Serious football question, how many
Apr 13, 2020, 1:08 PM
|
|
pandemics/epidemics has the world experienced since the last time UGA won a football national championship? Off the top of my head I can think of COVID-19 (obviously), SARS, MERS, H1N1, polio and the Spanish Flu of 1918. How many others am I missing?
TIA

Georgia won the championship in 42 and 80. We only have 1 more than they do.

You left out the herpes outbreak at the upper frat quad in the fall of 80. AIDS, flesh eating bacteria.
That's about it.
