Would Fans of the Georgia Bulldogs Most Like to See the Boise State Broncos, Florida Gators, or Auburn Tigers Crash and Burn?

PrintAmong the character traits that define fans of the Georgia Bulldogs is an inherent aversion to orange, particularly when that atrocious affront to the visual sense is displayed in combination with blue. This year, the Red and Black are scheduled to cross paths with a trio of teams clad in that odious color scheme, and, while it goes without saying that we want the ‘Dawgs to grind all three of them into a fine powder, there is a legitimate debate over which of them we want to see crash and burn more completely over the course of the 2011 campaign.
Here are the arguments for and against each:
Why we should wish them well: Pollsters assume (wrongly) that all BCS conference schedules are equal, or at least equivalent, so they attach disproportionate significance to non-conference schedules. (This is why Auburn was not allowed to lose the national championship game at the end of the 2004 season.) Consequently, a good run by the Broncos after the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Classic will well serve the Bulldogs’ strength of schedule. In addition, the BSU faithful basically are a good bunch. Yeah, they’re new to big-time trash-talking, but, then, they’re new to the big time, period, so that’s to be understood. A quick trip to One Bronco Nation Under God reveals that they’re reasonable folks with whom one may have a civilized conversation. As we say in these parts, they’re good people. Also, they’re neither Auburn nor Florida, which is a point in anyone’s favor, really.
Why we should wish them ill: Granted, they have reason for confidence, but they don’t have that much reason for confidence. It’s reasonable to believe the Broncos will win on September 3, but the sense of this game as an inevitable coronation---a sense that was very much present prior to (but not after) the 2005 meeting between these two teams, as well, by the way---is getting to be a bit much to take. It ain’t bragging if you can do it, and their confidence may prove to be justified, but, until it does, Boise State is still a team with an 0-4 all-time record against the SEC. If the game is over and the Broncos have won, this will be fair game, but, until then, it’s a little over the top. After all, Georgia should beat Florida this year, but, given the Bulldogs’ marked lack of success against the Gators over the course of the last two decades, you don’t hear us predicting a victory in Jacksonville, even though the Classic City Canines lead the all-time series with the Sunshine State Saurians. Likewise, a little less chest-thumping in the land of the blue turf would seem wise until that particular worm has turned. Oh, and, speaking of the Gators . . .
Why we should wish them well: It reflects favorably on every team in the league when SEC squads do well. Georgia hasn’t benefited from facing relatively weaker Gator clubs in Jacksonville, where the ‘Dawgs fell to Florida in 1992, 2002, 2005, and 2010, despite having no business losing any of those games, so we might as well get the Sunshine State Saurians at their peak. Wouldn’t it be cool to see a repeat of 1985, when Georgia upset the Gators while they were ranked No. 1 for the first time in school history?
Why we should wish them ill: They’re a rival. They’re not just a rival, they’re a division rival, and, with all due respect to the Tennessee Volunteers and the South Carolina Gamecocks, they’ve been the division rival that has done the most damage to the Bulldogs’ prospects for winning the East since the SEC expanded in 1992. They’re the only major rival against whom Mark Richt has a losing record. They were coached by Steve Spurrier, who was the most hated opposing coach of the post-Pat Dye era until they were coached by Urban Meyer, who succeeded the Evil Genius in that role. Now they’re coached by Will Muschamp, a University of Georgia graduate who has done everything in his power to dis his alma mater. Also, they’re the Florida Gators.
Why we should wish them well: See my previous point about how it’s helpful to us for other SEC teams to do well. This is particularly true of teams in the Western Division, since we don’t have to worry about their success derailing our efforts to make it to Atlanta. Also, between the poisoning of the oak trees at Toomer’s Corner, the allegations made in the HBO special, the ongoing NCAA investigation(s), and the record-breaking Fulmer Cup points bonanza, they could use a little sympathy, don’t you think? Yeah, I’ve got nothing here.
Why we should wish them ill: Do you really want to get me started on this? They’re a rival. They’re not just a rival, they’re our oldest rival; in fact, ours is the region’s oldest rivalry. (Don’t listen to those North Carolina parvenus; they can’t count, anyway, although, in that respect, they’re no different from Auburn.) We’ve played Auburn more times than any other opponent. We’ve lost to Auburn more times than any other opponent. They’ve ruined more of our seasons than any other opponent, having provided the lone blemish on otherwise perfect records in 1892, 1942, 1971, and 1983. They’re the biggest cheaters in the SEC, and they resent us for disliking them, no matter how justified our disdain for them is. They think we’re a bunch of sons of bitches, and we know they’re a bunch of sons of bitches. Also, they’re the Auburn Tigers. I hate Auburn. I mean, I know vineyarddawg hates Florida, but I hate Auburn so badly, I lack the capacity to express my hatred adequately in English. Auburna delenda est!
There you have it, folks. Those are the reasons you should wish our orange-and-blue-clad opponents well in every game except the ones they play against the Bulldogs, as well as the reasons you should root for each of them to go 0-12. Where do you fall on this one? Let us know by voting in the poll and explaining your position in the comments below.

