Defenses
to control
bowl game
By MATTHEW
BORENSTEIN

The last time Georgia and
Virginia Tech faced each
other in football, the Hokies
were not even Virginia Tech
yet.
The school was known
as VPI — Virginia Polytechnic
Institute — back in the 1930s.
Georgia was coached by
Wally Butts, whose name
today adorns the Georgia
athletic offices, which feature
his bust inside.
In 1931, the first year they
played, Georgia won a 40-0
blowout in Athens. VPI
returned the favor with a 7-6
win to open the season in
1932.
Now, more than 70 years
and a name change later,
the Bulldogs will get the
chance to take the edge in
the series.
Georgia will play the
No. 14 Hokies — the nick
name that has stuck
with the team since the
school was VPI — in the
Chick-fil-A Bowl at the
Georgia Dome in Atlanta.
The sold-out game will take
place Dec. 30.

Terrapin, Jittery Joe’s
mix coffee with brews
By KRISTA
DERBECKER
kderbecke@randb.com
Wednesday night at
Buffalo’s, Terrapin Beer
Company will kick off a
release party for this year’s
version of their Wake-n-
Bake Coffee Imperial
Stout.
With the help of Jittery
Joe’s, “this coffee stout is
thick, rich, and full of fla
vor,” and is a brainchild of
brew master Brian “Spike”
Buckowski, according to
the Terrapin Web site.
The stout will be avail
able in stores until
January or February 2007.
“The beers only stay
out for so long,” said John
Cochran, president and

one of the founders of
Terrapin.
But some of last year’s
batch might be brought
out to compare the two at
the party.
Over time, the beer
“mellows out in flavor,” he
added.
The release party, which
begins at 6 p.m. and is
open to everyone, will fea
ture Terrapin giveaways
such as T-shirts, posters
and hats.
And, of course, lots of
beer will be sold.
“It’s a tough job. What
can I say?” Cochran said,
laughing.
But even with this
year’s stout release, there
still are more exciting
things ahead for Terrapin.
The company is work
ing to get a brewery in
Athens, which would open
up possibilities for even
more flavors of Terrapin
beer.
“The fun’s about to
start,” said Dustin Watts,
vice-president in charge of
sales and marketing,
“I’m looking forward to
Spike’s experimenting.”
Freshmen prepare to travel
home, readjust to parents
By CAROLYN CRIST
ccrist@randb.com
Freshmen are preparing
for their first final exams —
and their first extended
trip home.
Even freshmen who
have traveled home
throughout the semester
said they
face the three weeks of
winter break with different
eyes.
“I think I’ll miss college
during the break because I
still have to tell my parents
where I am going and
ask permission to go
places,” said Katuschka
Rakovec, a freshman from
Mobile, Ala.
Angela Goncalves,
another freshman from
Mobile, said, “We’ve
adjusted to a new lifestyle,
but our parents haven’t.”
Amber Smith, a fresh
man from Asheville, N.C.,
said, “I’m an only child, so
my parents don’t know
how to act towards me
and how I’ve changed.
Other than working, I
don’t know what I will do. I
may come back here to see
friends.”
Some students’ activi
ties have kept them from
visiting home this
semester.
Daniel Jordan, a fresh
man from Birmingham,
Ala., is a member of the
Redcoats Marching Band
and has only visited home
twice.
“I can’t wait to go home
because my parents trust
me. I try to put the best
foot forward when I’m
home to set a good exam
ple for my siblings in mid
dle school,” he said.
Nick Lewis, a freshman
from Rome, is avoiding the
pressure of being at home

Davison defeats Maddox
in runoff for ACC mayor
By AUBREY SMITH
basmith@randb.com
Five and a half long months
of campaigning ended in victo
ry for mayor Heidi Davison,
and defeat for her challenger,
Charlie Maddox.
With all precincts reporting,
Davison garnered 5326 votes to
Maddox’s 4344.
Commission candidate Kelly
Girtz also beat Alvin Sheats
with 2139 votes to Sheats’ 1462
for District 9.
Davison supporters gath
ered around a laptop at 8e’s
downtown to watch the results
come in. Davison greeted sup
porters with a calm demeanor
inside the bar.
Charlie Maddox held festivi
ties at his campaign headquar
ters on Baxter Street.
Although the result swung
heavily against the candidate,
Maddox and his supporters
remained upbeat.
Watching the results come
in on a big screen TV surround
ed by dozens of his supporters
and homemade food, Maddox
said, “The voters of Athens are
speaking and will have spoken
by tomorrow morning.”
The pastor and veteran
Georgia Department of Labor
worker said he accepts the
decision of voters but worries
those who did vote today will
have problems with their lead
ership in the next four years.
Davison, who began her
tenure as Athens’ mayor in
2002, said she was encouraged
by the response of voters this
year.
“I’m thrilled that the com
munity reaffirmed my efforts.
It gives me a willingness to
continue the work I’ve been
doing the last four years.”
Davison said she expects
many of the issues on which
she campaigned in 2002 will
remain at the forefront over
next four years.
A1 Davison, the mayor’s
campaign manager and hus
band, said they had a “huge
war room” on Tuesday to sup
port Davison’s efforts.
