Just settled into the pressbox here at the University of Georgia. It’s a great environment. The stadium sits smack dab in the middle of campus, and folks were out here tailgating when we drove up more than four hours before the game.
One odd sight: The biggest tailgating spot is a cemetery just east of the stadium. This is college football country, however, so the dead probably don’t mind.
Walked onto the field - before getting kicked off by a security guard - and took a picture of UGA’s doghouse and the statue of UGA behind the east end zone.
A couple of southern things we saw on the way into town: A Smoke and Choke shop that featured anything from incense to bongs and red brick, colonial-style homes everywhere.
Now for the weather forecast: It’s just spitting right now, but a Georgia official said two storms are converging on the area and thunderstorms are expected tonight. If it’s real wet, turnovers could be a problem for both teams.
