Game Eight: Florida vs. Georgia

VS.

My only Florida-Georgia game came in 2005 when the 14th ranked Gators rose up and took out the undefeated #4 Bulldogs. At the time, there was a perception that Georgia still needed to prove themselves, so maybe they weren't the fourth best team. But it was another chapter in the current history of Florida-Georgia; the Gators will always win.

Now Georgia fans have an argument beyond the history of the rivalry but they have also awakened a Sleeping Giant. Those of us who came of age in the Spurrier Era sent more hatred to Florida State and Tennessee. Now we finally see what all those old Gators were talking about. Nice job, Georgia. The generation of Gator fans who have experienced more athletic success than any other, now hate you.

DESTROY THEM.

You went to the orange sleeve game?

Oh, and second 'graph:

Try spending 5 years of your life in southern GA. You’d learn to hate them.

I couldnt believe the lack of class reading Geogia's site on here.

Wanting knee injuries and such to our players.

And blaming the refs? You got killed by a better team, and if the refs were worse to either team, it was US. I know it sucks to lose, but their fans went a bit low.

So yeah, they fall well below LSU now for me now. I still like Alabama best of the big 3 rivals, and Auburn is still my 2nd favorite in the entire SEC. Screw Georgia.

We did get a lot of breaks today though.

Wasn’t the best officiating I’ve seen.

Nobody's paying attention!

Please stop shaking the orange and blue pom-poms for one second and step back and look at this with some sense. Georgia has owned Florida ever-since this rivalry started so let’s not get this mixed up. I have been to every SEC stadium and by far the Gator fans are the worse fans in the SEC. The have ugly girls and their half Yankees. Also, what’s with all these sour LSU fans after UGA on here. Sorry Knowshon rammed his foot in your ass but that doesn’t mean you gotta hate on the fans. LSU, you should know your place, you will be the best 4 loss team in the nation this year, much like Florida last year. So Chomp on that! WHAMMY!

Hey DFine22

Which high school team is yours? I ask because surely there is no college out there who would admit someone with your deplorable grammar skills.

Please tell us more about your vast experiences in visting every SEC stadium. Somehow, I doubt the validity of that claim….

The weather is here wish you weren't a Gator!

Well my tour around the SEC was made over about 6 years and it was a great journey of fun and excitement. My only regret is that SkiGator couldn’t get off work from the Piggly-Wiggly to come carry my luggage for the trip. WHAMMY!
