Why you hating on Kansas. 1 Kansas farmer feeds 155 Americans! Did you like steak? Does anything you eat have wheat in it? Maybe you should shut the duck up.

You're right man. Kansas is a super desirable place to live and visit. What was I thinking?

Couldn't the same be said about Auburn? I mean, Alabama is farther away from Georgia than Auburn and you are in the same state. Why does Alabama have all the success and Auburn does not?

It could be argued that Auburn's resources are better than Alabama's. You more or less said it in your post.

I am licensed to practice law in Georgia and Arkansas. When I took the Arkansas Bar Exam in Little Rock, there was a guy there who was a big Arkansas fan. I started talking to him during our lunch break about college football. He said that Georgia and Arkansas are similar football programs in the sense that we both have good teams but we can never get over the top and win the big game. I almost pissed my pants from laughing so hard when he said that. Arkansas football isn't even close to Georgia football. Since 2000, UGA has had 11 seasons with 10 wins or more. Arkansas has only had 3. Georgia has won 3 SEC Championships. Arkansas obviously hasn't won any. Georgia has won two Sugar Bowls and a Rose Bowl. Arkansas hasn't won any BCS, New Year's Six, or Playoff games.




You poor dumb bastard. He stinged you and you just sat there and played with yourself.

You have access to a ton more talent but you are, when you get down to it, a program about on level with Arkansas.

Damn dude. He pissed on your face and told you it was raining and you went and got your umbrella. Please lose your license to practice in this state because God only knows the damage you could do to innocent people.

Again. Can't the same be said about Auburn?

I am not trolling, because I think most Georgia fans would agree with your point. We have underachieved and hope that we are getting it straightened out. But Auburn is jokingly said to be "West Georgia".

Not really. Arkansas has access to Texas and Louisiana talent. Texas has a lot more talent state wise, and Louisiana is pretty loaded, too. If schools were only allowed to recruit in their own state it would be different, but you guys act like Georgia doesn't have Tennessee, Florida, FSU, Auburn, Alabama and Clemson heavily recruiting here. Ohio State is, too. GT usually gets different type athletes, so they will pull the occasional recruit, but usually we don't recruit head to head with them.

I honestly preferred living there to Georgia. Less crowded. Beautiful land in half of the state until you get to about Salina. Waaaay less crime and much better weather. Everything is more affordable and the people are genuinely nice compared to the faux-"bless-your-heart"-hospitality.

The only thing I missed was Chick-fil-A.

I lived in Georgia for 10+ years and live there now. There are four types of people in the state that make up like 90% of the population:
1. Thugs and ghetto trash
2. Trailer park trash
3. Hipsters
4. Rich status obsessed yuppies

The portion of decent, normal folk is small while in Kansas they're the majority.

Kansas isn't for everyone but it isn't a bad state, I liked it a lot.

Probably would have been better for you to go with "stung" here.

Well, like I said in my earlier post, UGA has a football program that wins and competes for championships. Arkansas doesn't. So I don't know how you arrived at this conclusion.

Unlike you, I hope that you do not lose your livelihood or ability to make money.

I'm glad you like it. However, I'm going to stick with Atlanta and all of our professional sports teams, our 15 Fortune 500 companies, our proximity to the mountains and the beach, the nightlife, culture, food, amenities and infrastructure. Also want to point out that the new Mercedes-Benz Stadium is awesome and SunTrust Park is also awesome. Those two stadiums will host many Super Bowls, national championship games, and all star games.

I'm well aware of Atlanta, I live there now and work within earshot of Suntrust, it's not for me. Great town to visit, terrible town to "live in". Different strokes for different folks I suppose.

Zuessy wouldn't have been pumping the dawg poop out his rear end after 2016...would he? Damn...I kind of expected the leghumpers to act like they have been there before..oh wait they haven't been for what? Half a century??

Heres a barb for Arkie and Kansas (there's no place like home). Stamos you were licensed to practice law in Arkansas right? Was your practice limited to animal husbandry??

Kansas Jaybirds will accept the comatose, the parolees, the illiterate, the dregs of farm towns, the attendees at anger management schools everywhere. Just sign X and you are a proud student.

Of course Jawja was the setting for the movie "Deliverance" and ya sur pruty now boy.

Auburn is named after a city...where you can generally load our money people who control things in a mini van. To be clear...I didn't, in anyway say that Auburn's resources are better. Not sure how anyone couldn't see that.

Auburn's location has enabled it to overachieve. I already said that however.

Did you even watch the big twelve play this year? They actually had some decent teams.

I mean, it really cant. Especially when you put tradition with Bama's resources, its amazing AU competes on the level we do. Granted, its a fricking roller coaster but Auburn has been the most competitive, arguably, since Saban turned them back around.

I guess it could be argued Bama's success has made AU step its game up.

Had this been started by a fan of a program with a recent national title, I’d take it more seriously.

Your Rose Bowl win is nice, but your NC loss doesn’t help contribute to the SEC’s overalll NC success. Georgia is still searching.
