On the tide radio station on UA-cam they said Georgia is diet alabama and to keep watching their herschel Walker vhs tape before they act like they are about "championships" lmao very accurate
I'm 69 and have watched this play out many times. Back in the day it was General Neyland and the Bear. But has been replaced by Alabama and Georgia. For what seems like 20 years. With periodic interruptions by LSU ,Florida,and Auburn. Kirby with a little more success.Will be a force to deal with. And Nick knows his best Student was paying attention.
Josh started out in Columbus at the NBC affiliate doing Highschool and College football so he has been doing this for a while now. I am just glad he didn’t go to ESPN where they ruin sports by injecting politics into it!
Reality will soon settle itself and UGA will resume it's dwelling below Bama & UF. Mullen will rebuild tge Gators. He's done well without having to lie to the kids to get them to sign or even worse cheat, be a pay daddy like ole Kirby. UGA will exist in the company of its other brothers UT, Auburn, SC and maybe UK. Still waiting to see if Ed O is on to something or if he just happened upon the perfect storm in Burroughs and Co But i strongly believe that UGA's gravy train is about to come to a halt!
I’m an Alabama fan and I actually like Georgia. I guess it’s because I don’t personally know any Georgia fans. I just know they dislike Auburn as much as Alabama fans.
I love the Late Kick. I want to thank you guys for always putting out good content during a time when there is so much negativity. No drama. Just football and good conversation. And I appreciate that
George Mollohan they lost by 20 points in 2017 and then 27 in 2019. (Those being the last 2 times they have played.) 73-26 was the combined score of those 2 games. That’s embarrassing and undebatable. Definition of smoked.
I think we have a respect for bama and view them as the standard to beat, if we want to compete for the title. Florida is just a tradition to beat at this point, they aren’t the standard we have to beat.
You guys dont hate bama because that's ur selling point to recruits cause kirby tries to copy the Saban recipe with things since he took over now that they spend more at Georgia
I hate the we can’t close vs. Bama. That’s what really pisses me off. It’s like a mental block that we can’t get rid off. For many years we were that way with Florida too, just would straight little brother our butts off against them. Yes, our offense needs to evolve with more dynamic passing, but it’s a mental switch that needs to happen there too.
As a Bama fan, GA. Has had me worried a couple year's! I knew it was coming as soon as they took Kirby from us! But Saban was his boss for a reason! And yes everyone Bama fan's are getting spoiled! Between the Bear and Saban, winning a 🏆 Every other year is completely expected! It is the Bama standard now, the Nick Saban affect! RMFT Everyone! 😉
I was going to comment that UGA and Alabama don't really hate each other, but I think that there's a little animosity that exists. More importantly though, I believe that there's a lot of respect. As a Dawgs fan, I respect what Alabama has done in college football. In the SEC they are the benchmark right now. I want the Dawgs to fight them in a championship more than any other team. It literally means more! Question: Ask "real" fans of any current SEC team if they'd rather. They can only choose one though. A. Beat Alabama for SEC Championship? B. Beat any other team for the Natty? It seems like an easy answer to choose the Natty. Personally, I'd have to think long and hard on it. Because it's not just about the trophy. It's also about slaying a dragon. I understand that some people might not get it, but again "It means more". I'm not crazy though, I want the Natty too🤣
Georgia fans respect Saban’s Bama. We loathe the Gators. I’m torn between which is more enjoyable, beating Dan Mullen or Auburn’s Gus Malzahn, but I know I will be ecstatic should we finally beat Saban.
Brother beating Mullen and the stupidass smirk it puts on his face as he trys to blow it off like its no big deal and they're right there with us talent wise! LOL I hate Gussy as well but FL is for me much much sweeter a win even when Auburn is the higher ranked team between them. Those freakin Spurrier yrs followed by crooked old Myer were hell! That whole scenario is similar but reversed now and I'm lovin it. FL usually had the more talented team with more depth though not as much as UGA has enjoyed over FL in their own state and all others lately. Mullen must just scare recruits and their families off! He hasnt built up a strong culture, he's a 24/7 smartass, and according to recruits and their parents the main difference is the level of professionalism. Who cares as long as we keep it up! They're actually buying all this hype which will serve us well come Oct31st. Doing us a favor really. Makes them overconfident while giving us more reasons and ammo to destroy them. I cant wait. Auburn in Athens is gonna be big. We need to watch out and not slip up on that one. Gus wont be around much longer - Mullen wont either with another loss this season and if we reach 5 straight he's history although not sure who they'll replace him with. It's really amazing how horribly he's done recruiting. All this talk like he's the best coach and offensive mind in CFB yet none of the very top athletes even in FL seriously consider or commit to them especially at the QB position. Trask is far from elite and wont be a first or second round pick unless there's just an absolute drought at QB this draft.
They just want to make it a rivalry just for the hype like they did with Alabama and Clemson but really it's just 2 perennial championship contenders. If one of them stops showing up the "rivalry" stops. Alabama and Georgia are just a happenstance rivalry because they know they're likely to meet and likely have to go through each other at the moment. It's not like Auburn or LSU when it makes you wanna throw up if they even put 3 on the board against us. We have enough "rivals" at Alabama. Everyone that beats us can't be our rival. Ole miss thinks they'r our rivals, Texas A&M, Clemson, Tennesee, Lsu, auburn, plus EVERYONE comes at us like it's their last game they'll ever play. Hell we could play Army and they'd act like we're the Taliban. We have enough rivals and no intentions on adding Georgia to that list please and thank you.
Reasonable Gump LSU is just behind Auburn and Tennessee for Bama rivals. But LSU has been consistently better and more talented than both Auburn and Tennessee.
I want you to think about what you're saying here. If you as an Alabama fan think that the teams stretch was the best college football dynasty of all time. LSU beat Bama in 2010, and 2011 game of the century, then played them again (after Bama backed in to the national title, losing their division) for a national championship and LSU lost the rematch. Then in 2012 Bama drove the field to win with less than two minutes left (the year Bama blew the doors off Notre Dame for the NC and played Georgia for the defacto NC in the SEC champ game.) If LSU wins that game they play UGA for the SEC championship and national championship birth. In 2014 LSU lead the game and then kicked off the ball out of bounds and allowed Bama to drive for a field goal with no time left to take the game to Overtime and win in Overtime. In 2016, it was a 10-0 Alabama win with the one touchdown scored in the fourth quarter. In 2019, LSU goes to Tuscaloosa jumps to a 33-13 halftime lead and Bama pulls the game back to a final score of 46-41. That 2019 LSU team is the only SEC team to go 15-0 and is widely considered to have managed the toughest schedule ever and is considered one of the best teams of all time (buts that's another argument for LSU fans to have with '01 Miami, and '95 Nebraska Fans.) This is what the LSU/Alabama rivalry has brought you in those last 10 years. AND we're talking about competing with the best dynasty college football has ever seen (recruiting/coaching/results). Whether the best recruited program over 10 years won 8 straight doesn't even come close to explaining how close the series has been. Going back to the year 2000, Alabama is 11-10 against LSU. So, prior to the 8 game win streak, Alabama was 3-9 against LSU since the year 2000 when Nick Saban rebuilt the program.
