OK Patrick…you really are an FSU grad if you believe UF outranks UGA in “any and all academic and athletic categories.”

I can begin listing academic programs in Athens that are better than UF if you want, but the list would go on quite a ways probably to your surprise. For starters, the programs UF has that UGA doesn’t are a medical school and an engineering school.

(And since you’re crossing lines, I will as well…OUR state engineering, architecture, and technology school on North Ave. absolutely blows UF’s programs out of the swamp water)

Our Law school is better, our Business school is better, our college of Education is better, our departments of English, History, Computer Science, as well as the schools of Art, Ecology (the only school in the country) bio-sciences, outweigh those in Gainesville in most every category.

We have more Rhodes scholars(19), more Goldwater scholars(30 in the last 11 years)…and have been given numerous research grants—one of the top 10 schools in the US for it’s devotion to new technology—the largest endowment for a University without a medical/engineering school. Should I go on?

And athletics? While not denying the Gators’ wins the past 2 years on the hardwood and gridiron, UGA has a very healthy dose of national championships to boast in its other sports, lesser in media attention or not…UGA finished higher than UF in all but about 5 sports this year. Including the national championships in Gymnastics and M Tennis, runner-up in Golf and being one of the only teams in the NCAA to defeat UF in W Tennis more than once.

Not too shabby, and nothing like what you posted is it?

Maybe you REALLY meant to say FSU instead of UGA…because then everything you said would be…true.

This is a wonderful idea. Gamecocks get on board also as we would love to have a USC tag. Good going to Auburn for being progressive and making it happen. Atlanta is not entirely a Ga. native or UGA fan city. Most of us could care less about UGA. I think other college alumni should be able to purchase a tag that shows their pride. This would be additional revenue for the state and would make a lot of fans happy! When I go to SC, I see the really nice USC tags and want one so bad. I have to remember that I live in Ga and hope one day this is available. Let’s make it happen not only for USC, but other SEC and ACC schools as well. Good luck Gators with the car tag effort!

Wait just a minute! You didn’t see UGA fans parading for a Georgia tag in Florida when we whooped their tales for 40 years. Who got their National Titles first? Who still leads the series and will for at least another decade? That’s right UGA. I live in Florida, my email is nsbdawg@msn.com, the NSB standing for New Smyrna Beach… yes UGA fans are everywhere too! That’s why we are on the top spot in Forbes wealthiest athletic program year after year and a quote from Forbes says UGA isn’t likely to relinquish the spot (for UF grads, relinquish means let go of). Listen Gators… I pulled for you and I truly tip my hat for the accomplishments of your school in all seriousness. But keep your tags in Florida, and when we win ours next year we will do the same!

What is Auburn Football? It is the 1/2 national championship in 113 years of playing football

It is sharing a mascot with numerous other college, junior college, high school, junior high and peewee football teams

It is the smile on Ben Leard’s face after throwing an interception that lost the 1998 Virginia game

It is the feeling of anticipation during the walk down Wire Road from your trailer to “The Jungle”

It is having a cute little nickname like “The Jungle” for Jordan-Hare

It is putting up a banner for losing the tiebreaker for the Western Division title

It is throwing a parade for finishing second

Again, it is throwing a parade for finishing second

It’s having singer Jimmy Buffett , briefly, attend your school — but he think so little of it, his only recording of college life is “Livingston Saturday Night.”

It’s about seeing your rival’s prominent place in America culture represented in movies (Forrest Gump, The Junction Boys, Sweet Home Alabama, Bear) songs and fiction — and knowing that no one has ever featured Auburn in a major motion picture or hit record — and never will.

It’s knowing that your program rode to any sort of national recognition on Alabama’s coat tails — and knowing that if it wasn’t for ‘Bama the rest of the country would care less about Auburn than they already do.

It’s about drive-by shootings at your new running back.

It’s scheduling Ball State and the Citadel and then wondering why no one else in the country thinks you should be considered a co-national champion.

It’s about corrupt directors mismanaging your school and almost losing your academic accreditation.

It’s about allowing rich, fat boosters on the sidelines and their demanding your head coach call the plays they want during ballgames.

It’s about seeing Alabama all over the College Football Hall of Fame in South Bend — and seeing Auburn barely mentioned in passing.

It’s about sneeringly calling The University of Alabama “UAT,” all the while praying nobody remembers your school’s original name was “Alabama Polytechnic Institute.”

It’s knowing that your arch-rival is one of the Top Five Top College Programs in the entire history of the game — and knowing you’ll never come close to matching that grandeur.

It’s knowing your best bet for a national championship team could only beat injury- and NCAA-beleaguered Alabama by 8 points in the 2004 Iron Bowl (and be losing to them at half-time).

It is and always will be about “Keep it down home, cuz”

It is having only 1 more SEC champ. than GA Tech….and they’ve been out of the conference for over 40 years!

It is about having a cute slogan like “AttitUde” or “AUdacity” in order to fire up your fans

It is the 1/2 national championship in 113 years of playing football

It is the hope that one day; Auburn will win a national title without sharing it or being on probation.

