re: 55-55-8...The Deep South's oldest rivalry is a true rivalry

Always my favorite game of the year; love the rivalry. I enjoy beating Tech the most, and hate losing to them the most, but with all my old friends who went to Auburn, it's always a fun time.

Agreed. I think Georgia v. Auburn is one of the most underrated rivalries in the entire country. It doesn't get the hype that some of the others do, but its always a fun time.

Maybe its that both programs know its a rivalry and there isn't one side trying to hype it into something its not.

Auburn probably has the largest alumni presence in Atlanta outside of UGA. So that makes this rivalry special. That and the long history.

If Auburn and Georgia could ever meet in Atlanta for the SEC CG, it could in time boost the rivalry to the most games played of any rivalry in the country. Wisconsin v. Minnesota sits at 124 total contests... 6 ahead of Auburn and Georgia. Auburn and Georgia need to meet in Atlanta 6 times to tie it. I would have thought we'd have seen the Aubs in Atlanta by now, but somehow in 23 years it still has not happened. So it may take awhile to get to six.
