Saturdays in Athens.

We are UGA season ticket holders and so in the fall we find ourselves among the hedges of Sanford Stadium with 92,000 other people cheering on the Dawgs.  I have always in enjoyed college football but I've really come to relish our Saturdays in Athens because it means quality time with Andy. Eventually, we plan to add on to the number of seats we have but at the moment we just have two. The Dawgs are off to a great start this season and are sitting at 4-0 heading in to the bulk of their conference schedule. Anyways, here is what we did this past Saturday...after dinner at the Varsity we headed to the intramural fields to park. From there we took the bus to Sanford. We were early enough that we wondered down to the field and walked along the hedges. Andy wanted to go see the mausoleum that is tucked in to a corner of the stadium. When the current Uga dies he is laid to rest here: 

We picked up some pom-poms for the game and to give to the kids when we got home. They have them out for the fans to grab on the hedges before the game. We then wondered up towards our seats. We picked up some surprises for the kids. (Foam Bulldawg Paw and eyeblack with super Gs for AG. A bulldawg purse for Avi-Kate. Then we made our way up to our seats to get ready for the game. Our seats are high but we actually really like them because they offer a perfect view. We can see everything on the field from our seats plus we have a perfect view of the scoreboard and the bridge next to the stadium. Ready for the game:

The team was pumped up and ready to dominate. And dominate they did...48-3!

We got a laugh out of this sign that made it's rounds in the student sections...it said 'Free Rambo'. Bacarri Rambo plays defense and has been serving a 4-game suspension. He should be back this next week and the defense will look even better.  

The Redcoats did a Foo Fighters medley this week for half time. 

We left towards the end of the fourth quarter because Andy wanted to catch the end of the Clemson/FSU game on XM as we were driving since it was close till right at the end. It was a great night, the stadium was packed, and the Dawgs played really well. We are very optimistic about the rest of the season. Whatever happens we love spending our Saturdays in Athens.
