Can new rivalries be made

[u/KosmoKanyon]

Georgia and Alabama have had some crazy games over the past 20 years or so. We've had some of the craziest games. They had our fucking number but we're finally turning the tide on them(no pun intended lol) We won our first national championship in 40 years against a team that shut our shit down time and time again.

Yet people keep telling me this is not a true rivalry. But it's the team and game I look forward to the most now fuck florida. So I want other people's opinion, is this not the biggest rivalry in the SEC at this point or what

[u/Cabenfever]

Bama is a nemesis but not a rival

[u/NomenklaturaFTW → u/Cabenfever]

I like this line of thinking

[u/naggs69pt2 → u/Cabenfever]

yup, I view UGA kinda the same way I viewed clemson ten years ago, or LSU. in no way do I hate them as much as tennessee or auburn. 

[u/d0ngl0rd69 → u/naggs69pt2]

Bama fans 🤝 UGA fans
Auburn sucks

[u/KosmoKanyon → u/d0ngl0rd69]

That's it lol

[u/naggs69pt2 → u/d0ngl0rd69]

the enemy of my enemy is my friend 🤝 

[u/General_Komodo → u/naggs69pt2]

Your pfp and flair are giving me mixed feelings...

[u/naggs69pt2 → u/General_Komodo]

same, enemies today. best friends tomorrow.

[u/Bigbadbrindledog → u/Cabenfever]

I think that's perfect, rivalries based on both being really good at the same time don't really stand up. Look at Alabama/ Clemson.

[u/KosmoKanyon → u/Bigbadbrindledog]

That is a good point

[u/Cabenfever → u/KosmoKanyon]

Thanks! no disrespect to your question (legit ask), but as a legacy double dawg--gotta factor in history/tradition as well, and we've got PLENTY of that. Go dawgs!

[u/Icy_Adeptness5034 → u/Cabenfever]

It’s a Cold War esque rivalry.

[u/OttoVonWong → u/Cabenfever]

The kid you always bark at just because.

[u/SoutieNaaier]

Florida and LSU werent really rivals till the 2000s but it got as toxic as any other rivalry we have

Especially the hurricane game

[u/jdinkalage_moorgoone → u/SoutieNaaier]

I’d consider the 2007 game where the lsu students got tebows number and the 5 4th down conversions on that last drive to be the real tipping point where everyone on both sides decided “I fucking hate those guys”

[u/SoutieNaaier → u/jdinkalage_moorgoone]

True, and then hurricane game brought up a lot of collective trauma in both states which put it over the top

[u/jdinkalage_moorgoone → u/SoutieNaaier]

Yeah at that point the pettiness had reached administrative levels lol.

[u/hwy41_ → u/SoutieNaaier]

The 2020 Shoe Game in the fog will always be my lasting memory of Florida/LSU

[u/BraveDawgs1993 → u/SoutieNaaier]

Same with Georgia and Tennessee before the division split in 1992.

[u/AccountantOptimal674]

No, I think the Alabama Georgia match up has become a competitive match up because it usually has national championships implications. Georgia and Alabama don’t usually play in the regular season, that’s been a more recent development. They went many years without playing at all. A lot of people talked about how Georgia hadnt beat Bama in Bryant-Denny since 2007 but they had only played twice there since then. In that same time, they have played in the SEC championship 5 times.

So it’s more akin to how Alabama and Florida were back in the 90s and 2000s. They mostly only played in the SEC championship so it became more of a battle for who is the best, not a true rivalry.

[u/Dialectic_Emptiness]

Yeah me vs ESPN

[u/treyhest → u/Dialectic_Emptiness]

The mute button vs Gus Johnson

[u/Mindless_Luck7553]

The coveted Civil Conflict is only 10 years old. Always believe

[u/TolkienFan71]

Yeah new rivalries can be made, they’ve got to come from somewhere. It just won’t be a traditional rivalry like the ones that have existed for generations

[u/Wildcats_and_Bourbon]

GIVE ME INDIANA BACK FIRST

[u/excitato → u/Wildcats_and_Bourbon]

Kentucky’s a good example of the fluidity of it I think. We have always had and will always have Tennessee, but the Louisville rivalry only started in the 90’s.

Indiana we have more history with in basketball with 57 games, but in football we only have 36 games and none in 20+ years. We might have more of a nasty football rivalry between coaches/players/fans online with USCjr than IU these days.

[u/Wildcats_and_Bourbon → u/excitato]

Once hated always hated in my book

[u/Summoorevincent → u/excitato]

I really hate SCAR.

[u/CoincidenceTheorist2]

New rivalries can be made (ND-Miami) but they can't replace the old ones. 

[u/KosmoKanyon → u/CoincidenceTheorist2]

Oh yeah, I still hate them all lol but this team is the one that sticks with me

[u/Surfjohn]

Our number one rival became Oklahoma last year

[u/emc23369187 → u/Surfjohn]

Who is that?

[u/randomthrowaway9796 → u/Surfjohn]

Such a lopsided rivalry. Oklahoma has had multiple one possession games in the rivalry, but has never been able to win one of these matchups!

[u/hotsauce126]

No. We have three rivals and it doesn’t change

[u/Jobysco → u/hotsauce126]

UGA/Bama is a “rivalry” based on the competitive matchup but it’s not fueled by hate. Which, to me, is a huge defining factor in a true rivalry.

