I've been on your football field
In 2006 I was extraordinarily liquor trashed and I ended up sneaking down onto the field during warmups pregame. I ended up standing directly behind the goal post in the end zone while the team was doing handoff drills literally about 5 feet from me, I could reach out and touch kregg lumpkin. Only problem is that I was wearing red pants and swaying so someone came over and asked to see my credentials and I was just like "oh, uh, I think my seat's up there"
Another fun fact. That game was a 9pm kickoff which is crazy for a non PAC game. We drove there and back. Left Atlanta middle of the night and got to Oxford around 7am local time. Partied all day. Left Oxford after the game ended and drove back and got back to Atlanta well after the sun came up Sunday. Swore to never do that again

My favorite UGA/Ole Miss game memory is the 1993 matchup in Oxford. I was in the band at Ole Miss, and after the game, the band members would split up and go to the Grove and play for money. Lewis Grizzard, who used to be a humor writer for the Atlanta Journal Constitution (I'm dating myself) was in the Grove and extraordinarily overserved. He gave us $100 bill to conduct the band while we played Dixie. Good times.
Hated that Lewis Grizzard died so untimely. Some of his ashes were scattered between the hedges, I think.
