Georgia Football is simply a spectacle you must behold. When I woke up this afternoon my quad was covered in visitors throwing footballs and cooking burgers and drinking beer. Tailgating.
I knew how serious it was last year, but living way up on yonder hill at Brumby made it difficult to experience the craziness first hand. I had to listen to fight songs and party songs coming through my window all afternoon. Walking to dinner involved navigating through the parties set up in the Rutherford parking lot, and on the way there I saw a news weather man—who I've now identified as Chris Holcomb—just walking past me with his son. And everyone (even the weather man) was wearing Georgia colors.
The whole thing is just very surreal.
Right now I have the game on, ESPN, and I can see the game happening while I hear it happening down the street from my building.
Let me tell you, what you hear on TV does not do justice to the roar that ensues on every score.
Even though I know nothing about football, I can see the score (21/7), and it actually makes me kind of happy that we are winning.
Imagine that.
