What college football means to me

Now this is a quote I can get behind.

Amen to that.

Which games on Georgia’s schedule qualify for you as great by that definition?

    Florida, Auburn, and Tech, our traditional rivals.

    There is no end to my hate for our traditional rivals. In fact, I want them all to be relatively successful every year, so when we beat them, WE CRUSH THEIR FUCKING DREAMS!!!

    As for our geographic rivals, I don’t hate them as much as I hope none of them are ever successful at anything. For the past 20 years outside of a few occurrences, that’s been a job well done by Tennessee and Sakerlina. However, Clemson’s success eats at my soul because there is no fucking reason on God’s green earth why Clemson should have two recent national titles and we’re going on 40 fucking years.

    Florida, Auburn, Tech. Order depends on the year/era. Tech may be the only one that is completely independent of how good (or, perhaps more descriptively, bad) they are.

    Alabama has started feeling that way, but I know it’s only temporary. Just too many painful, hugely meaningful losses to the same team in the course of a little more than a decade not to feel that way right now.

    Tech would be completely irrelevant and not cross my mind at all if they weren’t so pathetically obsessed with Georgia, those guys hate us more than they love their team. Again, only word to describe the shrinking tech fan base is pathetic.

    At what level of visceral hate is this ad feeling towards the university that plays 12 men…..any way, there is no hate for any university that UGA plays against (no matter the sport, mens/women) barners (deep personal reasons), FU (#FTMF), north ave. abysmal trade school (just because)…..bammers are creeping in cause UGA needs to win one, here, there, anywhere….

    aubrin
    slimy reptiles
    insects
    The reason I have them in that order is because the last game I saw in person as a student was in 1977 when aubrin came to Sanford and won. I didn’t mind losing as much as it just pissed me off when those bozos started ripping up big pieces of the hedges. I’ve hated aubrin ever since.

    The reptiles come before the insects because it’s just too hard to take the insects seriously these days. As someone who grew up in Southern California I also have a visceral hatred of notre dame but I can’t really count them as a rival for the Dawgs.

    Loved the quote by the way.

      And I would be utterly furious if Saban either retired or noticeably lost a step before we beat Bama.

      I want to take on a top notch Saban Bama team and beat their asses.

      If he does retire before that happens, I hope we run the score up on them as bad as we can every time we play them till the end of time.

    For the week of the game I’ll have it like this:
    florida, auburn, ut, south fucking kackalakey, SEC referees, and the cosplay warriors.
    I hate them, their questionable ancestry, their ugly and ill mannered children, the squalid hovels where they live, and all things related to their menial existence. I hate them all and I spectacularly hate them whenever we square off on Saturdays.
    I hate them for the foul mouthed, alcohol swilling Mr. Hyde they cause me to morph into as surely as the Rougarou turns with the full moon.
    Bama? Good team, good coach. There is no shame losing to a team of that caliber. See “SEC Referees” above.
    LSU? Caught lightning in a bottle this year, but they play big boy football and I love my family on the other side of the river.
    I used to hate Notre Dame.
    Clemson? Cakewalk schedule, Dabo’s a goober. But no real hate there.
    Man I hope we get a season this year….

        “Well, if that is your reasoning you need to hate” Southern Cal, Holy Cross, Navy, and something called Savannah A. C. I had to draw the line somewhere and 10 seemed a reasonable number. (I could’ve drawn it at 32, that’s how many times we’ve played LSU.)

          I actually do hate USC, but for another reason: We’ve played them 3 times, and each time we had to go out to L. A. to play them. And they still won’t play a home and home with us. McGarrity obviously scheduled UCLA because he couldn’t get USC.

    Del Conte is correct. The intensity of the rivalries are what makes college football great. All of the emphasis on playoffs and championship trophies are making the sport less good.

    Do y’all remember the year when Bama lost their biggest rivalry game (a game that used to really matter), missed a chance at a conference title, but then got the opportunity to get themselves a big shiny trophy and crush the hopes of the team who did win the conference in last few minutes of the national title game?

    I remember. It wasn’t that long ago.

    FU and UT the most for me with Auburn close behind. I have to admit I’m getting a little hate up for Bama too. The Tide kept the Dawgs from winning two national titles in the last 7 seasons and knocked us out of the playoff in 2018. Not to mention we lost the SECCGs and that title to them twice. LSU I’m starting to dislike too.

      This is a more concise way to say what I said above. I’m gonna steal it. If the game is named, it’s a real rivalry. If it’s not, are series of geographic convenience.

      Florida (World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party), Auburn (Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry), and the NATS (Clean Old-Fashioned Hate) are real rivalries.

      Clemson, Tennessee, and South Carolina are series of geographic convenience.
