re: Who's Georgia's biggest rival?

I don't recall Georgia fans having a lot of hate for Auburn until the 2010 game. Since then though...oh boy.

That's pretty accurate. I was at UGA in the late 90s early 2000s, and Auburn was a pretty friendly rivalry. Always hated to lose that game, but when the game was in Athens it was the most fun party weekend of the year as so many Auburn students are from Georgia and we all know each other.

I've heard many UGA fans say that younger fans will claim UF as our biggest rival, while older fans will say GT. It really is GT and always will be, but because of the losing streak to UF, that sticks out more for younger fans and they want to beat UF more badly than GT now given the recent history, but that doesn't elevate them to our biggest rival.

I think the same applies to Auburn. UGA has dominated the series for some time, and some of their fans want to beat UGA worse than Bama because of it. It doesn't mean we're their main rival, it just sucks being dominated by a team you traditionally are pretty even with. Add 2010 and the UGA fans butthurt over Fairley and the Cam situation, that just added fuel to the fire.

I'd rank them as:

1. GT
2. UF
3. Auburn
