re: Do y'all consider Clemson a rival?

Talking out of both sides of your mouth on this one.

No, you just pick and choose what you want to read. Reading comprehension, use it.

Earlier you said that you can hate a team more but Tech is still the biggest rival.

---

Yeah, and that's correct. What's your issue with that? SOMEbody CAN hate someone more than tech, likely as a result of where they live or their age. But tech is still our biggest rival.

quote:

You claim USC and ND to big rivalry. They don't even share a time zone

---

I only mentioned that because of your absurd notion that UGA/gt isn't the biggest because we're not in the same conference. I noticed you didn't mention UF/FSU or SC/Clemson, why not? Those teams are in different conferences and they DO share a time zone, are they qualified to be biggest rivals?

Well it's getting exhausting debating with you. A sigh is in order now and then.

quote:

---

So by your reasoning, we have a bigger rivalry than Bama-Barn because their fan bases are the exact same?

---

No Dammit, quit only picking and choosing what you want to remember and read everything I'm saying. Here, I'll C&P the main post again for you. This time, take a deep breath and focus all your efforts on reading and comprehending what I'm saying. I know you can do it.

But I think most importantly, you have to look at it at a deeper level. With UF, we may not outwardly acknowledge it but we do have SOME similarities between the fanbases. Sure they make fun of our red pants and we make fun of their jorts. But both schools like to party, have great athletics, are big 6 SEC members, and again I know NOBODY will actually admit it but there is at least SOME modicum of mutual respect. Not so with tech.

-Look at the damn name of the rivalries, one is "clean old fashioned HATE", the other is a frickin party
-UGA/UF fans intermingle and party for a week. I have never ever seen this at a tech game
-There are more fights at the tech game than I see anywhere else. Back in the day of trains we even followed their players back to their train and pelted them with rocks and other debris. Worst thing that typically happens in jax is a fight at the landing.
-And I think to sum this all up nicely, we are just fundamentally different. They're urban, we're rural. They're nerdy, we're not. They're antisocial and awkward, we're not. We drink beer, they drink zima. We play sports, they play D&D. They're ugly. They're annoying. Their stadium is small and shitty, ours is big and awesome. Their campus is in the heart of the ghetto, ours is the best college town in America. They are essentially the opposite of our entire way of life. Yeah I hate florida, but I can at least a little bit of myself in the UF fanbase.

---

And you may disagree with what I said above about us and florida, but after living in Bham for 2 years, I saw MANY bama fans pull for Auburn in 2010 (and Auburn fans for bama in 2011) to "keep the trophy in Alabama". I doubt you would see any UGA fans pull for tech or vice versa in a similar situation.

Just go ahead and admit you're wrong. This will be much less painful for you.

---

I'm not wrong, and the only painful thing in here is trying to refute your asinine and scattered attempts at making a point.

I am man enough to admit I was half wrong, and that it was not you who said that. I was responding to this comment:

quote:

Tech game lost ALOT of meaning when they left the conference

---

but it was not made by you. So my apologies.

Well I mean that was the only thing I will relent on, but my point remains the same it was just directed at someone else, not you.

But yes, that's probably the best for all involved. Only it'd be

1A tech
1B florida

I dont even consider GT a rival anymore. I judge it by the game atmosphere and the back and forth competitiveness. UF, AU and I dare even say SC has become much more thrilling than our yearly beatdown of Tech.
