A letter from an Auburn alumni.

I will preface this by saying that I have heard stories about some really classless acts by UGA fans to Auburn fans at the game Saturday, with that said, I can only go by what I saw and experienced. Four of us drove up Saturday morning, this was my second trip to Athens and I had a good time the first time but any trash talking was probably due to student to student trash talking and I was more than likely dishing it out as much as taking it.

I want to thank the Georgia fans for the great time that we had this past weekend. This is sarcasm or any type of slap in the face, this is a true thank you. We walked around and talked with several groups of Georgia fans and everyone was great to us, granted we weren't belligerently drunk and making asses of ourselves so we were more than likely a breath of fresh air. During the game, even when you guys were down, the fans around us were great to us and were the same after the game. We went to Red Rooster for lunch before the game and talked with a few fans in there and had a good time talking with them.

All in all, we had a great time and want to come back. You guys have a great campus and a beautiful stadium, I honestly hope you guys appreciate the facilities you have.

Until next year, War Eagle and Go Dawgs, damn do I want to beat you guys next year.

Glad you had a good time!

When not correcting the spelling and grammar of rival blogs, we can actually be a pretty tolerable bunch.

Much obliged, Mattco

I’m glad you had a good time and I’m glad the hometown fans you encountered were cordial to you. While I take the rivalry very seriously, I try to be sportsmanlike (as evidenced by my attempt to shake the hand of the Auburn fan I encountered after the game), and I’m pleased to learn that my fellow Georgia fans behaved themselves in their dealings with you.

You are a credit to your fan base. I hope you will visit, both the Classic City and this weblog, in the future.

Go 'Dawgs!
