A year in the life of a Georgia Bull Dog fan....

The calendar for a Georgia fan goes something like this:
January: Lose bowl game (if they're in one; this event often moves back to late December, on the Ocho). Blame refs and one of the coordinators. Declare that the upcoming season is "their year."
February: Declare themselves national recruiting champions. "This class will ensure that we never lose another game."
March: Spring game. Declare this year's new running back "The next Herschel."
April-July: Argue heatedly about the margins of victory in the upcoming season. Debate hotel room locations for the BCS game. Squash any suggestion of failure by repeated references to "talent" and "one of the top programs in the country." Blame repeated player arrests on the media and over-zealous police.
August: Declare an undefeated season is at hand. Extol the virtues of players who couldn't beat lower-tier teams the year before and pass those failures off as aberrations.
September: Lose to South Carolina. Declare this a fluke and scrutinize the future schedule for how to make up a game in the division.
October: Lose to Tennessee. Blame loss on coordinator. Lose to Florida. Rationalize by noting they always lose to Florida, and that Tampa is nice in January.
November: Lose to Auburn. Rip hair out and blame on "dirty football" or "cheating" or both. Call for firing coordinator and a "get-tough" return to "old Georgia football."
December: Lose bowl game (if applicable). Start looking forward to recruiting season.

So what did we do the previous 4 years when we beat Auburn? I'm guessing this is a new calendar...but yet we beat Tennessee. Your calendar sucks FWIW.

Probably would have left that part out seeing as how they have four out of five against us.

Ummmmm, no. UGAy fans are the most over-zealous in the SEC by far. Talk to one of them and you'd think they're going to win the next NC.

Whether or not you agree with his content, that was not at attempt. That was a straight up flame.

Good thing you guy had those four years. You've closed Auburn's lead in the overall series.
Nice avatar.

Nah, just read an USC board pre-season and they think they already have everything wrapped up. Every team has fans that think they can win it all but the majority know better. The only time Ive seen a lot of UGA fans claim a pre-season MNC was before 08' season and I knew better than that.

Now that I live in GA, I have come to loathe and respect UGA fans.
I never realized how much they hated UF until I moved here. In 07 when they beat us you would have thought that they had beat us for the last 20 games straight.
They seem to think that UGA is God's gift to football and seem to forget that the last time they won a NC was over 3 decades ago.
However, they are very, very loyal fans and give full support to UGA no matter what happens year in and year out. So that I do respect.
