Is there a good site for looking up past schedules?...if anyone wanted to look up the final score to refresh a memory?

Nope. Doesn't exist. Anywhere. Is this even a real question?

I like this site, scroll down to the bottom of this season and there's a drop-down box for a ton of past and future schedules.

I was born two days after my parents went to the Temple game on Oct 31, 1981.

First one I went to? Not sure, but the one I remember most was Quincy Carter's first start in 1998 against Kent State.

Thank you.


My first game was in the ‘80s and I was very very young....too young to remember much but some flashes and fragments...... so I want to do some research and see if I can narrow it down to the exact game.

In Athens?

I grew up SE Georgia so the Florida game was our trip of choice.

First one we made the long trip to Athens for was 2002 New Mexico State.

What's the term for false memories?

I could have sworn my first game was at Sanford in the late 80's vs Syracuse, but we only played them in the Peach Bowl in 89 Peach Bowl in ATL, so it couldn't have been that one. We were definitely in Athens.

Then I remembered my Dad took me to his old buddy's (my godfather I'd never met) house after the game and I remember thinking it was really cool that his friend knew REM because REM had just hit it big.

So maybe my first game was against Cal St Fullerton in 91 which was 6 months after Out of Time was released.

DawgFaninCa asked if I’d post his first game story for him:


“I remember walking across campus, turning to my friend, and asking....’Hey. Where did Professor Herty go?’

And then we figured it out when we saw him coaching the first ever UGA football game. Against Mercer.”

I remember little snippets, but I know it was against Tennessee. I was about 4 or 5 years old and we won. I remember running around on North Campus with some other kids while my parents tailgated with their friends. We stopped at the Varsity after the game.

how did that original story go...someone was in piedmont like "hey where did the allman brothers go" but it was before they had formed or something?
