Well, as I’m sure many have noticed, Alabama’s strength and conditioning coach gave Georgia a bit of bulletin board material when he told his team in practice that Georgia was wearing black on Saturday because “they are going to a mother f-ing funeral.”
Guess what? I agree. Those wearing black at a funeral are usually doing the burying. So sure Alabama, we are wearing black on Saturday for a funeral, and we are the undertaker.
I don’t think this will have too much of an impact on Saturday’s game. With Gameday being here for the first time since 1998, a primetime and nationwide audience on ESPN, the blackout, and two undefeated and top 10 teams going at it, I think Georgia will be plenty motivated. Plus, add in the retirement of Larry Munson, the “funeral” statement, as well as all day to tailgate, and emotions will be ready to boil over come kickoff time.
Apparently some Alabama fans are planning to wear white to the game. Go ahead. Georgia doing the black out is part of what makes college football so much fun, so Alabama fans wearing white just adds to that.
I’m definitely excited about the weather as well. At last glimpse, the low could drop into the high 50s Saturday night, while the high Saturday will be around 72 with a mix of clouds and sun. It will be a great day to be outdoors for sure. Campus certainly has had a fall feel about it, a feeling that those who love college football and this time of year anticipate throughout the summer. That crispness to the air is a much desired break from the oppressive heat that late August can bring to Athens. At any rate, it makes me able to walk across campus with a heavy book bag without needing a shower afterwards, or looking like I just took one, usually a combination of the two.
Keep counting down the days, Dawg fans. Saturday is almost here, and it’s going to be an epic day.
3 more days…
