I'm sure there are SOME trips out of Hartsfield but once richt left we actually got the 21st century ability to use Ben Epps.


It had nothing to do with Richt, it was Ben Epps Airport expanding their runway around the same time Richt hired Shottenheimer.

By the time it reaches you it will be a thunderstorm. Why do we exaggerate weather. Leave that to weather channel.

I’m at our winter place in the panhandle and it’s getting rough already. Praying it stays to the east and the big bend area.

We're trying to limit the amount of time UGA players spend on the highways.

Why are you blaming TWC? I lived in a place the 11PM local news weather person could NOT report heavy rains @ 7AM the next morning.

Actually I believe Les Miles brought lsu in on the Canadair type regional jets and showed us it could be done.

Safer too.

The runway at Ben Epps was extended in 2015 to accommodate larger jets.

Seems like it would be easier to just drive the 4.5 hours on busses.

Who fricking cares, leave a day early. Awesome to see your fan base already making excuses.

Can’t they just, you know, make the five hour drive instead?

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to wonder why New Orleans lost 1/3 of its population the last time a major storm hit. Have another drink sir!

If they let the players drive their own cars, they’ll get to Tuscaloosa in 90 minutes flat

100 mph gusts in Tifton, hurricane force through Warner Robins, 50+ all the way to the mountains. This storm is the real deal
