NIGHTS IN ATHENS
Downtown
evenings
don’t follow
stereotype
By POLINA MARINOVA
The Red & Black
Editor’s note: What is a night in Athens
like? The Red & Black took to the streets
to find out, recording the sights and
sounds of an Athens evening. We begin
this week-long series with a look at the
Athens downtown scene after the sun
goes down. Some sources used for this
report chose to remain anonymous or use
only their first names, allowing down
town patrons to respond truthfully with
out fear of unwanted consequences for
their honest answers.
A typical Saturday night at the nation’s
No. 1 party school doesn't always involve
taking shots and blacking out.
Mark Vaughan, a University student,
said he spends some Saturday nights
working a late shift at Starbucks.
“Normally, they believe that [the cof
fee is] sobering them up, but it doesn't
really work,” Vaughan said.
Vaughan’s friends also find ways to
entertain themselves if they’re working
on a night when everyone else goes out.
“My friends at 283 bar actually have a
thing where they count how many breasts
they see at night,” he said. “They’ll switch
off doing the door and they’ll

‘humbling’ honor
for Univ student
By KELSEY BYRD
The Red & Black
The University’s newest Rhodes
Scholar is excited and honored by her lat
est achievement.
Tracy Yang, a senior from Macon,
found out last week that
she is the only person from
the state to receive a
Rhodes Scholarship.
"It’s a tremendous
honor first of all,” Yang
said. "It’s very humbling,
especially since the other
candidates and finalists
were so impressive and
very nice people.”

Dogs expect to receive bowl invite following victory
By NICK PARKER
The Red & Black
Georgia’s senior class didn’t want to
be the second senior class of the decade
to lose to Georgia Tech. And they defi
nitely did not want to be the bunch
that was the first to not go to a bowl
since 1996.
And thanks to Saturday’s dramatic
42-34 win over Georgia Tech, they likely
won’t be.
“We wanted this win more than any
other win we could possibly have this
year, so for us to get that and make us
bowl eligible, it means a lot,” senior

Kris Durham said. “Unfortunately it
came down to this game, but to be able
to have one more game is something I
look forward to.”
For a while Saturday, a bowl game
looked far from a certainty. But for the
first time all season, Georgia finished a
close game in the fourth quarter, and
has a chance to end the season with a
winning record.
“It would have been sickening to be
5-7 and not have a chance, and for it to
be Just over,” head coach Mark Richt
said. “It would have been tough, so I’m
glad we’re not dealing with that right
now. I think it is important that we

Seniors cherish
final home contest
By RACHEL G. BOWERS
The Red & Black <
While several Georgia players were dancing
on the cheerleaders’ platform in front of the stu
dent section, basking in the win over Georgia
Tech, Kris Durham walked away from the hoop
la with an ear-to-ear grin plastered on his face.
He wasn’t dancing.
He wasn’t yelling.
He wasn’t cheering.
He was in the moment, taking in the atmo
sphere because it was his last game.
He had just played his last game as a Georgia
Bulldog between the hedges. He had caught his
last pass at Sanford Stadium and gone through
his last Dawg Walk through Tate Plaza.
“Right now, I’m still kinda speechless. I’m
trying to soak it all In,” the senior wide receiver
said. “I mean, I actually missed the celebration

evened our record and we have a bowl
game and all those extra practices.”
Those extra practices that come with
a bowl are especially key for a group
still in the first year of defensive coordi
nator Todd Grantham’s defense.
“I think that it’s important, particu
larly because of the team we just played.
Because when you studied the team we
played, they’re so different than anyone
else you play all year,” Grantham said.
"We’ve really been doing something that
we won’t do for 11 games next year. I
think that the practice is going to allow
