ATLANTA — Forgive family, friends and neighbors for being less than enthused by your New Year’s festivities. Double that forgiveness for any odd barking you hear from company, young and old.
And finally, forgive the delirium throughout the evening by those with their attention elsewhere. It’s not the spiked eggnog. It’s college football. It’s Georgia trying to achieve something fans considered a fantasy for decades.
For those less versed with this sport that prompts such absurdity, the Georgia Bulldogs are playing at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in the College Football Playoff against the Ohio State Buckeyes on New Year’s Eve. The game kicks off at 8 p.m., aligning it to end just before the ball drops in Times Square (or Underground Atlanta) to ring in 2023.
