UGA versus UT - October 7th, 2006

Despite the horrendous outcome, it was the biggest and best tailgate of the season thus far. Skippy, our classically trained chef, organized a low-country boil, originally set to feature live blue crab, but Skip's "purveyor" apparently got a bad shipment. So blue crab got substituted with shrimp. A good chef knows how to react to hickups in the supply chain :)

You know it's a good tailgate when half the crew crashes at some point during the day. Here's Skip conserving energy before working the boiler:

We even got a little entertainment from a fratastic bunch raising money by selling swings at Fulmer's ride for a buck:

Can anyone pick out the only Gator fan in our bunch (all by her lonesome)?

Can't remember which branch of the military these guys were from but it was really cool watching them make pinpoint landings at the 50 yard line at night. The big scoreboard actually showed video from the cameras mounted on their helmets as they were freefalling in the night sky over Sanford stadium. You could see the guys checking their altitude on their wrist altimeters with the stadium directly below them. Three guys swooped in with the American, Georgia, and UGA flags trailing behind them:

The dawgs blew a 17-point halftime lead to lose their first of the season in front of another sold out Sanford.
