Traveling to Athens

[NO SIR EEE]

Lordy mercy, I thought I had it bad at about 45 miles away. If we win next week, I'll drive down, and we can tear their goal posts down

Let’s gooooo

My advice for traveling to Athens would be don’t. Jk just make sure to give em hell down there

I hate Athens lol. I had a horrible experience in 2022. I would say I hate UGA fans the most of any team. I undoubtedly hate the Bama program itself the most of any team, but UGA fans are definitely the worst in the SEC imo.

Also, everyone in the SEC seems to have this weird veneration for that city and I wasn’t that impressed. It’s good. Definitely in the top 5 SEC college towns, but a lot of people act like it’s superior to Knoxville by a good margin and I don’t see that at all.

While Georgia's campus has some aesthetically nice areas, Athens itself is generally a festering boil of a town aside from a few good restaurants and breweries.

Yup. Been there in football offseason for various reasons. Most overrated SEC city in the conference.

If one is coming from the East Tennessee area, would Madison be a little bit out of the way?

Madison to the stadium is 30 mins. We have some great eateries here.
Madison Produce - Sandwich shop
Town 220 - upscale steak house
Ricardo's - semi-upscale restaurant
Madison Chop House - Local restaurant similar to Applebees (good most of the time)

Sounds like you need to make it there… just saying

Agree! Springing for those tickets hurts too much right now. I just had to purchase a four wheeler because my old one died.
I've actually been to Sanford Stadium and saw Georgia Tech and Auburn win there.

Tennessee Georgia a must win game for the Georgia Bulldogs because it’s very unlikely they could reach the 12 team playoffs with 3 Losses.
The door is still open for 2 loss teams to make the 12 team playoffs.

It has probably been mentioned before, but keep an eye on your vehicle speeds coming into and moving around the city. I work in the area, and saw more ACCPD officers out (and in different spots) than usual during my lunch break, particularly on the 10 Loop. No doubt GSP will be heavy on 316 coming in from the west as well. Stay frosty, and GBO!

Yeah, but not all of them. Tennessee could easily be on the committee's chopping block. Ole Miss beating UGA didn't help us. I just don't want this guy......
