Well my mother is from Augusta I suppose this is why I even became a bulldog fan. I'm now 36 and the ONLY team I've ever rooted for was UGA its all I've ever known. I'm also a braves fan and have fan mail from the 80's when the only player worth a shite was Murphy.
And you would should ask my wife about "my pain" when Georgia loses. She leaves the house. But I do however see your point Jefferson I just tend to not agree with it.

Bob Horner, Bruce Sutter, couple other pretty good players too.
A native would know that. Hell, I ask my wife she got more sense.

And that's a beautiful story which I respect. And I'm not the gate-keeper of who can be a fan and who can't. But.....thank you for understanding my point. I stand by it.

No one should give a flying rat frick about how a Georgia fan became a Georgia fan.
And no one should give a flying rat frick if someone does, or if someone feels like a superior Georgia fan because of who gives a frick.
If someone wants to feel like a 'better' Georgia fan than someone else - good on 'em. But don't let that effect how you feel and don't waste time arguing with 'em.
Go Dawgs - beyond that - frick 'em all.

Bruce Sutter's kid was on my little league team. We got all kinds of cool braves stuff in the 80's. I have a baseball with the signature of every 1987 Brave.

I guess my point was the braves stunk in the 80's and I was no sidewalk love them when they're good type of fan. But anyway I guess my point is it doesn't really matter where you are from or where you are at (Ohio sucks balls) you can be a true fan of a team not of your own state. However Georgia natives I can and do understand your points on the topic.

Where did you play LL?I helped coached a LL team in Sandy Springs that had 1 of the Braves kids (I thought it was Sutters)could be wrong it was a long time ago and I was only a part time coach.

I collected them in the '70s. Took great care of them and my mom never threw them away. Now have 'em all in plastic - several hundred of them.
My pride and joy is a '72 Roberto Clemente. Last season before he was killed in the plane accident. Worth $3,200 mint.
My whole collection is now worth close to 30K. Including Dale Murphy's rookie card.

Damn nice! I wish I had that insight I would be sitting on a nice collection now myself. I say I buy the cards for my boy but I think its a little for myself as well.I still have maybe 100 older cards might be worth something who knows. I haven't busted out a becks since the early 90's!

Loved collecting cards in the 70s. Even collected some football cards, including a Steve Spurrier rookie card.
I took real good care of them, but all credit goes to my mom, who kept them in good condition and gave them back to me after I got married.

Personally...if you never went to the old Fulton County Stadium...or read Lewis's column on Sunday's in the AJC...or went to the Cyclorama as a kid...or don't like the Varsity.....or never went to Charlie Williams Pincrest Lodge....
You just don't get it.

Also...the old Braves where pure gold.
Where else could you have a fat 3rd baseman hit 4 homers in a game (I was at that one BTW) and wasn't Rafael Ramirez cross eyed?

Add to that also.... If Okefenokee Joe ever showed up at your school with burlap sacks and wooden boxes full of poisonous snakes.

I remember the let down of the cyclorama, and also eating a bagged lunch in the nearby park............but most of all, I remember buying a switch-blade comb in the Cyclorama gift shop. Holy shite. That was the fricking Greatest thing ever..

or did Six Flags and Whitewater in the same summer or went to a car and/or boat show at the GWCC. And how about Rock Eagle - if you never went there for a field trip or an organizational conference or some such, you may as well be from Abu Dhabi.
