My most-passionate UGA fan friend says "wish we had Les Miles, at least he knows how to motivate players".
Average UGA fans don't get at invested as the rest of us, they just want to see a winner on Saturdays. In some ways I'm envious of it. Average LSU fan knows the 2-deep chart.
This is even more ridiculous than the things that phan posts, which is saying quite a lot. I mean, I don't even know where to begin making fun of this idiocy.

There is a clear dividing line between old school UGA fans and younger fans.
Older fans graduated from a UGA from another era. It was easy to get into and drew students from all across the state. These 45+ year old fans are typical to other rabid SEC fans that live and die by what occurs on Saturdays.
Younger fans that went to UGA during the HOPE era are different. They are largely drawn from the Atlanta metro area and many were from families not from Georgia or even the South. The much tougher academic standards over the past 15 years has limited the type of student that goes to UGA. The result is that younger alums typically don't have the edge to them than many SEC fan bases have. Thus, they're branded martini loving, wine and cheese fans. Plenty of exceptions to the rule but this is generally the truth.
