It's such a highly anticipated game that ESPN's College Gameday is going to be tagging along, covering all the action. They're setting up in Myers Quad and will begin broadcasting live Saturday morning at 10 a.m. Dawg fans are split on if this will mean good things for the game or not, College Gameday's attendance hasn't always boasted well for UGA. But if we're ever going to overcome the curse, and show Lee Corso once and for all that we're worth the hype, then us dawg fans need to show up early and stay late!
