Never let it be said that Butts-Mehre is completely lacking common sense. This is a good idea.
Georgia’s 2019 Fan Day will have a different feel compared to previous events under Kirby Smart.
It’s set for August 3, which will be the third day of the Bulldogs’ preseason camp and according to release from UGA Sports Information, it doesn’t appear as if it’ll the accompanied by an open practice. Instead, fans will get the opportunity to enter Georgia’s “House of Payne” indoor practice facility for an hour’s worth of autographs from Kirby Smart and players.
No photos with Smart are players are allowed but fans will get the opportunity to pose with Uga X at a different location, the Richard B. Taylor Room connected to Stegeman Coliseum.
Inside on a hot August day is smart. Only an hour for autographs, though — hope they’ve got those lines moving as efficiently as a Georgia practice.
Those lines will likely be as efficient as the concession lines at Sanford for the home opener.

Certainly doesn’t allow any time for a meaningful exchange for the kids with their favorite player. Adults should step back and allow all the time to the kids, imo. Seems a little stingy by KS.

Well, I’m sure it cuts into recruiting time.

I miss those old hot, muggy picture days when my kids could talk to the players and mug for pictures with them. Of course there’s a lot that I miss from those days.

Any idea why there’s no photos??

You would have to pay each player for their likeness? 🙂

Quicker more effective fan method would be Bus Kirb’s and Dawgs to Epps Road WalMart and have em run the express checkout lines. For say a hour and that way McGoofy could be the greeter. Oops I think WalMart has done away with greeter’s and so has The Butts-Mehre building unless you donate over $25,000. Have a nice day !
