re: Is this the classiest NCG of all time?

Not too much vitrol here but neither fan base is exactly classy. No fan base in the SEC really is.

In general this game has a buildup of a week as opposed to the playoffs that have 4-5 weeks of layoff. That makes a big difference in the trash talk department.

Also it seems both fan bases are pretty happy to be at this point. Both are excellent teams, but have in many ways surpassed their own expectations. UGA is easy to see why and Bama fans saw cracks in the amour late in the season. That lowered their expectations. I don’t expect neither fan base to melt exaggeratedly after the game for that reason.
