Bulldogs of the Fourth Estate: Jim Minter

Bulldawg Illustrated continues its new series, featuring long-time UGA personalities of the Fourth Estate. There are many who are published authors along with network television superstars. Our fourth installment spotlights Jim Minter, who is an under appreciated marvel with the pen that has the distinction of training some of the best writers in our state.

One of the best writer-editor’s in this state has never been adequately recognized for his work, which is a shame. An unadulterated shame.

A nonagenarian living peacefully on a small farm in Fayetteville, Jim Minter is best known for his prose on the sports beat, but if you ever read his weekly down-home column in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution a few years back, you would have found it both informative and delightfully entertaining.
