50 years of being a Georgia Bulldog!

You've seen a lot of great Georgia moments I bet!

Same for me. August 27, 1964, I got off a Trailways bus in Athens and walked to the athletic department lugging 2 suitcases of clothes. Someone at the office gave me a meal card and directions to my dorm. One of the greatest days of my life.

I'll never forget getting off the plane at the local airport not knowing where I was or how to get to the campus but I met another student at the airport and was able to hitch a ride to Athens on the back seat of his motor scooter.

Along the way he gave me the sound advise not to wear socks with my shoes.

Since I had never visited the campus before I got there or even saw pictures of it, he was nice enough to drop me off at my dorm Reed Hall.

After I was shown my room I was immediately approached by my dorm mates and told in no uncertain terms that it was a tradition for the new guy to be thrown in the showers with his clothes on.

I ended that "tradition".

When I found out that Sanford Stadium was right next to Reed Hall and I could go to all the home games for free I was in dawg heaven.

I'll never forget the football game where UGA came back from behind to beat Bama 18-17.

After the game, I watched Bear Bryant lean against a goalpost for several minutes with his head held down in his hands in agony.

It definitely was one of the proudest moments in this ole dawg's life.
