And the winner is...
Here are some suggestions as to what Dogs fans can do in addition
to the wonderful cheers that the cheerleaders provide for us.
Robert Todd came up with the best chant, to the tune of Queen’s
“We Will Rtx*k You" which goes “Georgia, Georgia Bulldogs."
Some other chants include Howard Brown’s “Bye you scum, bye
you trash, Shaquille O’Neal’s got diaper rash.”
Other folks came up with ideas to improve the Coliseum atmo
sphere. Mark Harris said that “each person should come up with their
own personalized ‘woof to make the place sound like a kennel of dogs."
Also, Harris said that everyone should countdown the shot clock and
game clock when the time is running out for us and miscount two sec
onds behind both when LSU has the ball.
Jeff Woolford wanted to rename the Coliseum the “Dawghouse."
Kevin Petroski said that the rowdy “Hoop Hounds” (you know, the stu
dents that raise hell while you foolishly tell them to sit down) should
have a “Dogcatcher" to lead the Pound and help the cheerleaders.
Other folks suggested that the fans behind the goal stand and spin in a
circle while screaming when the Tigers line up for a free throw.
My suggestions — everyone in the Coliseum needs to wear a red
shirt and bring a white towel to whirl in the air. The red shakers are
nice, but when everyone is wearing red, they don’t stand out. White
towels will. Each time Chris Jackson touches the ball, yell. Stand the
entire game. Finally, I like ClifF Eason’s suggestions of how to greet
LSU: first, bark at the fans as they enter, and when each player is in
troduced, go back and forth across the stands with “Dog” and “Food.”

Jackson is ready for showdown with the Dogs
By ROB KREMER
Sports Writer
Chris Jackson had a freshman
season last year that made ev
eryone stop and take notice.
‘The best player I’ve ever seen in
college without a doubt,” said
Georgia’s own All-American candi
date Alec Kessler.
Georgia coach Hugh Durham
has compared Jackson’s impact as
a freshman to the instant impact
Herschel Walker had on college
football.
“He had a great one,” LSU conch
Dale Brown said. “Certainly, one of
the best ever.”
The Bayou Bengal sophomore
set three NCAA records for
freshmen. His 55 points against
Ole Miss last year broke his own
freshman record of 53 against
Florida set earlier. His 965 points
last season set another freshman
mark, as well as his 30.2 points per
game.
This vear, with the addition of
several key players, Tiger faithful
expected an exceptional season.
But, the lack of any seniors and
several new players caused a lack
of cohesiveness at the start of the
season.
“It was difficult in the beginning
of the year for people to under
stand their roles/’ Jackson said. “I
was confused a little bit myself on
what I should do with all the talent
we have.”
That was at the start of the year,
when the Tigers were getting used
to each other and Jackson was
slowed by an ankle ir\jury. Now,
Jackson and his new teammates
are starting to gel and there confi
dence is skyrocketing.
“He has improved immensely,”
Brown said. “He hns improved on
his defense, and he is seeing the
court better.
“I think, physically, I’ve been
feeling real well,” Jackson said. “I
am also getting some of my confi
dence back.”
Getting his confidence back? He
was only the second freshman to
ever make the AP first-team All-
American.
And how good would he be if he
ever got his confindence back?
“I don’t know what would
happen,” a laughing Jackson said.
But I have a strong feeling we can
win it all, and it’s just a matter of
going and doing it.
But don’t think that being the
SEC Player of the Year or being
the cover story on Sports Illus
trated has changed the small-town
kid from Gulfport, Miss.
“He is a better person than a
basketball player,” Brown said.
“He is a player that has never for
gotten where he came from.”
Doubles team comes back, beats Pepperdine
By RANDY WALKER
Sports Writer
Georgia’s No. 3 doubles team of
Mike Morrison and Patricio Arnold
came back from a 5-2 third-set def
icit to clinch a 5-4 victory over Pep
perdine on Thursday at the
USTA/ITCA National Indoor Team
Championships in Louisville, Ky.
The Dog duo saved two team
match points in defeating Pepper-
dine’s Alejo Mancisidor and Ashley
Naumann 2-6, 6-4, 7-6 (7-3).
“We didn’t let the pressure
bother us," said Morrison. “We
wanted to make them earn the
points.”
Morrison and Arnold both won
their respective matches at No. 3
and No. 4 singles as second-ranked
Georgia (5-0) and Pepperdine tied
3-3 after singles.
Arnold defeated Tomer Zimmer-
mann 6-4, 1-6, 6-3, while Morrison-
defeated Mancisidor 6-1, 4-6, 6-3.
“Mike and Patricio were our
heroes today,” Georgia coach
Manuel Diaz said. “They won two
tough three-set singles matches
and came through for us in the
doubles.”
Georgia now plays Alabama
today at noon in the quarterfinals.
The Dog duo saved two
team match points.
