Gameday in Athens - UGA vs University of Tennessee at Martin

Growing up in Athens it was a joy to listen to Larry Munson announce the Georgia games. He was brilliant and his words live on today. This quote is located in the Tate Center on UGA's campus and is part of the opening montage at the stadium. 

The campus at UGA is beautiful this time of year. Many things are in bloom including the Crape Myrtle. 

Tailgating on the lawn in front of Memorial Hall. Dawg fans know how to do it right!!

The University of Tennessee at Martin players. This photo was taken right before the game started. The UT-Martin players and coaches are a class act. It was an honor to meet them. We wish them a lot of success in the rest of their season.

This was my view from the sidelines. A once in the lifetime opportunity. 

And the  highlight of the game for me was meeting Boom, Uga XI. I have always wanted to meet Uga.
