Hoops: Dawgs to Have Throwback Jerseys for Vandy Game

ATHENS, Ga. -- A tribute to the career of Hugh Durham - Georgia's winningest all-time basketball coach - is just one component of a weekend filled with nostalgia when the current Bulldogs play host to Vanderbilt on Saturday, February 18.

In addition, Georgia will unveil the "Throwback" version of its uniform as part of a program initiated by the Southeastern Conference and carried out by all 12 members on the weekend of Feb. 18. The Bulldogs will wear their throwback uniforms at home against Vandy (Feb. 18), South Carolina (Feb. 23) and at Mississippi State (Feb. 25).

Speaking of Throwback. Hugh was living large when he had Nique in the air and that bad ass Red Sports Coat on his back.

No word, if the throwback party will include bringing back the sodium lights, the stables, the stage, or the wooden seats to Stegeman. God willing that is all behind us.

Did you know that Steg hosted the NCAA Tourney's Mideast Regional in 1971? Back then the place was still revolutionary in its design. Photo below is from 1970s.
