At least on executive is calling on Saturday’s highly anticipated Georgia/Alabama game to be postponed due to gas shortages in Georgia.
Calling it a “question of social responsibility,” Tex Pitfield, CEO of Saraguay Petroleum, told WGAU’s Tim Bryant, “If I was governor, I?d cancel the game.” Pitfield: “That gas needs to be used for people to go to work, and for people to take care of their families. I did the same thing with my tennis team yesterday. I told them that I wasn?t going to start wasting gas to go play tennis.”
Via spokesman, Georgia governor Sonny Perdue soundly rejected the idea. Meanwhile, University of Georgia police chief Jimmy Williamson “is warning that gas supplies in the Athens area could be vulnerable this weekend.”
