Yes, @Okefenokee Cane told me!

Pretty soon, Athens is going to lose all of its charm and be no better than Gainesville. ☹️

lol. I saw that and deleted my comment and just now seeing you responded.

I’ve lived in Athens for a good little while and have seen the transition from old Athens to the Athens of now. A lot of the people who make Athens, Athens, are still here, but yes a good bit of the charm and grittiness of old Athens is gone and I do miss it.

Bro was simply slapping hands w the fans & he jumped to slap one hand & landed wrong. He immediately started limping, tried to push through engaging w more fans & collapsed complaining about his leg. Staff came over & bro couldn’t walk.

Well the only two incidents I can think of is what happened to both Chicago Bear’s DE Lamarr Houston & Detroit Lion’s DE Stephen Tullock. Both were celebrating sacks, & a simple jump & land blew out their knees on non-contact injuries.

These guys r putting so much force on their ligaments play after play that sometimes just a simple push off jump & land, celebrating, can cause their legs to explode. I cringe EVERY time I see this new habit of jumping into teammates to chest or back bump when celebrating. To us it seems minor, but to their bodies it’s literally Russian Roulette & we’ve seen guys get injured from this.

Didn’t Bubba Bolden blow his knee because one of our guys jumped into him to celebrate and he wasn’t expecting it?

Also, I still think of the Grammatica brother who blew his ACL jumping around like a fool after hitting a 1st quarter FG. I think it was 3-0.

I went to HS in Gainesville, GA. I disagree. Unless you like the smell of chickens 24/7.

Yeah, that area hasn’t built up like the town east of it have, which depending on your perspective, could be good or bad. Everything right along 400 is suburbia now, and they’re even expanding it past Forsyth County.

Yep, totally forgot about both & neither were the same again.

I honestly haven’t been back but maybe twice since I graduated from Riverside in ‘06. There were nice pockets. I just remember the downtown Gainesville area stinking from all the chicken factories. Poultry capital of the US.

Ha. Yeah, I live in Cumming, so I drive through occasionally. Seems like it hasn’t changed much.

I used to be an advocate for our own venue but eh, **** it. I think it’s time to accept reality that it ain’t happening. If billionaire connected Mario Bro (Ruiz) couldn’t do it then no one can. The only way it ever happens is if the Marlins leave and give our land back to us OB Natives but even that’s a stretch assuming the Marlins moved somewhere else. They’d probably build a high rise in its place if they tore that **** down.

HR is fine when there are big games there. Our fans show up for that. They won’t show up for Miami vs Duke but if our rivals come to town or other big brands, we will put down our coconut ****tails and make our way over.

FAU’s stadium is actually pretty nice though.

Hate to break it to you, but fans didn't show up for Miami vs Duke while IN the OB.
