You know, we played Kent State in 98. Just saying.
We tagged 7 TDs on Kent State and beat LSU in Death Valley two weeks later.
That is the difference.
tOutstanding.
Joe, seriously?
Fine, if Kent State doesn't do it for you then just insert any one of these you choose:
Akron
Youngstown State
Northwestern
Minnesota
I'm pretty sure they have played Bowling Green a few times, also.
Well done.
I was at one of those in Orlando when the Bulldogs beat the Buckeyes in the Citrus Bowl.
Mo Buck.. LMAO
Heard a funny on Rivals radio this week. If you lined up the helmets of the first four OSU opponents, it spells YAWN. A pretty accurate description of OSU's season.
If I recall correctly, I believe Ohio State's last win against an SEC opponent was in 1988 - against LSU.
I was 8.
Ha!
Yeah and we would've beat tosu in '98 too. Maybe the NE media pundits will finally realize that Michigan, Notre Dame and Ohio State aren't the end all be all of college football. Nah it'll never happen. In the meantime we'll just keep playing the best football in America in the south and the apologists up there can live with their hollow 9 and 10 win seasons. I don't give a damn if we go 8-4 at least I know we earned it.
Anyone know what was the final rankings for strength of schedule are?
Great stuff there. The Big 10 or 11 is down the tubes. Finally the rest of the country is realizing it except in the midwest.
LSU- 11
UGA- 6
USC, the BEST! TEAM! EVAR!- 64 (heh)
tOSU- 34
mizzou- 12
WVU- 29
kansas- 60 (BETTER than USC's. heh)
VT- 5
OU- 24
BC- 36
texas a&M played the best schedule in the country. northern illinois played the worst (hawai'i's game against UGA pushed them out of the cellar).
hawai'i had the worst schedule by far in the top 25. USC, the BEST! TEAM! EVAR!, had the second-worst. heh.
According to Sagarin (these rankings include bowl games as well):
LSU: 11th
Georgia: 23d
Southern Cal: 29th
Suckeyes: 53d
Mizzou: 25th
WF'nVU: 40th
Kansas: 74th
VaTech: 36th
Oklahoma: 44th
Boston College: 45th
Sag says UCLA had the toughest schedule, and Hawaii's was still the easiest in D-IA -- though relative to all D-IA teams, Hawaii's SoS did get bumped up from 137th to a sizzling 132d by virtue of playing UGA.
And here are the SoS rankings for each of the SEC teams:
Florida: 3d
South Carolina: 8th
Tennessee: 9th
LSU: 11th
Ole Miss: 13th
Vanderbilt: 15th
Kentucky: 17th
Georgia: 23d
Alabama: 30th
Mississippi State: 33d
Auburn: 35th
Arkansas: 43d
So two-thirds of the conference played a tougher schedule than the mighty Trojans -- that oughta make Heismanpundit's head spin -- and even the biggest wusses in the SEC played a tougher sked than tOSU.
In fact, only two Big 10 schools, Michigan and Illinois, played schedules that were any tougher than what anybody in the SEC played. They were 37th and 42d, respectively.
I think Herbie still holds a grudge against UGA for what happened to him in that Citrus bowl
Oh, and by the way, we dropped EIGHT touchdowns on Kent State in '98. I was there.
Yeah, we played Kent State in '98.
We also got stomped by the likes of Tennessee (the eventual national champs) and we were soundly beaten by the gators yet again.
So we weren't prepared for the SEC, either. The only impressive win we had that year was the win at Auburn.
We won by one point at LSU, but they finished 4-7 that year. So it took a little of the luster off winning at Death Valley.
I went to Georgiadogs.com and looked at the 1998 schedule again. Yes, we dropped 56 on Kent State, but did we really give up 38?!!? If so, that's embarrassing. I seem to remember UGA's defense being loaded with future pros.
Dawg19,
The Kent State score was 56-3. There is a mistake on Georgiadogs.com. It also says the South Carolina score that year was 17-38 when it was actually 17-3.
