Nobody wants to play the Bulldogs. While the Tigers are awful pissed after that Texas loss, they are running straight into the toughest team in the land. The defense alone might be one of the best I’ve seen in all my years. If I’m Kirby, I want nothing fancy. Run the ball. Get up a couple of scores and grind the clock. No injuries. Walk off the field with a win, and move on to Carolina.
While I do believe the 3:30 kickoff is the premier football time in the Fall, these November Saturdays can be tricky to navigate. It’ll be sunny at kickoff, and dark for the majority of the second half…and COLD. While it’s all about layers, it’s also about doing it right, in case you want to stop in downtown for a celebratory bite to eat or a pitcher of cheap beer.
Pack it in, folks…here’s what I’d suggest:
From top left:
1. Holderness & Bourne UGA Ward Crewneck: My go-to pull when I’m looking for a sweatshirt. It’s dressier than most, and looks great in a smart outfit. The quilting gives it some texture and some visual interest. Now available with college embroidery.
2. Randolph Concord Sunglasses: You’ll need them for the first half.
3. Vintage UGA Corduroy Hat: I’m sure you have something like this somewhere…the box in the attic, maybe the garage. This is the weekend.
4. Gresham Reed Cotton Red/White Stripe Polo: You won’t do any sweating, so bring out the cotton. And don’t forget – the Gresham Reed collars are built for this. They have some structure, so they stand up underneath #1.
5. Patagonia Down Sweater: The 2nd half top layer. You’ll need it. Trust me.
6. Sid Mashburn Canvas 5-pocket Pants: The best canvas pants on the market. Built for Saturdays like this.
7. Lucchese Sunset Roper Boots: The kickers to wear while kicking some Tiger a$$.
