Novel approach to UGAy control

Man, makes you wonder where all the stereotypes on Ugag fans comes from, doesn't it?
 
Most of those Auburn folks are just good ole country boys and they know the only way to separate dogs is to turn the hose on them.
 
I'm amazed many of them didn't strip down. It's not every day you get a chance to bath when you live in Athens.
 
1986:
As long as Georgia and Auburn play football, and they've been doing it since 1892, people will remember Kermit Perry.
Who is Kermit Perry, you ask?
Well, in 1986 Georgia was given no chance to win at Auburn, which was 8-1 and ranked No. 8. And when Bulldogs quarterback James Jackson didn't make the game after attending a family funeral, Georgia's chances were thought to be about zero.
But Georgia beat Auburn 20-16, and Bulldogs fans stormed the field at Jordan-Hare Stadium. Auburn officials turned the water cannons on the fans to get them off the field.
Here is what you may not know. The man who gave the order to turn on the water cannons? Kermit Perry, University of Georgia class of '55.
"I love Georgia, and the last thing I ever wanted to do was turn those cannons on," said Perry, who is now retired and living in Newnan. "But that was our security plan. We had had that plan in place for five years, and we had never used it."
Spraying the Georgia fans on the field was one thing. But then one of the men handling the water cannon turned and focused a blast of water into the end-zone seats. Then things got a little ugly. Among those sitting there was Georgia's Speaker of the House, Tom Murphy.
"My guy on the water cannon got hit in the head with a liquor bottle, and he knew right where it came from," Perry said. "He just did it on instinct. That was not part of the plan."
Perry, who was a track star at Georgia, says he still gets calls every year during Georgia-Auburn week.
"I'm sorry it happened, but I'm not ashamed of it," Perry said. "It was just one of those crazy things."
 
Right now our fire-truck cum tailgate vehicle has a pump that handles 1000 gallons per minute....the possibilities are endless. While a part of me wants to use it for devious ends the other part wants nothing more than to soak down uga coeds.
 
My only question is why didn't this catch on? I remember that episode - I never laughed so hard when I saw the highlights.

We should be hosing them down every year they come to our house. As should their SEC brethren.
 
Reminds me of the bumper stickers after the '74 game in Athens. "Hairy Dogs stink when wet."
