It's hilarious how defensive UGA fans get when someone highlights the fact that grown men barking in your face aggressively isn't something to be overly thrilled about.


You act like everyone in Athens gets nose to nose and barks in your face. There might be the occasional idiot who does that but that's not the norm.

South Carolina is the worst for me. It's not that the fans were bad by any means. A few of them actually invited me to do a kegstand at their tailgate on the way in. The problem was the 2010 UGA/SCar game is the hottest sporting event I've ever been to. Watching a game in Williams-Brice at noon in September is like watching a game on the surface of the sun.

In general, if you aren't a dick and you're a respectable human being around opposing fans, you won't have any problems whatsoever and opposing fans will generally be nice. The problems come when SCar fans or Auburn fans come to Athens, talk a whole lot of shite, and then get all pissy when there is retaliation.

I literally said a large portion of the fanbase is a good time. Some of your bad fans take it to another level of obnoxious though.

I think you underestimate how often it happens, and how aggressive it is.

Obviously if a fight starts, or something happens the visitor is outnumbered, so you just mostly have to stand there and take it. Most those clowns never went to the school so its even weirder to defend people barking and cussing you out.
