This is how you market to women.
Pink, bedazzled jerseys aren’t the answer.
Thoughtful brand messaging that appeals & embraces all types of consumers is. Well done,
@Braves
.
a friend just posted that they bought their forever home.
i just put a cooler next to my bed w/ drinks & snacks so I didn’t have to keep getting up.
a different kind of vision but a vision nonetheless
this month in sports:
• a woman became the first MLB GM
• a woman became the first to play in a major conference football game

Friends on Facebook:
I paid off my student loans!
We’re engaged!
My 3-year-old speaks 5 languages!
Me:
Today I used a tortilla to wipe queso off my face instead of a napkin
friends: wanna do something?
me: I can’t I’m practicing for football season
friends: meaning...?
me: I can’t leave my house & I’m only talking to people on Twitter
fellow UGA alum:
do you want to watch the Auburn game together?
me:
oh I’m not allowed to watch Georgia games in front of anyone. Apparently my behavior is “too chaotic” and “frightening”
this may not be the time but
I’d like to take this time to thank LSU for destroying all top teams equally so I don’t feel as bad about Georgia in the SEC Championship
my family has repeatedly asked me to leave sports because of the rampant sexual harassment & disregard for women.
women shouldn’t have to change their careers in order to feel safe.
it shouldn’t be our burden to carry.
yet it is.
I’m going to start tweeting how recruits tweet but with food.
Blessed to receive an offer to eat tacos
I am de-committing from pizza and re-opening my dinner options, no interviews please
I know we play Bama next week & have more games to win
but I wasn’t alive the last time UGA went undefeated in the regular season
so I’m gonna enjoy it
if the Saints AND the Pats come to ATL, why stop there? we might as well invite everyone we dislike:
• the Nationals
• people that insist on calling it Hotlanta
• the entire state of Alabama
• anyone who doesn’t like sweet tea
last week my position was eliminated because of the pandemic.
I strongly believe everything happens for a reason.
sometimes life makes your decisions for you & puts you where you’re meant to be.
open to any opportunities, both in & out of sports.
Setting: ATL
2017: Hummer drives around w/ a TV playing UGA winning the SEC
2018: Same but w/ the Rose Bowl
2019: Truck driving around playing Georgia State beating Tennessee.
You could try to tell me there’s a better city than Atlanta.
You would be wrong but you could try.
4 years ago I was sitting in a journalism class & listening to people in the sports industry talk about how they got to where they are in their career.
Today I was the person speaking to my former professor’s class.
Full circle feels good.
me: I’m not gonna get my hopes up
also me:
a Waffle House, it’s a sign
the mailman, it’s a sign
a dog barked, it’s a sign
I barked, it’s a sign

If you’re a woman & you’ve played sports, worked in sports or both, chances are you’ve been called every adjective in this video.
Dramatic. Unhinged. Hysterical. Crazy.
Call us whatever you want but we aren’t going anywhere.
I’m reminded of the last time Gameday was in Athens.
An ESPN producer texted me & said they saw a UGA student running across the quad with a box of wine on each shoulder at 5am.
That’s my Athens. Make us proud.
my dog was recently diagnosed with cancer.
I didn’t tell many people bc I know how hard this year has been.
my gym knew I was laid off & they all chipped in to help me pay for it.
I say this to remind you that the world is filled with good people. Keep your faith in humanity.
When I was a bartender I swore to myself that one day I would have a career I loved.
These last 2 weeks I was on the road for 3 championships for work
& realized I came through on the promise I made to myself.
Nowhere near being done yet but proud of the progress.
[Setting: My cousin’s wedding in Oklahoma]
Best man (Aggie) speech: And he loves Michelle even though she’s a Sooner
Everyone: BOOMER!
Me: THE DAWGS BEAT Y’ALL IN THE ROSE BOWL!
Bridesmaids: Dammit Alyssa, not now
Jake Fromm threw an INT.
Rodrigo has a blocked FG.
Georgia is losing to South Carolina.
Tennessee is winning. At football.
It’s the end of the world, isn’t it?
Me: Are you rooting for a specific team?
Uber driver: Are you from Alabama?
Me: No
Uber driver: Then GO DAWGS
I have missed you so much ATL.

So Facebook memories are usually useless.
HOWEVER
Today it reminded me that 4 years ago after
@TG3II
was suspended, Georgia fans held a candlelight vigil outside Sanford stadium.
I miss UGA.
They’re really gonna schedule The Masters the same week as Tennessee vs Georgia & expect Georgians to survive?
why not hold an OutKast concert at a Waffle House while we’re at it
Georgia beat Notre Dame.
Braves are back-to-back NL East Champs.
And I just bought a new bag of pizza rolls.
The air is pretty thin up here at the top.
I dated a Bama fan but I wanted to be the mature one & do the right thing
I texted him the final score graphic & blocked him before he could respond
#GoDawgs
I just got invited to a wedding & the first thing he said was:
“Georgia isn’t playing so you can come.”
And yes, I have missed weddings because Georgia was playing.
Respect football.
I’m looking at mini fridges so I can store my Uncrustables next to my bed so I don’t have to keep walking to the kitchen (15 ft)
& that might be the saddest sentence I have ever written
2020:
• Georgia wins a NY6 bowl
• 5 ⭐️ recruit commits to UGA
• A special teams trick play actually worked in our favor
my brain (which definitely knows better):
...could this...be...our year...?
