A lot of us remember that week in the 2007 season. Georgia football had just beaten Troy just few days earlier.
This was the week of the Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry. The Auburn Tigers were coming to town for revenge. In 2006, a 6-4 Georgia team upset a 9-1 no. 5 Auburn team on the plains. Georgia was in the top 10 after beating Florida two weeks earlier, Auburn wanted to return the favor.
And on this random day of the week the school called for blackout of Sanford Stadium. Every Georgia fan in attendance was asked to wear black.