@@nickl1768 What is your point with the 3-9 before Saban statistic? A lot of that has to do with Nick Saban being At LSU first of all. Second of all, everyone acknowledges that Alabama was terrible 2000-2007, so no news there. Third, no one cares... Look at Alabama's all time record against LSU then tell me if you think that we care at all about what happened between 2000-2007
Josh, what a golden point that most Auburn fans pull for Bama vs Ga..Georgia used to be like Auburn's cousin who they foughtnonce a yr, but Ga has put it to Auburn as of late..I remelber the 1980 Georgia National Title team who was a 9 win team minus Hershel..1980 to 1983 were the golden yrs of Ga.
As I posted on another video of yours, this "rivavlry" has been simmering for years. They are so close together as far as proximity it makes for some recruiting battles. Also, these are the two winningest SEC programs over the last 5 years. A local sportswriter even called this the battle for I-20. I believe the 10 game schedule is going to be a normal thing now and Bama and UGA is a natural fit. The 2020's will be dominated by Bama and UGA and will be must watch TV for the nation as CBS makes this game its primetime game of the year. I can tell you living in Alabama the hatred for UGA is real. There is a sportstalk host in Huntsville who calls Kirby Smart Kirby Freeze. He says UGA is basically evil.
I’ve been a dawg fan forever, I don’t hate Alabama, I respect them they have a leader who knows how to call plays while Uga does the same sucker play calling! You have to have an offensive head coach to win! Give lane Kiffen a few more years with some good recruits, and you all will see why offensive play calling is important!
I mean I'm a UGA fan but dont hate them,even tho lot of UGA fans do tho lol..Alabama doesn't hate us so i dont see why they would have any reason to hate UGA...I think Kirby honestly will have a better shot now with a QB guru in Monken he can help develop the offense to a higher level
You know it’s honestly crazy to think about this in the reverse, if UGA has been this close to a national championship win/play for a title, and the only thing that is keeping us out is bama, That really speaks volumes of how good bama is. Saying UGA is one game away from having 2-3 national titles this century is crazy when thinking it’s because of one team and really one coach. I’m a huge Georgia fan and always will be win or lose, but saben is the goat and deserves the most respect of any coach.
I don’t agree. UGA was very close to winning a national title in 2017 when they hadn’t quite been passed up systematically by better programs. They had a great team in 2017, won a game against OU they probably shouldn’t have, and had a close loss in a National Title game. The only time Bama kept UGA from winning a National Title was when they beat them for the ‘17 title. No way in 2018 or 2019 could UGA have made it through a playoff. Especially 2019. Not with that system. You’d get run off the field. They need a wholesale systematic change on offense. It was BAD last year. UGA has the personnel, they need the right system, so you can actual take advantage of what players you have. Perfect example with LSU last year. Bad on offense in 2018. Actually pretty similar to what UGA did in 2019, except UGA did a little better job of spreading the field... But in 6 months they completely changed it to a simplified West Coast offense with a high RPO influence and boom. 15-0, not 9-3 like last year with the same players, Burrow, Jefferson, Chase, Marshall, CEH, etc. Those guys all played in 2018 and didn’t just *get better* at football. 180 degree turn on offense and you’re the greatest college team ever. If they kept on what they were doing I’m almost certain Joe Burrow is a 7th rounder or undrafted. UGA is so close yet so far. Let’s see what Monken does, or if he’s even allowed. Third OC for Smart’s tenure on deck this season. If it looks like you’re not trying to score points again, then Smart is the issue
D Allen honestly agree with you 100 percent, it was so hard watching last year. It was just a struggle every game. Hopefully we learned and can move forward from here. I do think that in 2018 we could’ve had a decent game against Oklahoma, but in the end I think Clemson would’ve come out on top as usual so I’ll agree there. It’ll be an interesting year, especially with no spring and jumping basically into Alabama’s back yard 2 weeks into the season haha.
Preston Thornton I love your reasoning tbh, where do you get your research from? The UF community jerk off reddit? Don’t comment on a post that is actually trying to provoke a conversation, I’m open to discussing why UGA isn’t good or why they are good, I just enjoy college football man.
I think you put it well. As a Georgia alum I've never considered AL a "rival." Yes, they are the literal elephant in the room that we try not to look at, but all of our rivals are in the East. GT is a historical rival of course, but that's pretty much only tradition. Nobody gets riled up for the yearly UGA-GT game anymore. TN, AUB, and FL are the big ones.
Also i've been a die hard Bulldawg fan as long as i can remember, but Georgia has long been the proverbial also-ran team (at least until CKS). I remember being in the stands and seeing Georgia play down to weaker teams, it was pathetic... also not excusing the loss to SCar. Saban (and BAMA) gets my respect because... they are the best. Pretty hard to deny that and to hate on them because they're the best, that's pretty immature don't you think?
And now the rivalry is on fire after what happened in January. I think Bama and UGA should be considered serious rivals. We got one finally. 🙏🏿 Kirby has tapped into the hidden potential of UGA. I don't hate Bama but I certainly don't like them being a Georgia fan.
There is an old film clip of Bear addressing the team and urging them to take the next step in effort. He tells them all you need to know: "Remember, men -- you are Alabama, and they not." ROLL TIDE
As a Bama fan, I hate GA because theyre relentlessly cocky for not having accomplished all that much in the scheme of things. Also, I hate that they touch my state. Lol
I can’t hate on Georgia. My uncles went to high school with the Dooley’s and they always talked up Vince, so there’s that respect from an older Bama fan. Now, that’s decades ago and I think Richt’s running of UGA really tarnished a classy program.
UGA, tenn, A&M, Ole Miss have former Saban asstnts. Pruitt, Smart, JImbo and Lane were all special. Its easy to see they will have success. Dominating is just too hard now. The secret sauce is known and modified. As a Bama fan, Im not worried about winning anymore. Im just going to enjoy the game win or lose in its purest form. We have been more than blessed these years. Any more will just be gravy
As an Alabama fan, I have mad respect for UGA. They always give us hell. And yeah, 2 or 3 plays & it's UGA in those title games. And if I were a UGA fan...I would hate us too. For 2nd and 26 alone. But...alas I'm not. ROLL TIDE ROLL
My experience is fans from most SEC teams don't hate Bama (other than Auburn). Fans admire the program and aspire for their teams to be more like Bama. Same thing with Kentucky in basketball.
Yes we do have a small aragonance but we try to keep it respectful and in check as to not give any team ammunition for their locker rooms as Kirby knows as well because he has the same respectfulness as Saban an Alabama fans do
Georgia doesn't hate bama we just hate that dynasty they built in bama has been one of our greatest obstacles we haven't been able to get over not only in the last 4 years but even longer and they built that dynasty with alot of players being recruited from our home
Kirby Smart better break through soon. These windows close when you get close but can't beat the champion. Then other teams you're ahead of eventually catch back up too. Then the window closes. Happened to the Cubs and Red Sox for decades. Happened to the Patriots until Belicheck got there.
