GWP raises an important philosophical discussion in my mind.

Do we have more joy hating the coots than we would have if we didn't have them to hate? And would we know we are missing someone to hate if they didn't exist?

If I'm being honest, I truly hated them during the 5-year

win streak. But the last couple years, it's more hilarity than hate. We came out of that losing streak as national champions and they came out of their winning streak as the joke of college football.

Everyone needs a rival to hate. We're particularly blessed in that regard, as ours are unusually annoying, stupid, and generally all-around cellar dwellers.
So yes, I enjoy it very much.

Sometimes I have to remind myself that they still do exist.

I hate to use the word HATE...

However, I very highly despise and dislike them with every breath and ounce of my being. Sometimes, in my softer moments, I feel pity for the poor fools. They don't know any better, but, then I think they're the #### chickens! There, is that the PC way of saying that I HATE them?

ask yourself....

1. did the joy of 56-7 ever even enter your mind during the Ohio State blowout?
2. did a sad face of Muschamp during Dabo's late timeouts ever flash across your mind during the Natty?
3. does the sad retort of "Never Again" ever wake you up at night?
4. does the ghost of Connor Shaw-past ever "run across your grave", causing chills up your spine when thinking abut playing in Willy B next year?
5. do you ever sit and really worry about who the recruit is going to pick when they announce it's an "in state battle"?
6. when speaking of Defensive Ends, do you ever first flashback to a certain Michigan RB helmet flying before you instead think of Vic Beasley, Shaq Lawson, Andre Branch, Christian Wilkins, or Clelin Ferrell?
7. have you ever caught your self thinking about what it would be like to "run down the hill" on Gervais Street before a football game in Columbia?
8. when asked about "touching the Rock" does an image of crack at Five Points come to mind?
if all your answers were "no" - and I am assuming that they were
then you've simply proven to yourself that if USuCk were to flash into non-existence tomorrow,
you'd never even feel the blip in your day.
the Coots are indeed meaningless....

I'm amazed that so many people dwell on that team. Rivals or not....they're not getting rent-free space in my head.
They don't matter.
