Well, it appears that the Georgia Bulldogs are a little worried about the possibility of the Orange Nation descending on Athens when Bruce and the Barbarians come to town this Saturday. According to Paul Westerdawg over at the Georgia Sports Blog, the University has done everything it possibly can to make sure the butts in the seats at Stegeman Coliseum this Saturday are wearing Red, and not Orange. According to Westerdawg, UGA has out of its way to try and fill the 10,500 seat arena with Dawg fans:

We’ve sold close to 900 tickets to fraternities and sororities who are having their parents’ day at Saturday’s game, over 250 tickets are being used by former basketball lettermen as part of our annual reunion game and a lot of our endowment donors will be in town as part of donor appreciation day.

When you take into account that we sold 2,600 single game tickets for the UT game and you take out the 1,300 above sold to UGA groups, it really only leaves about 1,300 tickets that would be available for single game ticket sales. Out of the 1,300 remaining single game ticket sales, it is tough to say how many were bought by UT fans.

Also, UT got their contracted 100 tickets for their player/family allotment. Unless a lot of Georgia fans have given/sold their tickets to UT fans, then 1,300-1,500 is the max that UT could have in the house. Probably closer to 1,000 in the house as I don’t think all other 1,300 single game sales were sold exclusively to UT fans.

Apparently Georgia Basketball is not exactly a “hot ticket”…

This is one of the few times that I am glad scalping tickets is legal in Tennessee. For any of you orange-blooded folks who would still like to go to the game (and benefit a good cause) visit BasketballRoadtrip.com and sign up for the bus trip to Athens. The trip includes round-trip transportation, lunch and dinner, and your ticket to the game. All proceeds from the trip go to benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. If you don’t have plans for Saturday, this is a fun and inexpensive way to support the BasketVols, and it’s all for a very good cause.

For those of you staying here, the game is currently set to tipoff at 3:00 on Raycom Sports and the Vol Network

In light of the Vols dismantling of the Arkansas Razorbacks last night at the Tommy Bowl, a win at Georgia will help to cement the Vols place atop the SEC East, and help Tennessee as they approach tournament time.

Go Vols! Beat the Puppies!!!
