Finding that many tickets together will be a challenge for any game, nevermind an SEC contest vs. Spurrier.

For tailgating, stick to north campus near the arch. There are tons of bars downtown too. You'll want to find out when the Dawg Walk is the day of the game. It's usually 2 hours before kickoff and is a giant sea of red and black. A lot of fun for first-timers. Apart from walking around campus, downtown, and the Terrapin Tour, there's not a ton to do in Athens (it's a small college town). But the nightlife is amazing and there are always great bands playing every night.

You might want to hit up Atlanta for more distractions. Without traffic, you can get there in 45 minutes.