It is knowing that if the Tigers finish second, it will be OK because they will throw a parade anyway

It is living up to every stereotype about Auburn by letting the players ride on hay bails during that “victory” parade

It is accepting the National Title from the only person who will give it to Auburn, a 16 year old kid with an AOL account

It is the 1/2 national championship in 113 years of playing football

It is Terry Bowden

It is Eric Ramsey

It is having a head coach who used to cook catfish for a living

It is Napoleon Syndrome

It is Little Brother Syndrome

It is the Red Headed Step Child Syndrome

It is believing 2 Heisman Trophies = 2 National Championships

It is knowing that only one other school in the NCAA has been put on probation more times

It is using Toilet Paper to celebrate a victory and wondering why the world treats Auburn like No. 2

It is canceling the Florida State game a month before the season because you don’t want Bobby Bowden to punish you on national TV for running his son off.

It is the 1/2 national championship in 113 years of playing football

It is calling the 1989 Alabama game “The Mountain Top,” instead of using that title for a championship game

It is the 1/2 national championship in 113 years of playing football

It is yelling “Punt Bama, Punt” 30 years after that chant outlived its cleverness

It is not taking the “Punt Bama, Punt” bumper sticker off your truck 30 years after that sticker outlived its cleverness

It is having a runningback who couldn’t pass a third grade English test

It is constantly correcting people that Auburn is in Alabama, not Georgia

It is drawing national attention as a barn burns down next to the stadium during the LSU game

It is having a bovine research center less than a mile away from the football stadium

It is having a trailer park less than a mile away from the football stadium

It is the look on Terry Bowden’s face as he’s about to pass out at the Flora-Bama

It is the plane ride to Louisville

It is having the same amount of SEC championships as Georgia Tech, who left the SEC 40 years ago

It is the 1/2 national championship in 113 years of playing football

It is the probations

It is the trailers

It is the cows…..

IT IS AUBURN FOOTBALL!!!

Hey Mutts, if you want a UGA tag in FL, have your friends down there lobby for one. We’re working within the system here. Also, in all seriousness, this is a good way to generate much needed revenue.

Second, I truly can’t believe that some of you think that UGA outstrips and outranks UF. As a Gator alum, I’ll be the first to say that UGA is a fine institution.

However, almost all college rankings place UF above UGA. Every school is going to have certain pockets or disciplines in which they excel (e.g., GSU’s well-respected Executive MBA program) so we can play the pick and choose programs game all day long. But when you compare the schools as a whole, UF always comes out on top, academically as well as athletically (SEC Cup? Sears Cup?)

As far as academics, UF=#47, UGA=#60. [According to US News and World Report] (http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/usnews/edu/college/rankings/brief/t1natudoc_brief.php)

Washington Monthly UF=#37, UGA=#126

Yes, you have more Rhodes Scholars, but UF has more Merit Scholars. Do some research on your own and you’ll see that the admission requirements and averages of incoming UF freshmen far outstrip UGA’s.

So Corey, think, research, and read before you talk.

UF is the state flagship school, they have Arts/Sciences programs that UGA has as well as the Technology programs like GA Tech.

If you add UGA and GA Tech’s programs and student bodies together, you get about the makeup of the programs and students at UF.

And GA state schools rankings vs. Fla state schools rankings would be about 10-12 points higher. Do the math if you can. You’ll see i’m right.

Hey Ben: I broke down program rankings in my post and explained why.

The fact that you brought up the Washington Monthly rankings means you’re joking right? Since that whole article was a joke as well? You know…ranking schools on how they market themselves to low-income families, how they raise money, how many congressmen they have produced? Maybe that’s why they list Princeton and Emory way down the list also.

It’s not a list your school should be proud to be on and definitely not one that schools will promote. (Check UF’s website to see if they list it..since it was roundly poo-pooed by most every educational association in the U.S.)

You didn’t really just lambast someone for not doing research and then just spout off numbers you found on a google search before researching them yourself did you?

Did you really? Look deeper into those rankings and you’ll get a better idea of which school outranks which in what. UF’s engineering and medical schools push their rankings higher…only because of the national dollars and researchers they attract. UGA doesn’t have those programs, so you can’t compare them. If you do, you’re using shoddy statistics.

It’s apples to oranges. The only way you could get a good comparison is to add GA Tech to UGA. Which we won’t do, since they are two separate schools here in our state. (But as I already stated…much better than the Fla schools).

Remove them, and the program rankings will show you where the “average” student…you know…the ones you say have a harder time getting into UF…falls. (Also incorrect…it’s just as hard to get into UGA.)

UGA holds its own in merit scholars…usually getting more than Emory or UVA…even if UF may have a few more in a given year. UF actively recruits minority national merit scholars. They’re very famous for that, and other schools do not. The bulk come from that recruitment, which is very commendable. But would you rather be a merit scholar or a Rhodes scholar?

I’m not going into the athletic thing again as you can scroll up to read it. But, finished ahead of UF last year in the All-SEC thingy, blah blah…this year, we didn’t…but we beat UF in most sports not named football or basketball. Soundly.

I forgot to even mention the difference in Athens and Gainesville, which puts the argument over the top so far we don’t have space on this blog.

