re: Is Georgia the most underachieving program of all time?

A UT hillbilly showing his green eyed envy and incredible jealousy of Georgia. Way too funny! Georgia has owned the Vols for longer than most posters on this site can even remember. If UGA is an underachiever then what does that make UT? Road kill?
Maybe the Vols should focus on the dumpster fire that is their program, load up on the mustard bottles and get ready for another beat down at the hands of the national champions. Since Richt arrived at UGA, the Dawgs have averaged over 10 wins a year and that number is getting higher every year thanks to Kirby. UT isn’t much of a concern to Georgia anymore. Only a little more concerning than GT and then only because they are in the SEC. These Vols are dumber than dirt.

Bring the Cocktail party to Athens when UGA is the home team and let UF play where ever they want when it’s their year . Jax has gotten to be way too much of a hassle. It’s not fan friendly anymore and that game being in Athens would give UGA another home game, a great recruiting day and even more money for Athens

Yeah. What a meaningless stat

We're a lesser program than Georgia, despite history saying otherwise? Besides head to head, Tennessee is superior. We've endured the worst decade of our history. The pendulum will swing the other way now that we have a real AD and coach.

I wouldn’t say Tenn is a lesser program historically than GA, but they aren’t greater.

GA leads the series…and it’s a 50 game series.
GA trails TN by 3 all time wins which should be rectified this year.
GA has the same number of SECC (13)
GA has 7 recognized National championships and claims the three consensus. Tennessee has 6 recognized NC’s and claims 6 and sometimes the 2 consensus.
Georgia has more bowl wins, bowl appearances, and Heisman winners.

Is UGA underachieving, yes. The most, underachieving, not even close. It seems more bc of the near misses since 1980. 81, 82, 83, 92, 02, 05, 07, 12, 17, and 18 were all teams that were close. Some real close. Also, Georgia’s bridesmaid stigma is made worse by the fact that they so rarely really suck. Like 5 losing seasons since 1959. They are the team that’s always “pretty good”.

As has been stated here already the demographics of GA have changed a lot even though the passion was always there. The population is now 11+ Million and the coaching and resources at the HS level have really escalated. Georgia has always had a lot of athletes. But now those athletes are on training regiments in the 6th grade.

UGA is largely going to get the players they want in GA. They can’t and won’t get all of them bc there are so many. The factors that needed to come together for UGA to stay in the top 5 have happened. Good coach, good recruiting, commitment to win from the administration.

And to whoever said UT has more resources than UGA…no.

GA has more people, more athletes, better quality HS football. A higher median household income and More corporations, ergo more corporate income.

We have quiet billionaires and 9 figure net worth boosters. They are not a vocal bunch.

The last coach Georgia fired was an incredible human being who was averaging over 10 wins a year. Georgia has very high standards
