I lived in Atlanta in the 90s. I can confirm that only the Braves were discussed in the 90s and how much they wanted to shut spurrier up every year…LOL they only beat Florida once in 1997 in the 90s.

So they truly had their 20 years in the wilderness too…Now if Alabama can just go there along with Florida and Georgia again.

Cox and Shuerholtz (sp) spoiled us Braves fans no doubt. You are right, that was the only thing we all had in common back then, we all loved the Braves and couldn't wait for baseball season. I graduated in 94 and I can tell you I didn't have one friend that was a uga fan, and the guys I played football with back then all wanted to go to Auburn, Clemson, gt, or Fsu, they recruited metro atlanta very well back then.........not to mention we got alot of highly rated kids ourselves from Georgia. Nobody back then wanted to go to Georgia and play football.

I remember a while back getting in an argument with an idiot uga fan who refused to believe we beat them 9 years in a row and technically they were winless in the 90s against us since we only played 9 times in the decade. These idiots think cfb started in 1980, took a 20 year break, and Kirby will end up being the greatest of all time. Its like they only played football on a part time basis till Kirby.

Back in the 90s there wasn't any uga fans down here, they were all fsu, fla, or UT fans. I didn't even see uga license plates on the front of cars much till early 2000s. Some fair weather fans down here. Richt only had till about 2008 till they all became bammer fans down here. More bammer tags than uga tags for probably 8 or 10 years until Kirby won his first..........ask them though and they've been fans their whole life.

UGA fans are the worst. Every one of them has selective amnesia. They only talk about the past 7 or 8 years and everything else never really happened. I hope we beat the crap out of them in Knoxville. We've usually always been competitive, or flat-out better than them, until the last 8 years. Butch almost beat them multiple times 👀. . .

Since they act like their "down" decade never happened, we should forget about their good 10 years. I hate it though. . . seeing them talk like they're in the middle of the greatest dynasty to ever exist, when in reality they've only had a few elite years.

Absolutely, since living down here, they have moved up past fla on the hate scale. I feel dirty saying this but I pull for Fla to beat them unless we need them to win..............Now they are both still about a million miles behind the bammers but that's expected, Ima Tennessean, we hate bammers, its what we do.

Oh how quickly we have adapted our norm expectations when consuming media content. I remember watching about 5min worth of commercials after what seemed like 15min of content. No way to skip. It was torture but it was the norm. Now I get antsy after a 45sec YouTube ad while watching videos.

Now I'm watching Sports Talk J's latest video and in the middle I am now on a 4:15 commercial on how to freshen my dog's breath. No option to skip or fast forward. I can live with :30 - :45 second commercials, but this 3 and 4 minutes is insane!

The notion of msu being 4-0 and then beating us and considering it an upset is something. If msu is 4-0, idk if that should really be considered an upset. I doubt that happens, but I always have said that msu is a trap game for us

Doesn’t matter if they’re 4-0 or 0-4. It would be a huge upset.

I still hate the Florida team worse (it's close), but I hate the UGA fans by a lot more. Seeing a grown man wear a dog collar, crawl around on the ground, bark at people while chasing them, and believe they're so cool for it, just does something to really crank up my hate meter. I hate that someone can be so stupid and so proud of it at the same time

They start with So Miss, Arizona State, Alcorn State, and NIU with all but So Miss at home. If they get past ASU, they will likely be 4-0. But they won't necessarily be "good."
