Anderson is nice! I work in Bluffton and Hilton Head area. Waving proud Dawg flags down here in Beaufort, SC. I get the privilege of having quite a few Dawg fans here as we are close neighbors to beautiful Savannah, GA. Those clemp fans up there by you @AndersonDawg are probably nice and quiet this year!
We like Anderson. Just the right size and live on a nice golf course. Both granddaughters go to May River HS in Bluffton.
I've wondered about the name!
Born in Columbia, SC , then we moved all over the South for my dad's job [Memphis, Jacksonville, Charlotte] before finally landing in a small town called Richmond Hill, just outside of Savannah when I was 7.
I became a Dawg fan because Georgia is home and all my friends were Georgia fans growing up in the late 90's/2000's.
About to move down to the Tampa Bay area with my fiancé in the coming months.
Born in Royston Ga. Home of Tyrus Raymond Cobb. Moved 13 miles south to Danielsville Ga. The move did put me closer to Athens.😊
Currently in the nation’s capital
Same for my parents. Dad was a Red devil and mom went to Central.
Ah. Central High. When I was coaching at UWG, it was the only high school track I'd ever seen (and it's still true to this day) that had a hill in it. Right around the 300m mark, the track elevated a few feet.
Lol. Surprised they never fixed that. Think we won the track state championship one of the years I was there but I know we had a few individual state champs. That whole track was lopsided though.
It amazes me how far away that we have Dawg fans. Seems to be a worldwide fan base. A lot of them are former residents that maybe jobs or other things have carried them to other parts. Some of them are folks that became Dawg fans from watching them on tv or other ways. We are all one big happy fan base though with one thing in common. We love our Dawgs! I remember watching the Vince Dooley show as a kid growing up. It aired on Sunday mornings if I recall correctly. There was the Sunday sermons by the preachers and then the next religion for the Dawg fans. We could only watch about three channels on tv because we lived so far away from the stations. Maneuvering the outside antenna required two people. One on the inside and one on the outside actually turning the antenna by hand. The one on the inside would tell the one turning the antenna when the picture was the clearest. It was always worth the effort though.
All roads do lead to Athens GA!
Great topic!
Go Dawgs!
We had 2,5,11, and then 17. After a while we got 36 and 46. Where I was if you turned the antenna just right you could pick up the Columbus stations as well as Atlanta (but never both at the same time).
As far as Dawg fans, I was in Melbourne Australia in 01 and ran into fans of UGA there as well as alumni. With the rise of the internet, the world has become a much smaller place. Never would have known about the hobnail boot until I returned if I hadn't ran into a Dawg fan back then. And it is quite a sight 10000 miles from home and you see the power G on a shirt or a hat.
Born in Africa. Lived in Norcross and Atlanta mostly.
Currently in Houston, TX.
Go Dawgs!!
Pleasantville, NY. folks live in Wilkes county GA
In 2012 I was back and forth to Cairo and during that summer I exchanged a How bout them Dawgs, in Cairo, Alexandria and Frankfurt GR. In 2015 I did the same in San Jose and Porto Jimenez CR. In 2019 I managed the same in Florence, Corona and a small coastal Italian village I have forgotten the name of. I don't travel a lot but I seem to find the good guys wherever. When you think about it, it's just a great big beautiful Bull Dawg world.