Just so you know…I’ve taught at both schools, so I’m not a stranger to the way each one works or the type of student they attract.

And…OK…not to embarrass you…but you can’t “talk” on a blog. So I did my research before “posting.” Looks like you didn’t.

Again Ben… If you’re going to show the difference in two schools, you should know how to compare them. If you disagree, then prove what I’ve written to be incorrect. I’m breaking down rankings and showing you how they come to be.

I originally responded to an FSU grad’s post. If you had been paying attention, you’d see that what I wrote originally paralleled that post. (ie: the UGA/GT/FSU/UF comparisons when the topic they brought up was “state schools.”)

If you can’t follow along and use basic comprehension skills, then maybe the gist of this column is correct.

All-Sports Trophy: UF won. Sears Cup: UF placed higher. That’s easy to find. But I challenge you to break down placement in each individual sport for the past few years. That will give you program strength.

It’s easy to blanket and say “We’re the best.” But if you look harder, you find out that you’re really not as good as you think you are.

Don’t challenge someone to do research when you can’t do it yourself.

And the fact that you just called someone a “maroon” speaks volumes.

For all of you Dogs fans(yes, that’s the real way you spell it), I hate to be the bearer of bad news. Just because we live in Georgia, doesn’t mean we have to support one of the football programs in the state. I live near the Georgia-Florida border and have a closer tie with Florida football than Georgia. That’s how it is with many people here. We have a lot of Florida grads around here too. Us Florida fans in Georgia would love to show their support for their team, and we should be able to. GO GATORS

The truth is, Flaw-uh-duh has a large ammount of bandwagon fans in metro Atl. After the last couple of years of championships, all of the sudden you see gator stickers everywhere. Where were all you “gator fans” prior to the last two seasons? The fact is There aren’t that many die hard Gator fans around. So only a few will spend the money for the tag (or be intelligent enough to figure out how to get one). I have only seen a couple of the Auburn tags. As far as I am concerned they can have the tag it makes it easier to harass them and it puts money into our economy. GO DAWGS

As long as this generates some $$$ for the state of GA, we must not make a deal out of this issue. Yes, it is unappetizing to see a Gator tag on a GA plate, but this is one of those instances wherein we must allow our heads to prevail over our hearts. How about steeply pricing these tags ($500 or $1000 sounds good, for starters)? This will ensure only die-hard Gator fans will fork out the money plus the state of GA will earn some sweet change.

It is currently possible to get a Georgia tag with the logo for an out of state school. Auburn is the only one I have seen. That tag unlike the UGA and Tech tags does not spell out the school name at the bottom. The same option is available to Florida if they get the required number of tag orders. If Florida alumni get a special GA tag it should be the same format as is offered to other out of state schools. It is interesting that The State of Florida which has a gazillion tag options, does not offer anything to recognize out of state schools.

Therefore, YOU’RE the one who changed the subject. Now, do I agree with Patrick the Nole? As I’ve stated earlier, no, because all schools have certain programs at which they excel. However, what I’m doing now is attacking your debating skills.

More money for the state equals a better Georgia and that my SEC fans equals a better country which is what being a National Champion is truly about.

“If it will eventually eliminate the stupid Ad valorem tax-then go for it. How can you add Value to a depreciating asset? This state just squeezes every last dime out of its citizens and then blows it on pork projects. We need to elect REAL people and not politicians or lawyers.”

The ad valorem tax is a county tax and has nothing to due with your tag or what type tag you have on your vehicle. The money is used directly in the county in which you pay the tax and the State only gets about a quarter for every $100 collected. And how do you value a depreciating asset? You depreciate it stupid just like you do when you trade the vehicle in or sell it. Just like it is done when you pay your tax, the value is lower this year than it was last if the value of the vehicle depreciated, thus the tax is lower. Not saying much about those “War Eagles” are we? By the way, Alabama, South Carolina, and North Carolina have a similiar value tax and Tennessee is seriously considering one to help with it’s financial problems.

But let’s stick to the tag issue. I have already seen Gator tags is GA, but since they were personalized plates their is a limit to the combinations which make the plates unique. Of course I like the “G8R H8R” plate.

I don’t really mind the state of GA wh@ring itself out to fans and alumni of out of state schools. After all, other states like TN and VA already do. They’re just putting more money into the state’s pockets.

But I would like to see one stipulation in place. There should be a reciprocal law with the state that the university resides in. For instance, since Auburn and FSU have tags, the states of AL and FL should allow UGA, GT, etc. fans and alumni in those states to purchase plates honoring their school.

Otherwise, all we’ve done is prostitute ourselves out for money. And if Eric Johnson doesn’t like it, then he should’ve put a stop to it when FSU got this started.

Let them have their plates. Georgia welcomes all the miscreants who cannot stand the miserable states their schools are rooted to.(i.e. Auburn, Florida, Tennessee, Clemson, etc.) They love our economy, love the equity their Atlanta homes are gaining and show no appreciation in return. Good God Man, Look at the state of you people. Go home and make your demands while wearing whatever shade of orange. It’s all tainted red anyways.

