[QUOTE="Bruce Wayne, post: 110835, member: 231"] What really cracks me up about this annual attempt by UGA fans to wax philosophical over who is and isn't a rival of theirs is that they are implicitly lodging a [I]complaint [/I]about winning the series with Tech too often. Think about the logic of it: 1) Tech-UGA have played since 1893, played each other 109 times, are the two highest level college football programs in the state, the annual game has a [I]nickname [/I](for cryin' eye!), the state governor presents the winner with a trophy each year . . . so it is [I]clearly and definitively [/I]a rivalry game. There is no room for debate on that basic point and to deny it is to not understand what the term "rivalry" means. 2) UGA has dominated the game overall (64-40-5) and are currently 12-2 under Richt. 3) Large segments of UGA fanbase begin to routinely downplay the game and even flatly deny that Tech is a rival of theirs. 4) What they (if able to clearly form and follow a line of logical reasoning) really should want to say is stte of "Man, Tech sure hasn't been keeping up their end of this rivalry. They are not much of a match for us and if they can't compete then it makes this a far less exciting rivalry than our other ones." 5) But they do not say that, that is, they don't simply [I]directly [/I]criticize Tech. Instead they want to take a completely [I]arrogant [/I]approach and treat Tech with condescension at best and[I] utter contempt [/I]at worst and so deny that the game is even a rivalry one. And so we are left to logically conclude that they actually would [I]prefer [/I]to lose more games to Tech. Well, here is hoping that you get what you ardently wish for Dawg fans! [/QUOTE]
