Gotta listen to the body.

Before the sugar bowl in 07/08, my group was so got dang fired up that we decided to leave ATL at midnight because we couldnt' wait around any longer. We pulled into New Orleans at 8am that day of the game, but instead of being jacked up and ready to drink and gamble all day, we were zombies. We spent most of the first half of the day attempting to get any sleep we could, or half heartedly get some food down. It was awful.

Get some rest around ATL and just make a full day of it thursday, I think in the long run you'll be better off for it, especially tailgating-wise.

ETA: OH, forgot to mention. I just drove in I-20 about a month ago from ATL to NC. That stretch between Augusta and Columbia is AWFUL. There is NOTHING and it's not lit either besides your headlights and the moon. I'd seriously be worried about you falling asleep at the wheel.