First of all….STOP HATING just because a Georgia school hasn’t won a Football or Basketball Championship in like 100 yrs (it is ok you still have gymnastics). Second of all as far as the remarks for Florida’s alumni IQ, UF has the second largest number of National Merit Scholars behind Harvard. Do something constructive with your time instead of making asinine remarks because you are jealous or just not good enough to be a Gator.

FSU already had one years ago, but couldn’t keep it… so this isn’t anything new. But for all you people wondering “how in the world cound Auburn have one?”, when I was at Auburn from 99-01, 4 out of 10 cars had GA plates. There are literally thousands of students at Auburn who graduated high school in the state of GA (I was one of them) and where do you think they go when they graduate college?? Add that to the people who are from AL and go to Atlanta for a job after graduation, and you have more Auburn fans in Atlanta than Tech fans.

UGA fans need to get over themselves… maybe this will inspire you to finally beat UF. Auburn has no problem doing it!

I honestly have no problem with being a law abiding citizen who pays for his/her vehicle registation and follows the traffic laws while also playing it safe.

We personalize our checks and are able to select team themes. I, by the way, live in Oklahoma and enjoy writing Georgia Bulldog checks when I have the opportunity….so why not our personal property as well? Like our car tag?

So, why not? Even in the picture on the AJC front page…….it is a responsible, law abiding representation of a property owner, flowing traffic laws and being safe….and paying the taxes to the State. (I forgot here….we are considering a Gator fan, my bad)

Believe me, riding around Oklahoma with a Georgia Bulldog tag would be awesome. Oh, for the possibilities….not to mention the mud slinging after we hang a big W on the Pokes September 1st.

For those wanting a Falcons Tag, you better start druming up support.

Since UF has owned UGA over the past 60+ years and has 2 LEGITIMATE National Championships (unlike the 1942 “consensus” title that didn’t include the AP that UGA claims) it’s understandable why us Gators would LOVE a tag to show our pride and the fact that it’s on a Georgia license plate, that’s just further proof of ownership!

And for the record, I’m not speaking for FL fans… I have no love for the Gator Nation. Not to mention, they’ll never outnumber the AU or UGA fans in Atlanta - as much as they think they do. All I’m saying is don’t come here and try to prove a point until UGA gets past the largest mental block in all of collegiate sports.

Most of the fans posting here probably weren’t even alive in the 50’s much less the late 30’s when all that UGA series lead build up started. The game is COMPLETELY different.

Also UF DOMINATES the SEC in all-sports. Facts back this up as well. Uf has won 17 of the last 20 SEC All-Sports titles and in the 24 history of the NATIONAL All-Sports rankings only UF and UCLA have been ranked in the top 10 EVERY SINGLE year.

Facts dont lie. UF owns you on the ifelds of play and in the classroom. We dont need another school to help us out or backwards logic. Actual rankings show we are better.

Whats also funny is talking about Jean Shorts when I can walk into Wal_mart in Buford and see 3 dozen UGA fans wearing Jean Shorts.

UGA people, why would you even care if the Gators have their license plates? It gives you a mark to not let over in traffic, turn in front of you, cut off, etc. Whenever I see a UGA plate, this is absolutely what I do.

As an asthetic point though, the license plate should not say “National Champions.” It has always driven me nuts that the Florida issued UF license plates have said “National Champtions” since Spurrier won in 1996. The designation of “National Champions” is better suited for the license plate frame.

Tim:

I’m not ignoring anything. By using the word “Since”, it literally means if you go back any further the statement isn’t true. YES, UGA has an 8 game lead, I fully acknowledge that. I also fully acknowledge that the Gators have had a better record in 4 of the last 6 decades in the head to head series. It’s not like I’m making anything up here. Yes, UGA rolled us in the pre-WWII days when leather helmets were en vogue. Problem is, very few (if any) posting to this thing were alive so how relevant is that? Ask any 21 year old kid (since they are the ones who are close to graduating) who won more in their lifetime? I’m 35 and for over half my life UF has been pounding UGA which really means pre-1980 isn’t all that relevant to me because I was too young to care and don’t remember it.

Darth Gator, Thank you for verifying the true character of Gator fans for any first time bloggers. In basketball, the non-dominant sport of THIRD choice for true college athletics fans, UGA has been less than stellar. We have more than made up for the deficit, however, in other secondary sports such as tennis, gymnastics, golf, snooker, and tiddlywinks. But just for fun, why don’t you run a little tabulation and find out how many UGA hoopsters have went on to make millions of dollars playing professional basketball, compared to say……… Florida players who have gone pro. After you complete this assignment, you may go to your room, french kiss your life-sized Steve Spurrier poster, and then you may return to the blog.

Dear Munson’s Biographer:

While you’re spewing epitaphs out please remember that REM and the B52s are from Athens.

Those who live in glass houses—-

From the UGA website: http://www.uga.edu/lambda/alumni.php

Their mission statement:

The UGA lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) alumnae/i group is for alumnae/i and friends of the LGBTQ community at the University of Georgia. The alumnae/i group sponsors social events such as happy hours, tailgating at football games, and potlucks; provides opportunities for professional networking; updates members on the progress of LGBT issues at the University; and provides a means for alumnae/i to support the LGBTQ community at UGA. The alumnae/i group is also a great way to keep in touch with friends. Events are held in Atlanta, Athens, and other parts of Georgia.

