Atlanta Braves - World Series Champions...No
Atlanta Falcons or Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Super Bowl Champions...Nope
Phoenix Suns - NBA Champions...Nada
Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets - Men's Basketball National Champions...No (although Florida winning was definitely a good thing.)
Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets - College Football National Champions...Nope
Yes, 2006 was disappointing, but it is now 2007 and things are already looking pretty good. I am declaring 2007:
A-Train's Year of Sports
Kicking the year off will be the Florida (football) Gators. January 8, 2007 the Gators will be taking home the 2007 ADT National Championship. As my uncle would say, "If you're not a Gator, then you're Gator Bait." With that said I guess we can all guess what that would make the Buckeyes from Ohio State.
Later this year during the Madness of March either the Ramblin' Wreck of Georgia Tech or the Gators of Florida will be walking away from the Georgia Dome, National Champions. The Jackets will capture it with the help of two superstar young bucks, Thaddeus Young and Javaris Crittenton. If it is not in the cards then the Gators will take it with their experience having returned all five starters from the 2006 National Champion squad.
The Phoenix Suns, led by two-time (gonna be three-time) MVP Steve Nash and "The Matrix" Shawn Marion, will find themselves NBA Champions sometime in June.
The Atlanta Braves have bulked up the bullpen with Rafael Soriano, Tanyon Sturtze, resigning "Big" Bob Wickman, and letting Chris Reitsma walk away (Thank Goodness). Mike Hampton will make his return and Smoltzie and Hudson are back and ready to take the team back to the promised land. The Jones Boys will be swinging for the fences with Franceour and McCann. BRAVES WIN, BRAVES WIN, BRAVES WIN. Can't wait to here that again at the end of October.
2006 was a little rough, but 2007 will be smooth sailing for my sport's year.
