aaaahhhhhh so that's why you hate us so much eh?
To be fair, I hated you before. Then I went to UGA, grew to like Athens and became a little more civil. I graduated the year before 2010 and Cam, and it threw me right back into hatred.
I can understand re: Fran's comments, which always seem at least somewhat harsh. But, with such a strong pro career, I still think it's a little weird UGA doesn't claim him more.

Meh. Terrell Davis was an NFL star but didn't do much here. We tend to really memorialize the ones that accomplished a lot while on campus. But like you said I don't know why fran doesn't have a stronger legacy.
One of the best little-known stories from our history is in the '59 auburn game which won us the SEC title. It was a 4th down late in the game with us trailing. Fran gathered up our huddle and literally drew up a play in the grass which we completed for a TD.
