Dawgs on the Road: UGA vs. Ole Miss Tailgate

It's time to settle the score.

Join us for a pre-game tailgate as the Dawgs take on Ole Miss in Oxford. We're bringing the good vibes, cold drinks, bites, games, giveaways and plenty of Georgia pride for a little revenge tour before kickoff.

Come hang, grab a drink, snag some swag and get game-day ready with the DawgNation Family at one of Oxford's iconic venues, The Lyric. Just a short 15 minute walk to Vaught-Hemingway Stadium.

Drinks. Bites. Games. Giveaways. DawgNation. And a little unfinished business.

Let's make some noise in Oxford. Go Dawgs!