That was some bullsh*t in 2017. Bama got 2 NC because the committee gave them a pass for not winning the SECCG .Why?! Because they are Bama! (Insert eye roll here.) Bama got two years of what amounted to glorified byes to rest up their aching players while UGA and others are beating each other up. Two NC trophies for not winning the SECCG. Let that marinate, Josh!
What I see is fear within the Bama program . They see this monster creeping up behind them and its nothing they can do to stop it. After we beat them this season we will be your rival ... I got us beating you twice ...SEC Title game
Why cant people just be football fans instead of people like you michael. Jesus UGA is my team but i watch Bama and other teams that play. i just love football. but then you have ppl like you who probably only watch bama then get on the internet and take low jabs online at other teams. its just a game and petty people like you is what ruins the game.
@@tammaralsadkhan6739 I love football more than anything man. and i do live in the South. In Georgia in fact. I know its more serious in the south but keyword here is i love football. im not a little b*tch that hears another team and has to make a retarded remark because they arent the team i rep bud
I’m a Bama fan and I live in Marietta, Ga. I’ve never hated UGA until recently. I know a lot of UGA fans that for some reason hate us AND act as if they have won something recently. Especially this year with the regular season they had…they basically gave themselves the crown.
I WISH SO BAD Alabama vs Georgia was towards the end of the season so we could have more build up for it and give both teams more time to establish themselves. Plus I think Georgia is going to struggle the first few weeks since they're replacing ALOT more pieces than Bama ESPECIALLY O-LINE!!!!
Till this day even with all the success Georgia has had, that 2012 SEC champ game is still the greatest game to me because it was our first time playing Bama in their Dynasty, and we showed up and showed out
I’m a Bama fan and I don’t hate Georgia. I loathe LSU, I despise Auburn, I dislike Tennessee, I respect Georgia as a good program and root for them as long as they aren’t playing us.
I don’t even hate Bama.... I just don’t want them to win say over LSU, and I love those upsets Auburn pulls off. Otherwise I’d rather them win the natty over OSU, Clemson, Etc.
@@the2Atreeclimber Theres a reasoning behind this, my grandpa is an LSU fan and my friends from a while back, we were UGA, BAMA, and auburn. Our first year together as us all being friends was the 2013 kick six. after that I always loved to watch auburn try and upset BAMA.
You had a great chance to highlight how Mullen has done so much with so little and contrast to how kirby has done so little with so much. Everyone knows bama is who everyone else is chasing and who cares about 5 stars they should go 1st round anyway, unless you go to uga. The center piece to the development story was not bama but how Mullen takes 3 and 4 star guys and they get drafted higher than the 5 stars, like at uga who ranked 9th in development. Such a homer move. At some point its gonna get really heavy carrying all that water.
As a DIEHARD DAWGS fan this was extremely painful to watch. To relive just how close we were to being National Champs AT LEAST twice since 2013 only to have Alabama crush our dreams is just heartwrenching. I took my son to the UGA vs AUBURN SEC Championship game in Dec, then went with friends to the awesome UGA vs OKLAHOMA Rose Bowl, then took son and 2 daughters to ATL for the incredible National Championship Game vs Alabama. Sat with an old UGA fraternity brother and celebrated every first down and touchdown and sack against Jalen. We just KNEW we we FINALLY getting the national championship that's been eluding us for almost 30 yrs. We OWNED Bama most of the game and then got conservative. That is a KILLER for a team that is the underdog playing against a team that has seemed invincible. Whenever you go conservative against a team like that you just hang on and lose confidence that you can win. You literally are waiting for them to overtake you and they did. We should have won that game (some HORRIBLE calls against us didn't help either) but instead we didn't think we were good enough and gave it to them. I hope we will get opportunities to be in a position to make more aggressive calls to win instead of letting someone else decide if they want it more than we do.
I became a Gator Hater back because 90 thru 96 I hated the drive back to Augusta from Jacksonville after being beat again and again. It is getting close to the same with Ala.
Not only did we have to travel across the country and Back. We had another Katie Bar the door SEC Championship game against Auburn while Alabama ordered Pizza and Hot Wings, WATCHED the Georgia, Auburn and got healthy. We got screwed on that deal
I don't thin too many people realize how dominant the state of Florida was in football in the 90s. Literally Florida state, Miami, an the Florida Gators all 3 we're on top of the game.
UGA is going to have to play a tough full 4 quarters. I think our defense can make enough plays but its going to boil down to our offense. Can we move the ball and score or have too many 3 and outs. Thats my biggest fear for this game. If we can't move up the field and score our defense will get tired in the second half. Both teams have great talent on the field and I'm looking forward to knock down drag out game regardless if we win or lose.
I'm a UGA fan and I don't hate 'Bama...I'm just annoyed by their fanbase. I actually have a ton of respect for Saban and what he's been able to sustain, and that brings me to my point of contention. Tide fans (and to be fair, I could say this about any base...it's just that 'Bama has been so successful for so long) think it's them or it's the University of Alabama itself. It's not. It's your coach. If it were the program then that stretch btwn Stallings and Saban would be filled with championships. You have a GREAT coach. Enjoy it while you can, but maintain a little perspective.
Much like Clemson Georgia gets to play a candy schedule, win the east and focus its whole year on playing Bama as basically a home game. Georgia can’t beat Bama.
Man I focus on whoever we play the next game. I do feel Bama is a hurdle we must jump over and pass whereas I feel the hype surrounding FL is nothing but hype and undeserved. Yes that's always gonna be a huge game but one we have the edge on going in.
I would think Georgia would not like LSU as well. In 2003 we beat them twice and won the BCS championship. If not for the loss in regular season of 2018, Georgia wold have made the the playoff even with the loss to Bama in the SEC championship. And this year, LSU knocked them out of the playoff.
You get all that from 1 year of injuries with Bama. Man you guys are dumb. Ga played 1 elite offense last year and was torched. Your defense was great because the teams you played were offensively challenged.
Alabama and Georgia don't hate each other. They don't play often enough to hate, especially compared to UGA-Auburn or Alabama-Auburn. UGA and Alabama will root for each other when they play Auburn (or when anyone else plays Auburn). There is some envy on the part of UGA for not beating Alabama recently and not being able to win the big game like Alabama has done.
Georgia had Alabama on the ropes twice and couldn't seal the deal. Alabama had a way of turning up the volume in the 4th quarter in both the 2018 SEC title game and in the National Championship game and Georgia could not answer.