I've always taken a more is more philosophy about such questions...
I’m sure their fans are all nice people (ok…Boise at least) but can’t they all crash and burn? While we’re at it… let’s find a way for every team of consequence to crash and burn. That way, when Georgia inevitably crashes and burns it won’t look so bad by comparison.
If we can’t win the National Championship, wouldn’t we all feel better if it was some out of nowhere program about which we have no feelings one way or the other?
I nominate… umm… UTEP or something.

You've got to reconsider
Auburn fan here. Kyle, even if you think Auburn is the biggest bunch of lousy cheaters, you must admit, no rational person can argue that Auburn cheats as bad as Bama, or even in the same ballpark. Bama has been on probation for 17 years. The NCAA said they were staring down the barrel of a loaded gun!
Please crush Boise State

You know, those Gators aren't half bad, and you can't really harbor any ill will towar...
… BWAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Sorry, I couldn’t type that with a straight face. No, seriously, the Gators can go to hell, get beaten up and kicked out by Satan’s bouncers, then go to hell again.

Dear Vine
I was talking to TT the other day and referring to something I loathe & detest this way – I hate it as much or more than Vine hates Florida. You’re hatred of the Gators is the new standard by which I measure my own hatred of a person/place/thing.
I can bake like a demon.
Aww, that makes me feel special. :-)
I’m not sure that it’s the “good” kind of special, but I’ll still take it.

Hmm . . .
Clearly, I need to ratchet up my hatred for Auburn, because I’m starting to lag behind.

Wow
40 fans of those 3 teams came here and voted out of 121 votes? Really? Nearly 1/3 of the votes came from outside the Bulldog Nation – dang Kyle, the blog must really doing well…..

It was 175 votes. And the blog is horrible, that’s why nobody comes here anymore.

Thanks, podunkdawg.
The suggestion came from Joel at Rocky Top Talk, who includes a “Trolls vote here” option in his polls, so that non-Tennessee fans can vote without skewing the results. I didn’t want to disparage our guests by using the term “troll,” but I did want to let others participate without fiddling with our statistics.
Go 'Dawgs!
Speaking of Anti-Orange ...
I will NOT be attending the Florida-Texas CWS baseball game Saturday night here in Omaha because I can’t stomach either team (Hook ’em Horns though in this contest). I WILL be attending the afternoon opener between Vanderbilt and North Carolina and pulling for the Commies.
George Bush (the younger) will be throwing out the first pitch which should be interesting.
All this assumes the field will not be 2 feet underwater …..no sure thing given the massive flooding up here. Missouri River over the banks and still rising.

