Side question-
Do you prefer people pronounce it Packistan or Pocky-Ston like Obama started doing in 2008?

Born in Decatur but moved the Milledgeville when young live in Perry now. I have been a UGA fan since birth as my mom attended school there. Did not attend UGA went to school in my home town. Last UGA game was UGA Kentucky I guess in 2014 haven’t been to one since having kids but plan to change that next year as my son has been dying to go.

Born and raised in Bainbridge. Wasted one semester of my parents money in Athens before they drug me back home.
Joined the Corps in the early 90s, married a mean old ugly woman and moved to Michigan, where I earned 2 degrees from U of M. I am currently superintendent of a public school district in Mid Michigan.
I have loved the Dawgs since memory. Never even thought about rooting for the Wolverines.

From South Florida, but moved to GA while I was still in HS. Had absolutely zero interest in football or UGA growing up, though I had strong family ties to Alabama (tons of legacy). Decided against going to college in Florida (very close to going to UF) to stay in state and take advantage of the Hope scholarship.
I was in marching band throughout HS (though, again, had no idea how football worked as I never paid attention to it) and continued to do that at UGA - which was the best decision I ever made. Attended UGA from 2010-2014. I have some posts from 2014 if anyone remembers "Sousavision". Seems like most of y'all are a lot older than I am.

born in kansas but moved to marietta at age 7 and spent the remainder of my formative years there.
my family has no uga specific lineage before my generation, but we are hugely into sports and always have been so quickly scooped up falcons season tickets and began watching the dawgs on saturdays with yearly trips to athens to soak up the atmosphere.
my older brother went to uga and i followed 7 years later. i graduated in 2014. it was the only school i was ever going to attend and the only application i submitted.
i live in cincinnati now, but i still go to 1-2 games a year, depending on various things. this year was the clemson game in charlotte and home against missouri. heading to indy on sunday. cant wait.

Born and raised in Hinesville. Now live in Savannah. My parents were season ticket holders since before I was born. Was a PWO. Graduated in 2001 with a degree in Economics. Was also in a fraternity and played rugby for Georgia. I’ve been a season ticket holder since I graduated and the last game I went to was the Orange Bowl.

Wow! Interesting. She used to tell me stories about when she and friends would go into town to look around the salespeople would follow them all through the store watching them.

Where do you live? Did you go to uga? When? If not how are you a uga fan?
I live in Beaufort, SC. I was born and raised in Winder, Georgia. I have been a UGA fan that I can remember going to a game in 1976. I have been to numerous games in Athens. Last games was the Missouri game in 2019.

I guess I'm one of the older guys on the rant. My first Ga memory was my aunt screaming with joy when the radio announced that GA had upset Alabama 18-17 in 1965 when I was 10. Born and raised in Winder and still live in Barrow County. Living so close to Athens, I have always been a Dawg fan. Graduated from UGA in 1977 with a BBA in accounting and became a season ticket holder in 1981 when the east end zone was closed in. I'm lucky in that I've seen a ton of UGA games, some of the classic wins and some of the heartbreaks. I was in the Superdome on January 1, 1981 so I have been to the mountaintop.

Live in the virginia sub urbs of Wash DC (you probably just read about all the people stuck on I-95 right after where you exit to my home.)
I did not go to UGA, I lived in Athens (my Dad taught at the navy supply Corp school there from 79-82. Mom taught at Clarke Central) We had season tickets to the dawgs and my 7 year old self was indoctrinated into football hearing half the stadium Chant Herschel while the other half chanted Walker. How can you not be a fan for life after that?
My parents split up shortly after leaving Athens and moving to virginia while that sucked I did gain someone who I now consider my father (my dad will always be my dad :) ) well my new step family all worked at or attended UGA - my grandpa being a prof of veterinarian medicine. They have a big ole house and by ole I mean old right off of five points on university and I’ve gone back to UGA games with friends and family almost every year since the late 90s.
I wound up at a d3 school whose idea of a homecoming game was soccer , so never lost my childhood allegiances - Go Dawgs.
Oh last game was Chubb and Michel’s senior day vs Kentucky — COVID kinda fked us since then, and my trips back to Athens haven’t lined up with any games.

Raised in Birmingham, AL a Bama fan through Jr year in HS then moved to Gainesville HS and ended up going to UGA (in-state tuition). Fell in love with UGA immediately. Was in a rock band as a student played, TK Hardy's, The Odyssey, Uptown Lounge, multiple frat parties.
Graduated+commissioned in the USAF in '91 and had my retirement ceremony in the North Campus Chapel June 2016 after 25yrs active duty.
Fast forward, I'm an entrepreneur/business owner living in Bogart outside of Athens, 2 of 3 kids have now graduated UGA and #3 is a freshman on a Zell Miller full ride (thank the Lord)! Middle kid was a Redcoat Trumpet.
My football is played between the hedges on Saturdays and other than the Braves, I don't follow much else.
GO DAWGS...GLORY GLORY!
