In all my years of being a Bama fan and following the team on their many travels, I had never been to Sanford Stadium in Athens, home of the Georgia Bulldogs. I had watched many of them though on television and listened to the broadcasters of the game talk about teams playing Georgia between the hedges and how the hedges seemed to have a factor on the outcome of the game. The stadium itself seemed antiquated to me but I guess I'm somewhat spoiled by the glamour and excitement that the new Bryant Denny offers us Bama fans. Even their stadium announcer seemed to be broadcasting the game as a play by play version, somewhat like they do in high school, rather than the short 1st and 10 or offsides Bama version that we hear most stadium announcers do. The other side of what I expected at the game was to see Georgia's team mascot, their bulldog Ugga. He seems to always get the cameraman's attention at some point in the game and gets lots of attention but if the cameraman got to see him last night he pretty much had to climb into his doghouse to see him because Ugga hardly came out of there.

It was a wet/soggy night as the hurricane offshore in the Atlantic came to pay us a visit with plenty of rain. There was no thunder or lightning with the rain and just a light breeze and it seemed to make no difference to the hearty Bama fans rooting their team on. As the game started it seemed that all of those around us were very cautious in what Bama team might show up and with it raining, it could be a long night in Athens. With Alabama scoring first, it seemed to set the tone with the fans in our area as they came alive and so did the Bama team. This, to me, was the first game this season that the team played up to their abilities. They started a little slow, as there was some confusion by the players as to where to line up in the play or silly penalties. In the second quarter though Bama looked like the championship teams of recent years as defense was playing solid and the offense began to execute in a championship way. This type of play would continue to the end of the game, something that the team hasn't experienced since the Auburn game of last year.

The question now is how does the team respond to such a big victory. Will they come out in practice Tuesday and pick up where they left off in last night or will they get caught up in watching ESPN and others talking about how good they are now and forget how hard they had to play to win last night. It will be a tough week for the coaches and the leaders of the team to keep the team in focus of last nights achievement and work to improve them even more this week. One game doesn't make a season, just ask Ole Miss.

I'm glad I finally got to go to Athens to finally watch a Georgia game between the hedges last night even though I was disappointed with a few things. Maybe if it had not been raining and we could have walked the campus it would have added to the trip. There's a lot of history behind some of these SEC schools and the only one That I have left now to see is the Swamp at Florida. At least we didn't get the water hoses turned on us last night like another school that we all know about in Alabama but maybe the rain had something to do with that not happening. No, just kidding about that. The Georgia fans were very nice to us and I actually got a hug from one of their fans as we were leaving the stadium. This lady was standing there waiting for her husband and she had this very sad look on her face. I stopped and told her that I hated to see her look so sad as us Bama fans have gone through some of the same recently and it is no fun. She hugged my neck and thanked me for caring and introduced me to her husband as he walked up. We shook hands and my night was then complete , I had made two new friends. RTR!!!

You picked a fine game to attend Jamos.  Well, other than the weather...  Alabama played a complete game and you made a few friends to boot!  Glad to hear that some of the fans were classy, even though their team doesn't always know how to act.  I'm really proud of the way the defense took control and rattled Georgia's quarterback early and often.  This game will be remembered a long time and you were there.

Roll Tide Jamos, and thanks for the well written summary.   Applause E-Cred

Title of the thread should be Massacre Between the Hedges. More fitting.

Great report!  I've always found Georgia fans to be civil, perhaps because we hate the same schools, and the color orange.

Mr. Jamos -- Another well written post about the game.  I don't know what you did in your professional life but you could have been a great sports commentator.  For all I know, maybe you were.

I think you hit a big point about the team finally playing up to its capabilities.  The D did that from the start.  In the first half, too frequently the O looked like they were making up plays in the huddle or something.  But the O finally got it together.

I was skeptical that we could win this game.  I wuz rong!!!

Jamos,  thanks for posting that. It sure makes me feel good, as a fellow Bama fan, to know that a friend of mine can and does show that type of compassion toward a rival fan like that.  You are a terrific representation of what a true Bama fan really is. I just wish the whole world could know this instead of those who claim to be fans that just show themselves to be quite the contrary.  Thank you for what you did for that lady. Thank you for being a GREAT Bama fan and thank you for being who you are...

Good report, Jamos! I wondered who all those crazies were sitting in the rain, so now I know at least three, you and my two granddaughters. Hope you all have dried out by now.