Kirby Smart had everyone on board. He has the funding. He has the recruiting. He has everything but I'm not buying that he's the dude to take over the SEC. In my opinion, he's a Saban wannabe just like Muschamp. No disrespect, I have a soft spot in my heart for Georgia. But they are on par with Bama in every aspect accept coach. I hope I'm wrong. I hope every year they take over
Yeah that take didn’t age well, and it was already sour when you typed it. The only thing keeping Kirby from a title excluding LSUs insane 2019 has been Saban at Bama. That’s been his only road block, take Saban out of the SEC and Kirby is the one wearing the crown. Not saying he’ll match what Saban has accomplished at Bama that would be insane. But I think he’ll be the coach that gets the closest to him.
Auburn players take the Iron Bowl more seriously than Bama does. That’s their national championship, ours is in January. UGA has the same goal as us. Auburn doesn’t
Georgia doesn't hate Alabama any more or less than any other team hates Alabama. (except Auburn). Georgia, along with every other team in college football, just wants what they have. The best football program in the country.
I enjoy our match-up's with Georgia, but I do not consider them a rival. For me it's: Auburn, LSU, Tennessee, Ole Miss, and Mississippi State. Strictly personal. I have ties to all (5) of these schools.
As a Georgia fan I agree with that but it depends on how you define a “rival”, Georgia is currently the only program capable of dethroning Bama and just about every game they play is a instant classic. But they don’t have a history between the two of them nor the hatred, actually the opposite there’s always a immense amount of respect showed by both teams.
Arrogance is thinking you are great when you are not. Bama has zero arrogance we just have accepted the fact that we are better most days football is played. As Bear once said it ain't bragging if you can actually do it.
Then , of course, there was the article in the Saturday Evening Post entitled something like the "Story of a College Football Fix' which was based on a claim by an Atlanta Life Insurance salesman, who I believe was a Georgia fan, who claimed that he was mistakenly connected to a call from Coach Wallace Butts, old time Georgia Coach, to Bear Bryant wherein Coach Butts gave Bear the Georgia game plan. Both coaches flied lawsuits against the Post and the resolution of those lawsuits was one of the factors in the Post filing bankruptcy. Alabama didn't play them again until Jeff Rutledge was the quarterback.
I can’t help but think if josh would have stayed independent he would eventually become a household name and he would own it all. Now I’m sure josh thought it over very seriously and is happy with his decision. I just hope he kept ownership of his show. I believe in this guy.
I think Georgia fans may dislike Bama so much because of how they've been beating my Dawgs since Saban took over. We've been blown out at home the last 2 times they met in Athens. And the last 2 meetings have been huge emotional letdowns because both games should have been won by Georgia. Other than that, I really didn't care about Bama as a Georgia fan until that 2008 ass kicking that the Tide gave my boys
We don't hate each other, the comments for both Ga. And Bama have been pretty complementary of each other. Most Bama fans wish Kirby and Scott well with their other games anyway, only Uncle Lou's odcast got a bit funny because most teams know not to give Alabama stuff like he did to post up on their locker room. Keep it up Lou because Kirby knows not too as we know not too either
Thanks Josh, but I truly do not think that Kirby has achieved the buy-in, complete program cohesion at Georgia that Saban has in Tuscaloosa. I think he’s got a couple more cooks in the kitchen and that’s hurting them especially and maybe exclusively against Alabama and his former boss. Something is missing between the hedges, not sure what it is exactly.
As a life long Alabama fan I've never thought of Georgia as a rivalry team. At least not the same way I think of Auburn and LSU. Georgia, in my mind, has just replaced Florida as the nuisance to deal with before going to the Natty. Georgia is actually more akin to.........Ohio State!

On the tide radio station on UA-cam they said Georgia is diet alabama and to keep watching their herschel Walker vhs tape before they act like they are about "championships" lmao very accurate
I'm 69 and have watched this play out many times.
Back in the day it was General Neyland and the Bear.
But has been replaced by Alabama and Georgia. For what seems like 20 years.
With periodic interruptions
by LSU ,Florida,and Auburn.
Kirby with a little more success.Will be a force to deal with.
And Nick knows his best
Student was paying attention.
I don’t know how but every topic you keep me engrossed from beginning to end.
Brian Glaze He's has become my fav
Josh started out in Columbus at the NBC affiliate doing Highschool and College football so he has been doing this for a while now. I am just glad he didn’t go to ESPN where they ruin sports by injecting politics into it!
Josh is talented. Perfect voice & cadence for this. Plus he is knowledgeable and knows how to paint a picture for the audience.
As a UGA fan, I strongly dislike Bama. But, it's only because I want my team to be as dominant as long as Bama has been.
As far as winning though Georgia still behind bama lsu Florida and Auburn, recruiting titles dont count
@@ericsigersmith6067 right and they shouldn't be. But I do think Kirby will get things right and ultimately win a few championships at UGA.
Reality will soon settle itself and UGA will resume it's dwelling below Bama & UF. Mullen will rebuild tge Gators. He's done well without having to lie to the kids to get them to sign or even worse cheat, be a pay daddy like ole Kirby. UGA will exist in the company of its other brothers UT, Auburn, SC and maybe UK. Still waiting to see if Ed O is on to something or if he just happened upon the perfect storm in Burroughs and Co But i strongly believe that UGA's gravy train is about to come to a halt!
I’m an Alabama fan and I actually like Georgia. I guess it’s because I don’t personally know any Georgia fans. I just know they dislike Auburn as much as Alabama fans.
Don’t we all haha
Feels good watching this video in 2022. Go Dawgs
It does feel good as a bama fan too, you’ll never be as good as big brother😉
Good stuff Josh, this show is great. haven't seen one like this, spot on, detailed, no wasted time
I love the Late Kick. I want to thank you guys for always putting out good content during a time when there is so much negativity. No drama. Just football and good conversation. And I appreciate that
Bring up bad memories Josh
Thank you for your candor and in the way you *realistically* lay it out. Love the show, keep up the phenomenal job. I'll keep watching.
With Georgia's last 3-4 recruiting classes, Georgia has no more excuses! Next year especially !! All those kids Kirby recruited will be seniors.
Lsu smoked uga 2 years in a row
George Mollohan how is that debatable?💀
George Mollohan they lost by 20 points in 2017 and then 27 in 2019. (Those being the last 2 times they have played.) 73-26 was the combined score of those 2 games. That’s embarrassing and undebatable. Definition of smoked.
This aged well
@greg decos And they proved you right. Georgia finally beat Alabama in the natty, nonetheless.
As a Georgia fan, very true! Everything said is true! I don’t hate Alabama as a Georgia fan. Florida is who I hate!
LIES!
I think we have a respect for bama and view them as the standard to beat, if we want to compete for the title. Florida is just a tradition to beat at this point, they aren’t the standard we have to beat.
Michael Votino Alabama is the team to beat, Florida is just another SEC team on our schedule.
