UGA Fans In The Doghouse
Georgia fans are being asked by school officials to make a better effort to clean up after themselves following home football games. According to UGA president Michael Adams, tailgaters left behind 70 tons of trash following Georgia’s Sept. 12th game against South Carolina. That’s right, SEVENTY tons. Some fans even used the lawns as toilets by going both number 1 and 2 on campus grounds. That’s expected behavior for UGA VII, but certainly not for adults.
These disgusting antics were met with heavy criticism from alumni, students, and city residents, and they’ve demanded that school officials fix them problem immediately.
As a result, the university is taking steps to provide more trash bins and trash bags to tailgaters. UGA’s next home game is this Saturday when Arizona State comes to town. The university will add an additional 1,200 trash bins on campus, and they will also provide 12,000 trash bags. Gameday cleanup will also start after the games, as opposed the day after. Be sure to take note of the rules readers in Athens, and keep it clean.
