Interesting fact...
Today in my Sociology of the South class we talked about collegiate football in the South, specifically at UGA.

Students would have something do besides drink on the weekends. Oh the irony. At the time Athens was a dry county and students typically left on weekends so that they could drink, but the president thought that keeping them in Athens for football would stop that.
That is all. I hope you have enjoyed this update.
Now back to work.
