While no one wants to overlook the first two weeks of the season for the Tennessee football team, goodness, it's tough to not get excited about the Week 3 matchup with Georgia. That dance will take place at Neyland Stadium, but Georgia is ready to make it feel like a Dawgs' home game.
Wait, what? Yup, as it turns out, Georgia fans are planning to invade Knoxville and remind the Tennessee faithful that they know how to travel. The team over at DawgNation is planning to take over Knoxville 'in style' in September as they hope to watch UGA take down the Vols. It's safe to say that Josh Heupel and Co. will have other ideas:
DawgNation is invading Knoxville in style. Riverboat tailgate. Food. Drinks. Live shows. Brandon Adams & the crew will be on board. You don’t want to miss this.

Georgia fans are planning on 'invading Knoxville' for Week 3 vs. Tennessee
If anything, this is going to give Vols fans even more of a reason to pack the stadium and make sure Gunner Stockton has all sorts of issues trying to run the Georgia offense against a stingy Tennessee defense. That's not going to be easy, though, as expectations are high for UGA this campaign.
With the Preseason Top 25 coming out this week, Georgia is ranked No. 5 in the country, while Tennessee is checking in at No. 24. Obviously, things are going to change a little bit after the first two weeks of the season, with both teams focused on starting off 2-0.
That will set up a titanic clash of these SEC titans for the third week of the campaign and the conference opener for the Vols. Tennessee will have revenge on its mind after suffering some disheartening losses to the Dawgs in recent years. The fanbase will also take notice of his 'Knoxville invasion' talk and make sure those people making the trip from Athens are reminded that the Tennessee fanbase is among the best in the country.
Will Georgia sell out its ticket allotment and potentially sneak in a few more fans? Sure, that's always going to be the case. With that said, trying to take over a stadium usually backfires. UT supporters found this out the hard way in Columbus for the College Football Playoff - will the same be said for Georgia fans? We'll find out soon enough.
