So driving around this morning and "Devil Went Down to Ga" came on and got me thinking....

We all know UGA's in-game stadium experience isn't the most thrilling and in-game ops needs a makeover. That's not new news. I posted earlier this week I wish UGA had some type of song-like LSU has with "Callin Baton Rouge" and Bama has with their impromptu version of "Dixieland Delight." It's unique to both schools, the fans adore it, it gets them excited and they embrace it every time it plays.

Listening to DWDTG, I got to thinking, why couldn't UGA make that theirs and develop like a sing-a-long type song (maybe after Krypton plays in 4th qtr) for every game? I feel the storyline is there in the song and one of the technical-social media guys (they produce phenomenal content already with the videos that get posted) could develop some type of mini movie that could play on the scoreboard while the song plays. It has a really upbeat style to it (kind of like "Callin Baton Rouge") where fans could stand up, clap, shake pom-poms and sing to a song that everyone knows and likes and is kind of uniquely centered around Georgia with the lyrics.

My thinking is the "Devil" would be whoever we're playing that day and the person in charge could just slap the opposing team's logo on the Devil person as the movie goes along. "Johnny" could be Hairy Dawg and then you just play out the song with Hairy and the "Devil" acting it out on the big screen with Johnny--Hairy at the end overcoming the Devil and the Devil bowing his head and laying the fiddle (heck, maybe you could do a football or something) at Johnny's--Hairy's feet and then the song wraps up before the 4th qtr play happens.

Granted, don't think you could play the whole song because of time restrictions (but with how long TV timeouts are now, maybe you could) but I think that would be cool and something uniquely Ga's.

Probably just sounds stupid to most folks but it when it was playing on radio today, it got me thinking and I was like gotta get this to the board.

Anyways, Go Dawgs and beat UTjr.
