I have relatives buried in that cemetery from the early 1800s. I visited the graves when Auburn played there a few years ago.

If you don’t really understand R.E.M.’s first three albums (I realize most people don’t want to), watch the sun go down on the cemetery by Sanford stadium.

They’ll make perfect sense after that.

the cemetery is open to UGA Football Letterman and their families only… so if you’re tailgating in there, you’re in pretty select company.

And yes, there is a tunnel that goes under the stadium from Tanyard creek that lets out in the cemetery. The players that Rennie Curran demolishes are put into the tunnel and sent directly to the cemetery.

If you want to tailgate in the cemetery, you best have DEEP pockets. That is old school over there.

Why wouldn’t you tailgate in a cemetery? If I were to die, I would hope to still be included in the festivities, sort of like the Etruscan/ Roman custom of leaving a libations hole in their graves so they could receive the offerings of the not-dead.

Dude in the yellow hat looks like NASCAR driver Greg Biffle.

Never realized he was a UGA fan.

yes, this is why we paint our doors and shutters Haint Blue in the SC lowcountry: it keeps Zombie tailgaters away.

@17
I think it was more of an Athens zombie tailgating-related joke than an attack on the stupidity of an on-line newspaper and/or Southerners.

#15, that’s why June Jones is coaching SMU now. I hate to ruin the surprise ending but after June Jones gets SMU back to basic respectability (in a very mid-major sense of the word), he’s going to look down and notice the shotgun hole Georgia left in him from the Sugar Bowl and realize he’s been dead all along.

I especially like how you attribute Online Athens to being stupid. Isn’t the “Southererns are stupid” bit a little old?

Georgia’s actually a good academic university.

I have it on good authority that after spurrier leaves, the arch-lich Joe Paterno will lead the undead in South Carolina to an outback bowl.

SMU has been playing a zombie team ever since the death penalty.

In fact, sometimes zombies form their own football teams down here

And when they do, the odds are pretty good that Reggie Ball will be starting at QB and Chan Gailey will be calling the plays.

I'll bet Maryland WISHES they had the Day of the Dead type, instead of the brutally slow Serpent and the Rainbow type they have now.

As a Central alum, I assure you that Brunner’s greatest fright and confusion came from the lack of fat chicks in hoodies at the tailgate.
