Sorry if that came off a little harsh. I'm just sick of our fan base whining and melting over Georgia. Yeah we will likely battle them for the SEC but I am just not that worried about them.
They are just the latest in a line of Bama wannabe challengers: Florida and Meyer, LSU, Gus, Meyer and Ohio State, Dabo and Clemson, and now Kirby and Georgia.

I can sum UGA up. #34
That is all UGA has ever had, and every year they think they are going to win it all. Yes they got close this last year, but they wont act any different going into this next season they haven't in all the season since. I loved it that much more that we beat them. Lets face it. There schedule is rather light looking right now with how down the SEC east is.

op, i know exactly what you are talking about. i live in ga, the tri-state area of bama-tn-ga. if you've never dealt with uga fans on the regular, then you proly have no clue to what we are talking about. even before this year, i had conversations with uga fans that had i not known the truth, i would have thought they were in the midst of a dynasty. ive never seen a more delusional fan base. their REAL history vs their DELUSIONAL history, is simply amazing. i promise you, they dont need to win 5 in 9 to believe they are the best ever, all time.

There is a reason they win more preseason national championships than anyone else.

Yeah even with that Great class bama still is solidly ahead of them in overall talent

I never realized they were this bad.
Before this season they have all came off as level-headed. Little taste of success and they are talking more shite than Notre Dame.

Georgia fans may be a little entitled and ive had some bad experiences...but lets not forget Bama has their fair share of asshats. Georgia fans did nothing more or less than Bama fans to achieve what their program has. We just were blessed to have a connection to Alabama football in one way or another

Anyone who has joined in fall 2017 should be considered a troll for them.
As Bama fans we should be use to it. Texas, oklahoma, osu, clemson, and now georgia. They come out of hiding , but end up scurrying back .
Georgia will win the east will play Bama, and Tua and company are going to play 7 on 7 on that D. Saban is not going to let up and the rest will be history.
Yes, some of you will say georgia will have the greatest 2 recruiting classes in history. Umm so did florida with urban, Bama is built to be a program killer. Ask texas, lsu, florida (they all had great recruiting as well). Hell teams beat us and are not the same after, osu.

But the fact remains as Bama fans the team we root for HAS done shite to warrant being arrogant and popping off at the mouth. Those of us that remember the bullshite years, the sanctions, sitting in multiple losses at that shithole legion field, cussing out Dubose from the couch or even the stands, the Fran/Price/Shula debacle...even losing to ULM in season 1 of Saban’s Dynasty. There’s obviously plenty more but I’m dating myself as a bit of a younger fan here.
To achieve this era after all that I absolutely run my mouth and there’s not many fan bases that can relate to it because this is basically unprecedented so I don’t expect them to understand. I’m gonna live this up while I can because despite what some may think Saban is not immortal and this amazing ness will inevitably end. But that’s where WE are.
These people have done what? Lost a championship game in spectacular fashion? Cool. That is an achievement I’ll give em that but they need to check their attitude. The torch hasn’t passed. Who knows what happens after this? Talk to me when you repeat that success for a few years. Deal with losing almost an entire position to injury (and still doin the damn thing). Talk to me when you lose coordinators and assistants EVERY SINGLE YEAR and the program still produces. Talk to me when you throw a couple heismans on the board in addition to multiple accolades for your roster year after year. Talk to me when you land a top class not once, nor twice, but SEVEN times...in a row. Talk to me when your coaches seat has been colder than my exes heart for almost a decade. FFS...talk to me when you win just a single championship, let alone just about one every other year.
EDIT: btw I’m sure some might call this a melt. Whatever. I look at it more as a reality check for a fan base that is jealous of our success and desperate to feel they’re there now.

I was at a UCF loss, a ULM loss, Auburn losses, UT losses, LSU losses, Shreveport toilet bowl losses, Music City bowl losses to Minnesota where they kicked our arse AND played Rocky Top to rub it in. I remember listening on the radio as we lost to La Tech...twice and fricking Kentucky
All of that misery makes what is happening now that much sweeter...but I wont pretend that anything I did made it happen.

Yea they did have an epic class and did win a SEC title but they are a long way from BAMA

All glory is fleeting. Many people thought it would be tough for us to overtake Florida and Urban Meyer after the 2008 season. All it takes is for UGA maintaining their recruiting, the ball bouncing the right way for them, and suddenly they are taking our spot on the podium.

Yea - they are clearly not "a long way" from us. They just lost to us in OT in the national title game and followed it up with one of the greatest on paper recruiting classes of the last 20 years.
There is a difference in thinking we aren't going anywhere but Georgia will be knocking on the door and thinking Georgia is going to run away from us.

