Guide to holding effective conversations with uga fans

[GlennW]

Winning a big rivalry game isn’t just about the the game itself; it’s a year-round conversation topic that follows die-hard fans like a halo or a stench, depending on the game’s outcome. It tints every discussion at the water cooler and sports bar for 364 days, and the victors manage to work in a mention of that win as often as they can. That’s why it’s important not to shoot all your bullets at once. Subtlety is the key to the psychological torture that Georgia Tech fans will be able to inflict this week and throughout the next year.

That's hilarious. "Bloomin' onions are no small consolation ..."

MOst decent(use that term loosely) ga fans will debate on the game and give credit where its due but.........they are already throwing MR under the bus....wins nine a year and two losses in eight yers vs us and they want his head......the blame willl be on his head not on how bad they played and how good we handled them.

Yes, they are extremely delusional about the talent on their team. I was flabbergasted at how optimistic their predictions were for the Dwags this year. I mean, they lost four games last year and they thought they'd be playing for all the marbles? Really? With the same D? Until Gurley got hurt, they were a legit top 10 team (about 9th, I'd say), but after he went down, they were no more then good.

It's strange. "Motivated reasoning" I think the shrinks call it.

Nailed it. Absolutely nailed it

I tried to buy two of an $11.00 item that was 50% off in a walmart in athens. It was not in the computer, the manager and cashier tried doing the math (had to write it out on paper) and tried charging me $8. I calmly explained that it should be $11 plus tax...their minds were blown.

My gf at the time was a uga grad, she wouldn't make eye contact with me as this was happening.

It sucks to be U(sic).

I went to a pet store in Athens once where the cash register was down and the cashier had to use a calculator. She was literally in tears.

That's too funny and in Athens no less!

That's probably the best part. It's like, "Uh, honey how long are you gonna look at the 5hr energy displays?"

A short set of bullet points:

Step 1
Be condescending.

Step 2
Act like it’s not a rivalry.

Step 3
Don’t let them forget about the officiating.

Step 4
Remind them that the Jackets were not at full strength.

Step 5
“So, have you guys figured out which bowl you’re going to yet?”

Step 6
Be subtle.

Step 7
Continue to cheer on the Yellow Jackets as loudly as you can.

 

[GTpdm]

Wait…they left one off:

Step Zero
Speak using only monosyllabic words, avoiding the use of complex sentence structures that involve conjunctions or prepositional phrases.

Step 4- find a topic you can both agree on, like "that Richt is one stupid SOB huh?" Or "Wow, chubb is definitely not the next Hershael Walker is he?"

 

[YJAlleyCat]

When I talk to dwaggies, I tell them, "Sit. Stay."

 

[GTNavyNuke]

Bulldogs are the 42nd smartest breed out of 44 evaluated.

I hate to see the other two.

Yeah, that's what UGA grads call "stress" on the job. These idiots couldn't last a day at GT.
