ATHENS, Ga. – There were no washing-machine errors before Saturday afternoon’s Arkansas State at Georgia football game.
All that red and pink inside Sanford Stadium was by design.
Thousands of Georgia fans wore pink to honor the late wife of Red Wolves coach Blake Anderson, who died of breast cancer last month. In the second half of the Bulldogs’ 55-0 blowout, several Georgia students who had their backs painted came together to spell out “Remember Wendy.”
Wendy Anderson was only 49.
“I would like to say thank you for all who showed up today wearing pink or thinking pink,” Anderson said. “Those people didn’t know my wife, and they don’t know me. They didn’t have to do it, and I’m very grateful, honored and, honestly, overwhelmed.