Felt like I needed to chime in here.
I certainly don't agree with that, but moving on..
I doubt you know anyone that "literally" thinks thise, aside from the John Q. Sidewalkers you may associate with personally. I consider myself fairly reasonable, and I know UGA to be a top 15 (potentially fringe top ~12ish) program of all time. Certainly ND/OSU/UA are in those that rank ahead of us.
This doesn't make any sense. Why should our history, regardless of how good or bad, preclude us from being excited with our current trajectory? We are in as good of a place now as we've been in decades, there's no reason at all to not be excited if you're a UGA fan.
false
Ok? What does that have to do with our current excitement?
You saw a highly functioning idiot on a message board known for trolls and flamers say that. You have not seen an actual, reasonable fan say that. Word to the wise: I wouldn't put the slightest bit of stock into ANYTHING you read on the SEC Rant.
No, we really don't. Nobody in the history of football will match this "level" that saban is at, it's historical and will never be duplicated IMO. What our fans DO think is that we finally have a coach that can get the best out of our players, an administration that is giving said coach the support he needs, and a massive infusion of local talent. Honestly can't say when the last time is that we've had all 3.
Damn right it gave us hope. Just 2 short seasons ago we played in Athens and got taken to the woodshed and didn't even belong on the same field. Fast forward 2 seasons later and we were very much bama's equal and took the biggest game of the year to extra time. Should we not be hopeful about that?
You did a lot of generalizing so I'll do a little myself.
Your opinion would 100% be different if this sentence wasn't applicable to you. I grew up in GA and have lived here my entire life aside from 2.5 years I spend in my mid-20s in birmingham. Every bama fan I knew growing up (that actually followed the program, since this was the late dubose/shula days so fans weren't nearly as identifiable) despised GA, for simply nothing more than they were surrounded by UGA fans. Uh...hello. You're in GA, that's gonna happen. I myself can see the flip side of that coin. I thought both UA and AU fans were far worse when I lived in bham than when living in GA, simply because you're exposed to thousands more of them. Out of sight, out of mind kinda situation.
So I think you really need to ask yourself if "Georgia fans" truly think we have notre dame's history and we're as good as bama and we're about to duplicate saban's success and win 7 of the next 10 titles...or if you just happen to associate with people who don't know the slightest shite about what they're talking about.

Personally, I've never had many issues with Georgia people. We share the same rivals and, until recently and probably the near future, don't really play eachother or compete a whole ton relative to other fanbases around us.
We're sure to all butt heads some seeing as that we will be competing at the top, but we still both hate Auburn and Tennessee, and that is good enough for something.

Both great achievements, but we aren’t arguing they weren’t successful (to a degree). The question is, does their attitude and bravado match what their team has accomplished. It’s one thing to have a good year. Our program has had a good decade. Probably the best of any program ever. So as a fan of that program who lives in basically the stronghold of the fanbase being discussed, I agree with OP that they’ve grown delusional. It’s one thing to have hope. It’s another thing to count your team as equals (as one of their posters just did) to the team that is basically literally the gold standard of the sport. So you played us close. Nice. Other teams have done the same once in a while. Even actually beat us. It’s not what you can do in one year...so it again, and again, and again. Over and over until it’s not YOUR opinion that you’ve arrived but unanimously that of the opponent you so desperately wish to usurp.

Not sure anyone is or was insinuating this. But I want to see sustained success before I declare we have a new nemesis and worthy opponent in our backyard. Let them continue this while dealing with all the crap I mentioned (especially the yearly attrition at basically every level of the program except HC). Hell not even Clemson knows what that’s like. In short, I’ll believe it when I see it. Time will tell if it’s truly a dynasty in the making. Until then it’s realistically no better than “5 yards short.”
As for the class, all but a handful of these prospects were unimpressive to me this year. I’m sure rivals sensationalized it because it definitely doesn’t look good for subscriptions to admit it’s a lackluster year, but in reality there was a couple good QBs and a few good athletes. No real freaks that jump off the film and nobody I was overly excited to either get or see getaway. Not every year is going to be as good as or even better than the last. Have to accept that once in a while there’s going to be a dip in talent and ability. This isn’t meant to offend, just saying if we weren’t going to have the top class one year, I’m glad it was this year and not say...Tua’s. Downvote away if you must.

Can you provide examples of the delusion? And not from the SECR. Delusional would be saying we're going to win the natty next year and win 3 of the next 5 or some such. Nobody is saying that.

2012 felt like it was our one big chance. I don't think anyone walked out of that SECCG thinking "hey, 13-16 we'll be right back and get em next time". I don't think ANYone walked out of the NCG last month thinking that this was a flash in the pan. The 2 situations aren't the same IMO.

Yes I know they are right there in terms of "NOW" but I was referring to the history of the program or even just the last decade. It has been an amazing run. I know what UGA is doing and I got bashed several times this year for posting about their team this year and their recruiting class. We see what they have done
