Many UGa related comments including my own. Why were they so mean back then when we played every year? They used to basically own us

I think some folks out there ( Coot U ) are just like what you saw in UGA back in the 80's and 90's ...they get a solid team and win a few games they become beligerent meat heads . The "banging of your own drum" delirium.
Couple that with poorly educated , mentally aggressive drunken trailer trash and the fireworks are lit .
Coot U and Jawja have the same type of fan corps .

poorly educated, mentally aggressive and drunken trailer trash describes the average Capon fan quite well.

UGa fans have always been and continue to be some of the most vile and repugnant in college sports.
They do not discriminate. They hate all opposing fans with equal venom.

It sincerely amuses me how someone can save up 11 years for a first post like this.

Right ? I guess he didn't think to ask me if I had ever lived in a trailer .
I have , in fact .
The trailer doesn't make the white trash , it's just a phrasing people use sarge , to give a good visual.

Nothing wrong that and thank you for your service to this country, but i think they were talking about the fans that actually act like crap are rude and disrespectful.

During the first few years of our marriage, my wife and I lived in a trailer park. Quite nice people, always there when you needed a hand.

Do you have a bit of low self esteem? Don't be so sensitive.
Everyone here knows, just cause you live in a trailer doesn't mean you're trash.
Believe me.... I know people that love in million dollar homes. And they're trailer trash.....

We beat them in 77 I think for the first time in eons. Then again in 79 I think. Then in 86 - 87 we beat them 2 years in a row. We had always been their Furman. When we started beating them they went berserk. And now we've won 2 national championships since their last one.

65 yard game-winning field goals. Last second FGs. A game ending in a tie after seeing 2 FG attempts on the last 2 plays of the game. Vince intimidating the ref into putting the flag back in his pocket on the final play of the game.
They cost us an undefeated season and we cost them one, each of us ending long winning National Championship streaks. They won a NC, so did we. Almost ALWAYS top 10 teams, if not Top 5. People lining the backroads between the two towns after the game with taunting signs for the post-game traffic.
Oh, it was one crazy era. We'll never see anything like that again.

To my Son, if I ever have one:
Kid, I am writing this on September 3, 1984. I have just returned from Athens, where I spent Saturday watching the University of Georgia, your old dad’s alma matter, play football against Clemson.
While the events of the day were still fresh on my mind, I wanted to recount them so if you are ever born, you can read this and perhaps be able to share one of the great moments in your father’s life.
Saturday was a wonderful day on the Georgia campus.
We are talking blue, cloudless sky, a gentle breeze and a temperature suggesting summer’s end and autumn’s approach.
I said the blessing before we had lunch. I thanked the Lord for three things: fried chicken, potato salad and for the fact he had allowed me the privilege of being a Bulldog.
“And , Dear Lord,” I prayed, “bless all those not as fortunate as I.”
Imagine my son, 82,000 people, most whom were garbed in red, gathered together gazing down on a lush valley of hedge and grass where soon historic sporting combat would be launched.
Clemson was ranked number 2 in the nation, and Georgia, feared too young to compete with the veterans from beyond the river, could only dream, the smart money said, of emerging three hours hence victorious.
They had us 20-6 at the half, son. A man sitting in front of me said, “I just hope we don’t get embarrassed.”
My boy, I had never seen such a thing as came to pass in the second half. Todd Williams threw one long and high, and Herman Archie caught it in the end zone, and it was now 20-13.
Georgia got the ball again and scored again, and it was now 20-20, and my mouth was dry, and my hands were shaking, and this Clemson fan who had been running his mouth the whole ballgame suddenly shut his fat face.
Son, we got ahead 23-20, and the ground trembled and shook, and many were taken by fainting spells.
Clemson’s kicker, Donald Igwebuike, tied it 23-23 and this sacred place became the center of the universe.
Only seconds were left when Georgia’s kicker, Kevin Butler, stood poised in concentration. The ball rushed toward him, and it was placed upon the tee a heartbeat before his right foot launched it heavenward.
A lifetime later, the officials threw their arms aloft. From 60 yards away, Kevin Butler had been true, and Georgia led and would win 26-23.
I hugged perfect strangers and kissed a fat lady on the mouth. Grown men wept. Lightning flashed. Thunder rolled. Stars fell, and joy swept through, fetched by a hurricane of unleashed emotions.
When Georgia beat Alabama 18-17 in 1965, it was a staggering victory. When we came back against Georgia Tech and won 29-28 in1978, the Chapel bell rang all night. When we beat Florida 26-21 in the last seconds in 1980, we called it a miracle. And when we beat Notre Dame 17-10 in the Sugar Bowl that same year for the national championship, a woman pulled up her skirt and showed the world the Bulldog she had sewn on her underbritches.
But Saturday may have been even better than any of those.
Saturday in Athens was a religious experience.
I give this to you, son. Read it and re-read it, and keep it next to your heart. And when people want to know how you wound up with the name “Kevin” let them read it, and then they will know.

I loved Grizzard. Still have some of his books around here, somewhere. Even for a bulldog I liked him. He poked fun at us (actually everyone that wasn't ga.), but I can't really say he did it in a disrespectful manner.

about the UGA 30-yard-line after that FG? But the game clock counted down from 2 seconds AFTER he went out of bounds - ball game.
