Add to that the CONSTANT need for affirmation from opposing fans and you nailed it.
We are definitely spirited, BUT we have actual traditions, distinguishing traits, history, historical program relevance, and uniqueness. I hate to say it, but so does Bama, LSU, and other storied programs.
uga? They literally have grown men painted white dressed in s&m gear barking as loud as they can. Bushes on the sidelines. And.....that's it.
A direct Green Bay Packers copied helmet design (actual), tired, laughable 'mascot', typical run of the mill colors, no fight song anyone can remember, and an athletic complex named after a skid mark.
If I were an uga fan, I'd thank the Lord above for the 2 NCs during a down era for Tennessee, realize the program is on a downward trend, and eat a big bowl of STFU.