And the funny thing is is that the waiting list is twice as long as the list for season tickets.

Not that their is anything wrong with that.

Growing up in Tucker and watching the geeks I knew go to GT, the homosexuals go to UGA and the big haired great looking women go to AU, I chose AU.

http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/0721/b4035085.htm?chan=bschoolsundergrad+programs_undergraduate+b-school+news

Florida is best known as a sports juggernaut, and for a long time the Gators were its main claim to fame. Isolated in Gainesville, the university failed to create a single startup from faculty discoveries a decade ago. By the 2004-05 school year, though, its spin-off tally was up to 13. The Big Three still outdid Florida, with leader MIT generating 20, according to the latest annual survey by the Association of University Technology Managers (AUTM). But Florida whizzed past all the rest of the 228 survey respondents, including such better-endowed universities as Johns Hopkins and Harvard. The payoff is tangible: Florida’s license income jumped from $11 million 10 years earlier to $40.3 million, more even than MIT or Caltech. Its office of technology licensing is now a profit center.

Are you a gay sympathizer (which usually means you are gay, you just haven’t come to grips with it yet)? WHAT IS YOUR POINT? If you are gloating over the fact that you went to Auburn, then you are disqualified as far as intellect and credibility anyway……… For a trite and brief summation, with NO respect intended for gays, lesbians, freako transvestites, Gators, Tigers, or any other group that I have absolutely no regard for, here goes: I AM A BULLDAWG! I LIVE IN GEORGIA. REGARDLESS OF ALL OF THE BOISTEROUS, FLAMING POLITICAL POSTURING BY THE AFORE MENTIONED GROUPS, LET ME DEFINE GEORGIA FOR YOU. WE ARE A PROUD STATE OF THE DEEP SOUTH. WE HOLD DEEP SOUTHERN VALUES SUCH AS REVERENCE TO GOD, SAYING GRACE AT THE TABLE, RESPECTING OUR MOTHER, FIGHTING FOR OUR FAMILIES’ HONOR, AND UGA FOOTBALL. OUR IDEA OF A GREAT DAY IS A CRISP, CLEAR AUTUMN AFTERNOON UNDER BLUE SKIES IN SANFORD STADIUM, WOOFING OUR VOICES HOARSE, HEARING LARRY MUNSON’S GRUFF, LEGENDARY VOICE, AND A BULLDAWG VICTORY. OUR HEROES INCLUDE VINCE DOOLEY, HERSHEL WALKER, MUNSON, BUTLER, SONNY PERDUE, AND ELVIS PRESLEY. WE DON’T LIKE YANKEES, GATORS, TIGERS, VOLUNTEERS, GAMECOCKS, YELLOW JACKETS, WILDCATS, RAZORBACKS, STEVE SPURRIER, PEPPER RODGERS, OR ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. WE NOT ONLY BELIEVE HOMOSEXUALITY IS WRONG, DISGUSTING, AND HARMFUL TO THE FABRIC OF OUR CULTURE, WE ALSO BELIEVE THAT GOD HIMSELF IS DISPLEASED WITH IT. THIS IS THE SAME GOD THAT WE ARE CONVINCED LOVES SANFORD STADIUM, VINCE DOOLEY, FRANK SINKWICH, FRAN TARKENTON, HERSHEL WALKER, LARRY MUNSON, AND ALL OF THESE YOUNG ATHLETES WHO STRUGGLE TO MAKE GOOD DECISIONS IN A PARADISE SUCH AS ATHENS, GEORGIA. WE ARE THANKFUL FOR WHO WE ARE, WE TOLERATE YOU TO A POINT, AND WE BLEED GEORGIA BULLDAWG RED. OUR DREAMS ARE NARRATED BY LARRY MUNSON’S VOICE REMINDING LINDSAY SCOTT TO RUN, THE DEFENSE TO HUNKER DOWN, THE CLOCK TO RUN, AND SCENES RUN THROUGH OUR MIND DAILY OF #34 RUNNING OVER BILL BATES, UGA ALMOST DECAPITATING THAT RIDICULOUS YELLOW JACKET MASCOT, AND THE SCENE ON THE FIELD AFTER OUR NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP.

Let me preface my statement with this: I am NOT a UGA or UM alum; I went to Fort Valley State U. (JAX Jags- ur welcome for Derrick Wimbush) so I have 0 ties school wise…

This being said, the Gaytors are NOT wecome here, unless it is at a Okeefenokee Swamp park in Waycross, and usually a park ranger would be wrangling it to death, so I’ve heard.

I grew up in the 80’s & 90’s, so all I heard was Go Dawgs and UUUUU-M. My granny lived on NW 54th im Miami, right in between Liberty City and Little Haiti. It may not be the haven of cfb in the “great state of FLA” (Jeb Bush-hahahaha) but I tell u one thing: NOBODY WAS DOIN THE DAMN GAYTOR CHOMP DOWN THERE. And besides it felt nice to root for a WINNER, even if it was out of state.

