- We get off the bus and what are we greeted by -- four F-16 Fighter Jet's doing their test run over Sanford Stadium for tomorrow night's game
- A beautiful view from the west end of Sanford Stadium -- the most beautiful natural grass field you'll ever see. I learned that Georgia does not practice on the field -- only the kicker's have access to the field (one day each week)
- We were treated to an event in Georgia Football's Recruit Lounge -- a very large facility that sits on the western edge of the Stadium -- it's slick
- A gospel choir surprised us with a singing of Here Come The Irish and Georgia On My Mind
- Every table had Georgia guests and Notre Dame guests
- Broadcasting great, Vern Lundquist was the MC
- The Governor of Georgia and their two (2) U.S. Senators were in attendance
- Heisman Trophy Winner Herschel Walker
- CBS's Sports' Chairman Sean MacManus
- NBC Sports' President Pete Bevacqua (ND grad)
- Jerome Bettis
- Lou Holtz
- Vince Dooley -- the legendary Georgia coach admitted he grew up rooting for the Fighting Irish, hoping to play for Notre Dame someday...
- CBS's broadcast crew for tomorrow night; Nessler and Danielson
- University of Georgia's President and Athletics Director
- Jack Swarbrick
- Executive Director of the College Football Playoff
- A number of Augusta National members
- Shannon Cullinan (Notre Dame's EVP)
- Tom Burish (Notre Dame's Provost)
- Etc.
A truly wonderful event!
This is the first of three events (tonight and tomorrow) -- where Georgia is hosting Notre Dame...
