Happy Turkey Day, everyone!

Now, onto the hate.

“We may not make a university student out of him, but if we can teach him to read and write, maybe he can work at the post office rather than as a garbage man when he gets through with his athletic career.” — UGA defense attorney Hale Almand

Yes, remember folks, being functionally illiterate is A-OK as long as you can play football for the University of Georgia (where, last I checked, remedial classes count towards credit).

It takes absolutely no courage or conviction to be a [UGA] fan. All it takes is $10 and a trip to Wal-Mart. — “GTDad”, on StingTalk

This is from a message board post from last year, but I think it still applies.

Also, finally, remember UGA fans hate America:

Well, a little late. I have a little video for you all, though.

I can hardly think of a more important quarter in my football watching experience. We were down 16 and we just went out there and everything went right. Others have written about the game and that quarter at greather length.

Continuing last year’s grand tradition, it’s To Hell with Georgia Week here at asimsports.

Tomorrow, we start a series of posts relating to the game and our hated rival. For now, though, we rest and travel.

Men, Georgie’s a fine football team, a very fine football team. Georgie’s bigger and faster than we are. Probably a little tougher, too.

That’s okay, because we’re smarter than they are.

Now, let me tell you what’s going to happen. That Georgie team’s going to come running out of the tunnel screaming and foaming at the mouth and smashing one another upside the head just to get warmed up.

We won’t do any of that. While they waste their energy, we’ll conserve ours. I’ve told you that they’re bigger, faster, and tougher than you. That’s true. But we do have that one big advantage.

We … are … smarter.

Think about what I teach you. Play field position. Play great defense. Make no mistakes on offense. Be great in the kicking game. Do that and we’ll keep it close.

As the game goes on, they’ll start to get tired because they wasted so much energy in the beginning. Because we’re smart, we’ll have plenty of energy left, and at some point in the fourth quarter they’ll make a mistake.

When they do make that mistake, we’ll get the football. And when that happens, I’ll think of something and we’ll win!