Here is a question....
Let’s say Auburn or Florida does crash and burn and fall off the face of the planet….would you miss them? Kinda have to say that I would miss the AU Georgia rivalry because its a lot of fun. As much as we hate our rivals I think we kinda require them to stick around. Auburn used to be rivals with Florida before the league split. Now since we don’t play every year the rivalry is greatly faded. I have heard from numerous alumni that they wish we would play Florida each year. I kinda think the same would happen if AU and UGA stopped playing.

Oh, I don't mean literally crash and burn.
I’m not hoping for a plane to go down or anything; I just want the Plainsmen to go 0-12.

Already had that almost happen in 1996... during a game against LSU.
During that game, a facility known as “the Barn” (seriously) located adjacent to the stadium spectacularly burned to the ground, while the game being played inside was never even delayed. That seemed to work for the Bayou Bengals, who won the game…

"The Barn." "The Bunker." Cam Newton praising his father at the Heisman ceremony.
It simply is not possible to be an Auburn fan and possess any sense of irony whatsoever.

I thought about that once if the actual stadium could burn down. But the thing is made of concrete and aluminum. The only thing that may set ablaze in that place is the actual field.

Two words & a primal scream of rage: Nick (----) Fairley
I hope Florida goes 0-12 every year. I don’t hate Auburn nearly as much; I never even got on the Cam Newton Hate Train. But because of Nick Fairley, I hope this season they go 1-11 and have their victory over Florida vacated.
Leaving insightful football commentary and analysis to other people since 2006.
Boise without a doubt. They are media favorites and in the conversation for a national title when Nevada is one of their tougher games.
I doubt they could go .500 in a full SEC season, they don’t have the depth to survive. I was in the stands to see Spurrier hang 50 between the hedges and anything short of a W against Boise will be worse. The SEC is the premier conf. and losing to Boise would be a let down for the entire SEC.
Florida is my most disliked team in the SEC by far… But as much as I dislike those lizards, they do play a full SEC schedule and winning in Jax in the 80s was alot of fun.
For me, this is not even close.
I would be thrilled for Boise State to finish the regular season 11-1. It would not hurt my feelings for Florida to finish 11-1, because that would put us in a tie for the East, and we’d go to the Dome; plus we would have the extra benefit of being the lone blemish on their record that puts them out of SEC championship contention, sweetly reminiscent of years past (like Spurrier’s Heisman year, for example).
It’s hard to imagine any freude would be quite so sweet as watching the schaden of Auburn’s going from 14*-0 to 0-12.

All three would be nice.....
Boise, because I think they are the most overrated team in College football. Start playing more than one tough game a season and I might change my mind.
Auburn, because they are cheaters that cheat so often that everyone there just treats it as the way things are supposed to be done.
Florida, well, I mean it is Florida….do I really need to spell it out?
"Man, is there gonna be some property destroyed tonight." - Larry Munson
Aaarggh!
First, can’t believe there was no option for picking both UF and AU!
Don’t really care 1 way or the other what happens to Boise after we play, win or lose. But trying to decide whether to wish on UF or AU is kinda like asking whether you’d prefer Gotterdammerung for Hitler’s Germany or Tojo’s Japan.
I want nothing but heartbreak and miserable defeats for both teams, fans hysterically weeping, players throwing punches at Big John, missing and getting their asses kicked and then evicted for all eternity, lawsuits and endless NCAA investigations, blowouts at the hands of Vanderbilt and Ole Miss and weedkiller-proof dandelions and crabgrass growing in their damn stadiums. BUT, if FORCED to pick, I’ll take the Gators because it is an absolute travesty of the natural order of things for them to be winning titles and beating UGA and gloating about it. At least when Auburn won its title, it did it just like you’d expect, all cheating and late hits, so all the world can see what we’ve always known.
God, I’m emotionally wrung out from just thinking about this! Back to the comforts of work…
And let the choir say .......

