AU – UGA was a fun rivalry before 2010. What upset the UGA fan base about 2010 and even 2013 was the way Auburn capitalized on the opportunity to win championships when we had a good team. The BCS Championship in 2010 and the second place finish in 2013 frustrated the UGA fanbase because for the past 33 years when UGA has had a team with a shot to win it all they shoot themselves in the foot. It was OK for Bama, LSU, and UF to win national championships but when Auburn won in 2010 it really showed UGA fans all they have not done in a long, long time. I have lived in Georgia for 16 years and I can tell the biggest difference in my UGA friends pre and post 2010. Before we used to have a good time with the game, but now they take it so seriously. I was a student in the early 90s and the UGA game was my favorite away game. We always made a weekend of it, and had so much fun going to the football game we went to the basketball game if it was on a Saturday.
I think this is all pretty accurate.
Also, I have to believe the stuff about shitty UGA fans being true. You never really see our fanbase complain often about behavior of other fans, so something is going on that is out of the ordinary with quite a few UGA fans when we play them.

I can handle the barking, and random redneckedness. I have grown up around it. It has everything to do with us having National success, while them not so much. Along with this premise that they are Saints. Saints who have been held down by Auburn all these years and not their own ineptness.

Sit in the two seats next to my wife and I high up in section 39, mostly season tickets, not sure how they got these). First thing he does when he sits down is pulls out his phone and starts showing everyone a picture of the scoreboard from the 2012 game. Poor fella left during the 3rd quarter so he never got to see their comeback or the prayer.

I guess as someone said earlier, I sticks in their craw that we have been to the BCS championship game almost as many times as they have been to the SECCG in the last 10 years. That plus GT has won a natty more recently than they have.
