ATHENS - Kirby Smart and the Georgia Bulldogs have determined when UGA’s annual G Day will be.
The Bulldogs will tee off at Sanford Stadium on April 15, according to an annoucement from UGA’s Alumni Association website. The Bulldogs are attempting to win a third national title in a row. Somthing the Alumni Association calls a “chase for history.”
The Athens Banner-Herald’s Marc Weiszer reported the news Monday night.
The UGA Alumni Associatoin said of the event: “Georgia could become the first school in modern college football history to win three consecutive national championships, and the Dawgs’ road to glory begins on G-Day, April 15, in Sanford Stadium.”
G Day is the weekend following the Masters in Augusta.
Kirby has used spring games to draw attention to his program. G Day in 2016 is viewed as a critical first step in the program’s ascent over the last few years. Recruiting will be a major focus for the Bulldogs that weekend. Georgia already has the consensus No. 1 class in 2024.
