ATHENS, Ga. --- Want a game-day reminder or a free ticket offer from the Georgia Bulldogs? AT&T Inc. and the University of Georgia announced the launch of Mobile U, a wireless program to keep Bulldogs fans further connected to their favorite University of Georgia sports teams whether they’re at the game or on the go.
Fans can text DAWGS to 72645 to receive text alerts with game day reminders and the latest team statistics, updates and news for Bulldogs football, basketball, soccer, volleyball, tennis and several other sports. The alerts will also direct consumers to a Bulldogs-specific portal where they can find information and content from their favorite team. Standard text message rates apply.
“This is a great opportunity for Bulldogs fans to really get in the action and receive all the team news and information they could want,” said John Bateman, University of Georgia Athletics Association Director of Marketing. “Mobile U allows us to connect with our fans in new and unique ways – whether they’re in the stands or sitting at home in front of their big-screen TV.”
“We’re thrilled to give Bulldogs fans more ways to stay connected to their favorite team,” said Tim McGhee, Director, AT&T Corporate Sponsorships. “Mobile U is a great way to showcase AT&T mobile technology and our support for University of Georgia athletics.”
The University of Georgia is one of 22 collegiate athletic programs nationwide to participate in Mobile U, which is the largest wireless collegiate texting program of its kind. It’s the first wireless program to enable collegiate sports teams to use texting to deliver in-game activities, news alerts and content to wireless handsets, enhancing the fan experience and allowing teams to connect more effectively with their fans across the country.
