So, it looks like our baseball team is shite again. Our basketball team was unanimously picked as a pre-season Tournament team and and this point we're hoping for maybe a home game in the NIT first round. Gymnastics has gone to shite. Football is on the right track, I believe, but that seems to be due to the sheer will power of our coaching staff fighting for every inch against our penny-pinching AD. I think equestrian has done decent this year? We're still good at tennis. Volleyball? Women's Soccer? I don't know.


fricking hell, McGarity has got to be fired sometime soon, right? For the amount of money that we haul in each year, we are so terribly mediocre that it's laughable. At this point, I'd be happy to see Damon Evans with a pair of panties on his head announced as our AD again.

We were most successful as an overall athletic department when Mr Panties was in Athens.

I know... I'm basically saying that we should sacrifice morals for W's. Tired of taking L's while we sit on the moral high ground.

I would be immoral in a heart beat for better results, no doubt. GM may be a bulldog by birth, but his UF ties have doomed us during his tenure.

I hate the high ground. No one else takes it.

I want championships from football and baseball, and tennis I guess? Softball is good, needs one nudge to get to that top spot.I cant comment on track and field. I have no clue what they do, but as a Georgia fan, I still live by the non NCAA sports in equestrian, hockey, and rugby and I want them to do good, although that has nothing to do with the AD.

This is Georgia.

Nobody should give a shite about Baseball, Basketball, Gymnastics, or Swimming.

The only reason we give a shite about these bullshite sports is because our football has sucked for so long.

As soon as we are back on top, as God intended, nobody will give a shite about these other "sports".

I grew up playing football and baseball, those are two sports that I still follow closely, both collegiate and professional. I also follow UGA basketball and would love to see us relevant again. The other sports I really don't follow at all, but it's nice to hear when they do well. I know that McGarity likes to go into the vault every night and do a Scrooge McDuck dive into all the fricking money that we save, but frick him. Improve our shitty facilities (we need to build a new basketball arena and baseball stadium, you can only polish turds so much) and stop getting cheap rent-a-coaches that you just rotate out every 3-4 years. frick you, Greg.

For one SEC Championship in football, you'd roast every tennis, baseball, swimming, and basketball coach in a hellfire.

Because you are a good person, just like the rest of us good people.

Or maybe I'm secretly a sadist?


Yes, football is everyone's favorite sport here. This is, at it's heart, a football forum. It is the sport that gets the most exposure and it is the sport for which everyone makes Hartman contributions. I actually might take a national title is basketball over an SEC football title, though?

You're a Georgia fan: you're a not-so-secret masochist.

Florida is our biggest rival, but lose a few more to Tech and they will become our biggest rival. We don't think about Tech because we've owned them for so long. Start losing a few more and that all changes.

Considering they own us like a rented mule, probably not. That's why we don't consider Tech our biggest rival, that and because they aren't in our conference. However, lose four or five in a row and you'll see that mentality change. We take it for granted because we've owned them.

Let me rephrase that. Are we Florida's biggest rival? Absolutely! Steve Spurrier when hired at Florida stated so unequivocally. Do they think of us as their biggest rival? Probably not because of the lopsided nature of the series over the last 20 years. You can bet they thought of us as their biggest rival when Dooley was beating their arse.

After one game it has already been determined that our baseball team is shitty...
