Those wacky southerners.ATLANTA -- The gas shortage suddenly got serious; college football in the Deep South serious.
A petroleum executive suggested Thursday that Gov. Sonny Perdue should cancel Saturday's football game between Georgia and Alabama.
Tex Pitfield, president and CEO of Saraguay Petroleum in Atlanta, said in a radio interview there might not be enough gas in the Athens area for all of the football fans driving to the game.
"That gas needs to be used for people to go to work, and for people to take care of their families," Pitfield told WGAU in Athens.
