ON THE I
DOYLE JONES, JR. M
There won’t be much sleeping Friday night at the Jones
househould. At least by one of the residents. Just as on
Christmas Eve when visions of sugar plums dance through
the minds of the children, we’ll be seeing visions of
tomorrow’s opening game between Georgia and Pittsburgh
and Sanford Stadium comfortably filled with some 50,000
fans.
Before retiring Friday night we’ll have the football
paraphenalia laid out and ready to load in the car by dawn’s
early light. Cushions, stadium seats, binoculars, umbrellas,
rain gear, etc. will be placed on the large chair in the den.
Martha, more phlegmatic and less excitable, will sleep more
soundly and just plain more, will arise about the usual time
and after breakfast will launch into last minute preperations
for the lunch. Sandwiches will have to be made, the chicken
fried, eggs stuffed, ice chests loaded, and a myriad of other
time consuming chores.
We have invited Col. John E. (Jay) Jones and his
attractive wife, Sandy, of Warner Robins and Dick and Livia
O’Hara of Jackson to be our guests for this inaugural game.
Jay and Sandy have been with us on several other occasions
while Dick and Liv are first timers. Jay is a cousin, a pilot in
World War II who served his country with distinction, and a
native of Statesboro.
About ten o’clock, depending on the Jones and O’Hara’s
punctuality, we will set sail for Athens Town, using the route
which over the years we have found takes less time and
encounters less traffic. We go the Monticello Road, across the
bridge and turn left at the bridge onto 221, going northward
until the road intersects with Route 11 several miles southeast
of Mansfield. You go through Mansfield, Pony Express
Junction, the Hub, and Social Circle. North of Social Circle on
the Monroe Road, you turn right and proceed on a virtual
private road through Good Hope and High Shoals. You can
either hit the Madison-Athens highway at Bishop or
Watkinsville,and it is then you see the first traffic of fans
coming from southern and eastern parts of the state. If the
traffic is unusually heavy or bumper to bumper, we take what
we call the back route at Watkinsville, approaching Athens
from the direction of Whitehall and Princeton. We come into
Athens from the old Ag barn complex and then proceed to our
favorite parking and picnicking spot behind the Extension
building where we finally come to rest under what we have
dubbed over the years as the “Jones tree.”
The drive to Athens along this route is quite scenic. On
several occasions John and Georgia Schroeder have made the
trip and John never fails to comment that the gently rolling
hills and green pastures in and near Mansfield remind him of
Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley. And indeed it does. Later in
the Fall the leaf show is worth the trip to Athens alone. The
game is a mere bonus.
Upon parking, we set up a card table, the ladies start
placing the tempting dishes on the table. Since Col. Jones is a
confirmed vegetarian, Sandy almost always brings a pot of
baked beans that have to be seen and tasted to appreciate the
talents of this gourmet cook. Not being a chicken eater, I
usually have a clear shot at any or all of the sandwiches and
other goodies, including sweets which I shouldn’t eat but
enjoy so immensely.
After a leisurely meal and visiting with friends, like the
Porter Paynes of Atlanta, who traditionally use the same

THE JACKSON PROGRESS-ARGUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA
parking area, we repack the lunch for a later snack and start
for the stadium around 1 o’clock.
We never invite anyone idly. There is a method in my
madness and it has to do with food. A prerequisite is being a
good cook and a good lunch preparer. Please take note,
Livvy! Who can ever forget Martha Blake’s (Macon) ham
and biscuits; Evelyn Blosfield’s (Griffin) potato salad; Mabel
Cornell’s (Indian Springs) fried chicken; Elizabeth Watkins’
(Jackson) fried peach pies or peach puffs as we used to call
them: Louise Copeland’s (McDonough) and Georgia
Schroeder’s (Jackson) general excellence in packing a
delicious picnic basket? The food and the fellowship have
been unforgettable.
And after the game, if Georgia wins, the long uphill trek
seems infinitely shorter, like walking on air.
Believe it or not, when we reach the car, the food tastes
even better the second time around, the spontaniety of the
occasion whetted by the Bulldog victory. After the repeat
repast, we head for home, ebuillent, happy, talkative,
planning already for the next home game.
When Georgia loses, however, it seems Jackson has
moved back another 75 miles.
Go, you Junk Yard Dogs!
