I'm rooting for Georgia!

[carolinaviking]

I may be the odd man out around here, but I'm pullinh for the Dawgs! I'm hoping UGA and UM meet in the championship game and Georgia wins a tight one. I like close, exciting games, especially between blue-blood programs. And I root for UT first, then the SEC East second, then the SEC third. I don't want anyone claiming that Tennessee is in a weak conference or that they play a soft schedule. I like it when Tennessee beats strong teams like Florida or LSU. It means nothing to me when UT beats Akron or Wyoming. It also looks good when teams we play win out. If Georgia loses to OSU (God forbid) or UM, then the logical claim will be that OSU or UM could beat Tennessee. Nope, sorry. If Tennessee is going to lose to UGA in the regular season and get knocked out of championship contention, then I want UGA to win it all so that our loss to them doesn't look as bad.

It makes no sense to me when people root against other SEC teams when they're playing non-conference foes, especially in bowl games. I understand the recruiting edge we get when we win and other SEC teams lose, but I don't think that rationale holds much water; there are plenty of great players to go around. I also understand rooting for higher-ranked teams to lose so that we might get a bump up in the standings. But that probably won't happen with any of the top-4 teams, and nobody remembers the rankings anyway. They only remember the bowl wins and championships.

So I'll be pulling for Georgia this weekend. Go SEC!

I live in GA and know their fans very well. None worse. Not only no but HELL NO! I'll never, ever pull for UGA. I'd pull for bama, OSU and ND before the mangy mutts.

Georgia fans have become insufferable.
I hope they get blown out.

I'm usually an SEC Homer when it comes to bowl season. We are the best conference in college football. Let's prove it. And also.. Ohio St sucks.

 

[VOLtaism]

UT's main recruiting opposition is UGA and Bama. This is where games are won before they are ever player. I don't want Huepel to compete in the living room with a team with 2 NCS.

 

[Zues1]

I hope Georgia, Bama and Michigan lose.

 

[VolPack22]

Sorry, you might be on an island for this one. I will never root for another SEC team, let alone one of our rivals, to win a national championship in anything. If you aren’t Tennessee then I wish you nothing but Ls

 

[NorCalVol67]

I will also be pulling for GA…

To lose.

 

[led0321]

I would pick TCU to win it all first, then Michigan, then OSU, then Georgia.

No, and hell no. How does uga winning benefit the Vols? I hope uga loses by fiddy.....
They suck and their fans suck.

 

[perico]

No because UGA, like Clemson, directly impacts us as much as any team when they win.

I don’t think too fondly of Kiffin’s year, but I’ll always appreciate his take that UGA should always be an inferior program to us. Their rise directly correlates with our ineptitude for so many years.

 

[Zues1]

How does gawga winning back to back help Tennessee?
It doesn't, screw them puppies

 

[CSVol]

Gross

 

[VolArmy74]

Things we know. Georgia and Alabama being good means nothing good for Tennessee. I wish they'd go 0-12 every year.

Joe does have more Dawgs gear in his home than anyone here.

You’re not a vol fan then. Our #1 enemy, and your hoping for more success for them.
We have went hd to hd with them for top recruits the last few years and they have landed most of the top ones. Why?
Easy, want to win and play for championships?

 

[titansvolsfaninga]

I don't understand why our "fans" make post rooting for our main rivals to win championships as if that helps the Vols. I doubt UGA or Bama fans were sitting around rooting for the Vols to win out of some SEC loyalty. That's like rooting for your wife to cheat with your brother because it's family.

 

[TheFlash1971]

I only have one thing to say about the other SEC schools , trash.
I hope TCU wins the whole damn thing.

That’s not cheating in Bama.

 

[peaygolf]

It never ceases to amaze me that anyone would ever root for a rival.

To each their own. I guess.

 

[CountryBoyBob454]

I only pull for only one SEC team

 

[Orangeslice13]

There was a time when Joedawg33 had a Georgia avatar for a month.

 

[VolRage]

While I normally pull for the SEC in non-conference games during the season and bowl games in the post season, there is no way in hades I’m pulling for GA. I don’t care how they lose but they need to lose. Their fans are beyond repulsive enough but if they win another NC……..

 

[first time caller]

Let people talk about how weak the SEC is...they do anyway. Vols or nobody.
