Georgia is a state full of tourist attractions from the top to the bottom of the state. From the mountains of Rome to the University of Georgia in Athens, to the metropolis of Atlanta, on to the shores of Savannah, there are several cities across the state of Georgia that offer much in the way of tourism.

The Georgia Bulldogs are coming off an 8-5 season, one in which they went just 4-4 in SEC play. Certainly, it's not up to the standards that head coach Mark Richt has set for his program, as he's 90-27 in his nine years coaching the Bulldogs.

I preview the Bulldogs below, showing which players they will put on the field offensively and defensively. I also list more predictions on this team in terms of the SEC. Offense: The Bulldogs return ten starters offensively, but the one starter they need to replace is at quarterback which is also concerning to any...

However, if your idea of a vacation involves camping along a trail, fishing in a cold mountain stream or lake, while carrying a backpack, then there is are a number of opportunities in Georgia for this as well. Someone once said, "The best way to see a country, unless you are pressed for time, is to travel on foot."
