While it’s been a delight beating Auburn so routinely for so long, it does seem like it’s become less of rivalry to our younger audience. If you ever wondered why, take a gander at this:
I’ve got a child named Georgia who’s never seen an Auburn Victory over Georgia. Maybe she was the chosen one (I think she is, and she does, too). I have a total of three girls, and between them, ages 8, 10, and 12, they’ve combined only seen Auburn beat Georgia once, and two of them watched what Georgia’s response was to an Auburn loss in the SECCG in 2017.
I also have a young staffer who was born in 2000, and has seen it happen so few times but is old enough and wise enough (and also a UGA grad) to realize that this record during the new millennium is exactly the way it needs to remain until 2100.
“We beat the dawg crap out of them” was said, and we’ve never looked back. Here’s hoping we keep it going another 74 years.
Go Dawgs!
The loathing began during the 1983-1990 stretch: 1-7.
And we know what happened after the win.
Bastards.
The 2010 game turned the loathing up about 10 notches.
Prior to the 2010 game I always thought it was a good rivalry game. After that game I hope the War Chickens never win another game against anyone! Nick Fairly should have been banned from ever playing again. And Penn Wagers should have been fired!
In 1985 those MFers dumped sugar on my head from the old bleachers by the bridge as I walked out. Ever since I have been full FTMFers. That feeling intensified when I moved to Newnan and amongst too many of them.
Kirby threw the first Auburn game in 2017 to get the team’s attention. It worked.
And had bama hurt their star RB in the Iron Bowl so we could win the seccg.
auburn gonna auburn
Let me guess: those donkies are gonna raise 15 banners after seeing that Tweet.
