So........just who is this Mary McElroy???
A black female.......
And why is she worthy of a post....on 5 on Five?
We give you her highlights..........
McElroy is known for successfully launching a football program at Georgia State, to begin play in 2010. Along with the new program will also be women's lacrosse. McElroy also hired Rod Barnes in March 2007 to rebuild Georgia State basketball.
In 2006, the National Association of Collegiate Women Athletic Administrators (NACWAA) named McElroy as the NCAA Division I-AAA Administrator of the Year. In 2008, she was recognized by the Black Coaches and Administrators (BCA) for advancing sports and athletes in the Atlanta area.
McElroy's athletic management career began in 1992 at the Naval Academy, where she worked her way up to Assistant Athletic Director, Director of Alumni Services and Senior Woman Administrator. Before joining Georgia State, McElroy spent time working at Georgia Tech. After first serving as Director of Compliance, she left Georgia Tech as Senior Associate Director of Athletics and Senior Woman Administrator.
And after all of this.......she was fired.....by Georgia State...

A legal battle ensued .........of course..........evidentially dropped.
And Mary has been hired by Southern Methodist University (SMU).....

We applaud Mrs. McElroy for standing tall in an industry controlled mostly by old white men. Georgia State's loss will be SMU's gain.

Don't know who was more impressive, the Georgia Dome....or Georgia State?
I had the privilege to attend a graduation at the Georgia Dome for the commencement ceremonies for Georgia State University. I was indeed impressed. GSU put on a show. But I was equally impressed with the Georgia Dome staff for presenting an atmosphere of .....just....GSU. Everything was blue and white. If one didn't know any better.......you would have sworn this was Georgia States' home stadium. The Dome can make an event look bigger than life .....but yet create the intimacy of a small college atmosphere. And the keynote speaker? None other than .........the great Reverend Andrew Young........former mayor of Atlanta......former congressman..........former Ambassador ........His speech was short.......yet inspiring......Georgia Dome? GSU? You done good!
Family..........is .....still Gods' greatest gift..
Did I mention my niece got her masters at that ceremony? Yes indeed.....and she is 9 months pregnant. And her water broke at the end of the graduation. Well........it was a false alarm.....We had dinner reservations for 5:30 pm.........but her doctors had to make sure..........so we ended up dining at 9 pm......but it was well worth the wait. The family stood tall . You know, there is only one. One as in ........family.......And just seeing her wobble in and sit...........and eat.......and be happy.......was........well ........priceless.
Will the Braves ever win again........on the road?
We have just dissected the NBA. The Braves are 14-4 at home.......yet 4-14 on the road. Why? This is easier to dissect than the NBA.....The Braves suck........In baseball, the home team always has the final inning. With no hitting, no pitching...........no wonder the Braves suffer on the road. Thank goodness.....there are 81 home..........and 81 away...........win 70% at home..........and 50% away..........and you are in the play-offs. I will save my anger toward these Braves........for another post.
It's good to be a Bulldog......A Georgia Bulldog
Georgia has just won it's 6th SEC baseball championship. It's football team is going to be ranked in the top 5 come September...........The gymnastics team won it's 9th national championship...........the womens' softball team is hosting a super regional........In this southern college town..........they live and breath ...........red and black...........Mostly...........it's football red and football black..........but.........it's also about just being........a dawg..........and that's .....a good thing.
