As a Tech fan, I always give my UGA friends grief over their off-the-field woes.

But then I look at the way Florida runs its program (9 arrests in the last 9 months). You have got to be kidding me?!?!

I would love to have a national championship but I’m not so sure I’d love having to cheer for a boatload of convicts. And yes, I realize Tech had Reuben Houston, but that was ONE guy and it was marijuana…not theft or spousal abuse.

Florida and UGA both have thuggish players but Florida takes the cake…hands down.

I hope this game goes into 10 overtimes knotted at 7-7.

Eat, drink, be merry?? Hell, this game reminds me of Pearl Harbor all over again. I eat, drink and feel merry when anyone else beats the gators. The UGA-FL game is no fun anymore. Sadly, a great rivalry is no longer a rival.

Load the bus head to private tailgate in Jax with BBQ, Booze & live music. Go to the game. Get back on bus, booze it up at the beach house and watch other games on tv.

First, there is a big difference between getting arrested and being a convict. Tech does not have a law school, does it? Second, please give me a example of a UF player that was arrested for a violent crime (assault, spousal abuse etc.)

Brandon James - marijuana
Dorian Munroe was charged with theft when he removed a University Police Department boot from his car and put it in his trunk. Jacques Rickerson (possession of marijuana) - case was resolved without legal punishment. Dustin Doe (affray) - brawling charges against Doe were dismissed. It was self defense. John Curtis (probation violation) with possession of an alcoholic beverage by a minor. Tony Joiner – Theft from a towing lot – no charges filed

Which one of these is the CONVICT? I really wish this things would not happen but they are all things that College kids do. This is the only one that was really bad:

Ronnie Wilson, who was charged with two felonies and a misdemeanor for an April incident involving a gun in a parking lot near campus. He has been suspended indefinitely. Please have some facts before spouting off at the mouth (keyboard).

noyellowinthisblood I think you are making up a story. Perpetuating a myth that was concocted to help people deal with the reality of being owned. I don’t think there were any gator fans in jean shorts. I have not seen mullets and jorts in Gainesville since the late 80’s. Wasn’t that the last time UGA had success vs UF? Maybe UGA fans have blocked out the last 17 years and only chose to remember the years before that! We’ve since replaced our jorts with new gear from 4 National Championships. But then again, I’m sure you have a Gym Dawgs National Champs tank top in your closet!

Your use of ‘Gayturd’ shows your lack of maturity and education. I’d take a dig a UGA here, but I’m pretty sure you have not actually attended the University.

How about you go stick your head in a hole Gary, and not come out. It will always be “The World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party”. Head to St. Simons on Thursday and drink it up, and eat some seafood, Friday head to the Landing for a night you won’t forget and mingle with the few Florida ladies and tease them. Then wake up on Saturday and just fire up the grill, bring out the t.v, and get d-runk before heading to the game. Come back to the tailgate after a Dawgs win, and not go to sleep till Sunday night.

I hate everything about FL/GA weekend. I hate how the excessive alcohol brings the jacka** out in all of the fans and I hate the city of Jacksonville itself. I don’t buy the argument “they have the worst fans” because every school has some horrible fans. It is just that much more magnified at this event because it is well known how much of a party it is supposed to be. I hope one day it becomes a rivalry again, and that the Dawgs can win some. Congratulations to Florida they always seem to find a way to win and that is what good teams do. I hope it is a good game and no injuries on either side. Everybody be safe in Jacksonville and pay attention to your surroundings at all times.

All the students are in St. Simons Island. This is my senior year (hmm, 5th year) and we are staying at The King and Prince on the beach. From there, the main hot spot on the island is Brogan’s; that is where it all goes down. Then, on Saturday, we will catch a bus to the stadium, tailgate, and go to the game. It is hilarious to see how NONE of the Florida girls dress up; they all wear jorts and jerseys while all the lady Dawgs are all prettied up. If we win, we go to The Landing. If we lose, like normal, we’ll go back to St. Simons.

JAX SUX BIG TIME!!!!

Saddest part is the city itself always pulls for the dogs as we will spend it up and are fun folks to be lit with after!! After living there for a few years this IS the report I got from many business owners and residents down there. UF fans are lame and no fun, but even with the home city pulling for us….. consistent bad coaching has led to an abominal 2-14?? since UF brought out the thier tactical nuclear weapon, I mean coach Steverino. What the FK!!!!! Dawgs this is so sad, NO REALY all we can do as fans is just sit back and get ST on year after year. Now after watching Richt vs. Urban I feel the same as it was in the 90’s. We are just outgunned and our program is 100% outspent!!! UF spends big to win football and basketball and we haven’t started to yet. UGA actually builds big educational buildings and invests in other sports besides Thug ball. At this point after seeing the genetics of UF fans in general especially the NAPPY females that graduated from that educational institution, they honestly need power house football and now basketball cause they aint got a whole lot after that down there. Hey Gator fans I’ll give you your thug ball dominance over the last 17 years but your campus/town/babes absolutely SUCK!!!! UGA wins big where it truly counts baby!!!! Don’t believe me??? I have spent time in the butthole of Florida and it its called Gainesville!!! Come on up to A town (finest college town in the world!!)

Proudest UGA alum ever right here!!!

Best damn college period. Even if dogs go 0-12 in football students and alum are living a life without jean shorts, confidently knowing that our college experience was the best in the country.

GA FL is a great time to spend time in St. Simons Island. I live here, and friends typically come down to enjoy the festivities. Tip: buy your groceries about Wednesday and sit back and watch the spectacle. Some years we go to the game, and some years we stay right here. This year we’ll cook and eat all day, watch the game on big screen, and probably visit both of the Brogens bar and grill here on SSI. Brogens North will be an older, more settled crowe, and Brogens South (at the pier) will be the wildest place in the Bulldog Nation this week — it’s hallowed ground. These two restaurants are Dawg headquarters, and you’re likely to see many UGA luminaries there at one time or another.

I’ve lived in Jacksonville since moving from Georgia in 2001. Here’s a couple of tips: 1. If you are looking for really fresh, really good seafood - go to Singleton’s or Safe Harbor. Both are in Mayport, right at the boat docks, and get fish right off the boats. If you are staying on Amelia Island, it’s an easy drive down A1A and then take the ferry across the St Johns River. 2. As someone mentioned before, Cruisers in Jax Beach has the best burgers in town. Order the burger without salt though… 3. If you are staying at the beach, Pete’s Bar is awesome. It looks like a hole-in-the-wall type place, but it has cheap drinks and pool tables too. 4. Re #3 - watch out for the cops! That goes for everywhere in this area.
5. Party hard, be safe, and lets paint this town red and black! See you at The Landing Friday night. GO DAWGS! (And yes, I know this was more than a couple of things)
