It still wouldn't take away that every team that surrounds UGA has won a NC since UGA 1980 Championship. If it did, you Bulldog fans would explode if the changed Clemson to the USC-Clemson . That would be the last stronghold for UGA.

Been a while since I've seen a fanbase this obsessed with Auburn.

On the eve of their SECG appearance/playoff play-in. Yikes

Hasn't it already been renamed 3 times? Original name East Alabama Male College Renamed 1)Agricultural and Mechanical College of Alabama 1892 2)Alabama Polytechnic Institute 1899 3)Auburn University 1960


Exactly, there is precedent to change it as it’s role changes. It now exists as a support mechanism for UAT. The name should reflect that role.

Actually that would be a good merger. Two whiney schools that are use to being in the shadow of great programs. Always second best.

I've always said that they ARE Clemson without the lake. But that was before Clemson became relevant.

Maybe they should call themselves THE University of Alabama at Auburn. WarTide!

#DawgForADay is good for the 30% of AU students who go there solely because they were denied admission to UGA. It lets them experience what could have been, if only for a day.

Georgia fans are baffling. Is this some type of weird pre loss melt or something?

Or we could just put the song "Always a bridesmaid, never a bride" on loop....then they'll understand what being a "dawg" is perfectly.

I don't blame UGA grads for playing this card some, even if it's a stretch

I'll never understand non-grads attempting it
