Memory while in school: So Many!!! Cheering for the Bulldogs Between the Hedges is one of my greatest most treasured memories. Cheering at my first GA/FLA game, traveling to all of the bowl games and cheering at the Final Four will always be my top core UGA memories. But the BEST memory is meeting my husband, Kevin Butler, on campus and cheering for him on the sidelines.
Gameday ritual/plan: Now, my gameday ritual is listening to Dawg Talk Pregame with Jeff Dantzler and Kevin Butler on the Bulldog Network.
Tailgate Recipe:
Bacon Crackers by Meghan Lynn
½ cup dark brown sugar
About 50 Club Crackers
1 package of center cut bacon
Preheat your oven to 250 degrees. Place your crackers on a wire rack. Cut your bacon into thirds. Place a slice of bacon on each cracker. Sprinkle bacon with brown sugar. Bake at 250 for an hour or until the bacon is crispy. And then repeat the process because they will be gobbled up.