You guys dont hate bama because that's ur selling point to recruits cause kirby tries to copy the Saban recipe with things since he took over now that they spend more at Georgia
I hate Aubrn too
I live in ga and alot of Bulldogs hate bama because they winning but bama don't hate Georgia
I hate the we can’t close vs. Bama. That’s what really pisses me off. It’s like a mental block that we can’t get rid off. For many years we were that way with Florida too, just would straight little brother our butts off against them. Yes, our offense needs to evolve with more dynamic passing, but it’s a mental switch that needs to happen there too.
As a Bama fan, GA. Has had me worried a couple year's! I knew it was coming as soon as they took Kirby from us! But Saban was his boss for a reason! And yes everyone Bama fan's are getting spoiled! Between the Bear and Saban, winning a 🏆 Every other year is completely expected! It is the Bama standard now, the Nick Saban affect! RMFT Everyone! 😉
I was going to comment that UGA and Alabama don't really hate each other, but I think that there's a little animosity that exists.
More importantly though, I believe that there's a lot of respect. As a Dawgs fan, I respect what Alabama has done in college football. In the SEC they are the benchmark right now. I want the Dawgs to fight them in a championship more than any other team. It literally means more!
Question:
Ask "real" fans of any current SEC team if they'd rather. They can only choose one though.
A. Beat Alabama for SEC Championship?
B. Beat any other team for the Natty?
It seems like an easy answer to choose the Natty. Personally, I'd have to think long and hard on it. Because it's not just about the trophy. It's also about slaying a dragon. I understand that some people might not get it, but again "It means more".
I'm not crazy though, I want the Natty too🤣
Georgia fans respect Saban’s Bama. We loathe the Gators. I’m torn between which is more enjoyable, beating Dan Mullen or Auburn’s Gus Malzahn, but I know I will be ecstatic should we finally beat Saban.
Brother beating Mullen and the stupidass smirk it puts on his face as he trys to blow it off like its no big deal and they're right there with us talent wise! LOL I hate Gussy as well but FL is for me much much sweeter a win even when Auburn is the higher ranked team between them. Those freakin Spurrier yrs followed by crooked old Myer were hell! That whole scenario is similar but reversed now and I'm lovin it. FL usually had the more talented team with more depth though not as much as UGA has enjoyed over FL in their own state and all others lately. Mullen must just scare recruits and their families off! He hasnt built up a strong culture, he's a 24/7 smartass, and according to recruits and their parents the main difference is the level of professionalism. Who cares as long as we keep it up! They're actually buying all this hype which will serve us well come Oct31st. Doing us a favor really. Makes them overconfident while giving us more reasons and ammo to destroy them. I cant wait. Auburn in Athens is gonna be big. We need to watch out and not slip up on that one. Gus wont be around much longer - Mullen wont either with another loss this season and if we reach 5 straight he's history although not sure who they'll replace him with. It's really amazing how horribly he's done recruiting. All this talk like he's the best coach and offensive mind in CFB yet none of the very top athletes even in FL seriously consider or commit to them especially at the QB position. Trask is far from elite and wont be a first or second round pick unless there's just an absolute drought at QB this draft.
hopefull that wont happen !!!
But we Beat them on Jan 10!! Go Dawgs!!!
They just want to make it a rivalry just for the hype like they did with Alabama and Clemson but really it's just 2 perennial championship contenders. If one of them stops showing up the "rivalry" stops. Alabama and Georgia are just a happenstance rivalry because they know they're likely to meet and likely have to go through each other at the moment. It's not like Auburn or LSU when it makes you wanna throw up if they even put 3 on the board against us. We have enough "rivals" at Alabama. Everyone that beats us can't be our rival. Ole miss thinks they'r our rivals, Texas A&M, Clemson, Tennesee, Lsu, auburn, plus EVERYONE comes at us like it's their last game they'll ever play. Hell we could play Army and they'd act like we're the Taliban. We have enough rivals and no intentions on adding Georgia to that list please and thank you.
Let’s be honest Bama LSU hasn’t been that big of a rivalry considering bama has won 9 of the last 10
Thank you.
It is now, though. You can't say that you don't have a rivalry with a team that just went 15-0, something Alabama has never done.
Reasonable Gump LSU is just behind Auburn and Tennessee for Bama rivals. But LSU has been consistently better and more talented than both Auburn and Tennessee.
I want you to think about what you're saying here. If you as an Alabama fan think that the teams stretch was the best college football dynasty of all time. LSU beat Bama in 2010, and 2011 game of the century, then played them again (after Bama backed in to the national title, losing their division) for a national championship and LSU lost the rematch. Then in 2012 Bama drove the field to win with less than two minutes left (the year Bama blew the doors off Notre Dame for the NC and played Georgia for the defacto NC in the SEC champ game.) If LSU wins that game they play UGA for the SEC championship and national championship birth. In 2014 LSU lead the game and then kicked off the ball out of bounds and allowed Bama to drive for a field goal with no time left to take the game to Overtime and win in Overtime. In 2016, it was a 10-0 Alabama win with the one touchdown scored in the fourth quarter. In 2019, LSU goes to Tuscaloosa jumps to a 33-13 halftime lead and Bama pulls the game back to a final score of 46-41. That 2019 LSU team is the only SEC team to go 15-0 and is widely considered to have managed the toughest schedule ever and is considered one of the best teams of all time (buts that's another argument for LSU fans to have with '01 Miami, and '95 Nebraska Fans.) This is what the LSU/Alabama rivalry has brought you in those last 10 years. AND we're talking about competing with the best dynasty college football has ever seen (recruiting/coaching/results). Whether the best recruited program over 10 years won 8 straight doesn't even come close to explaining how close the series has been. Going back to the year 2000, Alabama is 11-10 against LSU. So, prior to the 8 game win streak, Alabama was 3-9 against LSU since the year 2000 when Nick Saban rebuilt the program.
@@nickl1768 What is your point with the 3-9 before Saban statistic? A lot of that has to do with Nick Saban being At LSU first of all. Second of all, everyone acknowledges that Alabama was terrible 2000-2007, so no news there. Third, no one cares... Look at Alabama's all time record against LSU then tell me if you think that we care at all about what happened between 2000-2007
Josh, what a golden point that most Auburn fans pull for Bama vs Ga..Georgia used to be like Auburn's cousin who they foughtnonce a yr, but Ga has put it to Auburn as of late..I remelber the 1980 Georgia National Title team who was a 9 win team minus Hershel..1980 to 1983 were the golden yrs of Ga.
As I posted on another video of yours, this "rivavlry" has been simmering for years. They are so close together as far as proximity it makes for some recruiting battles. Also, these are the two winningest SEC programs over the last 5 years. A local sportswriter even called this the battle for I-20. I believe the 10 game schedule is going to be a normal thing now and Bama and UGA is a natural fit. The 2020's will be dominated by Bama and UGA and will be must watch TV for the nation as CBS makes this game its primetime game of the year. I can tell you living in Alabama the hatred for UGA is real. There is a sportstalk host in Huntsville who calls Kirby Smart Kirby Freeze. He says UGA is basically evil.
