re: 2014 Rivals WR Rankings

Clemson has a white walk on freshman WR with about 30 catches, no they arent deeper than LSU at all. We are stacked with NFL talents at WR here, like usual (just not getting them all the ball).
Tigers have been an factory for WR NFL talent, too, lately.

Mark Fields listed as flip candidate to UTx by 247. Not much else said.

I was banned for a wk or so prior to the season for questioning our recruiting strategy and insisting that having 5 or so guys not qualify was a huge frick up, especially w/r/t our DL depth. People reacted like I was insane.
Well, here we are. Still haven't gotten my apology.
CoverTwo is an idiot who presents his thoughts reasonably coherently so he appears more lucid than he actually is.

We expended a lot of psychic energy in the UGA win. Need to find a way to stay focussed and determined.

Most of the 2015 guys know where they're going already. I think this game was more important for locking down our current class since it's so OOS heavy. No way you don't want to stay committed after watching that game in the stadium w/ the fan support.
re: UGA vs USC Score Predictions
Posted by CHSgc on 9/11/14 at 4:38 pm
UGA: 38
USC: 21
D just isn't ready and for all the talk a/b Spurrier surprising the dogs he doesn't coach the D.
I also predict a return to normalcy w/r/t fan relations: meaning, UGA fans acting like ingrates. The one time we did it in 2012 and they lost their minds, talk a/b cognitive dissonance.

I think the difference here is that you've stated multiple times that who UGA's rival is, to a particular fan, is different generationally, geographically or based on the status of that rival's current program strength... none of that should affect who "you" think your rival is. Gamecock fans in NC, GA and FL don't think the teams in those respective states supplant Clemson, ever. A Clemson fan in Timbuktu is going to blame malaria on Gamecocks. A Carolina fan in Canada is going to be ever so slightly miffed at the mere sight of the color orange. It just is, no matter when or where...
Exactly.
His generation thinks it's GT so he says GT b/c it was most relative to him during his formative years.
New generation thinks UF. I've still never heard a UGA fan my age EVER place GT over UF. Apparently, though, none of the people I know count b/c they run contrary to WG's shaky point. Which is odd b/c he basically admits the point I'm trying to make, which is that the new generation doesn't place an emphasis on the GT game.
Just really subpar logic all around from the graduates of the "Southern Ivy" :lol:.

The vociferousness w/ which y'all disagree is the most revealing part of this thread.

Again, you are basing this off a few people you know. That's not the whole fan base.
How many people do I have to meet? Especially when the ratio so far is approaching 500:1 in favor of UF?
How old are y'all? Y'all really seem entirely unaware of how different the younger generation feels on this subject.

What!?! You've been to a GA/FL watch party in ATL? I guess you are well versed in the subject. I concede. You definitely know more than any GA fan would know about who our rival would be.
It's just another instance of many. Not meant to be taken as the sole indicator. Try to keep up.

Thanks for the honest answer. Have you been to a tech game in atlanta before? More than 1? Do you think the fact that our fans take a week off from work to go play golf and hit the beach and party for a week makes the approach of that game a little different?
I have no clue. Do y'all play them the same week we play Clemson? Doesn't affect our passion.
quote:
In what possibly way can you quantify this?
It doesn't need to be quantified. I literally in several years hanging out w/ UGA grads every day have never heard a UGA grad just casually talk shite a/b GT. If you hang out w/ a Gamecock grad for 24 hrs you'll hear us blame the goddam weather on Clemson.
I did, though, hear many comments a/b UF and UF fans. You can take that at face value or not. Seems like you would, though, given your recognition that the U35 crowd doesn't share your views on rivals.
quote:
mentioned above. It's a fall vacation. We dont' take a beach vacation to play tech.
Yeah, b/c there's not a lot of passion there. If there were more, you would, simple as that. By the same token the same number of a team's fans aren't going to travel to the Outback Bowl as would travel for a BCS bowl. The level of intensity, passion, and what's on the line matter.
quote:
Could that be because UF has been a better football program the last 2 decades than tech? There's a reason they aren't talked about in football and it's because they suck right now. Doesn't that make sense?
EXACTLY MY POINT. Y'all can't sustain the passion for the rivalry when your rival is down. So y'all looked around and picked a new one. And now the younger generation of your fanbase doesn't even recognize Tech as your primary rival.

If you can get a massive portion of our fanbase to echo that sentiment then I'll be more than happy to acknowledge that they are our rival.

Let me ask you this also since you are so finely in tune with our fanbase. WHAT makes florida our biggest rival? I want actual answers, not just "well my buddy said so". Give me actual reasons why UF is our biggest rival over tech. Don't bother saying "they beat you from 1990-2010, because that's not what makes a longstanding #1 rival, as I'm sure you would know.
The passion and intensity w/ which your fans approach the UF game. From the smack talk, to the number of people who travel for that game, to the watch parties (that I've personally attended in ATL), to the number of times UF/UGA gets brought up in general football conversation relative to UGA/GT by UGA grads.
I've been invited to UF/UGA watch parties. I've never even heard of a UGA fan hosting a watch party for the GT game.

In fact, let me float another theory. You personally are sensitive to the charges that UGA doesn't have a true rival and recognizing that to select UF would make y'all look bad b/c it seems more convenient rather than rooted in history, you always lead the charge to get everyone to name GT as your one true rival.
The dog doth protest too much.
It's UF. For now, anyways.

Do you think a school's, not john q. fan, but the actual school's, biggest rival can/should change every so often based on the recent history of the series?
No, which is the entire point of me bringing it up: y'all are (fairly) unique in this tendency.

There isn't really as big a fracture as you think. You personally know a handful who think it's UF so that's the notion you have. You saw one person on an internet forum say the same thing. Poll 100,000 UGA fans across America old and young and tell me what you get.
My family is from ATL, a parent went to UGA, and my sister as well as dozens of my friends currently live there. I make it to Athens and ATL quite often for family reasons. I KNOW your fanbase and they hate UF, not GT.

You thinking GT is your rival and my UGA friends thinking UF and some thinking AU IS A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION.
There is no constitution-style document from which the authority to declare GT your eternal rival flows from. And the schism among your fanbase reflects that.
If you want GT to be your one and only rival then either get your fanbase in line behind it or have your administration/staff declare it.
