30 years ago UGA was the nicest place to visit. UGA was my second favorite team. Things changed, the rivalry is more heated. Soldier boy, Fairly, Auburn 3 undefeated seasons, one NC, UGA always losing to Florida, UGA fans trashing there own campus.
However, story seems over the top. Did have one fan outside the stadium and one fan inside the stadium act like a drunken jerk. See that everywhere.
Still, based on my last 5 trips each to LSU, UGA and BAMA. UGA is the worse. LSU fans rag on you, but good natured (talk to them and they offer you food and a drink), Bama fans are jerks, UGA fans want to fight.

I'm sure that is why they "left early" and this letter is 100% accurate

No, the stories aren't made up. A current female Auburn student works for the Auburn rivals site. She tweeted out yesterday that some of her fellow sorority sisters received threats of physical violence from grown men who were Georgia fans. This is all largely due to the jealousy mutt fans have over Auburn winning the nationa title in 2010 and playing for it again last year
Lol. Her part time job obviously gives her tweeting hearsay threats from "grown men" (as if her sorority sisters are 8 years old) unquestionable credibility.

On the flip side I also often see people talk about going to visiting stadiums and acting like every tailgate calls them over and treats them like kings and offers them feasts and some alone time with any woman in the group of their choosing etc...
I've never experienced either of those things, good or bad, in dozens of away trips. It's always the same. People mostly minding their own business a couple of guys who yell out something a couple of guys will to try have a conversation about the game and then everyone goes on their way.
Who does this stuff actually happen to?

I walked all over North Campus all day long, and didn't have a single problem at all.

Apples and Oranges. When you invite someone to your house, you don't jump them and make them feel like shite (unless they've done something to deserve such treatment). But when you agree to meet someone at a neutral bar and drink for a solid week, don't be surprised when shite goes down.

I can guarantee you that if 85% of UGA fans saw this happening they would confront the other UGA fans. I'm sure they had trash talked to them, but being spat on constantly is such BS. If you're going to make up a story to try and cast a bad light on a fan base at least try and make it believable. Out of the Auburn fans I talked to on Saturday (only around 20) it seemed like 90% of them had thoroughly enjoyed their time in Athens so far. Congrats to this guy though for his new found popularity.

Everyone else but you and me
I've received the King's treatment before, but only because I already knew people at the tailgate I was visiting which led to me being introduced and welcomed by even more people. Never have I just sauntered up to a random tailgate and been immediately welcomed with plentiful bounties of beer and hot food by complete strangers like some claim.

Let me guess...you minded your own business, were friendly with people you interacted with, weren't stumbling drunk, and acted like a decent human in general? Funny how that behavior will lead to being treated civilly.

I went in 1993, 1995 and 2009.
For the most part, pleasant.
I did have a drunk bark at me in 2009, but his tailgate group told me he "was not right in the head."
Cursed at after the game a little, but no spitting or physical stuff.
Probably like most campus games. Certainly not like an Eagles game in Philly or WVU games.

I get that treatment at 1 or 2 away games a year, but it's because I walk over to the main tailgate areas and mix and mingle with folks and they end up inviting me in. Great way to meet new people and have a good time.

I had lunch with an Auburn fan/friend on Saturday. We were talking about the rivalry and such. She was just as nervous about the game as me (maybe more). I offered to rub her shoulders to calm her down- then I choked her out. DSOR, bitch!

Maybe it's due to the fact that I've only been to Athens once (last year for LSU/UGA), but I thought everyone was incredibly friendly there and my experience was very positive. A random UGA girl on campus (attractive I might add, seemed to be alot of good looking girls in Athens) asked my friend and I if we needed help finding our way around (we were both wearing purple and gold). UGA fans invited my friend and I to their tailgate, shared booze, etc. even though we were in LSU gear.
Something tells me they are leaving key parts out of the story. I'd be willing to guess they were drunk and instigating things. It seems pretty unlikely all of these things happen to them if they are minding their own business.

Dawgs, why are you treating your west Georgia in-state rivals with such disdain?
