First Basketball Game

Tuesday night Matthew made the short trip to Athens for his first college basketball game; where he watched the Georgia Bulldogs defeat the Colorado Buffaloes. The newly renovated Stegeman Coliseum looked great! All the activity of the basketball game: players, fan, cheerleaders, and mascots Hairy Dog and Spike all kept Matthew very entertained. Some of the kids in attendance were scared of Spike, but Matthew's only problem with the blow-up mascot seemed to be when he was blocking the view of the court. During the game, Matthew was seated next to former Athens Mayor, Doc Eldridge, and they quickly became friends. The little boy was well behaved during the game and made sure he pointed out the dogs in the game program between dancing to the music during timeouts. Since the game didn't start until 7 pm, he had to leave before the final buzzer, but was still in good spirits as he stayed up well past his normal bedtime. A good time was had by all and the family looks forward to their next opportunity to take Matthew to another basketball game.

Goooooo Dawgs!
