I remember a couple years ago at the same intersection after an LSU v UGA baseball game, I saw a group of Tigers fans. I was wearing a UGA rugby uniform as we'd just had a match too, but gave them a Go Tigers anyway.

They were confused as hell for a second, but gave it back :lol:

This is exactly how it's going to happen: Corso will go on about how great Gurley is and how well Murray is playing. He will go on about how great it is to be in Athens and all that jazz. Then he will say, "but! The Bulldogs let me down last time I picked them..." And he'll pull out the Tiger head. Then he may have a stroke...

Just saw two older gentleman in LSU shirts walking down broad. Wonder if that was you then...

To be fair, the article had a lot of discrepancies. For starters we do not have 18,000 student seats reserved. That is simply wrong. It's closer to 16,000, so I'm wary of trusting anything the writer says if they can't get something that simple correct. Second, the photo they used for the story is a cropped photo of our overflow student section. The crowd was pretty good for a rainy day against a rent-a-win. Third, I never got the impression that she conducted some extensive survey to discover that a lot of students don't go to games because of cell-phone service. As far as the article tells us she asked one student. I'm not trying to say that attendance isn't down, and that we don't need to seek some sort of solution; but I would suggest that the problem is not as bad as some of you would like to think.

Response rap was definitely way better. In our defense, we made another one for Bama last year that was at least a lot catchier.

Ha, I would have no problem saying that as I love LSU just as much as UGA. What I'm saying is that you were wrong.

Fair enough. I don't do it often. Thanks for the tip.

You should leave 8:00 AM, 9:00 at the latest. I'm a student at UGA, my family came up for the SCar game around 10:00 am and had no problems, but you might as well enjoy as much of the day as you can. As a side note, if you live north of Atlanta closer to Duluth, I find that it is often faster on game days if you take 85 to Jefferson (exit 137) and come to over that way instead of dealing with 316. Really depends though.

There is UGA parking for $20 close-ish to the stadium in North Deck (right off broad on Jackson Street) or Carlton Street Deck by the the Stegeman basketball stadium. There is free parking (as I recall) at the IM fields, which will be closest to you if you come in off 316. This will require you to take a shuttle, however, if you don't feel like walking a mile or so. It will be tough to get out of town quickly wherever you park.

For lunch: Everywhere downtown will be crowded, so I would probably try to get to lunch by 11:30 or 12:00 at the latest. The good thing about Athens, however, is that there is no shortage of restaurants. The two major downtown streets (for restaurants anyway) are Broad and Clayton and you'll find all kinds of stuff (and all kinds of prices) along there. Fuzzy's is a personal favorite of mine, its a Tex-Mex type of thing, but very cool spot.

I hope that helps.
