What is there to say? The season, which once looked so bright and hopeful stands on the brink of going from just disappointing to utter disaster this Saturday. Nick Chubb, the last son of a dying planet thrust to Earth to serve as it’s protector, is out for the season and after blowing the biggest lead for a loss in the Mark Richt era this Georgia Bulldog program is surrounded by piercing and urgent questions with very few answers in sight . . .
. . . BUT GOOD NEWS, EVERYONE ELSE’S LIFE SUCKS TOO!
Yes, my friends it’s time for your well-deserved dose of Schadenfreude. Not familiar with the practice? Allow me to explain. Schadenfreude is the act of taking pleasure in the misfortune of others! Still confused? There’s a song (NSFW, but also from a Tony Award winning musical so time to find out just how uncool your boss really is).
