[QUOTE="MidtownJacket, post: 887518, member: 959"] For me it was 2008 at uGa. I was at MaTech 2003-2007 so had suffered through 3 one score losses as a student. I grew up in the Gwinnett County area and it was a 45/45/10 split of my graduating class between GT/uGa/other so it always meant as much as possible. One of my best friends (still to this day a top ten of who I’d call if in trouble) played at Georgia so it made it all the more real. Fast forward to 2008 and I went to the game with my dad, his dear friend (a major jowja donor) and his son. We had seats three rows up, on the 50yd line on the mutts sideline. We spent the whole day tailgating at their fraternity house. My dad and I both in pristine white and gold. Took all the grief we were given with poise and grace, then walked to the seats. I’ll never forget the feeling of watching our boys finally get one over on em. Walking back from the game I vividly remember thanking our host, and in an effort to be polite mentioned I hated it for him that his team lost. He responded, with the most true words I’ve ever heard about sports, by telling me not to spend a moment thinking of the opposition and only revel in the moment of success and remember the purpose of sport itself was to battle, and be tested and determine if what’s required to win was worth the effort. That day, for our boys, we walked out as the winner. [/QUOTE]
