On Saturday, the Georgia Bulldogs defeated Texas A&M in what was the final home game in Athens for all of the club’s seniors.
After the hard-fought win, many of the seniors were understandably filled with emotion and took to Twitter to show their appreciation for Dawg Nation.
Kicker Rodrigo Blankenship, for instance, took the opportunity not only to thank the fans, but also acknowledge his newfound place as UGA’s all time leading scorer.
#RespectTheSpecs Thank you Dawg Nation for everything! 🙌🏼 #UnfinishedBusiness https://t.co/4fvsFMedai

Wide receiver Lawrence Cager, who only spent one year with the Dawgs after he began his career in Miami, also expressed his gratitude.
The energy in Sanford Stadium is undoubtedly electric. I wish that wasn’t my last one and if I could go back in time to the beginning and do it again, there isn’t another school I would rather choose. Thank you Dawg Nation for all the great moments this past year! #GoDawgs

Running back Brian Herrien also showed love after the team’s Twitter account posted a tweet honoring him.
Been real ❤️🤞🏾 https://t.co/CnJiUiA7fU

All in all, it was a reflective day in Sanford Stadium as the seniors played their last home game. Now, they gear up for a stretch run in a season where all of their goals-yes, even the national championship-remain in front of them.
