In segment 3, we get to know the real Greg McGarity, UGA Athletic Director, as he talks candidly about what it’s like to be the AD, scheduling non-conference games, student-athlete stipends and resources, and the naming of Dooley Field.

33N83W officially launches with a special interview with the legendary Coach Vince Dooley on his passion for gardening, the naming of Dooley Field at Sanford Stadium, and the 2019 football team. The show also features a conversation with Frank Ros, the 1980 National Championship Team Captain, who still wears the title of captain among his teammates, 39 years later, by keeping them connected throughout the years. Frank also discusses what made the 1980 team so unique, Herschel Walker, and his take on the 2019 football team.
