🙌 Big Tailgate Shout-Out

Congrats to Bayley Craig & Carley Loux on their engagement 💍! We were starting to wonder if it was ever going to happen… better late than never! 😉

And another big shout-out to Ben Jordan — officially a student at UGA! Ben has been coming with Byron, since he was very young, always helping with the setup. Now he’s a Dawg himself and loving student life in Athens. Congrats on getting in, Ben — and don’t forget to grab those student tickets (we know that’s the real reason you applied to UGA ).

🌤️ Weather Report

1. High: 82°F , Low: 64°F and Winds: 5–10 mph
2. Sunset: 8:06 PM
3. ☀️ Perfect football weather!

📝 Special Notes

A huge thanks to Byron for always setting up and getting to the lot early to secure our spot.

UGA has made our parking situation more difficult, and it’s been harder (and more expensive) to get our spot. We’re asking the group to contribute $200 toward the parking pass to help cover the difference.

We’ll also be having a whole pig at the Alabama game 🐖, which will cost around $650 or more.

There will be an envelope at the next 3 games — add to it whenever works best for you. Or, if it’s easier, you can Venmo Jimmy: @Donald-Jordan-25.

Thanks, everyone, for helping keep our tailgate tradition going strong!
