Actor, Dawgs Fan Samuel L. Jackson Visits UGA Football Team

A regular practice became something way cool on Thursday in Athens, Ga.

Jamie Ponsoldt and his crew are shooting in Athens, but Samuel L. Jackson's Thursday visit had nothing to do with movies, and everything to do with college football.

According to a story in the Columbus Ledger-Enquirer, Jackson was in Athens to play golf with basketball coach Mark Fox. And he decided to drop by football practice, which is usually closed to the public.

Players were tweeting about His Coolness. Posing for photos with the team and head football coach Mark Richt.
