GEORGIA football is...
a year round obsession with the Dawgs,
parking Friday at 4:30 and saving spaces or getting up earlier than you
do during the week just to get that tailgating spot,
it's standing on "The Bus", Loud Music, Red Cars and Georgia Tags.
It's seeing your best friends pull into the parking lot,
catching up with all your Bulldog buddies and tailgating, tailgating, tailgating.
It's Champagne after a win and just the right red and black clothes and shoes.
It's leaving Tuesday for Jacksonville and getting chills in 95-degree F weather
when the team takes the field.
It's G Day and Picture Day and Signing Day and Bulldog Club meetings and getting
into practice.
GEORGIA football is the players:
Herschel, Hines,
Henderson and Worley,
Belue to Lindsay Scott,
Zeier to Hastings;
It's Tate, Garrison,
Edwards and Hampton.
Greene to Johnson
and David Pollack.
It's Ben Smith, Chuck Carswell, Olandis, Bobo to Allen, and Champ and Boss.
It's watching your personal favorites and pulling for that special walk-on player.
It's the Redcoats spelling out G E O R G I A,
UGA attacking that AU guy Baker and Hairy Dawg.
GEORGIA football is GOOOOO DAWGS.....SIC'EM woof woof woof woof!
It's hating orange and bees and gators and cocks.
It's Munson and his cigar and "Whaddaya got Loren?"
GEORGIA football is
Coach Dooley dancing down the sidelines,
Erk with a blood-streaked forehead
and Coach Richt yelling, "How 'bout them Dawgs" .
It's missing Lewis Grizzard and Catfish and wishing for just one more article
about Tech.
It's Silver Britches and Red Helmets with the "G".
It's ringing the bell and winning and bowl games.
It's watching the team warm up,
standing for the national anthem,
"high five's" after touchdowns and yelling at the referees.
It's road trips without tickets, and "I need 2".
It's Guthries, Steverinos, The Varsity and the Blind Pig.
It is meeting the team and hugging the players
and the stadium shaking with the cheer.....GEORGIA.........BULLDOGS!
GEORGIA football is
those feelings that you never get over
like beating Florida,
Overtime at Auburn,
Hobnail Boots in Knoxville,
the party after beating Clemson,
and partying on Bourbon Street as SEC CHAMPS!
It's last minute drives to win the game,
watching your favorite player leave the field for the last time,
one foot in and one handed catches,
interceptions and unbelievable touchdowns
and holding your breath over last minute field goals.
It's those wonderful memories that keep you coming back again and again
even when things don't look so good.
GEORGIA football is Sanford Stadium and the Hedges and PRIDE,
and "IT'S GREAT TO BE A GEORGIA BULLDOG!!!"
