We interrupt all this talk about blackouts and old football rivalries to bring you this bulletin: Basketball season has arrived. In fact, it’s right on top of us. The Bulldogs — that’d be both the male and female variety — open the season Friday night in a rare twin bill at Stegeman Coliseum.
Coach Andy Landers’ squad are sort of stumbling into the first game. They suffered a rather unsightly loss to something called the “Premier Team” in their last exhibition Tuesday night. Not sure what to make of that but the Lady Dogs are usually pretty good and I don’t have any reason to think any different.
Now to coach Dennis Felton’s men’s team. I’m sure many of you will recall my discussions of them back in the offseason. I talked about how they finally resembled a real SEC team and that this was their year to make a move in the league, what with Florida and Kentucky in transition and Georgia finally having a full complement of talented players.

Well the lady dawgs beat Richmond in their opener and the men dawgs beat Jacksonville State in their opener. The men are a team we'll have to just take one game at a time and be thankful for anything positive. The women I think Landers will have up there competing for the championship again.
