[QUOTE="4shotB, post: 894971, member: 844"] I was at the game with my group of GT buddies. We all got out in 81 or 82. We get together for a game about every other year or so. None of us live in the ATL. We have not been to a game since the COVID thing. We picked this game 2 years ago due to the novelty of an SEC team. All of us arrived Friday and had drinks then dinner. The next day we enjoyed perfect weather and great tailgating at Peters Park. We got on campus around noon. What I noticed the most going into the game was the subdued atmosphere. People were enjoying the weather, the cockatils, the snacks, the fellowship, etc. But the pegame electricity that used to exist whenever a "big name" or ranked opponent was coming into town wasn't there. It was a Wimbledon or Masters crowd - polite, respectful, quiet. I had thought going into this game that we could compete with them. Even my Ole Miss friends were unsure of what they had and weren't quite anticipating such an easy win. But all the season ticket holders around our tailgate didn't have any sense that we MIGHT upset this team and it was apparent. They have seen this up close and personal. I had not. The first drive was jaw dropping. It was like watching the JV scrimmage the varsity. The blocked punt was beyond belief. We all left in the early 3rd quarter. Over drinks and dinner that night, we have decided to move our reunions to different locales and not have them be around football games. It's time to move on. [/QUOTE]
