We don't really have to say much, not really. It just seems important today, after watching the season open with a storm of Pissy Steve Spurrier Visor Throws, to note that perhaps no one on earth would have enjoyed it more than Thomas.

For years, football meant Athens, and Athens meant Thomas. This was his time of year in a way that it was for few Dawg fans, and I'll be thinking about him for the rest of this season and every one after. Red-faced, bourbon-enhanced, glad-handing Thomas, remembering everyone's name and shaking every hand as his love of the Dawgs proceeded to set his own hair on fire.

I'll miss him, and I know y'all will to. A toast to Thomas and to all of you, tonight, tomorrow, and every Gameday from here on out. Good fan, great friend, DGD.
