Let’s be thankful for dads who raised us as Dawgs fans!
As I noted a few months ago, Dawgs fandom tends to be a family thing, handed down from generation to generation, and a lot of us owe our initial UGA exposure to our fathers.

Thank you Bill for the great article!
I’m Mike Woods JR. My dad is the late Mike “Big DAWG” Woods. My brother Trent “Big DAWG 3” and I truly can’t get enough of UGA. I believe my dad may have poisoned us in a good way! My son, Hampton, is a sophomore and in the UGA paint line. He’s standing behind my brother on my profile pic. He will be “ Big DAWG 4” once he completes his training and brainwashing which we hope will be many, many years from now! UGA is truly a special place full of wonderful people. Lord please help us get back in that stadium come this fall!
GOOOOO DAWGS!
My dad never went to college, but he made sure I had tuition money to go to UGa. I had the pleasure of being there for the Junkyard Dawgs and was in grad school there when Herschel did his thing.
One of my sons made it into UGa. The other went elsewhere. I took both of them to a few football games and we spent some weekends in the Continuing Ed hotel, watching the baseball team (a weekend of Dawg baseball, including the hotel and food, cost almost exactly what tickets for similar seats , parking and ballpark food for one game would have cost), very fond memories. The UGa grad knows more about the Dawgs and SEC football than I thought possible and is a big fan. The other still follows the Dawgs, even though he went to school elsewhere.
Go Dawgs.