W. Bull
2007 Final Strength of Schedule Ratings
http://www.gberatings.com/sos/
1 Mississippi
2 Texas A&M
3 South Carolina
4 Oklahoma State
5 Nebraska
6 Florida
7 Georgia
8 Kentucky
9 Alabama
10 Washington
11 Auburn
12 Virginia Tech
3 LSU
4 Mississippi St.
15 South Florida
16 Arizona
17 Tennessee
18 UCLA
19 Vanderbilt
20 Iowa State
Notice 11 of the top 20 teams are SEC. Only Arkansas at 33 is below that.
W. Bull...
Thanks. I knew something had to be wrong. It also reads incorrectly that the Tennessee score was 22-38. I remember that game well because Gameday was there. During ESPN's pregame, Bill Goldberg (who was a star wrestler at the time) delcared to Tennessee "YOUR NEXT!!"
Then we promptly got humiliated 22-3.
I guess they are playing Crazy 8's over at Georgiadogs because three different scores have 8's added to the final score. (Kent State, USC, UT)
So put aside the Big Ten contract with the MAC, LSU definitely had a concrete schedule. Tulane, Miss St, Middle Tennessee St, LA Tech and Ole Miss are all top tier programs.
You'll always be rednecks and hillbillys who think NASCAR is a sport . . .
NYC Buckeye
I think I love you.
to 10:42:
LSU, like most of the teams in the SEC, played a better schedule than Ohio State. Hands down.
Cherry-picking won't solve this.
Doesn't really matter who LSU played. They kicked the ever-loving shit out of OSU.
So that is that.
Will OSU make the National Championship game next year after USC beats them by 42 in the regular season?
Do you ever get the feeling while watching an SEC game that you are actually watching the sequel to "Deliverance"? Everytime the cameras pan over the stands I get that idea . . .
Another thought: I wonder if the results would be the same if SEC-Big 10 bowl games were played in Big 10 weather? I doubt it. The Sugar, Outback, Gator and Citrus Bowls all are basically home games for the SEC . . .
Since the BCS started, the Big Ten and SEC play two bowl games against each other every year, in Orlando and Tampa. This is where the conferences send their top two non-BCS teams. If the SEC is really so much deeper, then that conference should dominate those two games.
Yet in the BCS era, the Big Ten has won 11 of those games, the SEC nine.
No doubt the SEC was a better conference this year, but we're only talking about 1 year. Ohio State may be 0-9, but Michigan is 5-2 against SEC teams. I'm just saying...
The WEATHER? You're blaming the WEATHER?
Pal - Michigan hasn't played an SEC team on the Road since 1922. Their only trips into SEC or ACC country were in the early 80s vs. a door mat South Carolina team (who was then an independent).
If you want to talk about the weather, how about you send the Big 10's best and brightest down here in late Aug/early Sept and see how the blood flows.
I mean get serious.
As for UGA...we haven't lost to a Big 10 team since 1955.
The closest thing would be a loss to PSU in '82 when they were an independent.
http://www.chicksthatchew.com/images/SECspeed.jpg
i like that picture better.
Since 2000, NFL teams have drafted 59 Ohio State players. Twenty-eight were first-day picks -- guys drafted in the first three rounds.
No SEC team can match that. Not one.
few questions: When was the last time Georgia won a National Championship? A. 1980. (Ohio State won in 2002...)
When did someone from Georgia last win the Heisman? A. 1982. (Ohio State -- 2006). How many total Heisman winners in Georgia history? A. 2. (Ohio State -- seven)
Making a bowl for a Big Ten team is like adding another road game. Think about it:
Ohio State vs. LSU, in New Orleans
Michigan vs. Florida, in Orlando
Penn State vs. Texas A&M, in San Antonio
Illinois vs. USC, in Los Angeles
Purdue vs. Central Michigan, in Detroit (OK, this one really doesn't count)
5 of 8 Big Ten teams had to play in their opponent's home state.
I, for one, would like to see some of these fair-weather teams travel to Big Ten country and play in our stadiums. It may not change the outcomes, but I'd like to see it happen!
