Tips for a Georgia Game

Well, football season is just a little over a month away, so I thought I would start blogging again. I am trying to get everyone ready for the 2009 season. First I did a countdown of seven important games, and today I want to do a blog giving tips on Georgia games. To fans who go to every Georgia game, this blog may not be much help, but to those of us who can't make every game maybe these tips will interest you.

Ok if you're going to spend the night in Athens I love the Holiday Inn in the center of town or the Game Day hotel. Sometimes Athens is booked on game days, so reserve early. If you don't want to spend as much, try hotels in Madison.

About 2 hours before the game is a little something Georgia fans like to call the Dawg Walk. Always, Always go to the Dawg Walk. It is a very exciting event to see the players get off the buses and enter the stadium. This happens right beside the bookstore in front of the entrance to the stadium. It is one of my favorite parts of going to a game.

Before the game, find a good parking place in a nearby parking lot. Yes, you most likely will have to pay to park. If it's your first game or even if it's not: go in early. It's always interesting to me to watch the players run out and warm up.

I can't give much advice about what to do during the game. If you don't know...trust me you'll catch on.

If it's not a close game you may want to leave a bit early because if you don't...prepare to sit in your car waiting to get out for a while. My family usually gets chairs out of the back of the car and sits in the parking lot until things clear out.

So, that is just a few tips about my favorite thing to do on Saturdays. Can't wait until August 30th. Go Dawgs!

Football Season Just Around the Corner

Ok dawg fans football season is approaching fast. Who is ready? I know I am, so I am giving you a rundown on the top five Georgia games this season. Which games will be crucial to the season? Which ones are sure wins? I will countdown the top five games and give you all the information for the '08 season.

Top Five Games

Ok, if you have even glanced at the schedule you know that it's hard to choose the top five games because all of them look difficult. Nevertheless, I am going to give you my opinion on what needs to be done to win a trip to the national championship in 2008. Not surprisingly, the top five teams to beat are in the SEC.

5. Auburn

This is in the top five because Tuberville always has a good team. We have to repeat last year's black out whooping. Actually the past two year's whoopings. This time we will be at their place and they will want revenge. Our guys have to realize this and play extremely well.

4. South Carolina

Well, everybody knows that we lost by four points to South Carolina last year. Those four points may be the reason we didn't play for a national championship instead of LSU. Mark Richt better get the team fired up and put Spurrier back in his place.

3. Tennessee

Most Georgia fans are trying to forget last year's beat down in Knoxville. I know I am because we were a much better team. Because of this 35-14 loss, Tennessee got to play in the SEC championship. Hopefully this year we can reverse the score and get revenge that is badly needed.

2. Florida

This could very well be the most important game of the season. First of all, Tebow is flying high because of his Heisman trophy. We hope to knock "Superman" off of his mountain. Bad news for us: Florida gets the open week before playing us. We should forget about everything else, and remember the hype we had last year going into this game and kick some butt. Another reason this game is important is because in many cases, the winner of this game wins the east and a trip to the SEC Championship.

1. LSU

I believe that this game and the Florida game are equally important. This game is going to attract a lot of people because LSU is coming off of a national championship win. We finally get to prove ourselves to them. Good news for Georgia is that their quarterback is suspended, so they have to find a replacement quick. The replacement will most likely be inexperienced. I hope the Dawgs can pull this one off and show all the nay-sayers that Georgia can beat anybody even LSU.

So, this is my opinion for the '08 season. I hope to win everyone of these games, but it's not going to be easy.
