Dawg Nation flocked to Lumpkin Street and Sanford Stadium Saturday, Jan. 16 for a parade and ceremony in celebration of the Georgia Bulldogs’ national championship win. After 41 years since the last win, fans gathered on campus as if it was a regular fall game day in Athens despite the bitter January cold.
