There’s nothing quite like Athens, Georgia on a game day Saturday. Not only is the entire town decked out in their finest black and red, but there are also cars, RVs, tailgating tents, and fans having fun as far as the eye can see. Life between the hedges, as the football field at Samford Stadium is called due to the boxwoods that flank each sideline, is a fine life indeed. It is impossible to walk 100 yards on game day without hearing someone barking like a dog, or a pack of sorority girls screaming, “Go Dawgs” in that famous southern drawl at the top of their lungs. Tailgating is not limited to the cars and RVs. Every bar in the famous downtown area of Athens is packed with fans who are raring to go and ready to pull the dogs to another monumental victory over one of their SEC opponents. Boys decked out in their red pants and black polo shirts. Girls in their black and red dresses, skirts, and matching purses and accessories. If it is an early game, you may see bloody mary drinks and mimosas. If it is a night game, you’ll see lots of beer being consumed. One thing’s for sure, though, you will not have trouble finding sweet southerners who are willing to share anything they have.There’s something magical about Athens on game day.
