Your flaw in this "I'm the bigger man" charade is that you falsely assume that we've all developed some awful envy of Auburn. I think I speak for every Georgia poster when I say that our disdain for Auburn far outdates and transcends some momentary success Auburn has come into. We don't rip on Auburn because we're jealous. We rip on Auburn BECAUSE YOU'RE frickING AUBURN. We have hated you since the 1800s and we hated you before Fairley. We hated you before the 80's and we hated you since Dooley. Now that doesn't mean we can't carry rational discussions with Auburn fans, but you'd best believe they're going to be tinged with our resentment. I would only hope to have that hate reciprocated, given the history between the two schools. If you claim to be above all of that then I'm afraid you don't understand this rivalry or Auburn football in general.

You don't seem to understand how little the Auburn fans in the state of Alabama care about Georgia. If you grow up as an Auburn fan living in this state, Alabama is pretty much the only team you dislike. You either like or don't care about pretty much every other team. I actually used to sort of like Georgia at one time a long time ago. Of course this was before I came into contact with their fans. My dislike for Georgia and the dislike for Georgia in general has increased with the constant whining your fans have done about Auburn in the last 4 or 5 years

Thank you for so eloquently explaining the meaning of a college rivalry.

I can handle much of the stupid back and forth on this board and the Rant, but I will never understand why someone can't just simply hate a school for what they represent. It has nothing to do with jealousy.

And, quite frankly, you are not exactly perceptive if you didn't enter this thread knowing from the first post what it would be.

This. I'd like to make it clear that I am not jealous, I just fricking hate AU.

Moved to Huntsville when I was like 6 months old and of course I had to choose a side. That side was Alabama. I was still very young when we moved back here to GA and due to my proximity to Athens and the number of UGA alumni in my family, I became a Bulldog fan. But Bama will always have a place in my fanhood while AU will always be one of my most hated teams, understandably.

What is funny about this is that I am the same way about UF, but in real life, I get along with AU and UF fans better than almost any others.