I’ve been a dawg fan forever, I don’t hate Alabama, I respect them they have a leader who knows how to call plays while Uga does the same sucker play calling! You have to have an offensive head coach to win! Give lane Kiffen a few more years with some good recruits, and you all will see why offensive play calling is important!
I mean I'm a UGA fan but dont hate them,even tho lot of UGA fans do tho lol..Alabama doesn't hate us so i dont see why they would have any reason to hate UGA...I think Kirby honestly will have a better shot now with a QB guru in Monken he can help develop the offense to a higher level
At yes Ga. Is very good and I'm sure we will see them once or twice again this year as it looks now, baring something unforseen
As a dawg I've never hated Alabama. Respect....
And after going to the sec championship game I respected then more. Classy bunch
Or could it be bama just owns y'all to the point of just plain making Georgia a bitch 🤣🤣🤣
Now that's class Mark Wilson! Huge R-E-S-P-E-C-T! I've always had a place in my heart for UGA.
@@prestonthornton4752 you definitely not one of the classy one's.....
January 10th, 2022. Dawgmania rises from the ashes
You know it’s honestly crazy to think about this in the reverse, if UGA has been this close to a national championship win/play for a title, and the only thing that is keeping us out is bama, That really speaks volumes of how good bama is. Saying UGA is one game away from having 2-3 national titles this century is crazy when thinking it’s because of one team and really one coach. I’m a huge Georgia fan and always will be win or lose, but saben is the goat and deserves the most respect of any coach.
I don’t agree. UGA was very close to winning a national title in 2017 when they hadn’t quite been passed up systematically by better programs. They had a great team in 2017, won a game against OU they probably shouldn’t have, and had a close loss in a National Title game. The only time Bama kept UGA from winning a National Title was when they beat them for the ‘17 title. No way in 2018 or 2019 could UGA have made it through a playoff. Especially 2019. Not with that system. You’d get run off the field. They need a wholesale systematic change on offense. It was BAD last year. UGA has the personnel, they need the right system, so you can actual take advantage of what players you have. Perfect example with LSU last year. Bad on offense in 2018. Actually pretty similar to what UGA did in 2019, except UGA did a little better job of spreading the field... But in 6 months they completely changed it to a simplified West Coast offense with a high RPO influence and boom. 15-0, not 9-3 like last year with the same players, Burrow, Jefferson, Chase, Marshall, CEH, etc. Those guys all played in 2018 and didn’t just *get better* at football. 180 degree turn on offense and you’re the greatest college team ever. If they kept on what they were doing I’m almost certain Joe Burrow is a 7th rounder or undrafted. UGA is so close yet so far. Let’s see what Monken does, or if he’s even allowed. Third OC for Smart’s tenure on deck this season. If it looks like you’re not trying to score points again, then Smart is the issue
welcome to being an LSU fan the past decade BAMA is always in the way.
Georgia is garbage and always will be
D Allen honestly agree with you 100 percent, it was so hard watching last year. It was just a struggle every game. Hopefully we learned and can move forward from here. I do think that in 2018 we could’ve had a decent game against Oklahoma, but in the end I think Clemson would’ve come out on top as usual so I’ll agree there. It’ll be an interesting year, especially with no spring and jumping basically into Alabama’s back yard 2 weeks into the season haha.
Preston Thornton I love your reasoning tbh, where do you get your research from? The UF community jerk off reddit? Don’t comment on a post that is actually trying to provoke a conversation, I’m open to discussing why UGA isn’t good or why they are good, I just enjoy college football man.
Wow unique perspective.
Keep up the good work.
Checking in from 2022 :)
Dogs should play Bama regularly. That's the best way to boost Georgia's chances to win. Play a champion until you beat them.
This subject is good to reflect on in light of the last two years.
I think you put it well. As a Georgia alum I've never considered AL a "rival." Yes, they are the literal elephant in the room that we try not to look at, but all of our rivals are in the East. GT is a historical rival of course, but that's pretty much only tradition. Nobody gets riled up for the yearly UGA-GT game anymore. TN, AUB, and FL are the big ones.
Also i've been a die hard Bulldawg fan as long as i can remember, but Georgia has long been the proverbial also-ran team (at least until CKS). I remember being in the stands and seeing Georgia play down to weaker teams, it was pathetic... also not excusing the loss to SCar.
Saban (and BAMA) gets my respect because... they are the best. Pretty hard to deny that and to hate on them because they're the best, that's pretty immature don't you think?
And now the rivalry is on fire after what happened in January. I think Bama and UGA should be considered serious rivals. We got one finally. 🙏🏿 Kirby has tapped into the hidden potential of UGA.
I don't hate Bama but I certainly don't like them being a Georgia fan.
People don't hate Alabama. People hate the Alabama fan base.
michael dyer when you win you can say all you want. Can’t be mad at that
Michael Dyer exactly!
Nice COPE from the worst fanbase in all of college football.
Bama actually wins something for their fans to crow about. Ga fans are cringe. Yall never win and still run your mouths.
A hurt dog will holler every time. Bama fans with no life living vicariously through their football team because there is nothing else in Alabama.
There is an old film clip of Bear addressing the team and urging them to take the next step in effort. He tells them all you need to know: "Remember, men -- you are Alabama, and they not." ROLL TIDE
ROLL TIDE
Georgia is the choke artist of college football 🤷🤣🤣🤣
As a Bama fan, I hate GA because theyre relentlessly cocky for not having accomplished all that much in the scheme of things. Also, I hate that they touch my state. Lol
Trust me when I say that any one not from Alabama would say that Georgia should be the ones that are mad that they touch your state.
I can’t hate on Georgia. My uncles went to high school with the Dooley’s and they always talked up Vince, so there’s that respect from an older Bama fan. Now, that’s decades ago and I think Richt’s running of UGA really tarnished a classy program.
UGA, tenn, A&M, Ole Miss have former Saban asstnts. Pruitt, Smart, JImbo and Lane were all special. Its easy to see they will have success. Dominating is just too hard now. The secret sauce is known and modified. As a Bama fan, Im not worried about winning anymore. Im just going to enjoy the game win or lose in its purest form. We have been more than blessed these years. Any more will just be gravy
As an Alabama fan, I have mad respect for UGA. They always give us hell. And yeah, 2 or 3 plays & it's UGA in those title games. And if I were a UGA fan...I would hate us too. For 2nd and 26 alone. But...alas I'm not. ROLL TIDE ROLL
My experience is fans from most SEC teams don't hate Bama (other than Auburn). Fans admire the program and aspire for their teams to be more like Bama. Same thing with Kentucky in basketball.
Yes we do have a small aragonance but we try to keep it respectful and in check as to not give any team ammunition for their locker rooms as Kirby knows as well because he has the same respectfulness as Saban an Alabama fans do
Georgia doesn't hate bama we just hate that dynasty they built in bama has been one of our greatest obstacles we haven't been able to get over not only in the last 4 years but even longer and they built that dynasty with alot of players being recruited from our home
Kirby Smart better break through soon. These windows close when you get close but can't beat the champion. Then other teams you're ahead of eventually catch back up too. Then the window closes. Happened to the Cubs and Red Sox for decades. Happened to the Patriots until Belicheck got there.
