I gave my ticket to this evening's Georgia-Georgia Tech game to my older brother. Nope, I'm not a martyr...and please don't feel pity for me and my sacrifice. Honestly, I have lost a great deal of interest in the Dawgs. Not necessarily because I am a fair weather fan. Mainly, because I have a hard time sacrificing 12 hours of my life before the altar of Georgia Football each Saturday. Not that that's a bad thing, for those of you who readily and happily do lay aside a day for the Dawgs. But, I reckon I've got a lot of public administrator in me...and I see football weekends as an effeciency thing...not a relaxation thing. I can get SO MUCH done during football games...the town is virtually empty, no lines, no traffic, no stress. I pretty much have the town to myself for 3 hours each home game...and I LOVE IT. So I've found when I do go to the games every now and then, all I do is sit there and dream about the [non-existant] lines at Kroger and fantacize about driving down an uncluttered Baxter...all green lights, no old ladies driving 18 mph.

But that being said...I still love Georgia Football--or at least from a distance (of 1.2 miles, to be exact). There's not too many other places in the world where a guy can be doing his yard work on a Saturday evening...a good mile from the football stadium...and hear 92,000 Dawg fans screaming louder than his leaf blower is. It's awesome, and as I type...I hear those people belting out "Glory Glory to Old Georgia...Glory Glory to Old Georgia...Glory Glory to Old Georgia...and to HELL with Georgia Tech." Oh, how it rolls off the tounge so nicely. Go Dawgs!

meanwhile, i don't only give up a full day to game activities... i travel 8-12 hours to actually get to the game! your dedication to kroger's is impressive, though....

I guess I didn't see it that way until you posted your comment, Sara Joy....I reckon I idolize the self-checkout line at Kroger like you idolize SEC football :) I've got serious problems, though, if I'm lusting after a grocery store chain...maybe John Stone can fix me at training in a few weeks....maybe.
