One of my favorite memories from college was the 2007 NCAA National Championships for tennis held at the dan mcgill tennis complex in Athens. I volunteered to work the first few days which was kinda cool, but then got free admittence the last day. I got my buddy a pass too, so we would go watch some national title tennis, then every 20 minutes or so go back out to my truck and pull on a handle of Evan Williams. It was nasty, just sitting out there in my truck and no mixers, but we got used to it. Eventually one of the other volunteers that was working asked me "are you drunk?" man that's always a scary question. We just went in a different gate after that. We were just trashed talking some tennis with the head coach of like east carolina or something up in the stands.

UGA ended up winning the national title, it was cool to see in person. We played virginia in the finals, and the final round for singles was also between UGA and UVA, us with John Isner and them with Somdev Devverman or something (I remember because it's a unique name). The UVA guy won I think which kinda sucked. I did get Isner's autograph on a tennis ball afterward though.

Fun times.

WG, I have been to that indoor and outdoor facility many times...nice set-up for the tennis team. We won the SEC regular season and SEC Tourney when I worked for coach Emory in 1992.

The community comes out in droves to support the championship. Good times and it was great a sorority picked us us and feed us a dinner.
