UGA Football
Heather and I went to see UGA vs Louisiana-Monroe yesterday in Athens. It was fantastic to be back on campus, amidst the fun of the game day atmosphere.
We bought our tickets online on GeorgiaDogs.com last week when a few became available. This was somewhat of a mistake. We were seated in the 600 section, the huge addition that was completed in 2003 (login).
The Teeming Masses
These truly are the nosebleed seats, reaching up to the sky higher than I’ve ever been in a football stadium. The scalpers were probably selling seats closer than ours, for a better price, but I guess that’s the price we pay for wanting to have tickets ahead of time.
The experience was exactly how I remembered it… Sitting around in the sun drinking beer out of a can, people dropping food on the ground and just laughing and eating it…. The long trek to the stadium and the absolute herds of people trying to get in the gates.
There were some Christian protesters out on Sanford Drive trying to get me to put down the Miller Lite and pick up a bible.
The game was a great rout, as expected, and today my legs are a little sore from all the walking, standing, etc.