As a Bama fan... This is the team we really have to watch out for... UGA is just as hungry & tired of losing to us. With that being said... RMFT!!!!
They always come up short if they even get close. I hate em more than bama bc THEY AIN'T SHIT. WAR EAGLE
@@abaker2921 still salty about the Sec championship loss huh
@@bonafideredneck1842 you know it. Y'all played dirtier than us. Hats off to you for that
That was some bullsh*t in 2017. Bama got 2 NC because the committee gave them a pass for not winning the SECCG .Why?! Because they are Bama! (Insert eye roll here.) Bama got two years of what amounted to glorified byes to rest up their aching players while UGA and others are beating each other up. Two NC trophies for not winning the SECCG. Let that marinate, Josh!
I have never once considered Georgia a rival even on their best years..
There's dislike between the two. Alot of recruiting battles and a student-teacher dilemma
What I see is fear within the Bama program . They see this monster creeping up behind them and its nothing they can do to stop it. After we beat them this season we will be your rival ... I got us beating you twice ...SEC Title game
Why cant people just be football fans instead of people like you michael. Jesus UGA is my team but i watch Bama and other teams that play. i just love football. but then you have ppl like you who probably only watch bama then get on the internet and take low jabs online at other teams. its just a game and petty people like you is what ruins the game.
brendon mcmillan I don’t think u live in the south or Midwest. Football isn’t just a “game”.
@@tammaralsadkhan6739 I love football more than anything man. and i do live in the South. In Georgia in fact. I know its more serious in the south but keyword here is i love football. im not a little b*tch that hears another team and has to make a retarded remark because they arent the team i rep bud
Bama and UGA hatred is NOTHING compared to AU vs UGA hatred. Literally nothing.
I’m a Bama fan and I live in Marietta, Ga. I’ve never hated UGA until recently. I know a lot of UGA fans that for some reason hate us AND act as if they have won something recently. Especially this year with the regular season they had…they basically gave themselves the crown.
I've been a Bama fan all my life and the last 13 years I've been married to a UGA fan.... but hey at least she got one ring.
I WISH SO BAD Alabama vs Georgia was towards the end of the season so we could have more build up for it and give both teams more time to establish themselves. Plus I think Georgia is going to struggle the first few weeks since they're replacing ALOT more pieces than Bama ESPECIALLY O-LINE!!!!
Robert, my friend. Georgia doesn't play Alabama every year (unless they both make it to the SEC championship).
I don’t hate Georgia.
I hate Auburn.
Roll Tide!
Till this day even with all the success Georgia has had, that 2012 SEC champ game is still the greatest game to me because it was our first time playing Bama in their Dynasty, and we showed up and showed out
And you left with an L 😂
@@aankom 33-18 😉
I’m a Bama fan and I don’t hate Georgia. I loathe LSU, I despise Auburn, I dislike Tennessee, I respect Georgia as a good program and root for them as long as they aren’t playing us.
I don’t even hate Bama.... I just don’t want them to win say over LSU, and I love those upsets Auburn pulls off. Otherwise I’d rather them win the natty over OSU, Clemson, Etc.
I was going to say if Alabama ever gets out I would root for Georgia to win it all but after that comment never again lol
@@the2Atreeclimber Theres a reasoning behind this, my grandpa is an LSU fan and my friends from a while back, we were UGA, BAMA, and auburn. Our first year together as us all being friends was the 2013 kick six. after that I always loved to watch auburn try and upset BAMA.
You had a great chance to highlight how Mullen has done so much with so little and contrast to how kirby has done so little with so much. Everyone knows bama is who everyone else is chasing and who cares about 5 stars they should go 1st round anyway, unless you go to uga. The center piece to the development story was not bama but how Mullen takes 3 and 4 star guys and they get drafted higher than the 5 stars, like at uga who ranked 9th in development. Such a homer move. At some point its gonna get really heavy carrying all that water.
Lol. That aged terribly
I’m from bainbridge and proud to say I’m a bama fan roll tide roll
ROLL TIDE
Also... saunas like waterfalls, lounges fit for kings, lockers with padded sofa beds and personlized tvs in each unit... its become a little obscene.
It is obscene.
If Georgia has the buy in and support, the only thing lacking is coaching.
I don't think there is any hatred from Bama's side. I mean why be mad at a team that hasn't won a National Championship in 41 years?
Bama took the dawgs to the shed again in 2020......
Correction, Alabama doesn't hate Georgia. They're just glad that Georgia will always pull a Georgia and CHOKE. Should be renamed to Choke Artist U.
As a DIEHARD DAWGS fan this was extremely painful to watch. To relive just how close we were to being National Champs AT LEAST twice since 2013 only to have Alabama crush our dreams is just heartwrenching. I took my son to the UGA vs AUBURN SEC Championship game in Dec, then went with friends to the awesome UGA vs OKLAHOMA Rose Bowl, then took son and 2 daughters to ATL for the incredible National Championship Game vs Alabama. Sat with an old UGA fraternity brother and celebrated every first down and touchdown and sack against Jalen. We just KNEW we we FINALLY getting the national championship that's been eluding us for almost 30 yrs. We OWNED Bama most of the game and then got conservative. That is a KILLER for a team that is the underdog playing against a team that has seemed invincible. Whenever you go conservative against a team like that you just hang on and lose confidence that you can win. You literally are waiting for them to overtake you and they did. We should have won that game (some HORRIBLE calls against us didn't help either) but instead we didn't think we were good enough and gave it to them.
I hope we will get opportunities to be in a position to make more aggressive calls to win instead of letting someone else decide if they want it more than we do.
Im not really sure their were any "bad calls" that influenced that games outcome.
I became a Gator Hater back because 90 thru 96 I hated the drive back to Augusta from Jacksonville after being beat again and again. It is getting close to the same with Ala.
Been Bama fan since the Shula days and I’ve never hated Georgia
Most UGA fans dont hate Bama at all; in fact they tend to get on inordinately well.
Florida is an ENTIRELY different story however.....
Yes i hate UF with a fiery passion! Hahaha
@Matthew Walker yeah cause your coach can't beat UGA lol.
Not only did we have to travel across the country and Back. We had another Katie Bar the door SEC Championship game against Auburn while Alabama ordered Pizza and Hot Wings, WATCHED the Georgia, Auburn and got healthy. We got screwed on that deal
I don't thin too many people realize how dominant the state of Florida was in football in the 90s. Literally Florida state, Miami, an the Florida Gators all 3 we're on top of the game.
UGA is going to have to play a tough full 4 quarters. I think our defense can make enough plays but its going to boil down to our offense. Can we move the ball and score or have too many 3 and outs. Thats my biggest fear for this game. If we can't move up the field and score our defense will get tired in the second half. Both teams have great talent on the field and I'm looking forward to knock down drag out game regardless if we win or lose.