Anonymous @ 5:30:

What, you mean because LSU bent Ohio State over and made them squeal like a pig?
Yeah, now that you mention it, I did kind of get that impression.
everyone wants to talk down about ohio state this year but they did loose there 4 best offensive players. this was supposed to be a rebuilding year the buckeyes and they still made it to the national title game.
I guess that shows how bad the Big 10-should-be-11 really is. And those wins over Akron are *very* impressive. I guess they had the pollsters snowed!!
"Since 2000, NFL teams have drafted 59 Ohio State players. Twenty-eight were first-day picks -- guys drafted in the first three rounds.
No SEC team can match that. Not one."
Then why do you keep losing to the SEC, Frank?
Hey Frank, the REAL Frank Sinkwich was quoted as saying "if I had known what it was like down South earlier, I would have crawled here on my hands and knees". Says a lot for Ohio, doesn't it?
SEC is a great college football conference, I have no beef with that. My beef is with the fact that the average SEC fan makes no attempt at a balanced perspective. If you look back to the 90's and early on this decade other conferences (particularly big 10) stand up pretty well against the SEC.
Michigan by the way was 6-2 against the SEC during Lloyd Carr's tenure, including 5 bowl wins (all against top tier SEC teams Florida (2 wins), Auburn, Bama, Ar-Kansas)
Western Carolina and Troy...but you're right, Ohio State is the ONLY team in America that schedules cupcakes.
I can defend one of their games: Youngstown State. Tressel's former school; he tried to play Ohio State every year when he was there, and was turned down. Tress vowed not to do the same, and scheduled the Penguins as a thank you for all those years. He's still a God in Youngstown, and would rather give them the 450 grand than somebody else.
Easy win? Yup. Right thing to do? You decide.
Hello idiots-
Here are some numbers that you're probably not interested in:
As of opening day, 2007, the NFL rosters showed 264 SEC players and 236 Big Ten players. Last year, the SEC had nine first round draft choices; and the Big Ten had 7. Wow, the chasm is staggering.
Since 1998, head to head (prior to this bowl season):
• Overall? The SEC has won 17 and the Big Ten has won…16
• When SEC was the home team? SEC - 4; Big Ten – 0
• When the Big Ten was the home team? Big Ten – 3; SEC – 2
• In bowl games? Big Ten – 13; SEC – 11
• When the Big Ten is the higher ranked team? 6-6
• When the SEC is the higher ranked team? Big Ten – 5; SEC - 4
Wow, you're right. I guess The Ohio State Buckeyes and the rest of the Big 10 should pack their bags, padlock their huge stadiums and give up football.
Oh, don't be so dramatic. You don't have to do anything that drastic.
All you have to do is stop accepting invites to the BCS title game. Trust me, we'll all be happier.
"Fine, if Kent State doesn't do it for you then just insert any one of these you choose:
Akron
Youngstown State
Northwestern
Minnesota"
by the way, Northwestern &
Minnesota are in the Big ten so we should'nt play our own confrence cause it's too easy?
Georgia fans dont even have the right to trash OSU leave that too the teams that we played in the title games. How many BCS championships games have you been too again?
stop riding the coat tails of FL and LSU.
The Union 1..The South 0
State of Ohio 1-0 when it truly counts.(Ohio had the most people per capita serve in the Civil War,thus the name Blue Jackets for the NHL Team)
That is awesome....
Chachi - The Civil War was not a football game. And if it had been, you'd have lost. Cheers. =)
I guess they fail to teach people in the SEC that in the War Between the States that the South lost..unless they still have free labor in SEC country??
Maybe if your sorry ass georgia team could beat UT you could have played in the NC game, instead you have to tear down LSU's opponent. UG sucks and always will can't wait to see you lose 2 more games in the SEC next year and complain when you don't deserve to play for the championship again!
Diddo!!
UG sucks there a non contender in the SEC and always will be. maybe you crybabies shoud go and form your own confrence, where you can play for the woulda, coulda, shoulda trophy!!!!
