My first wasn’t in Athens. It was at Auburn. ‘76. I was five. We won the SEC championship that day with Ray Goff off at the helm. My dad and I waited outside the locker room and I remember when everybody came out their heads were shaved and they were all smoking cigars. I also got to shake “moonpie” Wilson and “cowboy” Parish’s hands. My dad knew Erk Russell so I got to meet him too. Best day ever.

Oct 18, 1980 - Herschel Walker rushed for 283 yards vs Vanderbilt - I was 7.
Saw three games that season, can't recall all that many details
-- can remember my dad going down to the hedges and catching red and black pom poms for us. Can remember seeing Herschel disappear into a huge pile with runs up the gut and appearing like a warhorse out the other side.
One thing I can vividly recall if I close my eyes:
The Georgia/bulldogs stadium chant, but instead of half doing Georgia and the other half doing Bulldogs was one half chanting Herschel the other half Walker. (we were herschel)
also we kept like 30 different jack davis souvenir cups for years and years, wonder what happened to those..
Dawgs fan for life.
