I would throw the stone that only people who lose to their rival feel this way but glass house and all.

As Isaac Newton said-"for every action there is an opposite and equal reaction"

The natural universe exists for oppostion. There is no yin without yang, no 'tang without the poon, no right without wrong, no left without right, no kama without sutra, no straight without the ghey.

No hate, but it doesn't really pay when the weak arse beaker bitches won't play you anymore because you left them for dead.

Be happy yours is in the SEC. It stinks having Tech be in the ACC because it limits our OOC games.

Rivalries only help or hurt coaches. It gives coaches something to hang their hat on when they beat their rival during shitty seasons, and conversely, it spells the boom for them when they lose to them during shitty seasons.

I haven't really missed having a true rival the last two years. Especially the idea of this contrived rivalry with Arky. I'm selling rivalries.

How does that limit your OOC Schedule? You have a home and home with Clemson, who had better OOC game than that this year in the SEC thats not a rival. The majority of the big boy OOC games are the 1st game of the season and the others are filler unless you have an OOC rival.Or are you saying because GT is OOC, Georgia's doesn't try to get better OOC games often.

Yes, rivalry games have higher attendance/viewership and therefore have more money spent on them in the communities. So it actually does pay off to have a rival.
