Convenient, considering UGA had to get a garbage time touchdown to even get points on the board.

35-7, but yeah totally even.

I can't think of a team that has on multiple occasions recently benefitted from "luck" against us. Sure there was AU '13, but that was clearly an exception and not the rule considering how the series has gone the last 15 years.

UT has seemed to benefit from our injuries, but again I dont' know if I'd necessarily call that luck, especially considering it's only resulted in 1 win of late.

I can't speak for djs but I imagine he's talking about our safety suffering a concussion and giving up a long bomb on 4th down which allowed you to kick the GW field goal.

No concussion; no AU win.

No one is saying South Carolina only won that game because of luck. Obviously, you beat us badly. But you are focusing in on one measly game in nearly a quarter century in which you fielded a decent team.... and even then, Georgia won the East and was within one play of winning a National Title.

But over the course of 24 seasons, Georgia ought to have a better record than 15-9 against the Gamecocks.

You all have only enjoyed seven seasons in 24 years in which your team won more than 7 games. Like I said, it just seems odd that Georgia has lost to S. Carolina on 9 occasions.

No shite. That was one of your two lucky wins. Auburn only seems to beat Uga with cam or luck.

I would assume it is b/c 8 points = one possession.

So you are saying there is a difference between being fortunate and being lucky? I don't agree.

For what it is worth, I do not think Bama was lucky to win those games. Every team with an adequate scouting department knows that Chavis' defense is vulnerable to the underneath throw while in prevent mode. It's called third and Chavis for a reason.

Auburn has more random shite break their way than any team deserves.

*ETA: Honey Badger makes that tackle in 2012 if he is not dismissed from the team, but that wasn't luck either.

The '14 Bama/LSU game saw Bama benefit from great starting field position when the KO went OOB, but they still had to drive down the field some 50+ yards with less than one minute to go to tie and THEN had to score and hold on D in OT. That game saw some good fortune benefit Bama, but it wasn't lucky that they won.

You give up a big play to lose the game but a penalty flag takes it back - you got lucky.


sooo.. pretty much exactly what allowed Bama to only need a field goal? got it.

They've had their fair share, but it appears to be running out lately. They didn't win a single SEC home game last year and finished last in the division.

Can't think of anyone. Actually, A&M works quite hard to be defeated.

I swear they must teach this response to all 12 year old 1st Graders in Bama schools.
