Going to drive from Atlanta to Athens for the LSU game. Im assuming that its a 330 start. Mapquest says about 90 mins. What am I looking at on game day if I leave Atlanta at 9ish. I may take a limo but just need to know timing....thanks in advance.

If you're leaving at 9:00 I'd budget 2-2.5 hrs. Just depends where in Atl your leaving from. They are doing major road work on I-285 thru the end of the year on the N. side of ATL which can affect trip times tremendously if you do not know the alternate routes...

What a tool

I'd do yourself a favor and leave at 7 AM. That will probably reduce your trip time substantially. Downtown Atlanta to Downtown Athens at 9 AM for a 3:30 kickoff would probably take 2 hours at least IMO. Getting into town after 11 AM won't give you enough time to enjoy the classic city.
Leave at 7 and you'll be in Athens by 8:20. Way better plan

Just take a helicopter...you can leave at 3 and get dropped off at the 50 by 320.

and don't go 316. I would highly recommend taking 129 in (farther up I-85)

If you're in town, I'd say go out 78. That takes you directly into Athens and you won't have to deal with 316, which can be a bitch on game days. 78 has a good bit of lights out through about Snellville, but once you get past that, it opens up a good bit.

Your limo driver should know this information in advance. You need to get new help.

Just stay on 285 until you get there

Take I85 all the way up to Jefferson Highway (78) and take a right and that takes you all the way in to Athens. 316 will be horrible.
