ATLANTA (AP) - A spokesman for the governor says a suggestion by
a petroleum executive to cancel Saturday night's Alabama-Georgia
football game as a fuel-saving measure is "ridiculous."
Tex Pitfield, president and CEO of Atlanta-based Saragay
Petroleum, made the suggestion in an interview on WGAU radio
station in Athens.
Gov. Sonny Perdue spokesman Bert Brantley said, "The governor
is not going to consider a ridiculous idea like this. We're also
not going to stop living our lives."
Meanwhile, UGA Police Chief Jimmy Williamson said fans who can't
make a round trip on one tank should stay home.

SamRock, its all fun.  yes, how about that tide. i bet the players were exhausted after having to travel all those hundreds of thousands of miles and yet managed to win.

Good morning everyone. I’m sorry I caused a stir. You post whatever you you like. I’ve enjoyed it for long time anyway. Hope those Dawgs had enough gas to get home after halftime.

Well, the BFA stayed on the subject but now it’s time to get off the subject and go to breakfast.

I wonder how many of their friends are going to show up for the game that don’t use gas?
