Not "they." UGA fans say he can't win the big one. I live in Savannah, Georgia, and if Athens is the heart of Dawg Country, then this place is the soul. I have to put up with these ****ers daily. "Richt can't win the big game..." YOU SPOILED MOTHER****ERS! For 20 ****ing years before Mark Richt got to Athens you averaged a seasonal record of 6-7. After you hired Richt, you averaged 10-2. YOU MOTHER****ERS NEVER HAD A BIG GAME BEFORE RICHT!
The history of the UGA football program reads:
****, ****, ****, ****, Hershel Walker (1980), **** **** **** ****, **** CMRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.
The 15 years of Mark Richt's tenure is the greatest period of sustained success the university had ever encountered. And they threw him away. UGA has 8 wins in their last 29 meetings against Florida. Richt owns 5 of those, yet they fired Richt because he couldn't beat Florida.
I figured this Cannon dude for a Johnny Rebel good ol' boy! I just can't figure out why he's a Cane fan. May be he graduated from Miami, Florida. hUh. But then again, he's probably ANOTHER bandwagon, wannabe' Cane fan. hUh.
In the early 80's I was just getting old enough to get into college football. I didn't yet know enough about it to have a favorite team. My folks bought me **** like Bulldog t-shirts. My dad still has an un-opened 6 pack of Coca-Cola commemorating the the 1980 UGA Championship.
UGA was the "home" team, but they weren't my team. Hershel was gone to the NFL, and I wasn't old enough to appreciate the UGA hey-day. All the kids my age couldn't relate to UGA either. After Hershel, wasn't much to get excited about. All the cool kids in school were hyping up a team to the south of us. See, I grew up in DEEP south Georgia. Tallahassee was 3 hours closer than Athens, so I watched my friends become FSU fans in absence of any sign of life from the "home team."
Me, being the ******* that I am, decided to cheer for the team that would **** off the most people. And the more we won, the more they hated it. Then FSU picked up a kid named Charlie Ward from a little 3A Georgia high school down the road, the rivalry really heated up. Both my personal rivalry with friends and the FSU/Miami rivalry on the field.
Ain't no bandwagon around here, kiddo. Being a Hurricane is as much a part of who I am as anything. I grew up in an place where everybody was either a UGA or FSU fan and I decided to be something else. Everybody knew me as that kid that roots for Thug U. I didn't grow up in Miami where you were a Hurricane before you even knew it. I chose this. I chose it when it wasn't popular BECAUSE it wasn't popular. When we started winning, it became something uniquely mine. It has always been a thing that defines me in the eyes of people who know me. A lot of the people in the Miami area or surrounding area, where you are surrounded by Canes don't full grasp the level of hate that's out there for Miami. I was THE only Hurricane fan growing up. When we were up I was despised by everyone. When we were down I was kicked by everyone. I learned to embrace the hate, even to enjoy it. Because from a very unique perspective, I understand the hate. I know what it means when they hate. It means they're afraid.
It’s Loose Cannon versus Loose Stool. Give me The Cannon.
