Most of the local restaurants and stores will be closed today so that people can either go to or watch the Georgia-Florida game. Standing in line last night to get into the Georgia Theatre for the awesome Folk show Todd Snider brought to Athens, I overhead a couple from Atlanta comment about how dead Athens was on a Friday night. They were unaware of how many people make the trip to Jacksonville to drink and watch the DAWGS play ball. The couple were even more amazed to hear about the one day "fall break" that the university started several years ago to legitimize the faculty's practice of cancelling classes on the Friday before the game. Just another thing that makes Athens the unique city it is.
Go Dawgs!
