UGAAA Hawks Night

This past Sunday my UGA Athletic Association Marketing and Sales team went to lunch then the Hawks game! I intern as a Marketing & Group Sales intern where I am responsible for incoming and outbound ticket sales for Mens and Womens basketball, baseball, gymnastics, and football and assist in game-day events. Our boss, Kevin Welch, organized this event for us!

We met at the front of Butts Mehre at 11:30 and took a campus bus to Savage Pizza! We couldn't believe we were really taking a campus bus on the interstate, we didn't even know they went that fast! The way down to Atlanta was fun because we were all getting to know each other better and played Heads Up! If you have never played you definitely should- it is like Catch Phrase but it is an app for your phone so you can play in car rides! It is really entertaining and makes the ride go a lot faster.

We pulled up to Savage Pizza, a local pizza shop in Little Five Points, around 1 pm. We had a huge table out on the patio because it was so nice outside! They are known for their specialty pizzas, which include anything and everything. I order the same pizza every time- barbecue chicken, but some of my friends ordered something a little more interesting that I had never seen on a pizza- like the chicken cordon bleu pizza and the Mexican pizza! 
Chicken Cordon Bleu is large pizza on the far side- Roasted chicken, prosciutto ham, red onion, roasted red peppers, mozzarella and parmesan cheeses
 Pizza Buttafueco- Italian sausage, seasoned ground beef, Canadian bacon, pepperoni, mozzarella and parmesan cheeses
 My favorite- BBQ chicken! Roasted chicken, yellow onions, green peppers, applewood smoked bacon, and Monterey jack cheese
 Here is a picture of our group on the patio! 

After lunch we headed to Philips Arena for the game! The Hawks started out strong in the first quarter, then let the Hornets catch up a little, but the Hawks stayed strong and won 87-76. Bazemore and Horford had a really good game! 


Everyone was really tired on the way back so a lot of people slept most the way. This was such a great bonding experience to get to know everyone because not everyone is in the office at the same time every week. I really enjoyed it, my only complaint is that I wish we did this earlier in the year like maybe last semester so we could have been better friends all year!
