UGA Invitational Iron Pour…Metal and Fire Combine

By photostaff on April 13th, 2008

Not all art is born form drying paint and pottery wheels. Some is born from a violent combination of fire and metal. Some art is made not from a few brush strokes, but hours of hard labor while surrounded by the threat of serious injury or death. Iron sculpting is this type of art.

This weekend, the Georgia Sculpting Society held an Invitational Iron Pour at the South Thomas Street Art Complex and invited the public to come and watch sculptors from around the area create raw pieces of metal art from hot molten iron. Below are some photos from the event.

Georgia 45, Auburn 20

By photostaff on November 10th, 2007

Georgia fans have come to know the annual Georgia-Auburn game as the game with the home team disadvantage, however Georgia bucked the trend this year and outscored Auburn 45-20.

This game also marked the first time Georgia has worn a black jersey since 1942. The occasion? The “black out” called for by Georgia seniors. Coach Mark Richt dodged the question all week, but the giveaway was when everyone’s favorite bulldog, Uga, came out on the field wearing a black Georgia sweater.

Georgia 44, Troy 34

By photostaff on November 3rd, 2007

On Saturday Georgia played Troy in their homecoming game. Alumni cheerleaders and band members came out to support the Bulldogs. After a tenuous start, the Dogs secured a victory against the Trojans. Last year Georgia lost its homecoming to SEC rival Vanderbilt.

Troy had the potential to upset Georgia coming into the game with a 6-2 record (both losses came at the hands of SEC schools). The Troy defense created turnovers on the first two Georgia offensive plays, although Georgia broke the streak with a touchdown run on its third. Georgia regained control of the game and pulled away just before the half.

Photos and a few word by Josh D. Weiss:

Homecoming for Georgia is usually one of the least attended games of the season. However, I was surprised and pleased to see an almost full crowd this go round.

I love these guys, and they stayed til the very end. Most fans filed out once Georgia had a strong enough hold. Bummer.

Knowshon Moreno ran an insane amount. I have been partial to no. 4 Sean Bailey, but Knowshon has become one of my favorites. Every time I couldn’t quite see the ball, I just looked for the 24, and sure enough, he had it.

No. 20 Georgia beat no. 9 Florida in Jacksonville, Florida Saturday night, the first Georgia win in Gator country since 2004. Stafford threw three touchdown passes and the Bulldogs sacked Florida quarterback Tim Tebow six times. After the game, fans hoisted players into the stands with them, celebrating a long-awaited win.

Georgia vs. Tennessee at Knoxville

By photostaff on October 6th, 2007

KELLY WEGEL
Our party of four (two writers, another photographer, and yours truly) arrived in Knoxville Saturday at about 1p.m. It was a sea of orange as far as the eye could see.
Once in the stadium, we were relegated to the smallest and most ill-equipped photo room I have ever been in. No wireless connection, barely enough space to fit our laptops, and wires criss-crossing all over the tables and hanging from the ceiling. The feeling of unease grew as Tennessee made touchdown after touchdown. So did the noise. I have to hand it to those Tenn. fans, they may only know one song, but they know it well. I must have heard “Rocky Top” twenty times, no joke. It seemed to burst from them at every opportunity.
Georgia made two touchdowns, Tenn. made five.
As quarterback Matthew Stafford later said in the interview room while I took photos of him, “they just played better than us.”

Juan Melendez

Juan Melendez spoke before Amnesty International, the Golden Key Honor Society, Georgians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty, HLSA, ACS, and anyone else from the community who was interested to hear his story in room 150 of the Student Learning Center Thursday night.

Melendez spent eighteen years on death row before he was exonerated. He spent his time telling his story of how he came to be incarcerated and life inside prison.
