With about 30 minutes until kickoff against Missouri Saturday, the filled-to-capacity Georgia football student section let out an overwhelming roar. Then the noise shifted into a chant as one of the several honored guests made his grand arrival.
Blooper, the high-wired mascot of the Atlanta Braves, walked in front of the student section and was welcomed by cheers and chopping. Hairy Dawg accompanied Blooper, fresh off a parade Friday celebrating the World Series champions.
The Braves’ mascot jumped around, took pictures with fans and interacted with Hairy Dawg. He wore his red No.