UGA got jobbed in 1992, I saw that game I was 10 y.o. but I knew well enough that a bs pass interference call vs UGA after the final gun is = to a bs pass interference call vs UM after the final gun, so if THAT’s what a g8tr wants to bite down on, oh well.

What I really wanna know is that why does the U of F+ revel in beating the DAWGS but they pee-pee in the pot-tay whenever they DON’T wanna play MY HURRICANES? I remember they didn’t want to do it in 2000, 01, or 02 due to “conflicts of scheduling”, but soon jumped at the chance to play them in 03 when Brock Berlin didn’t wanna win 1 for the Zooker and got outta there for the U. I guess that worked out well for y’all huh?

I am GEORGIA fan, meaning I root for all GA teams, and my Canes since I was a kid too, but one thing I can say about FL:IF IT WASN’T FOR MIAMI, NOBODY WOULD EVEN BOTHER TO BE THERE. Orlando? Well despite what the Orange Co. tourism board thinks, nno one’s gonna pay $200 a ticket to see only 1 theme park out of four, folks. And that goes ditto for Universal Studios too. But honestly, I’ve been from the top to the bottom of FL and MIAMI’s the only thing you people have got going for you, and it’s basically a Cocaine Cowboy City once you go past downtown and Biscayne Blvd. Fine-@$$ girls aplenty, but half of em no hablo ingles, o espanol either senor. O well, they know when ur not from there b/c we have the “clean” clothes on ;-)

And as far as Gainesville being #1: well DUH! All the white folks who got scared of living next to Pablo and Franco down there in Broward & Dade Counties moved as far north in FLA as possible without being in the “dreaded” state of GA. It looks that way too. Why else would there be a BIG DADDY DAN GARLITS DRAG RACING MUSEUM & RV PARK right off the interstate exit there?? Or a Stuckey’s at EVERY OFF RAMP?? Hell i didn’t know I was there until I saw a off ramp sign saying it ACTUALLY gainesville and not Ocala. LOL! That place is as diverse as a pack of notebook paper, but y’all must keep em somewhere or else your teams would be dragged like the BIG DAADDY!! Seriously, A DRAG RACING MUSEUM?? If y’all ride down 75, look to the left it’s a giant warehouse with 5 funny cars out front, and ironically, 3 of them are on on bricks! No joke, it’s a sight to see.. NOT!

I’d rather live in TECHWOOD than in G’vile (yes I meant to say it this way, b/c your water is vile). I’d rather be in the Stegasaurus than in the Gainesville Inn next to the Stuckeys & Truck Stop. ATLANTA is where you’d want to be and ATHENS is what you LOVE TO H8, but MIAMI is ALL Y’ALL GOT, period.

UGA fans (and UM too): IDK what it is about North FLA but I can’t seem but notice that VALDOSTA looks more advanced than LAKE CITY, G’VILE, OCALA, combined. If it weren’t for Daytona ther’d be jack-shhh to do there other than wait for the gaytors to play. Jacksonville? Beeyotch please!! Looks like Columbus with a NFL team to me. Even Camden County people h8 that place, they’d rather drive 250 miles to the ATL. How do I know? I went to schol with quite a few of them. Ditto for Tallahassee, although I love it when them Seminal Criminals beat y’all into gucci bags every year too. FAMU girls are the only reason Tal is even worth mentioning, b/c I could go sell a re-up to the stoner Bush twins and be done with the place.

And while the DAWGS may have not had the best o’ times with gaytors, I can say that the weekend b4 the NC game last January, I had the pleasure of showing a gf of mine from G’vile what DAWGy style is all about;-). even tho we had a brief tete a tete about the game, “Gaytors baby” and and all(ugh), her constant thanking of the Lord as well as various descritions of how bad FLA interstates are (aka they look like “sH$%t”) more than made up for her reptilian allegiance. Did I also say she thinks GA boys are too wild? GO figure, but nver the less she was glad I was there and thus, I can safely say THIS GA DAWG truly “stuck it to a gator” that night ;-)!!

2002 was a gr8 year for me, and for GA as well, although a UGA vs UM Fiesta Bowl would’ve made me jump off the roof of the Ga Dome. Here’s to more of em!! Dawgs, Canes, Bees, all g-double o-d with me!!

Tim Teblow: the most sought after QB in a state that is 66% illegal immigrants. Hmmm. Is that a football pedigree? And Dawg fans, did you read it? Even these blowhard Gaytor fans are already bowing down to the greatness of Matthew Stafford. Sounds like they’re positioning themselves for a soon-coming butt kicking to me! They’re so intimidated that they either have to post childish garbage trying to twist his conquest at Talledega, or they simply are preparing themselves for the whooping! I love it!

Munson biographer….LOL…I knew you would respond. You are the only one responding to everyone’s posts….the POINT was lets talk about now…and lets talk sports oh pompous one. They were champions as are the Gators…and what the Dawgs once were when I was 10 years old. You do realize that it’s 2007 don’t you?

