2 Dawgs — the point here is she is getting to go — I don’t GET to go — I haven’t been allowed to go to a game in 3 years!! somebody has to watch the kids. — And it would be way to expensive to get babysitters for every game for me to go with him every game —

Mom3 — we used to go together to all the games — even after we were married and even the first year of our first one — after that …

To all the questions about what will Michael do when Walsh has “games” on Saturday — I don’t think he’s figured that out yet — we didn’t sign him up for a sport this fall — Michael will have to make some decisions about where his priorities lie –

Aww, Jodi I feel so bad that you can’t do something that you so love. I will think of you every time I go see the Dawgs play. Lots of prayers and love to you! Hopefully you will get better soon and come back!

Didn’t Theresa know anything about this man before she married him? My husband is a RABID dawgs fan – he goes to every home game. I knew this before we married. I married him anyway. I used to go to the games, and now I stay home with the kids. I get to go to about one game a year. Since I knew this before we started, I figured it wouldn’t be fair to complain now. It’s not like any of us expect our husband to MATURE.

too bad for you. my wife of 26 years is low maintenance. we both graduated from UGA and return for home games. before kickoff all she wants is a few drinks at the Roadhouse and a chance to watch the sea of humanity pass by. at the game she watches intently and asks a few questions about penalties, plays and personnel. nice to be at the game with my best friend. now if the team could just beat LSU.

If I couldn’t find something better to do on a weekend than watch a football game,I wouldn’t bother to get out of bed.

I’m the season ticket holder in our family. When my husband married me, he got access to UGA and Braves season tickets plus I got tickets to Bears and Cubs games for him (he’s from Chicago).

I used to come early and stay until after the band played after the game. For one thing, getting off-campus until long after the game was over was nigh impossible. I cooked elaborate dishes for tailgaiting, packed linens and china to use and had the decorations on the car.

I’ve since become ill and can’t go to the games anymore. We live on the TN/KY border now and since my illness, can’t travel down for the games. I certainly can’t take the heat.

Some people just don’t enjoy the experience of the game. My mother didn’t, but she was a die-hard Dawg fan too. The crowds, the heat and the noise aren’t for everybody.

But I’d give anything to be able to go back and sit on the hard seats, listen to the band, watch the Dawgs, pet Uga and slather myself in sunscreen.

College football season lasts 3 months. My wife gave me hell the first three years because for three months out of the year, I have Tech football at the top of my priority list. Hell, she makes the rules the other nine months. I’ll be in Starkville this weekend and Tallahassee the next week. It’s what I do this time of year. As the years go by….she’s much more understanding.

Wives complicate everything. My wife eats nothing, on the day I bought my new stainless steel grill at Lowes, I took her out to lunch. Arby’s (which we both agreed on) had a 5 item for $5 plan. 2 sandwiches, 2 Cokes, and split a fry – I’m not cheap but that was the plan. She added a desert which made the items deveate from the special to a $8 dollar lunch. Then she didn’t eat the desert.
