But with KY fans, you can just look at them and smile because at some level even they know it’s nonsense. Bama fans seem one dimensional - “we are good at football nothing else matters”. With UGA fans they sincerely believe that they are better human beings because they are Dawg fans. Just my thoughts from an admittedly limited sample size.I think 2nd place for arrogance would go to KY fans. They are beyond ridiculous. Bama fans are spoiled brats but atleast they have a legitimate reason to brag.
What a beautifully accurate summary. Can I add that Kentucky has an intense infatuation with our fan base. Sometimes it feels like they’re trying to convince themselves that we care more than we do about Kentucky. Like they’re our arch rivals that have descended upon earth for the sole reason to successfully derail our football hopes and dreams. Maybe that Kentucky forum thread is just a little fresh on my brain.I've always experienced the fan bases this way:
-- Bama fans are stupid and loud. They talk an awful lot, and it hurts your head because most of it simply doesn't make any sense. In the world of nut jobs, they're the ones who are pretty sure they were anal probed by aliens once. It goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway: they tend to have small, beady eyes from generations of intra-family breeding.
-- Florida fans are sarcastic and cynical. They wear mullets and jorts, drink PBR in cans, think alligator-tooth necklaces are the height of fashion, and believe they're smarter than everyone around them. Dewey Crowe from Justified? That's them. They can fake you into believing they're cool for about 30 minutes, then it all starts to unravel. Badly.
-- Georgia fans are passive-aggressive. They never look you in the eye, so you underestimate just how negative their every thought is. They hate themselves, and so they hate everyone else, too. They are, honest to God, smarter than average ... but emotionally, they're stunted worse than that Lannister dude in Game of Thrones.
-- Kentucky fans used to be the friendliest of the SEC fan bases (in football...basketball is a whole nother matter). But in the last couple of years, they have turned into Georgia acolytes. Passive-aggressive and everything, just like Georgia trainees.
-- Vandy fans have sticks up their bums. They know exactly where they stand in sports, so fall back on academics. And are happy to tell you so. If a geek met a nerd, had a test tube baby, then put it up for adoption with the robot from Lost in Space, 20 years later it would be a Vandy fan. One of three, in fact.
-- LSU fans are lunatics dressed up in purple shirts and a big smile. They tend to carry voodoo dolls in a pocket "just in case." They believe in magic, which they call gris-gris. They do horrific things to chickens before football games, "for the luck." There's always a pot of stew on the fire in their homes, and you should never ask what the meat is.
So...UGa fans more cocky than most? I'd say more snide and casually arrogant. More dissembling.
Go Vols!
For at least 20 years I have always said UGA fans are OSUjr in terms of cockiness! They are ridiculous. Historically, other than Herschel, not much there to be cocky about. Kirby Dumb will go down as Fulmer Jr. is my prediction!Georiga fans are worse than any fanbase in the entire Country.I believe Ohio St fans are bad also!!They always think they are great until they play a upper class SEC team!!
That'll probably not happen again. That was a historical anomaly, just like our recent tailspin has been. We played them pretty even up until 1992. When divisional play began they had a one game lead in the all-time series. We won every game from 1992-1999, which so happened to be our best post-Neyland era and their worst since the 1950's. From 2000 to 2009 we were 4-6 against them and most of the games were competitive. However since 2010, one of our worst periods and their best (another historical anomaly), we are 2-10 against them. The natural state of the rivalry is fairly even.I long for the days we kick uga butt again with regularity. My neighbor a uga grad always talking like how good we are gonna be a tough game blah blah . I’m ready to kick uga’s behind again with regularity as we use to do.
I don’t. I look at it like I did Bama. After either of those teams lose in a season, if they do at all, you don’t see them lose again. They usually start firing on all cylinders after a lose. Also if Florida were to beat them, and then IF the Vols beat them, it’ll give everyone a reason to say Georgia was over hyped etc etc, and they got beat by Florida also.I hope Florida WTFA next weekend. It isn't what is supposed to happen, but it would be hilarious if it did happen.
I track the puppies arrogance to a deserved pride in Herschel Walker. But the tool that nurtured it was that insufferable tool Larry Munson [RIP].Georiga fans are worse than any fanbase in the entire Country.I believe Ohio St fans are bad also!!They always think they are great until they play a upper class SEC team!!
Yeah, we've played Bama 105 times to their 72. We have a 40.5% winning percentage against Bama, they have a 38.5% winning percentage against Bama. They have a good history.Yes they are comparable in total statistics however Georgia and Tennessee didn’t play every year and Georgia doesn’t play Alabama every year!
There's a bit more to them than that, they have the 4th most wins in college football since the SEC was founded in 1933.
So by percentage we’ve played Alabama 45.8% more than they have!Yeah, we've played Bama 105 times to their 72. We have a 40.5% winning percentage against Bama, they have a 38.5% winning percentage against Bama. They have a good history.
