"G-E-O-R-G-I-A" : Be the Band Leader at Halftime.  All eyes are on you as you join the Redcoats on the field and lead them in the spelling of Georgia, you'll be shown on the big screen so be sure to practice!

From the Booth:  Meet the guys behind the voices of the Bulldog Network.  Spend a whole quarter of an SEC home game in the booth with Munson, Hondo, Howard, and Zeier as they describe the action on the field 

Memorabilia:  Got Shelf Space?  How 'bout some empty walls?  Exclusive items ranging from Herschel to Favre, and more hard to get items signed by Georgia Greats like Jake Scott.  This year there will be some one-of-a-kind items available only at this event such as New England Patriots and Miami Dolphins helmets from their undefeated season signed by every UGA player on their rosters.  And don't miss out on the unveiling of some UGA game jerseys you have never seen before and can't get anywhere else!!!!

A military wave will hit Fort Benning, Georgia, and the Chattahoochee Valley -- which includes Phenix City -- in November and not stop rolling until September 2011.

 The latest U.S. Army numbers indicate 28,000 new people will be moving into the Chattahoochee Valley from Kentucky over the next 18 months. That includes more than 11,400 service members, government civilian workers and defense contractors. The rest are spouses and children.

This is part of the Base Realignment and Closure process that has been bubbling for five years.

The law allows active duty military stationed at a Georgia post to be eligible for Georgia's HOPE regardless of where they reside or where their kids go to school. The students must meet the academic requirements to receive the scholarship that pays tuition and partial book fees to Georgia colleges and universities.
