Author Discusses "The Georgia Bulldogs Fans' Bucket List"

A Bulldog alum is back in Athens with a book about the Georgia football experience. Sports reporter Jason Butt is the author of “The Georgia Bulldogs Fans’ Bucket List.” Butt, who grew up in Watkinsville, provides tips on making the most out of a day at Sanford Stadium. There are tips on Athens eateries, memories of Georgia’s biggest personalities, advice on taking a picture with Uga and more.

“It’s incredibly rare around the world that you would have a group of people that would care more about their college team than a professional team and you really get that feeling when it comes to Georgia football,” according to Butt. “These fans, they grow attached, especially if somebody went to Georgia, grew up in the state it’s something that’s ingrained within them and it’s a part of them, and that’s why you get that true passion and that fire from this fan base.”

Butt covers Georgia sports for the Macon Telegraph.

Bulldog fans will be pleased to know Uga was recently selected the number one mascot in the country by college fans in USA Today’s weekly fan index poll.
