Where do you live? Did you go to uga? When? If not how are you a uga fan?

I live in Dawsonville. Originally from Stone Mountain.

Dad was a Georgia State grad. We pulled for every local team (chiefs, flames, braves, hawks, falcons, panthers, dawgs, and even the nerds). Up until 14, i had probably attended an equal amount of Ga State, GT, and UGA games.
I was at a van halen concert at 14 years old and a tech student said that it is akin to suicide for a non-engineer to attend tech. The only tech games i have been to since (that didnt include UGA) were navy games when i was in the visitor section.

For that reason, i only applied to UGA and was accepted into terry college as a freshman. I paid my way through school. I graduated in 3 years with my HS AP credits and never dropping a course.

I have 4 kids. But my 2nd child's first words were Go Dawgs. She is the high achiever in the family. Got a 1240 on her SAT just entering her sophomore year of high school so she could do dual enrollment. She watches every game with me. Knows more about football than i did when i graduated high school(and i played high school ball). Sony Michel is her favorite player of all-time (her grandmother taught her sign language and she loved his TD celebration).

I enjoyed college football in the 90s. Bobo was my first "bum" who won me over after that Auburn game. I played little league ball with brett milican.
I went to elementary school with the Stinchcomb boys. I got to watch Hines Ward and Champ Bailey. Kirby was my favorite player by the time i graduated.

I enjoyed richt. Hobnail boot, the 2 davids played little league ball together if you didnt know, and DJ Shockley was my 2nd bum who won me over.

But there is no greater fealing than enjoying a game with a child (probably why my dad took me everywhere). My oldest has probably been to the most games with me as he is a boy scout and they get tickets for a service project. We were at the Georgia Southern game in '15 (changing of the UGAs, first home game with the Krypton lights, and it turned out being Richt's last home game). My most recent game was UAB with my dad and my 2nd oldest. We had the time of our lives.

For the record, there is no such thing as a sidewalk fan. There are bandwagoners. But true fans are true fans.
