Goin' Back: Remembering UGA is an oral history project designed to preserve the memories of former students, faculty and staff of the University of Georgia. A joint project of the Office of Public Affairs and the UGA Alumni Association, the main goal of the project is to save the remembrances of those who were there – who lived the events as they happened – and to provide access to those recollections by scholars, alumni and friends.
Many UGA faithful believe if you’re good – really good – you’ll go to Athens when you die. We can’t promise that, but we’re sure that in "Goin’ Back" you’ll find a touch of "heaven on earth" as you relive the nostalgia and spirit of bygone days at UGA – "the best 'ole place around."

You know, we need to begin to mix so people can stop being afraid. We are afraid of each other, and there is no need to be because there are more commonalities than there are differences.

I've played in a lot of outstanding games during my career, but the (1943) Rose Bowl will always stick out being the greatest thrill I ever got out of football.
