I went to Athens in '15. I don't know if this was shown on tv since it happened as our team came out for warmups but most of you have likely seen it. As our boys came out of the tunnel (they had to pass by the uga team that was already on the field), nearly every uga player ran over to confront our guys and began woofing and trying to intimidate them, and their fans, OMG! It seemed touch and go as to whether their fans were going to spill out of the stands and storm the field. The fans around us started hurling insults and such at us as well. I've been everywhere: the barn, knoxville, red stick, starkvegas,, swamp; none of them are as bad as uga fans. I was at the NCG v. Georgia, I'd let that count as a trip to Athens too. Besides, that stadium is a trash dump.
What I remember is going to the NCG without a ticket (I got in without one). But my friend and I were trying to look for me a ticket since Trump’s security pretty much locked the square down. My original plan was to go back and watch the game at home (it’s a long and interesting story).

But anyways as we were walking down the street there were Georgia fans running up to us barking, Throwing cups at us, and telling us to roll or butts back to Birmingham and other colorful language. Inside the stadium was even worse. My friends were sitting in the student section (I helped to hook them up as I was a student at the time). Our student section was below their version of the A club seats. They were throwing beer bottles and popcorn at our students. They are outright horrible.

The only other bad trips I’ve had were Ole Miss 2016 and Auburn 2015. Otherwise most fans either treat you as a ghost or treat you as a guest in my experience. I am serious thinking about Gainesville next year, but I have my reservations.

yep, they showed brief clips of it on tv. i already expected us to win that game, but after i saw that, i knew the beat down was coming.

jawjuh will always be jawjuh. they actually have tradition at that program, it's just not the tradition they think it is.

They also did that crap when Clemson ran down the hill one year as well. Georgia is all about weird traditions that usually backfires. Intimidating the opponent running out, Shaking the bus, and going to the Varsity on game days. I bet my seat partner hated me when I was flying to London because I have never felt sicker flying and after eating than I was eating that crap. But Georgia fans swear by it.