Boise State Fans
Yes, 99% of all BSU fans are in-fact nice people. Most of them are even reasonable too. Who knew? Unfortunately like ALL college football programs there are a few bad apples. Georgia Bulldogs included. Most BSU fans understand they have only been D1 for 15 years. They also understand the WAC and the MWC are generally weaker non-AQ conferences and as such keep BSU’s success over the past decade in proper perspective.
Now, when Georgia fans, or similar AQ elite, come over to the Boise State boards and start flaunting their haughty all-mighty BCS status (and SOS superiority) by means of condescension and/or condemnation; yes, possibly you may run across a few ill-tempered, ill-mannered fans. Do you really blame them? They only hear it a few thousand times prior to and after every game all season long. It get’s a little old and annoying after awhile. Hence the over-reactions!
The fact of the matter is the only place you consistently hear about Boise State’s success, out of proper context and in an arrogant manner, is in the media or by the insecure minority on message boards. So Mr. King, if you want to put an end to the alleged over-confidence and/or arrogance that bothers you so much, you can do 2 things:
1) Stop exaggerating the Boise State fans arrogance factor. Makes for good talking points when substance and value is absence, I guess; but it only fuels the fire that bothers you so much. Did I also mention its ridiculously redundant and “a bit much to take?”
2) Convince Georgia to beat Boise State on September 3rd. Maybe the small percentage of their fans that annoy you will actually shut-up for awhile. But then again, you will probably have a, “I told you so” article to author afterwards, won’t you?
Where, exactly, have you seen Kyle exaggerating the Boise State fan base's "arrogance factor?"
In fact, Kyle and virtually every other DawgSports regular has gone out of our way to comment on how reasonable and civil all Boise State fans not named “Darth Prophet” have been in virtually all our dealings with each other. That’s been the case both at this site and at OBNUG, for that matter, and although I admit that I do not visit every story OBNUG publishes, I have yet to find an instance of a DawgSports regular (and certainly not Kyle) acting in anything but a relatively respectful manner.
Not only that, but if you were to follow the links Kyle referenced in his Boise State remarks above, you would see that the “inevitable coronation” that he refers to is hype that has been instigated primarily by the media, not by Boise State fans themselves.
Opposing viewpoints are welcomed around this neighborhood, but you really should do a better job of understanding the issue about which you’re commenting, especially when you’re calling the Mayor to task.

