ATLANTA – All right folks time for some laughs, if we weren’t enjoying ourselves already. After all to “have fun” is Dabo Swinney’s 16th and final commandment posted in the team meeting room. But for me fun is commitment No. 1, even ahead of being a good teammate and citizen.

The following are images are taken by a professional photojournalist, myself, from the sidelines prior to the Georgia Tech game.

Have a better caption idea? Feel free to contribute, but keep in mind this isn’t HBO.

ESPN’s Atlanta Bureau.

I love the care they took in rigging up the blue tarpaulin. Where is Bear Grylls when you need him? It looks like the end result of one of my attempts to fold bed sheets. Who stepped away from that and thought "Dude, that'll work."

At least they took the to care brush away any wet leaves from last fall.

The secret behind Richard Jackson’s 53-yard field goal. Tiger Illustrated’s Larry Williams doubles as a Swinney field operative.

Directive from ESPN headquarters: “The game cannot end before 11 p.m. Rolling over directly to Sports Center is imperative!”

Pregame warm-ups gone awry

I’ve always wondered what would happen if one of those cables snapped. Is this camera really a necessity?

As his teammates warm-up, Georgia Tech’s Dan Voss demonstrates remarkable concentration in blocking all outside distraction to study this fall’s top designer tank tops

Our home away from home. That’s Gene Sapakoff and The State’s Paul Strelow hoping it doesn’t rain and wondering if should have packed a tarp. (Wave hello to Anderson’s Greg Wallace, and Atlanta’s Jeff Schultz in the background).

Is everyone straining their necks (note the police officer on the left, Clemson fans in the stands) for Dabo Swinney or ESPN’s Erin Andrews?

Former Tiger standout Billy Davis drops by at half in mirror shades and a smart-looking suit to let Swinney borrow some Secret Service listening devices … remember Whisper 2000?

NBC's 4 (Greenville) Geoff Hart: "Get this freak away from me!"