Anonymous 8:46 & 9:32:
Who is this UG you speak of?
Nice historical fact and necessary it was, chach. I've been crying over the loss in the "War between the States" entirely way too much that I have been unable to cope with life. Woe is this world. Oh well at least I get to see Ohio State get pummeled in back-to-back title games. I also enjoy ragging on many of my friends whom are Ohio State fans that live here...in the South.
I noticed that the most vitriolic posts from Ohio Sucks fans are posted by "anonymous." I guess they do not have the gonads to not hide behind the skirt strings of their mamas. Man-up boys. Stop hiding and take a public stand. Or are yer yella!
the sec is the best conference right now, but in 3 years everyone will be talking about how the sec is down and should quit playing football
Chachi....
You're bringing up the Civil War?!!?
Wow...you northerners are really desperate.
That's like modern day Italians sailing to North Africa and giving them hell about Carthage losing to the Romans.
Ancient history, you freaking moron.
But...there is good news for you, Chachi.
There is a group of people who are waiting to welcome you with open arms. Just get to Atlanta, hail a cab, and tell him to take you straight to North Avenue. Heaven awaits.
Ohio State has two straight losses to the Gamecocks, which is rather sad. It's easy to win in the Big Televen when you have Michigan State, Purdue, Indiana, Northwestern, and Minnesota to pad your winning percentage. Wisconsin and Penn State are average at best.
In the SEC, no game is ever a given except if you were playing an Ed Orgeron coached Ole Miss team, but they don't roll over and die like a Big 10 team.
Oh yeah, I forgot the most overrated coach in the country Kirk Ferentz and that awful Iowa program.
Strength of schedule
1 Texas (2005) 1924.3 2 Florida (2006) 1900.9 3 Auburn (2004) 1874.7 4 USC (2004) 1831.1 5 LSU (2003) 1809.0 6 Oklahoma (2004) 1754.0 7 Louisville (2006) 1746.2 8 USC (2005) 1745.1 9 USC (2003) 1733.0 10 Texas (2004) 1710.7 11 Boise State (2006) 1709.7 12 Penn State (2005) 1700.5 13 Miami (OHIO) (2003) 1699.0 14 Ohio State (2006) 1677.3 15 USC (2006) 1660.8 16 LSU (2007) 1647.5 17 Oklahoma (2003) 1643.0 18 Ohio State (2003) 1631.0 19 Georgia (2007) 1628.1 20 West Virginia (2005) 1625.2
Top 20 strength of schedule teams since 2003. USC does try and schedule strong opponents outside of the weak as* PAC-10 to help them out and usually get a couple of good PAC-10 games a year. California, ASU but this year was pretty weak. It seems like 80% of the PAC-10 is in a rebuilding program. I live in Ohio and this state has a high opinion of its football team. I can not wait for OSU to head to the Colisieum next year. I like to watch good games and the SEC does provide that every week, but I will still root for USC.
Maybe next year, LSU can play the bowl game in Baton Rouge. Give me a break. The last two bowl games are right down the road from them. Go play tOSU in Cincinatti /Indianapolis /Cleveland - the outcome would be different. Big win for Georgia over Hawaii this year - and of course at home in the Georgia Dome.
The Georgia game against Hawaii was in the Superdome in New Orleans.
You Buckeye fans sure do know your football.
Call me crazy, but when each school is given an EQUAL ALLOTMENT OF TICKETS for their bowl game, it probably doesn't matter where the game is. Unless the Suckeye fans are whining because they got to NOLA 4-5 days early and got used to having a run of the place until a day before the game when the LSU fans leisurely drove into town, drank them under the table, mocked the huskiness of their women, and then wiped their ass with the OSU football team
Being called a freakin' Moron from UGA fans....when was the last time UGA was relevant on a national scale in Football? Oh Yeah I remember when your coach was crying to the media that his 2 loss team deserves a shot at the BCS Title game without even winning his own conference. When people diss OSU they bring up ancient history too..like the fact that our coach from 30 years ago lost to SEC teams. I'll give you props for the '93 win against the genius John Cooper but don't be riding UF or LSU's coat tails.
