Sony Michel initially committed to Georgia despite Chubb's comittment because his fall-back plan if football didn't work out was to be a musician/producer etc, and Athens is a well-know music town with lots of opportunities and connections.
Also, former UGA kicker Billy Bennett used to hang with all the local bands, that's where he always got his recreational necessities and women, just going to rock shows, skipping the bar/club scenes. He was really into hippie jam band music.
Then there's the story about how James Brown wrote a song "Dooley's Junkyard Dawgs" and even performed at halftime in Sanford Stadium in the early 80's. Pretty cool story.
What else yall got?
Also there's this-
33-18

I remember seeing Brown perform live at the CLOCP my freshman year in Jax. He wrote that song about the '76 team and I seem to remember him performing it at a few games.

The guy that wrote the Rocky song went to LSU. That's all I got.
