Before football, tennis anyone?

We are four weeks away from college football getting cranked up.
That doesn’t mean there’s not any sports for a Georgia fan to watch on TV today.
Former Georgia All-American John Isner faces Andy Roddick in the Legg Mason Tennis Classic semifinals tonight.
The rematch of the 2007 finals of the event in Washington D.C., is on ESPN2 at 7 p.m. Roddick won in straight sets two years ago.
I’m heading over to Butts-Mehre for practice in a while, but when I get home I’ll grab some dinner and tune in.
My interest is more than just to see Isner. It’s the tournament.
I grew up in the area, braving the humidity many a summer to see the likes of Roddick, Agassi, Michael Chang, Petrr Korda and--I’m really dating myself here-- even Jimmy Connors and Ivan Lendl.
Even Roddick is thinking football.
