This is an incredible gesture by the Bulldogs in their game against Arkansas State.
Georgia is taking on the Red Wolves Saturday in Athens, Georgia. For Arkansas State head coach Blake Anderson, it is just his second game of the year on the sidelines since the passing of his wife, Wendy.
Unfortunately, Wendy passed away in August after a lengthy and heroic battle with breast cancer. Anderson has done his best to stay positive, even surprising his team by showing up unexpectedly to coach on the road in Week 2.

As a way to pay respect and honor Wendy’s legacy, Georgia is hosting a full-blown “pink out” for Saturday’s showdown. It is an awesome way to show support during a tough time, and the fans pulled it off remarkably well.
Here’s a look at some of the highlights of the pink out:
