ooh, the swag between AU and UGA became mean-spirited long ago. Hell, it may have been even before the fire hoses, but it was definitely entrenched after that. At least among the fanbases. I have seen more fights at the AU-UGA games than at every other game I have attended. For the players and coaches I think it is usually just a rivalry unless certain things happen, but after 2010 game, there is a reason that Richt kept rubbing Auburn's face in their incompetence in 2011 and 2012 when he usually picks his foot up off the gas. Actually, in 2012, I don't think that UGA was necessarily trying to rub it in, Auburn was just such a shitty team that year, UGA couldn't help but score more points.

Well I was talking more about the dancing and other stunts UGA likes to do pre-game. They do the dancing thing and other stuff to us as well. When we're at home and they do the pre-game/warm-ups dance our band usually responds by instantly blaring Rocky Top at them. It's fun, imo, though some fans get MAD about it all.

AU-UGA is a dirty, mean, slug-fest on the field and sometimes in the stands as is UGA-UF. For whatever reason though, our games with UGA have always been pretty clean and far less hateful (usually more fun than anything else).

I certainly hate it when UGA loses to UT, but yeah, I just don't have the same visceral hate for the Vols that I have for the Gators and Aubies.

Personally, I think they do it because of nerves. Probably started with a couple of players and others joined in, then next thing you know it happens every game. it becomes a tradition of sorts.

I played with a guy that used to throw up after every single practice and before every single game.

I always dread the Tennessee games. I don't care what kind of team y'all have, you ALWAYS bring your "A" game against us. It is rarely an easy game. See: Last year for example.