The Georgia Curse. We always have the talent but we always run into 1/1,000,000 shenanigans that never go our way.
I'm a UGA fan and I don't hate 'Bama...I'm just annoyed by their fanbase. I actually have a ton of respect for Saban and what he's been able to sustain, and that brings me to my point of contention. Tide fans (and to be fair, I could say this about any base...it's just that 'Bama has been so successful for so long) think it's them or it's the University of Alabama itself. It's not. It's your coach. If it were the program then that stretch btwn Stallings and Saban would be filled with championships. You have a GREAT coach. Enjoy it while you can, but maintain a little perspective.
Alabama is everything Georgia was supposed to be. Heavy.
Are you serious? Georgia would actually have to WIN for them to be a rival for Bama fans.
Georgia definitely is a program on the rise but as an Alabama fan I'm also concerned with LSU, Clemson and Ohio state.
Much like Clemson Georgia gets to play a candy schedule, win the east and focus its whole year on playing Bama as basically a home game. Georgia can’t beat Bama.
True. If not for Bama our trophy case would have more in it.
great video bro
Man I focus on whoever we play the next game. I do feel Bama is a hurdle we must jump over and pass whereas I feel the hype surrounding FL is nothing but hype and undeserved. Yes that's always gonna be a huge game but one we have the edge on going in.
I would think Georgia would not like LSU as well. In 2003 we beat them twice and won the BCS championship. If not for the loss in regular season of 2018, Georgia wold have made the the playoff even with the loss to Bama in the SEC championship. And this year, LSU knocked them out of the playoff.
Georgia isn't bama because of defense. Now that seems to be changing. Bamas D has been going down hilll.
You get all that from 1 year of injuries with Bama. Man you guys are dumb. Ga played 1 elite offense last year and was torched. Your defense was great because the teams you played were offensively challenged.
Alabama and Georgia don't hate each other. They don't play often enough to hate, especially compared to UGA-Auburn or Alabama-Auburn. UGA and Alabama will root for each other when they play Auburn (or when anyone else plays Auburn). There is some envy on the part of UGA for not beating Alabama recently and not being able to win the big game like Alabama has done.
Georgia had Alabama on the ropes twice and couldn't seal the deal. Alabama had a way of turning up the volume in the 4th quarter in both the 2018 SEC title game and in the National Championship game and Georgia could not answer.
Kirby Smart had everyone on board. He has the funding. He has the recruiting. He has everything but I'm not buying that he's the dude to take over the SEC. In my opinion, he's a Saban wannabe just like Muschamp. No disrespect, I have a soft spot in my heart for Georgia. But they are on par with Bama in every aspect accept coach. I hope I'm wrong. I hope every year they take over
Yeah that take didn’t age well, and it was already sour when you typed it. The only thing keeping Kirby from a title excluding LSUs insane 2019 has been Saban at Bama. That’s been his only road block, take Saban out of the SEC and Kirby is the one wearing the crown. Not saying he’ll match what Saban has accomplished at Bama that would be insane. But I think he’ll be the coach that gets the closest to him.
Auburn players take the Iron Bowl more seriously than Bama does. That’s their national championship, ours is in January. UGA has the same goal as us. Auburn doesn’t
alabama fans focus on lsu
Georgia doesn't hate Alabama any more or less than any other team hates Alabama. (except Auburn). Georgia, along with every other team in college football, just wants what they have. The best football program in the country.
I do not hate Georgia. I love the last 8 times in a roll BAMA has beat them. UGA is heart broken. Yep, Sip. Keep dreaming Pups.
I enjoy our match-up's with Georgia, but I do not consider them a rival. For me it's: Auburn, LSU, Tennessee, Ole Miss, and Mississippi State. Strictly personal. I have ties to all (5) of these schools.
As a Georgia fan I agree with that but it depends on how you define a “rival”, Georgia is currently the only program capable of dethroning Bama and just about every game they play is a instant classic. But they don’t have a history between the two of them nor the hatred, actually the opposite there’s always a immense amount of respect showed by both teams.
That was as well said as possible
Arrogance is thinking you are great when you are not. Bama has zero arrogance we just have accepted the fact that we are better most days football is played. As Bear once said it ain't bragging if you can actually do it.
Then , of course, there was the article in the Saturday Evening Post entitled something like the "Story of a College Football Fix' which was based on a claim by an Atlanta Life Insurance salesman, who I believe was a Georgia fan, who claimed that he was mistakenly connected to a call from Coach Wallace Butts, old time Georgia Coach, to Bear Bryant wherein Coach Butts gave Bear the Georgia game plan. Both coaches flied lawsuits against the Post and the resolution of those lawsuits was one of the factors in the Post filing bankruptcy. Alabama didn't play them again until Jeff Rutledge was the quarterback.
A good point.
I can’t help but think if josh would have stayed independent he would eventually become a household name and he would own it all. Now I’m sure josh thought it over very seriously and is happy with his decision. I just hope he kept ownership of his show. I believe in this guy.
Its not a rivalry until Georgia wins... just one team have there way with the other..
12 SEC Title game still hurts more then losing in 17 because we should have won that game. Not sure UGA has had an Offense that good since.
As a DAWG Fan Alabama is not on our hate list until game day.... GT, Florida, then Auburn.... That has been the hate.
I think Georgia fans may dislike Bama so much because of how they've been beating my Dawgs since Saban took over. We've been blown out at home the last 2 times they met in Athens. And the last 2 meetings have been huge emotional letdowns because both games should have been won by Georgia. Other than that, I really didn't care about Bama as a Georgia fan until that 2008 ass kicking that the Tide gave my boys
What will it take for Georgia to beat Alabama? I don't know
We don't hate each other, the comments for both Ga. And Bama have been pretty complementary of each other. Most Bama fans wish Kirby and Scott well with their other games anyway, only Uncle Lou's odcast got a bit funny because most teams know not to give Alabama stuff like he did to post up on their locker room. Keep it up Lou because Kirby knows not too as we know not too either
Thanks Josh, but I truly do not think that Kirby has achieved the buy-in, complete program cohesion at Georgia that Saban has in Tuscaloosa. I think he’s got a couple more cooks in the kitchen and that’s hurting them especially and maybe exclusively against Alabama and his former boss. Something is missing between the hedges, not sure what it is exactly.
Real talk as a Bama fan you have to respect UGA trophies or not they deserve it and their time on top will come
💯💯
As a life long Alabama fan I've never thought of Georgia as a rivalry team. At least not the same way I think of Auburn and LSU. Georgia, in my mind, has just replaced Florida as the nuisance to deal with before going to the Natty. Georgia is actually more akin to.........Ohio State!
Since when did UGA and Bama hate each other?
Go Dawgs!
I’m on the Mississippi Alabama border and we don’t even think about Georgia at all