I'm sorry you took it that way, Randall, but, honestly, I don't know what you mean.
Like vineyarddawg, I don’t get where you got that impression from the foregoing article, and I have been unfailingly polite and respectful to Boise State, and to the Broncos’ fans, in the blogosphere since before the 2005 meeting between the two teams. I honestly can’t think of a single instance in which I “exaggerat[ed] the Boise State fans arrogance factor,” or, for that matter, even accused Boise State fans of merely ordinary arrogance.
As for having an “‘I told you so’ article to author afterwards,” I would respectfully recommend that you take some time to search through the site archives here. I believe you will find that I am defiant in defeat yet magnanimous in victory. Besides, what basis would I have for telling Boise State fans “I told you so”? I haven’t predicted a Georgia victory, so I haven’t told anyone so. In any case, if it bothers you so much when other people (supposedly) attribute arrogance to Boise State fans, perhaps you should show others the simple courtesy of not (erroneously) attributing arrogance to us. Do unto others, and all that.
In that spirit, I thank you for joining in the conversation, I hope you will continue to participate, and I wish the Broncos good luck in every game next year except one.
Go 'Dawgs!
Dear Kyle
Perhaps some language that automatically appears when one registers to participate in the conversation here and alerts new participants to please search the archives before telling you what you’ve said or how you’ve disparaged their team or it’s fans would cut down on these sorts of comments? Either that, or you could just write up a generic response for these moments and just copy & paste as needed. For that matter, maybe I’ll write up a generic response for these moments & copy/paste as needed. Something along the lines of – the folks at Dawg Sports display true southern hospitality; are polite to rival fans unless the rival fan is rude; defiant in defeat and magnanimous in victory; and won’t personally attack you, please extend us the same courtesy. Should you choose to be rude, obnoxious or personally attack any one of us in any way, we will show you the door and tell you not to let it hit your hindquarters on your way through it.
I can bake like a demon.
it's been so long,
i don’t recall what it says. I’m sure there was something about behaving one’s self. Maybe the problem is that reading is fundamental and some folks just don’t.
I can bake like a demon.
Oooooops! I must have exaggerated my claims of your exaggeration
Lets examine:
“Granted, they have reason for confidence, but they don’t have that much reason for confidence.” Sorry, no such over-confidence exists within most (99%) of Bronco Nation.
“…but the sense of this game as an inevitable coronation—-a sense that was very much present prior to (but not after) the 2005 meeting between these two teams, as well, by the way—-is getting to be a bit much to take.” Sorry, no such over-confidence (inevitable coronation reference) exists within most (99%) of Bronco Nation. And, “getting a bit much to take.” Wow, really? Dang those pesky little Bronco faithful; wannabees!
“If the game is over and the Broncos have won, this will be fair game, but, until then, it’s a little over the top. " Just what exactly is over the top? Oh, that’s right, that all so southern hospitality read between the lines claim of over-confidence (arrogance) of Bronco Nation.
“…you don’t hear us predicting a victory in Jacksonville, even though the Classic City Canines lead the all-time series with the Sunshine State Saurians. Likewise, a little less chest-thumping in the land of the blue turf would seem wise until that particular worm has turned.” Again, sorry, no such over-confidence or flamboyant “chest thumping” exists within most (99%) of Bronco Nation.
Yes, it is clear: I over-reacted. My apologies! Look, here are the FACTS. 99% of Bronco Nation has nothing but DEEP respect toward the Georgia Bulldogs and your program. Most expect the game to be a barn-burner, hard fought ,and probably down to the wire in the 4th quarter. Are they confident? Yes, but that’s probably just a natural byproduct of a program that is the winningest football program in the NCAA the past decade (regardless of SOS or conference affiliation).
In spending a lot of time on various Bulldog sites and message boards the past couple of months, I’ve noticed your fan base is very confident and optimistic as well. I call it natural and healthy for both programs. You call it “a bit much to take”… “over the top”… and “chest thumping.” Semantics I guess!

