Really weird obsession

Matt Stafford won the Super Bowl last year and I don’t remember GA fans claiming UGA football greatness because of his win

Because they've had awful seasons, with some very marginal success last year since he left.

Oh and they suck at basketball too.

Well, he's an upstanding guy.

Not a privileged country club kid knocking on strangers doors at 6 AM as as a 25 yr old, college grad.

Because he is a great ambassador for the school. What has your Natty QB been up to these days?

Once a Tiger, always a Tiger. It’s loyalty to a family member. It’s something Georgia fans aren’t familiar with, apparently.

The answer is because we have a guy who was both awesome at LSU and in the pros.

I know it's cliche but Burrow just IS different. Other players are absolutely loved and followed but Burrow has a different kind of hold on people. When he came here his entire hometown became LSU fans. There were many news stories and articles showing the amount of LSU gear around Athens, OH and lots of quotes from people calling it Baton Rouge North. He already had them. Then he endeared himself to the people down here and cemented the love when he ran out with the Burreaux jersey on on senior night.

Then his speech at the heisman ceremony where he put the focus on the poverty in his hometown and did so with sincerity - thats just a different speech than other winners make.

His trajectory right now is to be one of the greats. I don't think you have to be an LSU fan to recognize that. Or to recognize that he is one of the most popular players in the NFL outside of just LSU and Cincy fans.

So it's not us being "so attached to a former QB" it's us being attached to and proud of an icon.

C'mon uga OP.... it doesn't matter, it's all the same for everyone. You don't remember because you're not a fan.

I see more opposing fans talking about Burrow than actual LSU fans. Georgia seems to be leading the pact tbh. It’s a weird obsession by y’all.

That's because Stafford did nothing when he was at UGA, if he would of won a national championship there you would of adored him. We are talking about the same fan base who after the SEC championship game last year wanted to bench Stetson for JT Daniels, you have no loyalty.. There is a reason that after winning 2 national championships he has made foolish statements and choices, he remembers you clown Georgia fans who said in order to beat Bama we have to play JT Daniels.. I would be getting hammered as well if I had to deal with Dawg fans all the time

Meh.

As much crap as I give LSU fans, they deserve to celebrate Joe Burrow and be proud of his accomplishments. From everything we've seen, he's an upstanding citizen who is a solid ambassador for LSU. You can't help but cheer for the guy.

I see TigerLinatic praising D Smiths catch.
I see antibarner praising burrow.

I see lsu fans praising hurts.

I see other sec fans doggin burrow.


So your post is not very aware.






Not even slightly.
The board is ALL burrow by the other 13 poster groups.