I'd love to come down to the ATL..have they rebuilt it since we burned it to the ground? I mean clearly LA and FLA have been rebuilt and have solid football programs but not sure about Georgia..oh wait..even Georgia Tech has a title since the last time UGA was nationally relevant!!!
and one last thing..as long as Southerns continue to fly the Confederate Flag it is not ancient history. They call it Southern Pride..we see it as the Flag of the Losing Side. If the BCS continues to send OSU to the Title Game maybe you guys can leave the Union for good this time. We will make sure not to let you back in..don't let the door hit you on the ass on the way out.
Talk about riding coattails! UGA has no room to talk whatsoever. Beat Tennessee, who can't win a big game....ever, and you have a legitimate argument.
Re: our OOC schedule, I don't see any USC, Miami, Oklahoma, Texas on your schedule. Heck even when Washington was scheduled this year, they were coming off a Rose Bowl game. You can't blame us that the rest of the Big Ten is down. What are we supposed to do, just decied we aren't going to play any conference games? We didn't deserve to be in the nat'l title game this year, but no one else stepped up and grabbed the spot either, so we 'defaulted' in (not backed in). We weren't lobbying anyone (a la pipsqueak Meyer), there just wasn't anyone else deserving. USC-lost to Stanford, UGA-lost to UT and SCar & couldn't win their DIVISIONAL conference crown, OU (who may be the biggest BCS fraud of all)- lost to Colorado & TTech.
What do you want us to do, say we're sorry for playing in the nat'l title game against LOUSIANA St, in N'awlins and with about 5 ticky-tack personal foul calls that kept drives alive for them? Fine we're sorry for making it to the nat'l title game during our rebuilding year. We'll try and lose a couple of games next year to teams we aren't supposed to lose to, just so Georgia (the 3rd or 4th best team in their CONFERENCE) can play instead of us.
Last time UGA won a National Title they needed a U.S. President from Georgia to be in Office. Carter's one victory while in Office.
Still... the Ohio Sucks commenters are hiding behind "anonymous" or stupid user names. I guess these pussies cannot MAN-UP!
SEC talking about cupcakes. How funny.
SEC SOS is better because they play a bunch of non-conference cupcakes every single year. Also, they're afraid of playing outside their own stadiums where they are not as good. Please SEC fans, give me a few AWAY games from SEC teams against good opponents in the last few years (in which the won)?
Anybody?
LSU scheduled teams for 2008:
North Texas, Troy, TBD, Tulane. All at home. (8-4 home-away games)
So give me a break and don't come with your usual "We have a very tough conference schedule that's why we don't go and play against the best teams in the country."
Good teams can't do anything about their own conference strength; however, they can do something about their non-conference schedule. That's where you separate the really confident programs from the wannabes.
A:
"Methinks the lady doth protest too much" - William Shakespeare
tOSU fans posting on this board, let someone from University of Michigan explain what this means.
Okay Chachi, just because Joanie doesn't love you anymore and the state of tOhio's economy is faltering doesn't mean you have repectable grounds to talk about anything other than how much you suck as a person. Face it, you do if you have to bring up the civil war to make a point about anything.
P.S. sorry Scott I haven't the time to choose an identity, I'm in a rush.
What are the UGA fans going to do send their big brothers who have actually won a BCS title after me? Must suck to be a UGA fan when the Vols,Tigers and Gators all have a BCS Title Trophy in their display case. You guys sound like 5 year olds..my big brother is going to beat you up because we aren't capable of it. Win your own conference than start to talk shit. We got a BCS Title..how about YOU? Nope all you got is a lot of shit talking. We made 3 BCS Title Games and you can't take that away from us.
I can talk about other things besides the Civil war..like how it took till 1967 for the SEC to allow blacks to play football on their teams. Bill Willis..1941 1st black player at OSU, 1945 1st black player in the NFL. But I forget the SEC was a bastion of civil rights. Miss St. U Basketball coach defies order of the Governor in 1961 and plays against a racially intergrated team.
