Why are Richt teams so good at revenge games against Auburn?

2005 - Auburn beats Georgia on a late 4th and 17 conversion to ruin Georgia's control of their own SEC destiny.
2006- unranked Georgia routs #5 Auburn on the Plains
2010- Fairly and co. rough up the team with their thuggish antics
2011- Georgia routs Auburn 45-7 at home
2013- Auburn converts one of the most iconic plays in SEC history on way to a SEC Championship
2014- Georgia routs #9 Auburn in Athens to end their outside title hopes.
I can't think of another team besides Tech where Richt has such a mental edge.

Auburn has lost control of Mark Richt.

Because Auburn is never good 2 years in a row.

Because it is Georgia's Super Bowl

Auburn beats UGA in entertaining fashion when it matters most (2004,2010,2013).
Unfortunately, UGA wins pretty big when it doesn't.

Has very little to do with Richt and a lot more to do with Auburn's inability to sustain success.
They've historically never been able to string together 2 consecutive elite seasons.

I think you can trace it back to the year Larry killed his father

We only play well when it doesn't really matter.

Richt is actually pretty good in revenge games against all teams, I do believe.
And thus - Fear The Richt, Bama.

So you're taking solace in the fact that Georgia kicks your arse because Georgia cares more?
OK.

Well, let's see, 2 of those years got Auburn to a national title game (foreign to UGA) the other got AU to an undefeated season (ditto).
Sooo, yeah, I think my point stands.

Don't you know they lost to A&M thus didn't care about the DSOR. Gus probably had the guys playing checkers instead of practicing

HECK no and I defy you to provide a link where I even slightly hinted that.
We care like Hayull against South Carolina. It's just that Sandstorm
And the OBC, of course.
