Make sure Munson hasn't copyrighted the words Hobnailed Boot!

Great Idea. Glad to see it was just on the back burner.

Maybe we should circulate a petition among the alumni and present it to the university presidents or the governors.

do we really need another tradition? i'm fine w/ the third saturday and the fact that people still call the UK game a rivalry.

The UGA people would be all over it. Believe me, I still hear about the hobnailed boot all the freaking time down here. ALL the time.

I'm with Travis. Burn that memory from my brain.

It's more about the trophy that would be made than anything. I've always enjoyed that aspect of certain rivalries. It may sound silly, but it would generate some interest because NOBODY has done this recently.

The winner of the Arkansas LSU game wins the "BOOT". I believe and I think it is a trophy that hooks the 2 states together and makes a boot shape.

I do actually like all the various trophies that rivalries use, and I miss the Beer Barrel. I just have a visceral reaction to that phrase. I was disgusted for three days after that game.

But hey, I'd go along with it -- as long as we won it four out of every five years, of course.

Oh, of course. I even said that in my message.

I don't want to see this come to fruition! Why in the world would we want a rivalry game with adjacent state to be named after something that was started by their radio guy in reference to us getting our butts kicked?! Think of a different tagline! I don't ever want to even hear the phrase again, much less have a mythical trophy of it! ... but that's just me.

All right, all right, all right. I just think you might underestimate how much it sucked to live in the state of Georgia for the several weeks after that game.

But if you really want to make this happen, based on what I've read about rivalry trophies, here's how you go about it. First you get the Georgia Bulldog Glee Club (or Spirit Club, or Pep Club, or whatever) to make a big giant hobnailed boot and parade it around before the UT game for a few years. Then you get our own Glee Club to kidnap it right before the game one year. It vanishes for a few years before the Georgia Glee Club steals it back, and then our guys steal it back, with ever-elevating practical jokes and hijinks surrounding the whole thing. Finally, the university presidents step in to put a stop to it before somebody gets hurt, and we end up with a bunch of rules about where it sits on the sideline during games, whether there might be something like a ceremonial ass-kicking of the losing team's captains afterwards, etc. THEN you've got your tradition-laden obscure rivalry trophy!

Though I was at UT at the time, Im from Atlanta and I dont underestimate it at all. I know how obnoxious uga fans are...and when they have something positive to talk about, they go completely overboard.
