[QUOTE="4shotB, post: 388088, member: 844"] Mike, I live in TN so the "10-12 year" hypothesis was solidified here. That's how long it took for the NC license plates to disappear after their natty in '98 iirc. However, the idea was formed whilst living in Ga. after their '80 one. So we have to hope that Bama wins. Or rely on corollary 1 to the law of 10-12. Corollary 1 says the period of suffering can be diminished by only 2 things - A) the passage of the prerequisite 10-12 years* (see footnote) or B)winning our own natty after theirs. In terms of importance, the most recent natty trumps any others. *Footnote - I am in my "autumn" years. The passage of time has seemed to speed up. However, an event like Uga winning the natty will make the next 10 years seem like an eternity. I could move back to Georgia to make it feel even worse. (I could also make time slow down by travelling near the speed of light, but that's not likely to happen.) So the next decade could actually "feel" longer than the actual elapsed time. So there is that. I am trying to be the "glass half full" guy here. However, my most likely strategy is to cheer for Bama. Something I never thought would happen. Of course, earlier in life, I never thought I get married or "get out" of GT either.So, the word "never" should cease to be part of my vocabulary. [/QUOTE]
