re: Georgia and SCAR should be permanent rivals

Columbia, SC sux arse, badly.

While I don’t care if SC is a permanent rival or not, I agree. But that’s just my $0.02.

Well, maybe not the downtown of Columbia alone. But I can’t understand why they’d put the stadium that far away from the town.

Now, it’s been a long time since I have been there, so maybe it’s grown a bit. But as a visiting fan I remember the gameday experience being not good. No walkability between downtown, campus, and the stadium.

Not like Athens, where I can park my car when I get there early morning and then have relatively easy walkable access to downtown, campus, tailgating and the stadium.

Maybe I need to go back and give Columbia another chance if the game is scheduled later during the season. But I don’t actually attend games in general much anymore.

I'm just south of the border from Charlotte and over the 11 years I've been here, especially since 2020 and covid, the bullshite has gotten worse to where it makes me want to move somewhere, preferably coastal, to be by like minded people. The reasons I left North Jersey are the same reasons I'm wanting to leave where I'm at now. I'm a Ramblin' Man, haha, that just wants the simple life and no nonsense.

As a UGA fan who lives in Augusta I would prefer USC as the third permanent if there is a third....the games are usually pretty competitive, USC fans are pretty good folks and its about the same distance for me to Columbia as it is to Athens. There is also a pretty decent festival in Augusta the Friday evening before the game that is pretty fun...almost a bowl game atmosphere, usually early in the season when both fan bases are pretty eager for the season to start. Its in the Green Jackets stadium now so its not as much fun as it was when it was on the commons but it is still pretty unique.

That said Kentucky and Vanderbilt are truer conference rivals for UGA than USC simply from a longevity POV....both are original SEC members and UGA played both most years since the SEC started. The difference in numbers of games are not much and UGA has dominated all 3 but the games against USC are generally more competitive than UK and especially Vandy, on average.

UGA and Tennessee almost never played before conference expansion and the creation of divisions. It has become a rivalry since but, from a UGA fans perspective, playing Tennessee has about as much interest for me as playing Ole Miss, LSU or Mississippi State....younger fans will have a far different POV but UGA and Tennessee managed to avoid one another most years prior to the creation of divisions in the SEC.

GT 113 games
Vandy 83
UK 78
USC 76
Clemson 66

Well it seems to depend on how good we are. UGA was 6-5 vs Spurrier when he was at Carolina.

Being honest most our history has been pretty bad, but when Carolina has a competent coach its a really fun series. Carolina seems to be improving and on the rise so it could be a fun series again, even if UGA wins a heavy majority of the time, the games should be close

You're a moron if you think coaching has a bigger effect on a game than pure talent. It can, occasionally, but we all know typically talent wins on the field. Coaching decisions can certainly help lose games though.