Wondering
First, did you click the link to read what “this” in the “this will be fair game” actually referred to? Just to save you the trouble the link is to a post by a very specific Boise fan doing his best impression of a horse’s backside.
Second, did you read the rest of the post to actually understand the context? The point was to provide arguments for and against, which Kyle did. Furthermore, I took the entire post with the good-nature sense of humor I’m pretty sure Kyle intended.
Finally, you seem to misunderstand some of Kyle’s statements – “they have reason for confidence, but they don’t have that much reason for confidence” merely means the reasons for confidence are limited, not that they are over confident. Other statements might suggest Boise fans are over confident, but not that one.
I get it, something about this post rubbed you the wrong way, fine. The SEC claims the title of toughest conference in college football, which many folks who get paid to assess these things agree with. Do we sometimes remind other fanbases of this fact? Sure we do. But facts are facts – it is tougher to go undefeated as a member school of the SEC than as a member school of the WAC, MWC etc. These things are relative, that’s why SoS is a component (however slight) of the rankings, to provide a more level path to the MNC for all schools.
Kyle very specifically said most Boise fans are reasonable, civilized & good people. You aren’t exactly confirming that statement at the moment. If your point was to come to “our house” and help us rethink our position (the one that says most Boise fans are reasonable, civilized etc),well then between you & Darth whoever, you’re off to a great start. Thanks so much for your assistance, and please, have a wonderful day.
I can bake like a demon.
Wondering back...
Why gee podunkdawg, whatever do you mean? You’re not attacking my intellectual capacities are you? What ever happened to civility? How un-southernly hospitalityish of you. For the record, yes, I did in-fact follow the links. And yes, I do understand context. Unfortunately for you they both substantiate my original post. However, since facts and direct quotes are not persuasive enough for you, maybe we better move on to a less trying subject matter.
“,,, they have reasons for confidence, but they don’t have that much reason for confidence… merely means the reasons for confidence are limited, not that they are over confident.”
Alrighty then! Sober is overrated. Where’s the scotch? Let me make sure I understand this correctly: confident, but not too confident. And as long as we are limited in our confidence (according to the Geogia faithful), then we won’t be over-confident. Did I get that right? Got it, thanks. I shall pass this along to Bronco Nation. They are continually striving for improvement and I am most confident they will consider changing their ways. Myself included!
“the SEC claims the title of toughest conference in college football…”
Oh no, not the SEC elitism SOS argument again! Really? I didn’t say something to, well, “rub you the wrong way,” did I? You say that it’s tougher to go undefeated in the SEC than it is in the WAC or MWC… and that it’s all “relative.” Yes, you are absolutely correct; it is all very relative. Contrary to your assertions, however, here’s what “relative” actually means in this context: SEC teams have 4 times the budget, facilities, entitlements, resources, recruiting, and DEPTH than most WAC or MWC teams… therefore Georgia should be able to compete more successfully within their own conference. Especially against the far less privileged, not so almighty.
The DEPTH variable advantage stands out the most to me. You SEC faithful are continuously beating the drum of superior athletes and greater depth. Fine, then you should also be able to compete more successfully in the SEC. And if it’s all truly relative as you claim, then your run through the SEC should not be anymore difficult for you than it is for Boise State to run through the meager old WAC or MWC. Now that’s relative friend.
Furthermore, if you are going to use the SOS argument to validate your Georgia support… or to preach confidence decorum… may I suggest you at the very least put together a reasonably good season first? There’s just something about a 6-7 record that doesn’t carry too much credibility. How about 8-4 or 9-3? Furthermore, losing to teams like Louisiana-Lafayette and Colorado just doesn’t quite do it for me. And scheduling D2 teams like Idaho State… yeah, well, need I really say more? You get the idea I am sure.
You, sir, need to check both your facts and your attitude.
We had a terrible season last year, but we didn’t lose to Louisiana-Lafayette. Yes, Georgia has a substantially larger budget than Boise State, but so do the conference opponents the Bulldogs play. Idaho State isn’t a Division II school, it’s a Division I-AA school.
Nothing I have written about Boise State, dating back six years, has been anything other than cordial and respectful. If you wish to correct what you perceive as my misperception about BSU fans’ confidence level, you might want to try not being haughty and condescending. Your approach undermines, rather than underscores, your argument.
When you signed up for an account at this weblog, you agreed to certain terms, the gist of which was that you would behave in a civil and responsible manner. If you do that, you’re welcome here. If you don’t, you can take it someplace else. We have standards here, sir; meet them or get lost. Consider this a formal warning.
Go 'Dawgs!
Yes, Louisiana-Lafayette should have been in my Idaho State analogy (column) and the mighty Charleston Southern Buccaneers should have been referenced with Colorado. My bad. However, you get the idea I am sure.
And, I have no doubt Georgia will soon reclaim its prominence at the Top of the SEC. We Boise State fans would love a game on September 3rd, so if they could start with this year it would be greatly appreciated. In the meantime, touting SEC supremacy and the SOS argument (under the context of this thread) seems a little deficient. IMO.
And, if you really want to split hairs and reach for such greater referential precision, the actual moniker for I-AA schools was officially changed in 2006 to FCS. I-A was changed to FBS. I-A and I-AA references are formally outdated.
‘Warning’ humbly acknowledged
Thanks.
Point conceded on the “I-AA”/“FCS” thing. It’s one of those things like Prince changing his name to an unpronounceable symbol; I realize the change officially happened, I just choose not to acknowledge it because it’s so eye-rollingly silly.
I’m hoping for a good game on September 3, as well. We’ll see y’all there.
Go 'Dawgs!
After all of the vitriol
I must say, that I’m a bit offended. I cannot believe that ya’ll hate Auburn as much as us. I didn’t see a week of posts dedicated to how UGA could beat Auburn last year….
