Football

So, I went to my first UGA football game over the weekend; it’s definitely an interesting experience. I’ve been to Major League Baseball games before, as well as a college football game at Georgia Southern (which is a much smaller school), but the atmosphere of a UGA game is definitely more exciting. Having over 92,000 people, most of which are rabidly cheering for UGA, packed into a stadium like that is pretty intense. My seats are high enough that I actually get a pretty good view of the whole field too, though, honestly, I’m sure I still have a better view of the action on my television screen.
 
Of course, the logistics of getting 92,000 people to a stadium located on a university campus is not so great. Battling the traffic to get to a parking space nearly makes it not even worth going. I also quickly learned that I may as well consider future gamedays (I have tickets to two more games, vs. Ole Miss and Auburn) an all-day experience – I’m going to just go hours before gametime and leave hours afterwards, in an effort to avoid the frenzied exits (there’s a place across the street where I can go and watch other college football games on television to pass the time before and after the games, so waiting isn’t really that big of a deal).
 
Honestly, there isn’t a lot else happening in my life. I did hang out with Open Diarist The Mary on Friday, who has (at least temporarily) moved to my former locale of Milledgeville. Meeting with her was pleasant as always and was also the only other major happening of my weekend.
 
So, basically, I just presented an entire entry on college football to a primarily female audience. I’m not sure what I was thinking.
 
Oh, yeah, and we won the game, 35-14. Go Dawgs.
