I guess there is something to global warming. Everywhere we were able to pick up channels it seemed to always be snowing 😁sarc/. We always got Macon and Albany pretty much all the time. Columbus was possible at times. I watched the Fred Ward promoted wrestling on Saturday afternoons. Sometimes we could get a channel out of Florida that had wrestling on Saturday afternoons. Waycross gpb was clear but not what I wanted to watch. I wanted sports and westerns. Now, with satellite dish service everything is so much simpler.
Marion, AR
Born and raised in Lowndes County, GA (not Valdosta!). Played ball as a kid against Belue and Lastinger. Got my undergrad in engineering from GT, but been a dawg my whole life.
Lived all over the world and found my forever spot at Vilano Beach, FL. Our little slice of heaven!

Haha grew up buying all GM and now drive a Toyota, but I am inspired by Henry Ford's ingenuity. He did a lot of amazing things for this town, especially for the time.
I think we were in W. Cola at the time, born at the first Baptist hospital in Lexington. I still have family in Irmo, Lex, W. Cola, and Cayce.
I attended Lakeside HS for almost 2 years. My father still lives off Evans to Locks Rd. Living in Augusta some at a young age was when I started becoming a Dawg fan. In Columbia, I was 1 of very few repping the G.. I grew to love them even more! I often reminisce being young and evenings downtown 706 at the River Walk. Good memories! Small world! Glad you opened this @texdawg .
I was born in Omaha. My mom is from southwest Iowa and my dad is from Carrollton. He moved to Iowa with my Grandpa to open a new D&L plant(my grandpa ran the one in Carrollton) and met my mom. We moved back to Carrollton when I was young and lived there for years. **** happened and I ended up back in Iowa in 3rd grade. Just moved back to Iowa from New Mexico, lived there and southeast Texas for **** near 20 years.
Born in Nashville TN, Moved to Decatur, GA went to TEK Kindergarten then Flat Shoals Elementary, moved to FL and live just south of Jacksonville.

UV for the "I MISS TEXAS". I left 50 years ago (although I've been back many times) and I still miss it.
Suprised no one has mentioned Woodstock/Canton!
Living in Turkey 🇹🇷 since 2014 (hence the TurkDawg name). Lived in Kazakhstan 🇰🇿 from 2006-14. Born in downtown Atlanta and went to UGA 1982-86.
Favorite Dawg memory while living overseas was watching the 2008 Sugar Bowl game against Hawaii live on local cable channel AlmaTV, with Russian language commentators. Our time zone was 11 hours ahead of EST so we got up at 7:30am Jan 2 to watch the game with friends.
We sent a letter to Mark Richt with a photo of us gathered around the TV. CMR, always a class act, answered our letter promptly on UGA football stationery!
Go Dawgs!
Awesome story
Napa, Calif
Thanks for recruiting Bowers. Your commitment has paid off.
Savannah Ga . Born and raised. Never left . 62 years
Here's the aforementioned Sugar Bowl 2008 pic sent to Coach Mark Richt from Kazakhstan - note the camera self-timer happened to catch a dejected Hawaii QB Colt Brennan on the TV screen.
Awesome pic!
All those happy dawg fans!
