Welcome to our board. I hope you enjoy your stay, but are disappointed in the game a la 1980! Well, maybe not that bad.

Really cute little boy. Looks like a future dawg fan.

Haha thanks! And his east coast family might like that He likes the Aggie Band too much, though.

I MAY have brainwashed him a bit already. Can neither confirm nor deny

Literally just passed by Death Valley. Pitiful little hovel. Ripe for a TAMU W next weekend, methinks


Haha! Man, that sure looks like it's right in the middle of nothing, doesn't it? Hope you guys at least give them a little pause. Just don't piss em off too much before our game.

Southern Brewing Company is not real near the campus (if it is where I think it is). I hope the weather clears enough for you to get time to walk the campus and downtown a bit before the game.

Have a nice visit.

You'll need a shuttle from Southern Brewing, its not walking distance. Also the Waffle House by Southern Brewing is the best Waffle House in East Georgia.

Can you promise me you'll sport some MAGA for a stroll through the hipster part of town to make some heads explode, and please document the shitshow.

I'm sure you'll have a blast but I hate you aren't experienced downtown or campus very much. You can go to a brewery anywhere!

I wish you had a sun-filled day on campus to see the beauty. Hope your visit is a good one except for seeing your team lose. I'll bet all the Dawg fans will welcome you.

I know it’s a last minute change of plans but I would prioritize Athens over a midnight yell in Lawrenceville

Aggies all over Athens right now. Kind of refreshing to see, honestly. Love showing off this city and campus and the weather and changing of leaves couldn’t be better today for it

Yeah this was kind of a last-minute trip, plans-wise. I'm on other folks' schedules tbh.

I will be tailgating inside of a deck due to the rain. If you get to campus early, you could come by.

There's only three of those top ten places that I would actually recommend. And on a gameday, only one.

I'm in an uppity mood today, I'll post some recommendations later for op's consideration.
