Put it this way - in the last 50 years Georgia is as consistent a program as there is in college football. Won 440 games, 7 SEC titles, and a national championship. There are 6-7 better programs across that particular timespan.

You can argue why not 54 years, or 62 years, or whatever you want, but 50 seems relevant to me and that's why I picked it.

But it's kind of a perpetual hell to ALWAYS be right on the cusp...and any UGA fan who tells you otherwise is lying.

There are three true joys in college football:

1. Being elite - no explanation needed. Congrats Alabama fans on being this.
2. Beating your rival. Yessir....our rivals are Florida, Auburn, and Tech IYAM because I'm old school. Some of the best people alive went to those schools and I ENJOY our games with them. Those games really have gotten to be about the only ones I enjoy/watch and of course are the ones I want to win the most. If we lose them, it was their year and I hope they're happy as I am when we win.
3. Being the fan of a fricking terrible program. All the scheming and planning, coaching rumors, recruiting tidbits, plane tail number tracking...anything to give you hope. And imagining. Glorious imagining how it's going to be when you're the man again.

We've had #2 plenty in the last 50 years. We got some of #3 with Goff and Donnan. But #1 has been elusive...

Would I trade it for Vandy's experience or Mississippi State? Probably not.