I guess if OSU are such losers we would fit right in to the South. I wonder if you treat the Atlanta Braves this way..One WS title in 95and 4 WS losses in the same decade. 1st team in 6 deades to lose 4 WS in one Decade.
Got to run..I found a new place to place bets on Dog Fighting since Vick got pinched.
you know sec stands for southerners eating cocks, right?
People mocking the South has always amused me. When is the last time you heard someone say, "Hell yes honey!! They're transferring me to Akron".
Oh yeah, it doesn't happen.
Population growth: GA - 26.4%; OH - 4.7%
Face it, people enjoy a place that has seasons, women who don't look like pale linebackers, and beauty.
Oh Yes I forgot Southerns love intelligent women as well. Have they helped Ms. South Carolina and her charity to get more globes to the people of America and Iraq so they can find themselves on a map?
You must be proud of all those Trophy Wives. Blonde hair with Brown roots really is a good look in the South.
7 Presidents from Ohio...One from Georgia..I guess when the Country is seeking change they really take Georgia politicians seriously. Heck of a job with that gas crisis and Iranian Hostage crisis there Jimmy.
So when UGA fans want to see a title won in the last 20 years do they drive to LSU,UF,UT and Georgia Tech to have a look at the Trophy?
1967 till the SEC allowed blacks to play football. Son you can go die in Vietnam but even think about suiting up for our Football teams!!
Dear Chachi,
Lets finish this by saying that tOSU is better than UGA at everything. The state of Ohio is the best. There is nothing better than the Buckeyes. You have the best presidents. You have the best women. You are smarter. You beat us in everything including war. You stand head and shoulders above all. You are the masters of the universe. OH HAIL, the buckeye state.
Let us lowly southerners join hands and lift high praises to the might which illuminates all. Let us gather our quivering manhood as the glorious potentate of Columbus, Ohio speaks and offers retribution to all of us.
Oh, masters of all, we beseech thee to show mercy upon us who are squashed by thy magnificence.
Chachi, do you feel better? Are more of a man now than you were a few minutes ago? Is it not amazing what massaging your ego will do? Seriously, is this what you want? Do you want the SEC to simply admit that you are better? Okay, you are better. But let me ask you in what way does our submission to your greatness have to do with your argument? Nothing. Please make a point and stick with it. Submit at least two supporting arguments and leave your ad hominem, question begging, and straw man attacks at home. In a phrase; Logic its fundamental.
God these northerners are pathetic. And they wonder why people mock them daily.....
Just read all the pro-Buckeye comments, and the last time I had this feeling was when I volunteered at a home for retards.
Ok, I've never actually volunteered anywhere, but this must be what it would feel like.
Rhymer,
I think Chachi's comments are pretty funny, logic notwithstanding. Of course, we're not dealing with deductive arguments anyway, so none of the conclusions necessarily have to follow from the premises. I'd actually suggest this whole thing is a string of non-sequitur shit-talking where nobody will change their mind. Use whatever stats you want and you can justify whatever you want to say.
With all that being said, I'm pretty sure this whole "Ohio State sucks" is just a little thing called hating.
But unfortunately, the Buckeyes aren't the problem. The SYSTEM is the problem, but of course nobody takes time to understand that the system produced the result of OSU going to the NC. I mean, after that last weekend of the regular season, didn't Georgia actually fall in the standings? The coaches, including SEC coaches, voted them LOWER. The media, including SEC media, voted them LOWER. The fact is the next team (who? VT?) would've been a choice everyone hated (especially since VT got crushed LSU earlier) and Oklahoma (who had been tagged with 2 losses, too) would've had Georgia fans going crazy, too.
Yeah, the Bucks are 0-9 in bowl games against the SEC. None of those games were played concurrently or even back-to-back, and teams that played in each of those games were different. Those 9 games are all singular, isolated events with no real connection. Say what you will about the record and how terrible the Buckeyes are, but OSU has enough historical and current prominence to laugh that off.
