The Colts end zones are also painted solid blue, and just about every other dome stadium is painted green. The BIG 10 also has painted end zones. Just hollow end zones with names are easy to paint over the solid paint requires a total repair. Indianapolis likes the BIG to play it’s championship games but it loves its Colts far more.
The issue probably boiled down to the issue of it being entirely different end zones to be put in place. Championship weekend was originally scheduled for December 5th, and both the Colts and BIG 10 use full color end zones. The Colts were on the road on the 6th but had a home game on the 20th. There probably was not enough time to totally change the field.
I was surrounded by UGA fans on the 50 yard line area. I did not say much during the game.. of course the UGA fans were giddy the first half. When Tua came in the 2nd half, I told my friend we had a chance to win the game.. by the end of the game several of the UGA fans around me (looked like college age kids) were either crying or cursing or both.
I never encountered Georgia fans until that night and I thought for years Auburn fans were just trying to make me feel good when they said “we love to watch games with Alabama fans in our stadium but absolutely hate Georgia week in JHS”. I used to want to go to all the SEC stadiums to see Alabama play, but after that night I’m counting Mercedes Benz as going to Athens. I’m through with them for a lifetime. I could only imagine what @BamaNation @92tide and @DzynKingRTR have to go through with those fools on a daily basis.
I've been to Athens several times...they can be ugly...but they are still a notch above the AU fans I've encountered over the years. Delusional, but not at the AU level...(except for AUDub!)
Ive only been to Auburn once for a football game and it wasn’t too bad. Georgia in the NCG was the worst I have ever experienced. Oddly enough the 2nd worse was going to Oxford.
TRUTH: I just reply with one word to any of their stupidity: Eighteen. That shuts'em up quicklike.
People playing frogger to get across the street to yell “Go Dawgs!!” At you, saying roll yo ass back to Birmingham, throwing beer and popcorn at people from the upper deck, the insane barking, and just the arrogance and vileness I have never seen anything like it in just one game. I’ve heard Florida fans are just like that if they have something to cheer about and I would hate to imagine what a cocktail party is like between the two of them. But Georgia fans are by far the worst fans I have ever encountered at a game.
the only "smack" i heard was from one of the school moms when i was wearing my bama sweatshirt. she was talking about all of the bad calls from the officials. I told her that none of that really matters when you're upper class laden defensive secondary couldn't manage to play a relatively simple cover 2 against our scrubs when we had our backs against the wall. and i reminded her that group of scrubs had 5 (or 6 can't remember) true freshmen. she didn't mention anything else.
I lived in auburn for one year. uga fans are far worse.
I might've enjoyed this even more than Eli's call. This past season Roger Hoover interviewed each opponent's announcer the week before the game, and I'll never know why he passed up zinging UGA's guy about this call......
Same here. Considering the game, the magnitude, the situation leading up to the play etc. It is the greatest play I've ever seen hands down.
i completely lost it after that play and was running around my house screaming like a mad man. my daughter gave me a lot of grief the next morning for waking her up
I went absolutely nutzo and am surprised my neighbors didn't call the cops on me.
