Georgia football fans will get their first look at the 2008 edition of the Bulldogs when the annual G-Day game is held in Sanford Stadium on Saturday, April 5, at 2:00 p.m. The game will be televised live by CSS and will also be available live for GXtra subscribers at georgiadogs. com.

Washington-Wilkes fans may also get a look at former Tiger Casey Nickels who is playing tight end for the Bulldogs. Nickels, who was named the most outstanding walkon of 2006, wears No. 90 for UGA and is listed at 6-foot-4 and 240 pounds.

Without a doubt, the red-shirt sophomore, would really appreciate the support of his hometown at the game. The afternoon promises to be much less hectic than a regular game day with a smaller crowd and relaxed atmosphere. Tickets are $5 online or at the gate.

Proceeds from this year's game will go to the Interfaith Hospitality Network of Athens, a network of 13 Athens area churches and communities of faith providing shelter, meals and support for homeless families in crisis situations. This program continues an Athletic Association tradition begun in 1993 of donating proceeds from the G-Day game to a local charity or non-profit organization.

Georgia returns 45 lettermen and 19 of 26 starters from the Allstate Sugar Bowl squad that rolled up a 31-point victory over Hawaii.
