Youre saying that UGA /USC was a better rivalry than UGA/Auburn or UGA/Florida for the 122 years from the first time UGA and USC played football until Muschamp showed up in 2016 and the Oldest Continuous Rivarly in the Deep South and the World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party only became better games after 2016??
No one is saying it was better during the history of football, guy. I'm saying UGa/USC was better, as a series, from 2000-2015 than UGa/Auburn or UGa/UF during the same time period. I've continuously qualified the time period.
I couldn't give a shite less about games played in 1930, when we were in a different conference.

From 2000-2015 UGA is:
9-7 vs SC. 10 of the 16 games were by a TD or less. Yes, it was a competitive series during that time frame.
10-6 vs AU. 9 of the 16 games decided by a TD or less. About the same level of competition as SC.
5-11 vs UF. 9 of the 16 games decided by a TD or less. UGA lost more but the games had as many close calls as the other two series. About the same level of competition, but since UGA was on the losing side it makes the rivalry stronger for us than the other two.
UF and AU have more history and were very close to the same level of competitiveness as SC was over the time period you suggested. You can see why those are viewed as better rivalries even over that time.

What you wrote was that the UGA/USC series was a better series than UGA/UF and UGA/Auburn prior to Will Muschamp being hired at USC. You did not say it was better from 1991 until Muschamp was hired or while Spurrier was at USC prior to Muschamp, you wrote that it was a better series up until Muschamp was hired, which is categorically not true, either way. The UGA/AUburn series during the era was more competitive and the UF/UGA series more meaningful....
