I don't personally know any 'Bama fans that hate Georgia. They're not a traditional rival, and the head-to-head record against them (especially in the Saban era) doesn't really move the needle. My hate has historically been reserved for teams that thought covering themselves in disgusting orange uniforms was a good idea.

That being said, there are more than a few dawg fans on this site that have apparently forgotten how difficult it is to win a title, how long they wandered the wilderness without one, and now just assume they'll be easy to come by from here on out.

So, aside from a minority of delusional rantards, I'm not sure where you're getting all this hate from.

No, your original claim is that most of his stats came because of garbage time. You just kept moving the goal posts


This was the exact claim:

Mostly meaningless garbage production after the Auburn voodoo took control of the game.


Comprehension is hard for you, so Focus on the underlined words.

quote:

He gained a whooping 25 extra yards in the 2nd half of "garbage time"


Over 50% of his production came after the score was 30-7. After AU TOOK CONTROL with 3 TDS in short order.

This is fact. Man up and Accept it.

Hate in the context of a rivalry isn’t what he is referring to.

Instead, it’s Hate in the context of uga going back to back since bama won a title.

Got a single example of a dawg with this attitude in 2024, much less “more than a few”? I don’t recall any nonsense like this.

No, the actual fact of the matter is his pace was the same the entire game and your attempts to make it appear as though he only had success when Georgia gave up because they couldn't win is lame as frick.

But if you want to convince the world that Kirby Smart can't motivate a team against it's rival enough to stop them from running up the score on them, while having a RB who doesn't matter rush for over 160 yards then be my guest.

Auburn hasn't beaten Alabama like that in over 60 years, but I guess Kirby Smart just doesn't have it in him.

OR, Georgia just couldn't stop a 2 dimensional Auburn team, just like they couldn't beat a 2 dimensional Alabama team and you're just an ignorant excuse maker. Due to your weak as shite normal schedule, they were the only 2 teams you really played. Outside your 2OT win against Oklahoma where you gave up a shite ton of points.

The problem with your response is that Pace is irrelevant to my point:

ST mistake impact on scores (3 tds) vs the rbs impact on scores (3 FG’s).

Thats 21 vs 9. You refuse to admit 21 > 9.

You think I said ONLY? I clearly said MOSTLY. 2 very different concepts.

Wrong! If you think going to a place like Starkville,Auburn, Gainesville, Oxford and Baton Rouge is less difficult than your used to. Then you are in for a rude awakening. The big games here are easy to get up for, it's the ones you take for granted that bite you. Once around the block and you will understand.

Georgia loses even without the ST points.

Try again.

More clueless nonsense from you.

No one said a thing about motivation, so where the hell did you get that from?

Go ahead and ignore your reading comprehension issues.

Go ahead and ignore the irrelevance of your response.

Go ahead and ignore the real plays that happened.

After all of that, you choose to make a claim that you can’t back up at all as it is merely hypothetical. We will never know how that 9-7 game turns out if our ST plays like it normally does. Good chance the game is close.

You didn't stop them at any point in the game. Even with the ST, they still had to score.

You claim a penalty on a 4th down kept the drive alive for a TD, as if that magically teleported the ball into the end zone. Was it your ST that allowed the 42 yard TD pass as well on that drive?

When Georgia fumbled the punt and gave the ball to Auburn on the 23. Did your ST also allow them to march 23 yards in 4 plays?

And I don't even know why you are attributing the next drive to ST. Was it because you had to punt it from an extra 5 yards back and then the 15 yard penalty? Are those 20 yards what allowed Auburn to drive the 34 yards needed for a TD in 2 plays.

You are a joke.

You keep talking about garbage time when you are the losing team. Did you put in your 2nd string? Or was it still your 1st string out there getting skull fricked?

Are you sure about that?

You were very impressed by those 3 FG’s on to start the game, but that just wasn't impressive.

Bend but don’t break can win games, especially if it leads to key adjustments in subsequent drives, so let’s talk about the next 4 drives…….

You care to tell us about how many punts they had to start the next 4 drives?

Yes. In other words, I am not talking about motivation. You just made that up.

If I am talking about anything that starts with a M, it’s momentum.

Auburn scored 9 points on 3 straight drives to start the game, while Georgia only managed 10 points until the 4th quarter.

The other 7 points Georgia scored in the game were the actual garbage time points.

So now a losing team giving up points in garbage time is about momentum?

For real. Bama people just have such a hateboner for UGA these days it's kind of odd. I mean think about it this way:

Bama won back to back titles in 2011 and 2012, then had a "down" year in 2013 by starting 11-0 but ultimately not ending where they wanted. Do you think anyone in the right mind would say bama sure had a "lot to prove" goign into 2014?

You can ask "can they bounce back", you can say "how will they respond after the end of last season"..sure. But having something to "prove"? Buddy UGA doesn't have shite to prove to anybody right now.


I couldn't disagree more.

Every team has something to prove every year because what they did the previous year was the previous years team, not the current years team.

Any team resting on it's laurels is a team looking for failure. Saban would never have such a mindset, and I doubt Kirby does either.

Btw, in 2014 Alabama lost to Ohio St in the first round of the playoffs.

In 2015, people were calling the dynasty over after the loss to Ole Miss, predicting 3-4 losses on the season.

Oklahoma and Texas-that they belong in the SEC? ... It's no longer the SEC, so no.

Tennessee-that last year wasn't a fluke and CJH can lead them out of the wilderness? ... no

Georgia-now that Saban is gone can Kirby erase that Bama mental block and reclaim the SEC? ... It's a strong "possible"

Alabama-that nothing changes and DeBoer keeps the dynasty rolling?
... It's a strong "likely"

That means proving that the hyper-HUNH spread is getting you out of the SEC. It's year 4 for Heuple's shock and awe and it looks more like SEC defenses are catching on and less like you people are raising the bar.
