And some people think they’ve participated in an exciting one-night adventure.

Imagine piling into a car with Georgia players Joe Cox, Michael Moore, and Knowshon Moreno, among others, and heading to Atlanta for a night.

The group left on a whim last year and ended with a memory for life.

Cox and Moore only laugh when you ask for details. They’re not giving any up. But everyone knows what goes on in the big city when the sun goes down.

And it’s the trips and moments like these, Moore says, that he’ll miss most when his playing time in Athens is over.

“Yeah that was a wild one,” Moore said.

“That was what the college life is all about. It was a quarterback, receiver, running back, offensive lineman and defensive end. We’re all different positions but we all got along real well. One day we just said, ‘Alright, we’re going to Atlanta.’ We went out there, had a great time and we had nothing but memories and just jokes. We can remember that and laugh, I can talk to Joe or call Knowshon to this day and laugh about that trip.”

Moore and Cox join 21 other seniors to be honored before this weekend’s Kentucky game. The underclassmen form a line, a “gauntlet” as described by coach Mark Richt, for their teammates to run out through.

“It means a lot to me, it means a lot to the seniors and I think it means a lot to their underclassmen to play the best they could possibly play to let these seniors leave our field with a great memory,” Richt said.

“It’s going to be good memories no matter what because the pregame ceremony is awesome. I love how we line the field with our underclassmen, and the seniors get to run through them and see the faces of their teammates and kind of have the flashbacks of all the great memories with their teammates.”

Each senior’s family members wait at the end of the line to pose for a picture and to speak to Richt.

“It’s definitely going to be a mixed emotion game,” Cox said. “It’s my last and I will be excited for senior day, but at the same time you have to be sad that it’s your last chance. You want to end on the right note.”

For all players asked, their time in Athens seemed to begin just yesterday. Going through their first summer workout or initial position meeting doesn’t feel very long ago.

“When you come into the meeting room and you’re sitting in the back row, everybody in the front tells you how fast it will go,” Cox said.

“When you go through that first year, you don’t think about the point where you become a senior, and it does come fast. It’s something where you have to take advantage of all your opportunities and enjoy everything while you can.”

Added Moore: “I remember everyone would always tell you, all the older guys would say it goes by so fast. But you don’t really think about it until it really hits you, right about now. Even now it still hasn’t really settled on me, that Saturday will be the last time running out into Sanford Stadium and seeing all the fans and stuff.”

Going out on a high note by beating Kentucky is all players are talking about. A win does more than give the seniors something to remember, but also enhances the potential bowl Georgia will play in and secures a second place finish in the SEC Eastern division.

Moore says he’ll remember everything about his last game “Between the Hedges.”

But it’s what he took part in outside of Sanford Stadium, practices, meetings, trips, down time with friends and everything else that he’ll treasure forever.

“I mean, I feel like there are a lot more memories off the field than on the field,” he said. “We can go back and put the film on and watch games, but the off the field stuff, you can’t really replay. But you can tell the story about it. Things like going out with friends or taking a trip to Tennessee or my freshman year a lot of guys came down to Ft. Lauderdale with me for spring break.

“It’s all about that – building memories with the guys. I have lifelong relationships now. I can call every once in a while to check up on those guys. It’s really comforting knowing you have a group of people you can always count on and know whenever there is free time you can meet up and catch up with each other.”

The relationships have been built and will remain. Georgia will carry on, with another senior class leaving next season. And Atlanta will still be an hour down the highway, ready to build another memory.

And no, non-players still won’t catch many details.
