Georgia football encourages fans to wear pink in honor of wife of Arkansas State coach Blake Anderson
Prior to the start of the 2019 season, Arkansas State coach Blake Anderson's wife Wendy passed away at the age of 49. She had been battling breast cancer for over two years before passing away on Aug. 19. Georgia now plays Arkansas State this week and some in the Georgia community wanted to honor Wendy Anderson. On

Would be willing to bet over 80% of fans at the game will will honor this ladies life and the struggles she faced by wearing pink in some form. It’s just who we are as fans! Condolences to Coach Blake Anderson for your loss. Go Dawgs!
I hope there's a pink-out this weekend.
You have the love, and support from the DAWGNation, Coach Anderson! Continued prayers for you, and your family's healing during this tough time.
Wearing pink is a nice gesture, but if you want to really make a difference, donate to research and organizations that are working to help cancer patients with their fight!
I think that is a nice gesture, but as @HerschelsDailySoup pointed out in a previous post, an even better effort would be to donate to research or organizations fighting cancer. I'm not necessarily saying that individuals need to do that Saturday instead of wearing pink, but I certainly think @georgiabulldogs can afford to make a donation, perhaps a portion of Saturday's ticket sales. Now THAT would make a real statement beyond the aesthetics of a stadium full of people wearing pink. Go Dawgs!
Nailed it. 👆🏻 It is a nice gesture and I’m sure it means a lot to the coach. But I have never gotten the whole “awareness” movement of things. I’m more of a “do something” person. You make a great point. Prayers for coach and his family.
It's pretty obvious that Dawg fans are second to none! Instead of seeing that beautiful sea of red in Sanford this Saturday, let's see a beautiful sea of pink!
Coach Anderson, may care and love of those around you provide comfort and peace to get you through the days ahead. My most sincere condolences.
