We're romantic about a college town. Whether it's Athens, GA, Madison, WI, Ann Arbor, MI, or Lawrence, KS, college towns all have a certain je ne sais quoi. And one of the driver's behind that are the establishments that live only in that town. They are one of one. They're iconic. The Campus Icons series will highlight those places, share their histories, learn about their traditions, and champion their stories. Pull up a barstool and join us!

EPISODE 1: Nick's English Hut - Bloomington - Indiana University

Bloomington is a world-class college town. And any trip to B-Town must start with a stop at Nick's English Hut. Gregg “Rags” Rago’s joint is singular and oozing with character and unquestionably IU. Put simply, it’s iconic. Belly up, play Sink the Biz, get a full-size order of Biz Fries and cheer on the Hoo-Hoo-Hoo-Hoosiers. When we were planning our Campus Icons series, we kknew that Nick’s had to be the leadoff hitter. Gregg walks us through almost 100 years of Nick’s history and shares the stories and traditions that have sewed it into the fabric of IU and Bloomington.

If you find yourself in Bloomington, Nick's needs to be your first stop:

John Metchie's absence and the effect it will have on Alabama's offensive gameplan and ability to stretch the field
The matchup he's looking forward to most on Monday night
His pick to hoist the CFP trophy at Lucas Oil Stadium on Monday night

A Record-Setting NFL Draft for Georgia Football

Seth Saunders — Wed, 12 May 2021 12:00:00 GMT

Herschel and Boss bark about:

The Coin Toss: Georgia football broke a program record, having nine players selected in the 2021 NFL Draft. Will that record be broken in the 2022 NFL Draft?

The Saturday In Athens 6-Pack (brought to you by our good friends at Southern Brewing)

(1) A program-record 9 Dawgs were selected in the 2021 NFL Draft - what does that say about the current state of the Georgia football program?

(2) What was more surprising - Azeez Ojulari falling to the 50th pick, or Malik Herring going undrafted?

(3) What was more surprising - Richard LeCounte being drafted in the 5th round, or DJ Daniel going undrafted?

(4) The first line for the Georgia-Clemson opener was recently released. Georgia opens as a 3-point underdog: too much, too little, indifferent?

(5) Major Burns entered his name in the transfer portal - what effect, if any, will that have on the 2021 Georgia secondary?

Georgia Football: A G-Day Recap

Seth Saunders — Mon, 19 Apr 2021 18:00:00 GMT

Herschel and Boss bark about:

The Coin Toss: Saturday was an absolutely magnificent day, and Athens was the star of the show.

The Saturday In Athens 6-Pack: G-Day

(1) Dawgnation, meet Adonai Mitchell.

(2) QB2 should be QB12.

(3) Darnell Washington is a GROWN ASS MAN. (That's it. That's the tweet.)

(4) If Saturday was any indication, RBU may have an aerial flair to it this season.

(5) The defensive backfield is Georgia's biggest offseason question. Why their play at G-Day should provide all Dawgs fans with some optimism.

(6) Georgia football's front seven has received a lot of offseason hype - their performance on G-Day was Exhibit A in the case for why all the hype is justified.

(4) JT The Distributor - QB1's comments about being the point guard for the offense, distributing the ball to the Dawgs many playmakers, and why Dawgnation should be excited.

The Georgia Football Survey and 6 Sporting Events for the Rest of Your Life

Seth Saunders — Fri, 12 Mar 2021 13:00:00 GMT

Herschel and Boss bark about:

The Coin Toss: (via Seth Emerson's article on The Athletic) Dell McGee was asked last week, what is the impact of Zamir White and James Cook returning? His answer was along the lines of, “It’s very similar to the situation when Sony Michel and Nick Chubb came back.”

The Saturday In Athens 6-Pack (inspired by Part III of Seth Emerson's survey series)

(1) Georgia-Florida: where do you want it played?

(2) Do you favor Georgia continuing to play Georgia Tech every year?

(3) Would you attend games at Sanford next season is the stadium is full capacity?

(4) Alcohol sales at Sanford – yes or no?

(5) What year did you attend your first Georgia game (was it home, road, or neutral site)?

Georgia Football: Fall Practice Is Here

Seth Saunders — Fri, 06 Aug 2021 13:25:30 GMT

Herschel and Boss bark about:

The Coin Toss: Pictures filtered out on social media this week of Georgia recruits in all red uniforms. Could it be a tease of something we'll see the Dawgs wear on the field? Are H.G. and Boss fashion forward or traditionalists when it comes to the uniforms UGA wears?

The Saturday In Athens 6-Pack (brought to you by our good friends at Southern Brewing)

(1) FanSided - we are now the official Georgia Bulldogs podcast of the Fansided Podcast Network, which is fitting, because we, first and foremost, are fans. We are fired up to partner with FanSided and our hope is that it allows us to bark with more of y'all!

(2) Snappers Assemble - listeners to the show are aware that H.G. and Boss think long snappers are the straw that stirs the special teams drink. We are thrilled to have two DGDs - William Mote and Payne Walker - join the Saturday In Athens team as brand ambassadors.

(3) Fall Practice Is Here - we made it y'all, the Dawgs are back in business and prepping for the opener against Clemson. What are H.G. and Boss looking for as practice begins?

(4) ESPN's Powers Rankings slot the Dawgs in at #4 - should they be higher, lower, or is that spot just right?

(5) The Classic City ranked as the #2 college town in America by ESPN - which town was ranked higher? Any beef with Athens not being #1?

The Saturday In Athens Sixer

(6) NIL Retrospective - which Georgia players in the Richt-Smart era would have benefitted the most from the new NIL rules? H.G. and Boss rank their Top 6.
