I won't lie to you, that would be tempting. Three NCs are a lot, especially when the last one was so long ago. That doesn't seem to be enough for Clemson fans who seem quite desperate to beat UGA, so I'll assume it wouldn't be enough for UGA. So tell your friend we'll hold off on the natty and for the moment stick with the complete domination of Clemson on the field.
Thanks for asking, though.

Clemson hasn’t been desperate for anything in a long time, except for some additional trophy case space.
You’re right. You keep yours and we’ll keep ours.
Zip that up, your BS is showing… GO TIGERS

I won’t go into my preference of the Natty’s vs series. However, I went and looked at the series results and was surprised how we dominated the first 10, going 7-3. UGa scored 65 total points across those 10 games with 5 shutouts. Since, it has been pretty bleak, 11-39-2, ooofffff.
Objectively, UGa should be the better program. The state has more talent, more people, and the program has much more conference and booster money. It really is a testament to Dabo that we have been the better program in the CFP era.

UGA dominates the series 42-18-4, the 42 win total also being the # of the 64 games that were played in the state of Georgia. UGA was like a lot of schools that didn't like to travel to "little ol Clemson" since it was in the middle of nowhere with only 2 lane Hwy 93 to get there (this was GaTech's issue also). Coach Howard pushed to get Hwy 123 built in the 60s and previously reluctant teams were more open to home and home series.
Not saying the series record would have been different and we've dominated SC regardless, but who knows.

Oops, not finished. Post it notes invented. Virtually all the current Ga players fathers were just being born. Gas price was 1.19 Movies cost 2.50
Ahhh the good old days. UGA remembers them well.

You forgot one. Ga Tech still had a Natty to win in 1990.

They would trade all 3 of their remaining teeth for three nattys!

This has to be a lie. What does a series lead mean. National Titles are the only thing people care about. Example we were 0-59 at UNC. We won. It was great. I'd go 0-100 if we got one title.

National Titles are the only thing people care about.
I'm not so sure. I mean, yeah I'd like to have won a NC, but it's certainly not "the only thing people care about". I care about my wallet and since about 1984 I've gone anywhere from moderate to heavy on every game we've played y'all except 1990 and 2002. Yeah, I got burned in '86 & '13, but cashed in on all the others. I'm sure I'm not the only one who cares about that (including, I'd guess, some Clemson big spenders). Somebody brought up georgia freaking tech. Are you kidding me? Most fans of outside programs don't even know they shared a NC that year. They stunk it up two years before that and stunk it up two years afterwards. Their fan base is one of the most miserable and unenthusiastic in all of football. There is something to be said for winning over the long haul, and while not having that magical season where everything - including a healthy dose of luck (which Clemson has certainly had at times) - falls into place, Georgia has done just that.

Valid points. Our titles has paid off for me pretty well. Some would call that a win win.