As BRILLIANT as you seem to be…you do understand word association??

We’re all waiting for your research now…lets talk football man. Not Hershel, Hoage, Belue, Lastinger, Goff in 1977…lets talk about NOW.

What are you going to do THIS year. Is Stafford going to continue his excellent play? Are you guys gonna go after Richt’s head if he loses a game to Vandy or Kentucky?? I saw the comments last year…and you guys were ripping in fighting like the Hatfields and McCoys (a redneck reference) for your compadres to understand.

Illegal Aliens…LOL…you evern been to Buford Hwy??

and munson called someone immature….LOL. You’re wrong…he was among the most sought after in the nation along with Stafford and Mustain.

Okay…what was the score of last year’s game that Stafford played in?? Whatever the percentage is…anyone with any type of sports knowledge knows how fertile the talent is in the South…namely Florida. It’s the most recruited state in the country…Georgia at best has been the 4th…but it’s generally behind Florida, Texas, & California. This clown actually says that we fear the Dawgs…cmon man…even your dumb azz knows better.

I’ll be back to post in October…lets see what you have to say then.

I apologize to all Gator fans for indulging with his idiot. He knows nothing…he’s weak as hell..

Now go ahead and continue your pseudo-intellectual bantor with the Auburn dude. You already blew your top typing in all caps. LOL

Now go on with your immigration jokes..they are hella-original

Touche’ atlgator88. We have done a good job of containing them in Metro Atlanta. We decided to give that to the Techies 20 years ago anyway. Ah, the future’s so bright I’ve got to wear shades. Word association, let me see. Matthew Stafford? SEC Championship. Mark Richt? Offensive genius. Tim Tebow? Joe Terishinski. World Largest Cocktail Party 2008? Gator Slaughter. How did I do? Oh wait……… Ron Zook? Naw, that’s too easy.

Trill phil….Atlanta is a great city…the best sisters anywhere…but you have ONE city. Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville (where’s Macon’s football team??), Ft Lauderdale…AND Miami…but hey We’re here right, so ATL is alright with me?? I love the ATL…and love whoopin GA azz while here…ad talking shyt with my boys who are from here.

I-75 and most interstates don’t go through towns…and that’s the case with Valdosta & Gainesville. They are about the same size…”decent” sized towns…but cmon Valdosta is countier looking dog…be for real.

And come on…how you gonna talk division 1 & 2.

To sit here and brag about college towns as far as what’s liver…futile dog. It’s a college town plain & simple…like Athens. Gainesville vs Athens…GA guys are gonna say athens…Fla guys are going to say Gville. I’ve been to both…they have the school…some restaurants…apartments…and a couple of high schools…

Now Miami owns us over the years…but I have plenty of family in Miami and in the area you grew up in. OF COURSE they are Miami fans…but as you MUST know…most UM fans never set foot on the campus. Florida by far has the most alumni in the state…and the biggets supporters. Don’t be deterred by your environment.

FSU…man cmon…it should be 4 straight…but we’ll count refgate

UM is all of my boys favorite teams back home…they didn’t go there though…and it’s no diss whatsoever…but to say that there were no Gator fans in Florida is inaccurate. UM & UF had a great rivalry until Jimmy johnson got there…then we dropped you guys off the schedule…after the 31-4 azz whoopin Emmitt’s freshman year…I’ll give you that..

BUT…this is not about UM vs FSU or Florida…its about a tag…and the dog fan who don’t win on the field getting in an uproar. We OWN the dogs…u know this phil!!

You don’t need to see a UGA tag to tell a UGA fan. You just have to see the number and size of Confederate flags that they display. The bigotry that they display towards fans of other colleges shows through in everything that they do.

I understand the Bulldawg Nation’s resistance to the special license plate for Florida Gator partisans. Put aside your bitter hatred for this rival. Think rationally rather than emotionally. Alums from colleges all around the world come to Atlanta for its vast opportunities, good weather and Red State values. This is especially true of SEC and ACC grads. Unfortunately, we are also prone to Yankee infestations.

Nonetheless, as a Georgia alum, I take great pride in UGA and its membership in the SEC - the nation’s best and toughest football conference. It is the best because of Georgia, Florida, Auburn, LSU, Tennessee, Arkansas, Alabama and South Carolina. We may dislike each other on Fall Saturdays, but we are bound together by our SEC membership. Each school is better off for it.

I want to see the SEC do well. I had several conniptions last season because of the Dawg’s pititful performance at times. I hated losing to Florida by only 7 points. However, when Florida was representing our conference and the Solid South, I had to put aside the rivalry and pull for Florida. Now I don’t have to listen to Yankees and Big Ten fans holler about Ohio State being BCS champs.

If the Atlanta Gator Club can accumulate the 1,000 signatures for the tag to get approved, Good for them. Every tag sold means extra revenue for the state hopefully not to misappropriated by the Governor.

Here is the crux of my argument. Last year the AJC published an article highlighting the number of Auburn tags that have been issued. The number was around 6,300. That compared to 9,900 for the North Avenue Trade School and 43,000 for the University of Georgia. Nothing would make me happier than to see Auburn and Florida plates exceed the number of Georgia Tech plates. It would reinforce the following facts:

GT already has an inferiority complex. This would only exacerbate it.

