Gameday.
What can you say about gameday that it doesn't already express in itself. The excitement that goes along with the mere mention of the word or something related strikes deep within the souls of football fans. If I do say so myself, I think UGA spits out a crowd of drunk obnoxious georgia fans that any university would be proud to claim.
The benefit of UGA and what it facilitates in tailgating trumps many other schools since our stadium is on campus and holds over 92,000 people. For myself, my home is a short ten minute walk to the gate. This only means that it is my duty as a student and Athens resident to open up my home in the early morning hours for recreation and fellowship.
Our weekend began when the alumni crowd showing up and who kept me out until the wee small hours of the night. As we picked up our Little Italy pizza after bars closed, we head home with the anticipation of what is coming the next morning... reminds me of the feeling of Christmas Eve night, ha!
The 8 am alarm sounds and within the next few hours, we picked up breakfast and keg. We shower and put on our spirit wear. Our tent is up and cornhole out. The fold out chairs line the pine aisle next to the various dips and baked goods which covered the red and black table cloths and the beer-stained flip-cup-table took center stage. Sallie says, "If that doesn't scream Georgia Football, I don't know what does".
The ending of a perfect tailgating day, however, is the perfect ending to the football game. Way to go Dawgs! UGA beat USC 41-37
