I don’t understand why cocknfire doesn’t understand.
I’ve never quite understood why the meanderings of Stewart Mandel and his absurd ranking system for college football teams upsets Georgia fans so much — but it does. And so to answer Mandel’s ridiculous way of ranking the teams — how many people in Montana would recognize a given teams helmet — a couple of otherwise generally sensible Georgia bloggers are actually sending a Georgia helmet up to Montana.
At least I’m generally sensible. So I’ve got that going for me.
Get The Picture 
SCar hasn’t been in the arena, so no wonder he doesn’t get it.

Why send the helmet to Montana? To prove that idiot Mandel doesn’t know sh!t, that’s why!

Being called generally sensible might qualify as the nicest thing anybody ever said about me. I doubt my wife would agree with that assessment though.

As much as I enjoy Cocknfire’s commentary, you’d think South Carolina, of all programs, would understand the disappointment at not being viewed on par with other programs.
They practically invented the ‘hey, what about us!?!’ meme.

It’s probably hard to understand being disrespected when you engender not even a modest level of respect amongst your peers to begin with.

My response would be this:
1.) It’s not as if we’re consumed with this. It’s fun and it also proves Mandel isn’t quite as smart as he thinks he is. How can you go wrong there?
2.) Why are you concerned that we’re concerned? Wait a minute, doesn’t that mean that you’re concerned (with the rankings) as well? Think on that…

Send up an “11 win season” ring with the UGA helmet, see if anyone recognizes that sparkling piece of fake juice.

Times like these call for a traveling press secretary* to respond to cocknfire:
“Kiss my ass. Montana will soon be a Holy site for the Georgia people. Show some respect.”
*Gorka: “Kiss my ass. This is a Holy site for the Polish people. Show some respect.” Gorka also told Politico’s Jonathan Martin to “shove it.”

would that matter to South Carolina fans? They seem to think that when they hired Spurrier, they were entitled to claim his Florida accomplishments as their own.
you dont seem them claiming his NFL coaching accomplishments, however, which just proves that even South Carolina fans have SOME working brain cells.

isn’t that the damn truth. i’ve never heard people brag about what a coach did at a rival school so much.

As with any good experiment…..why not set up some sort of placebo helmet for good measure. Hate to suggest complicating anything….but if some yahoo in MT says he’s a college fb fan…says he’s doesn’t recognize the G…why not show them one of Mandels elite teams. Maybe not buy a helmet…but just some kinda quality control in the experiment. What do you think?

Several years ago I saw MT fans at a game with a friggin’ snowstorm raging. They were crowded, singing their heads off and looked like they didn’t give a flying crap what the rest of the world was doing. Except for the snow, it kinda brought a Sanford memory tear to my eyes. Makes them CFB learned to me.

South Carolina learned to not care what others think about them after realizing how seldom people actually thought about them at all.
