Look: Athens turned into Project X after Georgia’s back-to-back title win
By John Buhler
Georgia won back-to-back national titles, as the student body had its way with Clayton Street.
We can rebuild Clayton Street in Downtown Athens after last night. We have the technology.
There is nothing finer in the land than a drunk, obnoxious Georgia fan. In between the nattys, the Pappy’s and the victory cigars, there was no line at Mag’s to be had. The greatest college town in America is the proud home to back-to-back College Football Playoff National Champions. There are party schools and then there’s UGA. Jealous or repulsed by it, you must get on our level, Dawg!
The last time we saw Downtown Athens look like this Widespread MFin’ Panic played over at SAE.
While the student body’s favorite team was too busy being champions three time zones away, property was destroyed last night alright, just as the Voice of God, Larry Munson intended.
Chairs and stop signs be damned. Blue squiggles were falling from the sky like New Orleans sugar!
Auburn may suck, but it was impossible to drive in one’s truck last night between Thomas and Pulaski. You would have thought Argentina just won the World Cup!
In the first few weeks of the year, it is a Dawg Eat Frog World. Them Dawgs is hell, don’t they?!
Downtown Athens becomes something biblical after Georgia repeats in natty
For those who have never been to the sacred few blocks that make The Classic City college town Mecca, you don’t even know! Win or lose, Dawgs still booze. There are more bars per square foot than oxygen in the air probably. I don’t know, I’m not a scientist. I barely graduated from the business school, Dawg. But what I do know is the University of Georgia just made millions more.
Good luck to every overachieving high school student from the Metro Atlanta area trying to get into this place. 4.0’s or bust. You’re either elite or you’re not, whether that is in the classroom, the football field or having the time of your life on the barroom floor. To be on the asphalt in a moment like this had to have been something biblical. We wish Lewis Grizzard could have put it into words.
It had been 41 years the last time Dawg Nation did something like this. Now, it seems to be heading towards an annual tradition. On the day Mark Richt got into the College Football Hall of Fame, his predecessor Kirby Smart officially punched his ticket into Atlanta. Seven years separate us from Richt’s final year and where Smart has Georgia now. If you build it, champions will come.
It is totally acceptable to bark at another human being today, so long as you got that Dawg in you!
