Until further notice, whether anyone likes it or not, the current college football landscape is Georgia and everybody else!


It's great that you won the championship last year... no?

Well, at least you made the playoffs last year... no?

Ok, congrats on last year's SEC championship... no?

Ummm...

Tell me you have little dick syndrome without telling me you have a tiny dick. Georgia wants to be Bama so bad they reach to these depths to feel important. Sad little leg humpers. Like the retard on the playground. Ownership to continue in week 4!!

It’s common to discuss football in terms of decades, so no, try again. You are just mad bama is behind uga in this decade, but it’s not over, so don’t give up.

It's so funny to me that the biggest gotcha people use on UGA these days is "you only won 2 national titles in a row and not 3! Haha!!"

Can you imagine what people would've thought if you told them that 5 years ago?

Only you would think 5 titles is possible in 3 seasons.


Decade has the root of deca aka base 10 so this decade implies the current 10 year period. So 3-4 of something in a decade (10 years) is reasonable. Would you disagree?

Decades in football and pop culture are defined by the final 2 numbers of the year; for example, the 90’s are 1990-1999. Crazy how long ago the 90’s were.

The 20’s is the current decade, and that ends with 2029.

no it doesn't lol

I know you're trying to sound smart but ANYBODY reading the phrase "this decade" would automatically assume the person is talking about from the last 0-ending year to present. In this case, 2020-now.

“Since 2020” = “this decade”

Why present it as a decade if it’s just 3 years? Unless the point was to over value the position?

I can’t read OPs mind. If he wanted to say the 2020s why not just say the 2020s.

Replace would with should, and then consider this poster doesn’t think like a normal person does.

Shouldnt matter because “this decade” and “the 20’s” are interchangeable. They mean the same thing.

Not universally. This decade would apply to the current 10 year period.

Not everyone had a narrow US public education. A decade is literally a 10 year period. That is the disambiguous use of the term.

that is exactly right. And unless otherwise specified, everyone assumes a decade begins with the 0 year and goes to the 9. We are currently a few years into the decade of the 2020s. That is how everyone else except you apparently would have interpreted the post.
