It's The Most Wonderful Time Of Year...
While most people would think of that title as something related to Christmas time….to anyone who has ever been a member of the Marching Southerners would have to agree — this time of year is the beginning of the most wonderful time of year and of our lives.
It’s hard to believe that 23 years ago, I packed up everything I owned in my 1983 Buick Skylark and headed to...

New Dawn For Volleyball!
It’s been a pretty well known fact that Jacksonville State’s Volleyball program has been on fire in recent years! Fantastic finishes in OVC Championships and NCAA Tournament appearances to their credit — they resignate our cheer that “It is GREAT to be a Jax State Gamecock!”
Apparently even Auburn has been watching the JSU Volleyball program as this summer they...

This week we had out Grand Opening Celebration — complete with Ribbon Cutting!
As I have said before, this has been a 20 year dream and there has been so many amazing “firsts” along this path — the first design, first shirt printed, first sale, first time we walked into what is now our shop, first pieces of the wood floor put down, first day of “move in”, the...

Yes, Sir! We're OPEN!!
I’m so sorry for the delay! It seems like forever since I’ve been able to blog about the store! However, we’ve been renovating our new physical location and between it and our “sneak” campaign — we’ve either had to keep quiet or have been so physically exhausted our fingers couldn’t move!
We decided to “sneak” our way into...

2009 Great Beginnings -- 2010 Continued Firsts!
At the end of most years, most people are ready to be done with the year and move onto new beginnings. With all that has happened in the world with the recession, I really can’t blame anyone for those feelings. However, I must admit that while I’m really excited about 2010, I have to say that 2009 was filled with great beginnings for Get Cocky!
As I have already talked about in...

On this Christmas Day...
There were sheepherders camping in the neighborhood. They had set night watches over their sheep. Suddenly, God’s angel stood among them and God’s glory blazed around them. They were terrified. The angel said, “Don’t be afraid. I’m here to announce a great and joyful event that is meant for everybody, worldwide: A Savior has just been born in David’s town, a...

Something Simple Even YOU Can Do
This weekend three of us headed down to Atlanta First United Methodist Church in downtown Atlanta to volunteer with the Midtown Assistance Center or MAC for short. MAC services low income individuals in the community and is sponsored by many of the downtown churches.
MAC offers a food pantry and clothes closet as well as other services to assist these individuals.
With the holidays in full...

Let's hear from you!!!
Since we started our web-store and our Facebook and Twitter pages, we keep hearing (ok, reading) from JSU Students who say that there is nothing to do in J’ville or that they wish there were other opportunities or stores in J’ville….
So let’s hear from you! What is it that you wish there WAS to do in or what kind of services do you wish were available to you in...

Go Pirates!!??!!
Just a quick blurb as this game gets going but I want to give a huge “GO Pirates!” to the football team of East Carolina!
Linebacker (#49) Jeremy Chambliss in his Senior Season has not only had a great year but is my next door neighbor’s son.
I moved in when Jeremy was 11 years old…this little scrawny boy who has developed into a HUGE young man with a wonderful heart! ...

South Atlanta JSU Alumni
Last night I had the privilege of being apart of the first meeting of the South Atlanta JSU Alumni. I have lived in south Atlanta 11 years (ok, THIS time, I’ve only lived here 6 other times before in my life—army brat, you understand). Most of the Atlanta Alumni meetings I have attended, have resulted in road rage along the way to get to the meeting normally held in North Atlanta.

Final Thoughts Of Ryan Perrilloux
With the unfortunate short ending to JSU’s incredible season this year, I must say a few words about our senior quarterback, Ryan Perrilloux.
Ryan was the quarterback for my beloved LSU Tigers where I worked for many years. I had heard the rumblings about him from former co-workers and even the comparision of his off the field antics to those of Kevin Faulk, who was a student while I...

New Beginnings...
Welcome to our new blog! It feels like a whole new world full of new beginnings around here and the excitement is sometimes almost like Christmas for a little kid.
I guess the best place to start this blog is to tell you a little about Get Cocky!
When I was a student (and Marching Southerner) at Jacksonville State University (that’s Alabama not Florida for those of you who are just...
