Zoller and Bryant: State of the University, Chip Rogers and the GPB, HOPE Scholarship and John Barge, Har-Bowl 

We carried the State of the University Address on WGAU yesterday and we'll update what Mike Adams had to say. What will the Mike Adams legacy be? http://onlineathens.com/uga/2013-01-24/control-athletics-adams-says-final-state-university-speech

Then, what's with all the hoopla about Chip Rogers and GPB. Former State Senator Chip Rogers has been quiet on this but there's a petition to get him out. My sources tell me Rogers has been asked to stay quiet and he is, but the firestorm is not quiet. A scathing letter from a resigning employee puts an unfavorable light on the whole thing. http://www.bizjournals.com/atlanta/morning_call/2013/01/gpb-producer-quits-over-hiring-of-chip.html What do you think?

And there was a seismic shift in the Department of Education with the budget. I support the changes and its wasn't payback for Barge not supporting Charter Schools. As conservatives, we've been telling electeds to cut spending at administrative levels for years. I've been demanding it in the Department of ED since the Schrenko days. What to you think? http://blogs.ajc.com/political-insider-jim-galloway/2013/01/23/a-woodshed-season-for-john-barge/

Har Bowl hijinks. A regular guy anticipated the Harbaugh brothers match up and trademarked the name "Har-Bowl." The NFL threw it's weight around and got the guy to back down. I think he should "rise up," and fight.
