David Perno to appear on Zone Sports Saturday

I thought I'd throw out a WAY early teaser, but be sure to keep your radio/internet locked to Sports Radio 790 The Zone this Saturday from 2:30-5 pm as 2008 SEC Coach of the Year David Perno of the University of Georgia Diamond Dogs will call in for an interview. I was able to get a commitment from Perno for around 4:10 p.m. and we will preview the 2009 season and discuss the magical run for the 2008 Dawgs, when they came within just one game of the CWS championship.
Over his 7 year head coaching career, Perno has run up a 251-184 record with three trips to the CWS in the last five years. He has two SEC Titles and four postseason appearances all together, and he was named 2004 Baseball America Coach of the Year. This season he will look to replace two First Round draft picks and we will discuss who will step up for Gordon Beckham and Joshua Fields.

We are still trying to get Georgia Tech head baseball coach Danny Hall on as well. I have talked to two of Tech's people, but we are still trying to nail down a time. Be sure to check back for more scheduling news.

The Score Atlanta Sunday Scoreboard show will also likely welcome in Jermaine Wiggins for our Super Bowl Coverage. Wiggins is a former Bulldog who won a Super Bowl with the Patriots in the 2001-02 season and suited up for the 2003-04 NFC Champion Panthers. Catch that ALSO on 790 The Zone this Sunday from 1-4.

+++++++As of 5:42 on Monday night, GT baseball coach Danny Hall has agreed to appear on the show as well. We hope to call Coach Hall around 3:40 or 3:51. Should be a great show! Be sure to tune in!
