    @AnotherDawg "politely escorted to the door" - reminds me of Ron White's comedy sketch about getting thrown out of a bar in NYC. Then the police arrest him for being "Drunk in Public" and he replies, "No officer, I was drunk in a bar until those guys THREW ME INTO PUBLIC, why don't you arrest THEM?!"

    Attending the game against the barn in 1983 after moving to Atlanta from Texas. It was my first UGA game, and although I had attended SMU games at the Cotton Bowl and Texas Stadium, UT games in Austin, A&M games in College Station, and played at SFA, experiencing 80k plus chanting "Go Dawgs, Sic 'Em" and then BARKING after the ball was kicked absolutely mesmerized me! I looked around the crowd, and realized that although the diversity of the attending UGA fans outside of Sanford Stadium was tremendous, for that 3 hour stretch, all of them were coming together for a common cause. It epitomized to me on that day, and ever since, what I feel is (for a fan) the best part of college football, and made me a Dawg 'til I die! Go Dawgs!

    No it an alum. My sister is ('93). Grew up just south of Athens. Wanted to play basketball. Hugh offered a PWO. I chose to play elsewhere. Still a huge fan, always will be.

    “I check Commit to the G at stoplights” gets my vote for quote of the month!

    Thank you for your service. The first game I ever remember watching was the 1979 Bluebonnet Bowl. The next year Herschel came along. Going to UGA wasn’t a huge priority for me, but I wound up there. Great times, but my biggest regret in life was not enlisting after college. You did well! If I still went to games I’d send you some tickets.

    I still remember just how excited I was in the days leading up to attending my first ever Georgia football game (at the tender young age of only seven) with my late father. My Daddy was what lead me to fall in love with Georgia football. On that day, I did not really understanding the game fully.... and we all watched (Everyone in Stanford) our beloved Georgia Bulldogs DESTROY Clemson 38-0!!!! That memory was nowadays almost 50 years ago (it will be 50 years this coming September) and I can still remember the thrill of that day like it only happened just last week. GO DAWGS!!! PS - A HUGE thank you to my Daddy in Heaven for my lifetime of loving Georgia!!!!

    My name is Jake because my dad said that the name my mom came up with for me didn’t sound like the QB for the Georgia Bulldogs. 110% true story so I was literally born and raised a dawg fan.
