Jeff Schultz is having a contest to be included on his blogroll. In honor of Schultz, and since imitation is flattery, here’s a Top 5 Countdown for why the Jolly Good Fellows (JGF) should be included.

5.  The JGF likes the name Jeff Schultz, sounds a lot like John Smoltz, and both are easily persuaded by $$$.  But Smoltz is actually cool. What was I talking about? Oh yeah, we would love to be linked to Smoltz, err Schultz.

4.We passed around a cash-bribe envelope in mom’s basement (aka: headquarters), but all we’ve gotten so far is a McDonald’s monopoly piece, a Slope’s BBQ card that only needs 2 more punches for a free sandwich, and the pre-paid phone card Bobby’s mom gave him.   Plus – if Jeff Schultz rolls us, we would gladly pay a bribe with some Jolly Good Brew.  (yes, we brew our own tailgate beer)

3. The JGF is on its way to becoming the Georgia Tech Fan blog of choice while Schultz is stuck writing for a newspaper, something we thought was made obsolete around the same time the mix-tape went out of style.  Kids, here’s a link to the Wikipedia article on newspapers just in case you don’t know what we’re talking about.  A link to our site would do wonders for launching Jeff into the 21st century, where people only buy newspapers when they are trying to house-train their pets.  And maybe next time you google “Jeff Schultz” the sports writer will come in above the Alaskan pet photographer.

2. The JGF offers you protection (sort of like Pedro did for Napoleon).  We are about all things Georgia Tech football, and while we know that you still must take shots at our beloved Engineers, we will only return fire with 1/10th the retribution such comments deserve.  A spot on the blogroll secures Jeff’s safety.

1. Finally, having at least one Georgia Tech presence on the blogroll will ensure at least some intelligent readers will make their way to Jeff Schultz’s corner of cyberspace.  And we all know that Al Gore didn’t invent the internet, Paul Johnson did.

So there you have it, a fortunate association with John Smoltz, a bribe of brew, your own safety, assistance in joining the 21st century, and an intelligent readership.  Time for you to cast your vote, Mr. Schultz, and join forces with the Jolly Good Fellows.
