Picking a "rival" is so subjective & changes. Right now, SC is a bigger rival than UT. It's been a more competitive series of late, the buzz in Athens is much higher during SC game week than UT, & there have been 50% more games played against SC than UT throughout history. The last several years, SC is a bigger rival than UT. The Vols weren't even a thought until division play started.

No, it's not. SC recently has been a more IMPORTANT game, as it has been more relevant to the east. But it's not a bigger rival.

The clemson series recently has been more competitive with our series with tech. Is clemson a bigger rival to us than tech is?

how long have you lived in Athens?

And SC wasn't even in the fricking SEC until division play started.


It's always amusing to me that people from other fanbases think they know more about UGA than UGA fans.

Competitive games do not make them a rival

47–18–2 vs SC. Not a rivalry

No it's not. Both teams have to consider it a rivalry. You can't just pick some random team out and say they are a rival.

Again, no. Just because a series is competitive does not make it a rivalry. UGA/GT is a huge rivalry and the series has not been very competitive lately.

While MAYBE a factor it would be a small factor. If we decided to play Ga. Southern or Ga. State every year, that would not necessarily make us rivals.
