Well, I’ve always been a diehard GA fan, so I’ve enjoyed the last few years. No arrogance intended, but it has been a long time coming. I can remember lean years and a few heartbreaks. That being said………..
If I were a TN fan like you good folks, there is no way in hell I’d be pulling for GA. Sure, there have been times that I remember pulling for the SEC when for example USC or tOSU was the talk of the nation, but it just makes no sense for TN fans to pull for GA today. Your competing with us in some of the best recruiting grounds in the country, and Kirby and Co are doing very well recruiting. If I were a TN fan, seeing GA knocked down a peg or two would absolutely trump any sense of southern pride.
Let’s be honest, we are bitter rivals. If we are up you like almost nothing better than seeing us suffer. Same the other way. When TN was ranked #1 this season, there was almost nothing more that I wanted than to win that game. It makes for great football. And hopefully a continued great rivalry.