So you do, but the simple fact is that Dr. Foley is scared of Little Havana, Coral Gables, and 25th St. Just like there are UF fans here & in FLA (I never said that they weren’t) , its true. Miami is to FLA as FLA is to UGA. That is one of the main reasons I root for them. And UM should’ve had back to back NC’s goin into the “robbery in the desert” back in 2002. I know you know what I’m talking bout bra!!

HINT: Santana Moss just ran one back, AGAIN.

So the NC’s are D1 & D2. The discussion was the # of NC’s period. No one asked for a specific division. But if you’re counting that then ok you win. But as long as you know that 50% of them came from the Canes iag, ok?

Valdosta has 2 malls & a amusement park. Gainesville has Big Daddy, Stuckeys, a “mall” (albeit smaller than Valdosta’s), and a few truck stops. But I digress……:-(

Lastly I appalud the effort, and as far as the census bureau goes, then yeah FLA has more bigger cities. But i’ve been thru em man, they aren’t too remarkable other than Miami. Orlando wouldn’t be jack w/o Disney World, and Tampa is so-so even by FLA standards. Jacksonville is the bathroom break stop between ATL/Savannah and Daytona Beach. I’d give u more props if u said DB INSTEAD of Jacksonville. Fort Lauderdale, well other than that I-95/FLA turnpike/ I-295 fake spaghetti junction they’ve got I didn’t see anything too remarkable about the place. Well maybe 1 thing: there isn’t too much graffitti on the walls.

And as far as the tag: if u get it, great. But this talk is for the GA peeps who have pride in their state and not wanting to see their most hated rival with a state-issued registered tag. Im sure there’d be a riot in Tally town if some1 suggested a UGA tag or a GT tag for FLA residents. So there’s a t** for tat syntax that can be applied to this blog.

And not for nothing but FSU had their shot to “steal” a NC and make it 3 or 4, but Oklahoma beat em like they stole something (other than shoes, hee hee). And u u know this mr. gator!

Ps- Wal Mart sells ALL NCAA car tags for $8.99. Car washes do it for $5.

I might be wrong, but don’t h8 if i’m right on us winning this year. UGA plays better when we ain’t half-dead like every other year (i.e bye week)

i have an idea,if they want a uf tag okay,start at $1000.00[for a ‘72pinto],and go up from there.no money whatsoever should be sent to uf.use all the proceeds for road construction in cobb county so these flapeople can get out of our way.we could build a special hwy with all right hand lanes for all the fla old people. if the uf will let us make money on their mascot and not want any revenue,i am all for it.

I am a graduate of the University of Florida, a member of the Windy City (Chicagoland area)Florida Alumni Association, and a resident of Munster, Indiana.

When the vanity tags for colleges were first offered in states, the population was not as mobile. Since leaving Florida, I have lived in Texas, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia (Athens), and, now, Indiana. The odds are against my ever returning to live in Florida. Yet, I would like to have a state tag supporting my alma mater. Now, I have to try to arrange letters and numbers (GATOR 66) and hope that the tag is available.

So… Each state should allow the vanity tag for any school that can meet the requirements.

On behalf of the thousands of DAWGS that live in Jacksonville, Fla. If the Gators receive a “special” tag in Georgia, I would expect to see a similiar Tag in Fla. We could also say National Champions 1980. After all, after this year the Gators will no longer be National Champions. I’m certain the Dawgs in Fla. could generate the signatures required in less than a day for a special tag.

By the way, we will prevail this year in Jacksonville. Stafford is a far better QB than Tebow.

I live in Tennessee and they have a whole line of school plates available. Every year when I get my renewal form, I see them. Every SEC school except Georgia (even the freaking Mississippi schools) are available. Also a bunch of ACC schools including GA Tech. I’m not really bothered about a Gator tag in Georgia. I’m p** about a lack of a Dawgs tag in Tennessee.

If they expects to continue expect to vontinue their tenure in the state legislator they need to recognize those of us who do not lend to their way of thinking. They also need to realize that most gator fans are educated individuals who know how to read and are very literate like me. I am a gator fan primarily because they are SEC And my favorite color is blue. this person also needs to understand that I am college educated and a teacher with influence throughout the state. Remember Roy barnes, the teachers are what voted h8im out and I can send e-mails to every teache I know. They need to realize that they work at the dicretion of the voters not as a hired employee. Understand that we as voters would like to see more variety in our choice for lisense plates and we would like for ignoratn peoople to keep their noses out of the will of the people which is what the consitution says. If he needs any reminding just read the ninth and tenth ammendments of the constitution. those are all about the will of the people.

I think the dialogue is pretty much futile here because Auburn has already paved the path for the Florida tag. You can’t allow for Auburn to have a specialized plate and then not allow the same privilege for other teams. Besides, most Florida fans already paste Gator heads over the peach on their license tags (similar to the big “G” Georgia fans paste on theirs.)The only difference here is, as many others have stated, the state of Georgia will gain the revenue. Get over it.
