The thing about the article that really hits a chord is Michael Adams. Really says a lot without saying a lot. Here is the quote from the article that keeps us frustrated as Georgia fans.
Why the frick not? Why can't we be Alabama? I mean if guys like this are running things then it explains the mindset.

quote:
"I don't think Georgia's going to become Alabama," said Michael Adams, who served as Georgia's president from 1997 to 2013. "It's a different constituency, it's a different mindset, it's a much different state, a much more pluralistic state. There probably are some elements of what Coach Saban has done that will work at Georgia, and there's some elements that have been there a long time, through a number of coaches at Georgia, that I don't think will change."

UGA does not want to be Bama. Adams is an administrator concerned with education first. Athletics is extra curricular at UGA. That's not necessarily so at Bama and Auburn, where football is all they have to hang their hats on. Bama and Auburn are schools where Georgia kids have to go when they can't get into UGA. There's much more to the state of Georgia than college football, a NASCAR race track, and a rocket town.
UGA can be both a very strong academic institution and strong athletically, as Adams was trying to point out. We don't want football to drive the school, and it shouldn't. UGA should aspire to be the Stanford of the East rather than the Bama.

this is and always will be true...and why we will never be Bama...and we shouldn't strive to be in total...imho...Alabama is a great place and has some wonderful history and people...(my wife is from Montgomery)...BUT...that state and its people...in whole....do not hold a candle to the greatest state in the Union, the 13th colony...UGA is tFlagship...it should be representative of its people and population and land...
Alabama is not as good of a place..its just not...and they have nothing else to hang their hat on...literally...its college football...that is their greatest "thing"...we are better than that...Adams is making that point in his statement...he isn't saying we can't win Natty's and be great at all of our athletics...he's saying we don't want to be Bama...cause we are already better than they are (in whole)...my .02
