In simpler terms, we rival SC for SEC East title more than anyone else for the past 5 years.
Dictionary definition:
1.a person or thing competing with another for the same objective or for superiority in the same field of activity
No other team has made UGA drop in rankings or keep us from opportunities for a natty than SC. If that doesn't make them a rival I don't know what does.
Are you saying history makes someone a rival? Even though we've beaten Tech 13/14 years you consider them someone we sweat?
I am by no means taking away from FLA or Auburn or even Tech rivalry. But Spurrier despises us and knows how to beat us better than anyone else, thus keeping us from our primary goal: a natty. So yeah, they're a rival.

Tech is our biggest rival....I don't care how often we beat Florida if we lose to Tech on a regular basis a coach is gonna get canned...I know a lot of folks like myself who aren't UGA alumni but UGA fans don't consider Tech our biggest rival but in my opinion most alumni do...Florida is a VERY close second,

Every SEC team is our rival plus Tech. Vanderbilt is our rival. No seriously, frick Vandy. I hate those pompous turds.

And? The last 5 years, using a data pool of 5 (and recently 6) other teams, SC has been one of the best teams. That makes them a big rival? They just happen to be better than UF and UT over that time span. Rivalries aren't forged based on the last 5 years.

Ok..so by that definition every team we play is a rival.

Well that is just absurdly false. For starters, you're ignoring over 100 years of games and only focusing on 2005-present.
Second, your premise simply isn't correct. Richt's losses against a spurrier-led SC:
07- This is the only one that has any merit, but it's really only half-merit because of UT. We lost the east because we lost to SC AND UT. Kiffin has as much blame as our not winning the east as spurrier does.
10- we lost 6 games. SC didn't cost us a thing
11- We lost to SC and still won the east. Let's assume for hypotheticals that we beat SC anyway. We still would've gotten shellacked by LSU, so again spurrier cost us nothing, other than maybe a few spots in the postseason rankings, which are meaningless if you're not in the top 10 anyway.
12- Nope, still were 5 seconds from a national title despite the loss.
14- TBD
So again, there is only 1 year out of 5 that you can claim that spurrier has cost us anything, and it wasn't just SC, it was a combination of SC and UT.
quote:

Seriously? There's many, many things that make a rival. A team being good for 5 years isn't one of them. Nobody said SC isn't a heated game with the SEC east at stake. It is, duh. But they are no higher than 5th on our list of rivals.
quote:
Are you saying history makes someone a rival?
history is one part of the whole equation, yes. Obviously. Anyone who doesn't recognize that simply isn't very intelligent.
quote:

Why are you changing the phrasing of the discussion? I never said anything about "sweating" tech. They're still our biggest rival.
quote:

I don't put much stock into what spurrier did against goff and donnan, considering most people that decade beat us. Btw he is 5-5 against UGA at SC.
quote:
thus keeping us from our primary goal: a natty
Already proven largely false.
quote:
So yeah, they're a rival.
Yes, they're our 5th biggest rival at the moment. Do you think they'll still be a rival when spurrier leaves?

SC is a rival to UGA and they made that clear in 2005 when they hired The Old Ballsack. All the locals were yelling and screaming that he has our number. No one has gotten that message through to Mark Goff/Richt but they are. They hate us along the same lines as Clemson. SC could go 2-10 and if they beat UGA and Clemsucks they would give the coach another chance. They play us like a rival and we need to do the same.

It's pretty important that you guys beat us this year. I'm not even flaming. Strength of schedule is more important than ever and with the East being down, you'll want us to be good again soon.
Please. Help us get rid of CPJ and you'll have an actual rival again.
I feels it.
Also, we don't actually need your help. We're gonna derp all over the field all year. I just think the loss to Georgia might clinch it.

why don't you post that question on the SC board and see if they agree. Spoiler: they don't.

We're 5-5 over the last 10 years.

Spurrier won't be there much longer. 2-3 years tops. He is too old and if he can't bust through soon and win a Title with them he'll just retire.
Agree. He turns 70 this spring. And they aren't going to break through. He'll call it a day in a couple of years at most.
I'm actually surprised that he would stay in that shite-hole of Columbia when he's got more than enough money to have a nice retirement on a beach in south Florida where he's from.

You bring up a very interesting question Lucius.
To the people who think SC is such a big rivalry with UGA, are they a big rival to Tennessee? Consider this, UT didn't offer him for college so he went to UF. As coach at UF, he owned UT only about a game or two less than he owned us. And now at SC, he is 5-5 against UT (same as he is against us). And that also includes winning 3 in a row from 2010-2012. Sound familiar?
So for those convinced that mean ol SC is such a major and huge rivalry for UGA...are they a huge and major rival to Tennessee as well?

WG you've gotten pretty angry in your posts the last couple months. I don't remember you like that last year.
What I was saying is no other team has beaten us or had our number like SC. When a Coach knows how to beat you every year, then we need to take them seriously. That was our most important game IMO. We should have won, we didn't.
I don't wanna be like SC or FLA or Auburn and screw the season as long as we beat Clemson Georgia or Alabama.
Focus should be East, SEC, Natty. If one particular team finds a way to beat us time and again and threatens our plans then how is that not a rival? Are we arguing semantics? Do you just not like the word?

CNB is good people, I dont understand what point you are trying to make here. Just because he likes to post on the Georgia board that means he considers UGA a rival?

10 yrs ago they only got kids in state that we wouldn't or couldn't take. While we were raping what talent SC had. Now they keep their kids and get some of ours. They've gone from moral victory parodies to handling us pretty well.
Worst part, honestly believe a 2 TD Dawg victory finishes SCU's season and puts SOS into retirement.
I don't know where they rank but I don't see how you can say they're not a rival. I can tell you I HATE losing to them.

I hate when UGA loses to anybody. I hated the loss to Vandy last year but that doesnt make Vandy UGAs rival. Some of you need to learn the difference between a good team that is a big game most years, and a "rival."

Exactly. I don't know who to hate more anymore. Used to be UT when they were decent. Now it's definitely Awbarn. Not around many USCe fans. Maybe they can't find their way out of the state.

Pretty sure I know what a rival is and SCU is now one. Comparing SCU to a fluke Vandy win a non-starter imo. I hate FU and AU. But losing to SCU or Tech is different to me- sux cause its not supposed to happen.
Posted on 9/18/14 at 12:29 am to Charlestondawg
You know...I've led the chants against USCe not being a real rivalry, but if considering it a rival makes Richt prepare better/as much as Spurrier than I'm all for it.
