Wow that's a lot of good 411 for both places. We're really very adaptable to different types of places/atmospheres. We're really social people that still go out on a pretty consistent basis with friends and can have a good time almost anywhere. Just looking forward to enjoying good atmospheres and meeting some good people.

I'm sure you'll do so in Cola, but I can guarantee it in Athens. One of the reasons visitors and locals love it so damn much is because of how walkable the downtown is and seamlessly it meshes into the campus. You will literally park your car or take a cab to downtown and then not have to drive to get anywhere for the rest of the day or night. The stadium is built into the dead middle of campus and you'll walk through the most beautiful parts of UGA to get there from downtown. And if for some reason you just can't find a way into the game, just hike your arse back to downtown and pick a place to watch it (I'd recommend the Georgia Theatre; people from around the state flood Athens with and without tickets, so you'll have a good time anywhere). It's like some sort of collegey, footbally wonderland.

You'll have a good time. Make sure you go out Friday night in Athens to get a better feel for the town. Saturday will be an absolute clusterfrick downtown after the game and a lot of bars will be wall to wall crammed with people. If you start feeling claustrophobic or want to get in a bar that you can actually breathe air in, head towards Washington street and check out some of the bars there. They are generally a good bit less crowded than the bars off of Broad and Clayton street.
If you don't want to shell out the $150+ on tickets and GA theater is too crowded, I've found that Bar South is a good spot to catch the game.

Colorado Ag. As a third party yourself, I'd like you to give the board your impressions from the trip and see if they match what my thoughts are of both places.
Have fun and be safe!
