The HLN Network visited Athens on Friday along with former University of Georgia wide receiver Hines Ward to prepare for the Bulldogs game against South Carolina on Saturday.

On Friday morning, HLN broadcast live from Sanford Stadium with former Atlanta Falcons defensive back and HLN correspondant Coy Wire was joined by Ward, Georgia cheeleaders, dance teams and Hairy Dawg for a barbecue.
