Last week we asked, "Have you ever cried after a UGA win? Turns out that 63 percent of the 460 people who responded said "yes" in one form or another. It appears that my readers do have a softer side. Here are the responses (totals don't = 100% due to rounding):
- 37% - No Damn Way!
- 29% - Yes. But only a single tear.
- 23% - Yes. But not enough to make me gay. (NTTAWWT)
- 9% - Absolutely. We're talking open sobbing. Like an infant with a tooth infection. Or a pregnant woman.
The next poll will require two rounds of judging just to get the nominations sorted out. More on that later.

No UGA fan ever cries after a win over GTU. We're all too busy beating up the wives of spindly Tech nerds, stealing Tech children for sale into the slave trade, and generally intimidating mustard wearing pencil necks as if we were a horde of marauding Huns. Genghis Khan ain't got nothin' on ME, baby.
(actually, none of that is true, but GTU people sure believe it. Much like the existence of Bigfoot, which can only be confirmed by apocrphyal hearsay, every GTU fan worth his TI graphing calculator knows someone who's wife/child/elderly mother/etc was set upon at or after a UGA game by bands of drunken UGA louts and cursed/threatened/viciously taunted. Many of these stories involve a lonely, callow nerd (sort of an Arthurian legend)bravely standing against the hordes of indecency and staring them into submission. Almost all of these urban legend recountings involve a vow by the teller of tales that, should HE witness such tomfoolery in person at NEXT year's game, there will be dire consequences for the offending Bulldogs.
Of course, we all know Techsters are basically mostly good at beating up girls....as long as they're TECH girls (google Lisa Steffee and Kevin Salisbury). The chicks in the Maryland band kicked their frat boys' asses, so I doubt they're gonna be scrambling with UGA people.
what was the question again? :-)
(hey, it's almost June. I just needed to stretch a little. Consider this a sarcasm minicamp)
i've cried before after a dawg win.
but it's usually later on that night when i'm extra drunk. it's not even close to being a gay cry either.
THIS DECADE
- Florida 2007 (twice...once right after the game and again around 4 in the morning)
- LSU 2005 (around 2 a.m. when the bars were closing)
- TENNESSEE 2003 (it was a night game and i shed a proud tear midway through the fourth quarter when neyland stadium emptied out)
I never cry after a win or loss, but I did cry when I was almost forced to miss the '06 UT game because of some lame wedding. (It was a family wedding and it was a big deal to everyone but me. So because i'm a girl i'm supposed to give up one of the biggest home games of the year to go to some wedding. It didn't seem to matter that I told them that I would go to their next one with no problem.) I worked it out though. Left the tailgate on campus about 3:00, drove to the wedding that was about 2 hours away, walked in just before the bridal party and 20 minutes later the ceremony was over. After a short stay at the reception I was back in the car driving 2 hours to Athens and made it to the stadium for the last half. I had unwillingly sold my ticket earlier so I had to sneak in amongst the hoards of people that were leaving because it was such a bad game. Moral of the story: don't plan your stupid wedding on a game day, EVER.
I heard a joke (especially with Erin Andrews doing the spelling bee on ESPN; I don't care if she's a gator, she's, what's the word - HOT?):
A Techie's so dumb, he shows up for the spelling bee and thinks it's a pep rally!
I just made that up. But I'm not making up that stuff about Erin; she's hot.
I've never cried after a win. I've been too angry to cry after losses.
But, I do get misty-eyed every time that trumpet soloist in the upper deck starts playing the first notes of "Battle Hymn".
God bless the University of Georgia.
