Calling All Dawg Fans: Dialing Up Victory on the Radio!
So, football season isn't quite here yet, but a true Georgia Bulldog never lets the offseason blues set in. You're itching for that Saturday morning ritual, that roar of the crowd, and Larry Munson's voice echoing in your ears (or maybe it's just Coach Kirby yelling at the refs, no judgment). Well, fret no more, my fellow Dawgs, because we're here to navigate the thrilling world of Georgia Bulldog football... on the radio!
What Radio Station Can I Listen To Georgia Football On |
But First, Why Radio?
In this age of fancy high-falutin' smartphones and whatnot, why subject yourself to the grainy glory of AM/FM radio? Well, let me tell you, there's something beautiful about the old-school way. It's pure, unadulterated Georgia Bulldog football commentary, minus the million notifications about your neighbor's cousin's cat. Plus, let's be honest, sometimes that cell service in Sanford Stadium is about as reliable as a kicker with the yips.
Tip: Revisit challenging parts.
Dialing in the Dawgs: Your Radio Roadmap
Now, onto the real reason you're here: finding the radio station that will blast your eardrums with the sweet sounds of Bulldog victories (and, occasionally, heartbreaking losses, but that's just part of the game, right?).
Tip: Pause, then continue with fresh focus.
The good news is, the University of Georgia has a whole Bulldog Radio Network, a glorious web of stations stretching across the state, ensuring you can catch the game no matter where you roam (well, as long as you roam within the borders of Georgia, maybe a few neighboring states if the reception is good).
Tip: Reading twice doubles clarity.
To find your designated Dawg station, you've got a couple of options:
QuickTip: Repeat difficult lines until they’re clear.
- The Official Word: Head over to the University of Georgia Athletics website (https://georgiadogs.com/sports/2017/6/23/bulldog-network-radio-affiliates), and they'll have a handy dandy list of all the Bulldog Radio Network affiliates.
- Local Knowledge: If you're already familiar with the Atlanta sports radio scene, then you probably know and love 680 The Fan (WRFG-FM). They're the self-proclaimed "Official Talk Station of the GA Bulldogs!", so you're guaranteed your fill of Bulldog banter and play-by-play.
Remember: Since the season isn't here yet, you might not be able to find live games on the radio just yet. But fear not, most stations will have replays of classic games or even Bulldog-themed talk shows to keep that Dawg fire burning bright.
How to Spot a Fake Fan (Just Kidding... Mostly)
Alright, so you've got the radio station dialed in, but here's a friendly PSA: If you can't tell the difference between a touchdown and a field goal by the radio commentary alone, you might be getting some strange looks from fellow Dawg fans. Brush up on the rules, listen to some past games, and become one with the flow of the game. Trust me, it'll make the experience that much better.
