Udio, the patron saint of the studio. An old man deformed like Hephaestus—as colossal as the Colossus of Constantine or a Buddha carved from a mountainside—locked inside his studio, working into the night, surrounded by what he makes,â€? says Rosenburg. “He creates his own hidden light and is weathered by it. St. Udio is perpetually caught in the exact moment of creation, like a prayer.â€? The reception is an opportunity to meet Rosenburg and see the mural’s details up close.

Goldrush: A Night of Classic Neil Young Songs

Georgia Theatre ¡ 8 p.m. ¡ $5 Part of the now-annual series of local concerts designed to benefit local antipoverty initiatives (formerly known as Poverty is Real but now called Amplify Athens), Tuesday’s show at the Georgia Theatre brings together an impressive group of A-list Classic City bands to celebrate one of the most influential rock and roll songwriters of the 20th Century. Pulling from early-period highlights like On the Beach and Everybody Knows This is Nowhere, Dead Confederate, New Madrid, Blue Blood and others will put their spin on tunes from Young’s classic catalog. Proceeds from the event, as well as others happening later in the week, will go to Family Connection-Communities in Schools, which works locally to coordinate needed services for children and their families.

Maya has a classic longnecked elegance complete with beauty mark. She is an affectionate lap diva, but will not want to share you with other pets. Sweet Poppy on the other hand, wouldn’t mind other pets if introduced properly. She’s the tiniest full-grown cat I’ve ever seen, and has beautiful golden eyes.

Advice for Life’s Persistent Questions Lost Time I recently moved and went from living with roommates to having my own place. I was so excited to finally have some more privacy and time to do things on my own. I expected that living alone would motivate me to cross some things off my to-do list, now that I am free of distractions and able to set my own priorities and schedule. Wrong! Instead of reading, hiking, dusting off an old instrument and applying for a new job, I spend my free time binge-watching TV series on Hulu and stalking people on Facebook. Now that no one is there in my house to judge me, it turns out I have developed a serious Internet and instantstreaming-video addiction. I have some major life goals that I would like to work towards and also a need for rest and exercise, but I feel like the Internet is going to ruin my life. I have tried various ways to control my behavior, but nothing seems to work. I install software to block websites but uninstall it. I put up motivational quotes on my fridge, only to ignore them out of guilt. I turn off my WiFi at my new apartment but then just turn it back on or use my smartphone. Can you suggest some solutions? Internet Addict

it at home. If you need to get online after work hours, you can go to a coffee shop or the public library and use the Internet there. The travel time and effort are usually effective deterrents to overusing the Internet. Bonus: You save yourself $44.95 a month. • Uninstall the email app on your phone. Have you ever received an email that you needed to receive that second? Probably not; people know to call or text when their message is super time-sensitive. • Change your Facebook password to a random string of numbers and letters that you haven’t memorized. Write the new password down and store it on that same high shelf. For the bravest, delete your Facebook account.

Tipping Point Rhonda, can you help me with a modern etiquette question? I consider myself a generous tipper, always adding 20 percent or more to my restaurant tabs. I know that servers are paid dismally and that my tip will help them at least reach minimum wage. But what about more casual restaurants where you pay at the counter first, and the server basically just calls out your name when your order is up or brings your food to the table? (I’m not just talking coffee shops here, but restaurants like Tazikis, Ike and Jane or Big City Bread Café, to name just a few.) I am noticing more and more of these types of places printing receipts with a space for gratuity. I often feel pressure to tip— especially since I am signing the receipt right in front of the person who might be its recipient—but am confused how socially and economically obligatory this is. Are servers at these types of restaurants paid at least the minimum wage? Are tips shared among all staff? What’s going on here, and what is a generous but frugal gal to do? Big Spender
