I love to poke fun (in fun!) at our rivals, but bottom line, I respect them. I have to 'cuz it ain't fun when we get beat by them.
Came across some comments sent to me made by HC Kirby Smart on UGA's rivalry with Auburn and the AU-Bama rivalry....
"They're both rivalries. I mean Georgia-Auburn is a border-war rivalry. For Alabama, Auburn is obviously an in-state rivalry. That's on another whole level of difference from being over there because they live with that for 365 days. We share that with several other out-of-state rivalries.
There is no diminishing of a rivalry. I tend to agree with coach [Hugh] Freeze. It's not about hate for me. I don't look at it as 'I hate any of their players.' I recruited a lot of them. I don't look at it and say 'I hate any of their coaches' because I like a lot of their coaches. I've known all those guys for a long time. I have a lot of respect for Hugh. I look at it as a hell of a fierce rivalry and that's really why you do this business.
Why you get in this business is to play in these types of games and this type of atmosphere. Fanbases won't like to hear that because they like to hate each other. There's not a lot of difference between our fans and their fans a lot of times. In terms of where they are from, their players are similar to our players. So I have respect for them, not hate."

It’s just fun to beat auburn regardless of how bad or good they are.
If their administration isn’t scummy, their coach is. If their coach isn’t scummy, their administration is. Outside of their previous coach, the 3 coaches they’ve had are a sex offender, that dude from jingle all the way and a corrupt Alabama senator.