Besides, accusations without justifications don't count as refutations.
And Scott, here I am. I'm a Buckeye.
I'm loath to get drawn into this poop-flinging fight any more than I already have, but I'd just like to go on record as declaring that trying to win a football argument with "Oh, yeah, well how many presidents came from YOUR state?!?" is the gayest thing I've ever heard in my life. And I've been to many a Georgia Tech game, so I've heard some pretty gay shit.
Thank you Ben for your comments. If the coaches thought the Buckeyes sucked than why did they vote us #1 and give us a ticket to the title game...while lowering UGA in the polls?
if UGA had actually beaten OSU in anything the last 2 seasons I would pay them props....but instead UGA fans are riding the coat tails of the titles won not by UGA but their own hated rivals..UT,UF and LSU. You know your more highly successful older brothers who kick the shit out of you each year.
UF and LSU beat us..and they are SEC teams but neither of them had the UGA logo on their helmets..So UGA fans mock the Buckeyes but as the immortal Patrick Roy once said and I paraphrase..Can't Hear you With our BCS title ring in our ear.
'Nuff Said now go win a title UGA
oh and one last thing..Mock Northerns all day long? Funny so you mock those who have conquested your ass in the past..thus why you mock a better program then your own.
I know Georgia started as a Penial Colony so I quote from Goodfellas..Maybe they didn't tell you I was made while you where away...Now go get your Shine Box!!!
and win a BCS UGA..stop praising UT,LSU and UF's success and have some of your own!!
General Sherman was from my home town in Ohio. Maybe we should just burn their sorry state down again. Georgia is a second rate program and always will be!
poor chachi. Tries to insult us, but only proves us right with his poor grammar and misspellings. When will he ever learn?
Chachi, unless you are seriously older than your 12 year old handle and grammar skills, please refrain from the further use of the word WE when referring to the War Between the States. I'm fairly certain you were not there fighting.
We have tried in the past to schedule Big10 opponents. They would have none of it. Go figure.
Yes. We get it. You are great. Your conference is the best. The north is great. The weather is awesome. We in the south "just don't get it". The Fonz IS NOT cooler than you. You will impose your awesomeness on our boards "anytime, anywhere". We can run but we can't hide.
Did I forget any? Will this help you to go away now? You are starting to become a real boor. If you don't know what that means, look it up. I am sure someone from the north invented dictionaries. Because, like, the north is the bomb.
I only came to this board because some UGA fool wanted to think he was cool with his 0-9 against the SEC and I pointed out that Ohio is 1-0 when it counts. People in the North don't take leaving the Union lightly.
So go win a BCS title game and stop thinking UGA is so awesome because UT,UF and LSU have won BCS Titles.Go rest on your own laurels, which we are not sure of since you are neither a football powerhouse nor a basketball powerhouse. From this board I see UGA fans are just good at talking shit..BCS titleless shit talking.
Congrats on that awesome weather..it allows you to go visit UGA and see that they have no BCS titles.
and OSU has scheduled USC,Virginia Tech,Miami,Oklahoma in the next decade because we wanted to play Football Powerhouses and not flash in the pan UGA team that crumbles when they play superior SEC talent like LSU. Without a BCS title how long will UF and LSU actually want UGA in the SEC in the future?
I guess you can be our Wisconsin..a decent school with a decent football team.
as I said..go get your shine box!!!
"Maybe we should just burn their sorry state down again."
Dude, are you serious? Do you seriously think no one from Georgia has ever been to Ohio? For the uninitiated, I'll spell out the differences:
1. More Trees in Georgia
2. More Rust in Ohio
3. MUCH less hot women in Ohio
4. More snow in Ohio
Toss up: Number of rednecks is about the same in both states.
Do not try to refute this. You know it, I know it, the American people know it. Now I know why the Michigan grads I know laugh at you all year long. And don't come back with that "we own their asses" garbage. We'll just say the same about you until you beat someone from the south.
