What is the word men call people that act like that?

A passionate fan.

You can say all this in hindsight a week later after we won .

True.

But when I said what I said, Bennett had done nothing but turned the ball over against Bama when it mattered most. I said what I said, if I was embarrassed, I could've erased it at any time.

Then you should have.
A fan supports his team. Early in a big game you don't start calling the players names and remove support. They are not robots.

You called Bennett all kinds of names. He won the Most Valuable Player Award for the game.

Think about that. You SHOULD have been embarrassed about what you said, because you showed a total lack of understanding about football.

Many fans say shite like that in the heat of the moment, if you can't handle it, stay off the internet. You mad because I said something in frustration when we were in the midst of doing what we always do when it mattered most.

---

No. I'm mad because you came on here lecturing people about how the board was "unreadable" when you were one of the reasons it has become unreadable.

A little piece of advice? Instead of doubling down and acting like no harm no foul, learn from your mistakes and act like an adult. Own your mistakes and learn. But definitely don't lecture other people on how they should act after acting the way you did.


Stetson Bennett probably won't ever see what you wrote. But a good rule of thumb? Don't say anything about anybody you wouldn't say to their face.

For supporting the team?

I absolutely hated fans like you with a passion.

After a big game we won they would ask for autographs, sweat bands, chin straps off our helmets....anything.

After a loss they would see you come off the field and call you crap and make comments about how their grandmother could play better. (This in a season in high school in which we finished 9-1, 4th in the state and made the playoffs. The only game we lost we lost 7-6 to the #2 ranked team in the state)

I guess those were passionate fans?

It really does concern me that a generation of fans think that folding on your team when shite gets tough is “passionate” and people who call you out on it are “bitches”. This may be why they are having trouble with rest rooms and pronouns.

I have no idea what you are ranting about. It’s borderline incoherent. But it’s clear you take criticism of Bennett personally for some reason I can’t discern. The fact that you see the world in terms of “Stet Nation” and “JT Nation” is telling. Perhaps I just didn’t pay enough attention to this faux debate like you did, but from what I saw, I didn’t see more than a few idiots on either “side.” Again, I could be wrong, but don’t think so. Personally, I’ve cheered for Stetson and any other player representing my alma mater for the past twenty years. I’ve had a hell of good time this whole season. Seems like some “fans” are incapable of doing that, and it makes one sad.

Ya might want to read the comments from Chip Towers original tweet, which is what this bullshite article you've provided refers to. No one in his comments that were in attendance knew wtf he was talking about. No boos, no starting QB announcement over the PA, suspected of making it all up.

Chip Towers Twitter accuses UGA fans of booing Stetson

There were some in there that said they did not hear the boos, and there were as many that did say they heard boos. One even claimed they were not booing Stetson Bennett, but they were booing Kirby Smart's decision to start Bennett. (How that is different, I'm not sure)

Tell you what though. We had plenty on this board that were booing.

some of these folks see Bennett as their vicarious personal avatar, so any criticism of him is criticism of them.

Bravo. Cutting through all the noise and bullshite on this topic, this is the post of the year in terms of concisely stating the real explanation for their obsession. THIS is truth. At the end of the day, it's really about five or six posters who view themselves as the moral crusaders for Bennett and are preoccupied with labeling critics as cünts.

What do those five or six posters have in common? Old crackers! It's not surprising that they would be so defensive of Bennett, considering that he's emblematic of the country boy with poor pedigree who overachieved. He really is their personal avatar and hero. Any criticism of him is criticism of them.

Our obsession?

Maybe you should think about this.
Had the Bennett criticizers made a few comments and dropped it, nobody would have said a thing. The fact the subject dies down and you keep returning to stir it up again shows who is obsessed. Even after winning a title you can't leave it alone. You have to take one last shot.


But it isn't one last shot is it?
You'll be compelled and obsessed to come back here and have another shot, won't you?


Yes. You will.

How so? He is still what I've always said: an undersized, low pro potential QB who has been extremely fortunate to be surrounded by layers of current and future NFL talent at virtually every position. If Kirby could recruit and retain actual top shelf QBs like he does RBs or LBs, chances are this guy never sees the field at UGA.

Bennett hasn't disproved anything, as I have never once claimed we would not win a particular game or a championship with him.

UGA and about three other teams are so far above the college football field in talent that Bennett would have to completely incompetent for us to fail. But we can and should do better at the position. We shoot for the stars at every other position in our recruiting. Parade All Americans and future pros all over.

Seems to me that the "keep bringing it up" is other posters starting threads like: "A question for Stetson haters" and other posts and comments, ad nauseam. Seems like a few of y'all can't let the topic go and that's where him being your personal avatar comes in.

If you've been tracking other sites and news outlets, there are sizeable numbers who feel similarly about Bennett. He probably added to it post-title by showing a bit of the unfounded arrogance that was previously known more to insiders.

Perhaps it's time to accept it and move on? Bennett is where he is through a mix of UGA fumbles in QB recruitment and retention, a bit of bad luck for others, and possibly a dose of Kirby's personality. Will Kirby really try to get a portal QB like Williams or Dart - or flip Rattler - players who could take the job on day one? Probably not because that's where the "if we win the title" promises to Bennett came into play. It is what it is.
