Then why do some of you take issue when folks point out the impact of factors?

Sure but explain to me how we folded vs OU?Kinda blows up your little theory.

BTW,you do remember losing to Maryland and
OSU last year, correct?Lord talk about laying an egg...maybe you'll get through the big 12 with 3 losses instead of 4 next year LMAO.

Anyway congrats on your Super Bowl vs us last year...you guys obviously wanted the game more and your DC actually does a half decent job when he has a month to prepare .The Sugar Bowl was obviously more important to em than the conference championship game...kinda strange but whatever.

My bad,so you're an LSU fan dick riding Texas and giving UGA shite about choking to Bama?LMFAO! YOU'VE scored 10 points in 3 years against em!When was the last time you even had a lead against em?

Dude.

We are taking issue with the idea that you are making excuses for a loss.

We are not taking issue with the idea that an outcome is dependent on various factors which affect that outcome.

The Sugar Bowl is a trap game?

It is when your team has goals beyond it. It's not 1970, "Sugar Bowl" doesn't mean what it use to.

They had just lost their chance at the playoffs to Alabama in the last seconds, again. That was their goal, they didn't give a frick about Texas(I know that's hard for Texas fans to understand).

I've never understood why fans of other teams get upset by such things. You still won, what the hell does it matter? It's Georgia's fault they couldn't get motivated, Texas didn't seem to have that problem.

But if you want to talk about team strength, then smart people will recognize these things.

you've contradicted yourself in consecutive sentences. Some UGA people are simply pointing out some of those "various factors" that very much contributed to the loss, which you say you aren't at issue with. It seems to me that you equate pointing out "various factors" with "making excuses" which seems to be splitting hairs.

Making Excuses = discussing factors.

It’s the same exact thing.

Pretty much the dumbest thing I've ever read on these boards.

Sporting events are determined by the score of the event. There is nothing more objective than the score. There is indeed nothing at all wrong about an objective fact. It just is.

There is everything wrong with making excuses.


What you've posted is dumb. I wonder if people will ever figure out that a "fact" without context and in the absence of other relevant facts is worse than a flat out lie.

Apparently you've never heard to frequently used phrase - "The score didn't really tell the game".

For example, a game can be close until the 4th quarter, a team can score a few TD's and the end result may not even come close to telling how the game actually went.

Take the A&M vs LSU game last year, scores in the 70s. That paints a pretty wrong picture of the game in itself, what's also needed are additional facts such as it went into 7 OTs.

It happens extremely often.

It was a great win. Congrats on that one.

I’ll give you shite for losing to LSU by 20 and losing to Texas before I’ll discredit you for the Bama games. But you know damn well you all shite the bed there too.

And when your team fails to achieve those goals, they need to get off the mat and play the damn game. If walking into the Superdome for the Sugar Bowl against a polarizing program like UT doesn’t excite you, then the coaches have let you down.

If Bama morphs into a 4-loss team, I don’t think people will be let down against them. It’s still a big game.

Not sure what part of ‘Tiger’ in my name you don’t understand. Not knighting for Texas, mostly just laughing at Georgia fans for making excuses. I thought we had some bad fans at LSU as far as that goes, little did I know we are outdone.

That’s exactly what I’ve been saying.

That’s not an excuse. It’s their own damn fault they get wound too tight. I’m not saying LSU would beat Bama if they downplayed the significance of that game. Bama just approaches big games better. Saban is a master at what he does. LSU isn’t there right now. Where’s the excuse in that.

How old are you?

I was alive when the Bumbles were in the SEC and they were good

67 wins for Georgia left (26 wins before Tech left, 41 wins after Tech left)
41 wins for Georgia Tech (27 wins before Tech left, 14 wins after Tech left)
5 ties (all before WWII)

Tech had a slight edge all time before Tech left the SEC
Georgia has about a 3:1 edge since Tech left the SEC

The point is that so much time has passed that “historically” includes UGA whipping Tech more often than not for a half century at this point.

Laughing at someone who understands the game on a deeper level is evidence of insecurity. Maybe that’s why you take issue when folks point out the impact of factors?

1964 - 1893 = 71 years
2019 - 1965 = 54 years

Not quite the halfway point, but will be there in about a generation

What I was pointing out was how much the ratio's had changed

1:1 to 3:1 is a big change

Halfway point in regards to number of games played.

Maybe, maybe not. But some of the Texas fans seem to think their win had nothign to do with the circumstances of the game, and plainly shows that texas had the better team.


Being a Texas A&M fan I can say without any bias for either team that Texas whipped Georgia all over the field. They spayed and neutered them dogs.

Because Georgia thinks they are Bama but really aren't.