BTW - way to associate yourself with a human one step up from Hitler. He was a real role model that Sherman.
chachi (loser)
We own LSU. Last 2 meetings were both 40+ to Under 15 beatdowns. Try again.
Miami? VA Tech? Powers? Again, you show your ignorance. BTW - who beat Va Tech last year? Yeah, us. 0-2 there son.
USC I will give you. Impressive. Enjoy your beating next year.
If you really think you guys are that good, start a petition with your AD to play us. From the sound of it, should be an easy win for you guys. You should be begging for a win over an SEC team. Doubt you'll get much support on that one though. We all know how you guys wilt in the south. Hell, I'd petition Damon to give you a 2 for 1 just so I could laugh at you 3 times instead of 2.
And chachi, my shine box is attached to my right wrist. When you feel the need for a shine, let me know, and I'll send your pansy ass back to columbus with a fresh one.
I am sure as LSU shines their two BCS Trophies they think about how superior you guys are to them in football. I just find it funny when others think they are better than Southerns how the Southerns react. Not fun being thought of as inferior huh?
I think Va Tech has actually played for a Title the last 10 years and Miami has a BCS Title and 2 BCS Title games under their wings the last 7 years and i believe 3 other titles since you UGA won in 1980
What has UGA done on a national level of late?? UT,LSU and UF have a right to talk shit not UGA fans.
I was in NO and the LSU, who could gloat and brag, where actually very nice and enjoyed partying with us after the game. They did not talk shit and I still wonder why UGA fans think they can talk shit
As for Sherman being a rung above Hitler.Had Lee and his band of Rebels won the War, I am sure they would have burned the North to the ground given the chance. The South was a foreign entity attacking the U.S. What should Sherman have done? Shaken their hands and welcome them back to the Union with open arms? He certainly made his point,doubt the South leaves the Union again.
One reason we don't come down to play is the small stadiums the SEC plays in. We travel with 40-50K people when we play a big game like in 2002,2007,2008.
My shine box is right next to our BCS Title Trophy. Again, please explain to me just how great UGA football is..titleless since 1980...but better than a team with 3 BCS Title games in 6 years.
Sorry that is Southerner.....my Hot Blonde Trophy wife with fake boobs from Georgia doesn't know how to use spell check too well. But I forgive her since she has such a golden tan and will be dead in 20 years from skin cancer.
You are such a douche. Too stupid to realize you are being baiting, too big an idiot to quit posting. Typical yankee. Have fun shining "your" trophy, douche.
BTW - we have 2 crystal balls, one at your expense. You have a stolen gift. Yeah I said it. You know that interference penalty was BS. Hell, everyone in the country knows it. tosu's last REAL MNC was 1968. Pretty sure your weren't around for that one sparky. But have fun shining that crystal ball janitor boy. You won't see a newer one in your lifetime - unless you come south.
Bullgator they did not hand out crystal hardware in 1980.Back then it was a Mythical NC.
Let us rebel against the North. We are too stupid to lead ourselves, so let us hire a West Point Grad to lead us. We can't count past ten so we will need a Jew to be the Treasurer too.
I have re-watched the game and in the 4th quarter Chris Gamble did catch that ball inbounds. Besides a win is a win and the history books still say we are NC for the 2002 season.
Being baited? I love talking shit to UGA fans because they truly can't claim shit. We have gone to 3BCS Title games in 6 years...what have you done besides hire a crybaby coach?
Our honor defend WE will fight to the end for O-HI-O...and not surrender to a drunkard like Grant. We finish what we start.
See you in Miami!! Finally,that is a Proud Yankee..the kind that beat the Braves ass in '96 and '99!!!
Chachi,
2 Questions:
Where was that team from the Braves beat to win the '95 WS?
Do you know Commandant Wayne?
Ah, now we see who "chachi" really is -- a bandwagoneer who'll jump on any team that happens to be hot at any given moment. Yeah, I'll just bet you've been a Yankees fan for all your life, haven't you? What's next, an extended treatise on how the Patriots are soooo much better than any of those pansy-ass NFL teams
