re: Would you guys go to Athens without a ticket with intent to go the game?

Tell your wife to put on something cute and stand on the bridge right before kick-off. You should be able to get tickets for a reasonable price.

That will work...but this is a better plan, one that I have used numerous times...


Find yourself a little girl...preferably one you are kin to, say a niece or cousin, but at any rate get one that is about 5 years old and blonde...you know, insufferably cute. Dress her (or, if your squeamish or afraid of molestation charges have someone else do it) in some sort of UGA cheerleader outfit....there are many manifestations of this and you can get them at a thrift store for little or nothing when the Honey Boo Boo they were bought for outgrows them. Have her hair done up and put a UGA tatoo on her cheek (one of the temporary ones unless it is your kid or you real close to the Mama). Now, here is the part where most people balk...take that kid to the book store / bridge area and pinch her...HARD...as soon as the little red clad darling starts up with the catawallowing produce your sign asking for tickets and explain that your little girl is nearly sick with heartache over you having lost your tickets to the game and you fear the resulting trauma will send her into all sorts of vile behavior like drug abuse, prostitution, and possibly falling in love with a Gator fan if she doesn't get in the game. Someone will take pity on the two of you and give you some tickets. As soon as you get tiekctes (and it wont take long) return the kid to her Mama (who the hell wants a little girl hanging out with them when they are consuming mass quantities of alcohol and talking up coeds).

If your worried that the tickets you get will be claose to the people who have them originally, resulting in all sorts of nosy questions about the presence of the busty waffle house waitress you picked up in the parking lot instead of the cute little girl you have a couple of choices...I find that drunken, abusive language usually quells any sort of enquiry into the whereabouts of the little girl, or you can simply find someone and swap tickets.

If you want in the game bad enough there is always a way....
