Right now, SC is a bigger rival than UT.
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.

It's been a more competitive series of late
The clemson series recently has been more competitive with our series with tech. Is clemson a bigger rival to us than tech is?
quote:
the buzz in Athens is much higher during SC game week than UT,
how long have you lived in Athens?
quote:
The Vols weren't even a thought until division play started.
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.

I hate when UG people are so sensitive. So you want to break down every point? I see the shiny hook so I'll play along.
UT was rarely on the schedule until division play. Prior to '92 the only significance w/ UT in my life was running over Bates. I've never seen a "rivalry" w/ UT.
I see some hypocrisy in your angle. Do you?
You got me, I don't live in Athens. I live in Watkinsville. But I go to Athens daily. Will that suffice?
Yet they almost an annual opponent.
Spurrier made this a rivalry. People in Athens (oops, Watkinsville) want to beat SC more than UT because of this. Part of that today is because UT stinks, but hey, SC did too. Something has to make it a rivalry. And that was Spurrier.
But again, all of this is subjective. Alabama want to claim that LSU isn't a rival but UT still is. Paradigms shift over time. And while you're right about importance, feelings change when those paradigms shift.
