The series is dead even after nearly 120 years.

No, that's the number of days out of the year Arkansas fans really think they have a chance at being SEC West champs.

Say what you will, but you can't get much closer than that in a rivalry!

I remember seeing a stat during a game several years ago where CBS or whomever was broadcasting the game showed the cumulative score for each team over the course of the rivalry. They were almost dead even as well. Truly a game I always try to watch.

Nice, but I still think South Carolina-Texas A&M is the fiercest and most storied cross-divisional rivalry

Aren't the total points pretty close,too?

This was as of 2011. A few blowouts since then has raised it some
UGA has outscored AU 1,809-1,771.

Here's the thing ... UGA and Auburn has been evenly matched, is fairly close to one another and it's a solid rivalry. Very solid even.
But until you can contribute multiple deaths to the rivalry, until you can cite history where the two schools tipped over bleachers and started shooting at one another or where the two schools got in fights where Calvary sabers were drawn and blood shed ... until you can say the mafia came down with fake tickets and oversold the game that caused another near riot ... until you can say you brought a cow out and declared her homecoming queen of your rival and the rival fell for it ... and so on and so forth ... and until you can call it the longest "continual" rivalry in the Deep South, the second longest in the country ...
But the UGA Auburn rivalry is outstanding.
