Belue Family "All In" With Memphis Trip
We're in. Look for us in the Liberty Bowl, for the Georgia-UCF game. We decided to make the trip over, to see the 'Dogs take on the Knights. Sic'm 'Dogs! My wife Kelley is a UCF graduate, so she'll be wearing her Knights gear. We're also taking the children. My oldest son Braden is "fired up" about going to his 1st bowl game.
I tried to get Liberty Bowl ticket information at GeorgiaDogs.com, but it took forever to load. In fact, it never did load. So, off to StubHub.com, where I found game tickets selling for just $10. Ten dollars, man. Can't beat that folks. I splurged and got us the $50 tickets for just $25. These are halfway up the bowl, on the thirty-five yard line. Great thing about the Liberty Bowl is: there are no bad seats, with the bowl configuration.
Tickets just arrived FedEx. It's officially a go.
Finding a good hotel room wasn't a problem. Cost: $119. No, it's not the Peabody. Not sure if they frowned on our last minute, one-night request, or the 3 children under 6 hurt us there. And the road trip via SUV isn't that bad; I-20 to Birmingham and U.S.78 to Memphis. Cost: couple tanks of gas. Kelley will pack up some sandwiches, snacks, and the full assortment of Disney movie selections and here we go! Trip Cost: $350. Maybe even hit Graceland.
I must admit, I'm motivated to get us there because of all the negativity surrounding Coach Richt right now. This is about supporting our program. Don't want to be among those that are going to sit home and criticize everything the 'Dogs do. I've had enough of that. And it's embarrassing to read that Georgia has only sold 4,800 tickets for the Liberty Bowl. Although I'm expecting to see more 'Dog fans there than that number... maybe their ticket info on georgiadogs.com didn't load up either, so they had to go to Stub Hub too.
Hoping to see A.. J. Green go out with a big day. The Georgia single-game record is 15 catches by Shannon Mitchell against Florida in '93. Fred Gibson has the single-game record for receiving yards with 201 against Kentucky in 2001. Bet Murray will be looking his way a lot.
Hope to see you there!