[u/frustratedinquisitor → u/Jobysco]

Speak for yourself dude I absolutely fuckin hate yall

[u/naetaejabroni → u/frustratedinquisitor]

I will hate Georgia when Kirby retires in 30 years. I like him too much to hate y'all.

[u/IHATEORANG3 → u/frustratedinquisitor]

I hate them the same way I hate Texas not like how I hate Georgia tech

[u/Jobysco → u/frustratedinquisitor]

Lol the only reason I would hate Georgia was my 5 years living with yall in ATL. Otherwise yall have always just been a game I look forward to.

[u/ShishkabobNinja → u/Jobysco]

Can confirm, living in Atlanta did also make me hate the dawgs. Totally nothing to do with what I was doing in Atlanta or anything

[u/Dr_Lizardo11 → u/ShishkabobNinja]

You are a mortal enemy

[u/retailhusk → u/frustratedinquisitor]

If Alabama invaded hell I would make at least a favourable reference to the devil in the House of Athens

[u/EmpoleonNorton → u/Jobysco]

I mostly respect Bama and dont feel any real hatred for yall. Plus yall hate Auburn and Tennessee and that is always a plus.

[u/Jobysco → u/EmpoleonNorton]

Fuck both of em

[u/KosmoKanyon → u/Jobysco]

Yeah I see it I don't hate y'all respect the fuck out of actually

[u/AndrewMcIlroy → u/hotsauce126]

Clemson was a and is to many a rivalry. It was lost with many previous conference and schedule changes.

[u/EmpoleonNorton → u/hotsauce126]

Also, even if you were to consider another rival, tennessee is closer than Bama. Rivalry isnt just about 'oh these teams have has a lot of big games' it's about hating each other.

[u/KosmoKanyon → u/EmpoleonNorton]

I guess that's it really. I've never hated Alabama I actually respect them the most.

[u/CDawg___ → u/hotsauce126]

we have more than 3 tbf

[u/idnttcrisis → u/hotsauce126]

I would say we have 4 rivals: Florida, Georgia Tech, Auburn, and Tennessee.

[u/KosmoKanyon → u/hotsauce126]

Florida Auburn and Tech?

[u/Artvandelay29 → u/KosmoKanyon]

Clarke County PD?

[u/ImmNottCurious → u/Artvandelay29]

Can't be rivals if the score is so lopsided

[u/Artvandelay29 → u/ImmNottCurious]

Very true

[u/randomthrowaway9796 → u/KosmoKanyon]

Yes. You could also make arguments for Tennessee, Clemson, and South Carolina being rivals, but theyre all significantly weaker arguments than the main 3. Then Bama and Texas are the modern epic SEC matchups, but not rivals with Georgia.

[u/AndrewMcIlroy → u/randomthrowaway9796]

Yea South Carolina considers us a big rival. Clemson was huge but was lost. I'd really say Tennessee isnt one.

For me Clemson and USC make the cut.

[u/randomthrowaway9796 → u/AndrewMcIlroy]

The issue with South Carolina is that they really dont have a lot of history with most SEC teams, so you throw in geography and a few big upsets over the years, and thats how a rivalry is born.

Clemson 100% is a lost rivalry. The fact that we didnt once play them during their late 2010s peak is asinine. And now with the 9 conference game schedule, 4 games with them have been canceled, and idk when we'll encounter them next. Very unfortunate, they are literally the closest P4 school to Athens.

Tennessee feels like a rivalry. That game last year was one of my favorites from college. They've been a big team that we've played a ton through the SEC east days. Im a younger fan, so maybe I'm just not aware of the lack of history with them.

[u/HBTFD1785 → u/randomthrowaway9796]

SC makes up for it with 11 years of Hatin' Ass Spurrier as their coach.

As a Braves fan, SC reminds me of the Washington Nationals. Despite being in the same division as us, I didn't ever truly hate them. I just indirectly hated them through my hate for Harper/Spurrier. After those people were gone, I was cool with them again.

[u/dfsmitty0711 → u/KosmoKanyon]

Wasn't Clemson considered a rival back in the day?

[u/Schmenza → u/dfsmitty0711]

Clemson Georgia should be a yearly thing with how close they are

[u/thor_1225 → u/Schmenza]

And all the natty battles in the 80s and all close

[u/redneckswearorange → u/dfsmitty0711]

Prior to going to divisions in 1992 Clemson and UGA played a ton due to the proximity. Outside of Ga Tech, they are our closest p4 school and there’s a book about the history of the rivalry called “fighting like cats and dogs.”

At 1992, we had played Clemson more than we had played

Tennessee
South Carolina
Ole Miss
Miss State
LSU

[u/Dr_Lizardo11 → u/dfsmitty0711]

Clemson was a big rival back when I was there (early 80s)

[u/Late-Application-47 → u/dfsmitty0711]

It wasn't even that long ago that UGA v Clemson was a fairly frequent early season game; I recall it being played several times during the Richt era.

Historically, Clemson and Auburn are rivals of both UGA and Tech. Should we combine our hate against them...🤔

Sorry for even entertaining that blasphemy. It is tradition that we take a yearly rivalry-week beating out of pure spite with a side of self-masochism, celebrating our once-per decade victory (the two victories from the 2010s will cover us for this pathetic decade). 😂

On our side, I'd like to see one of our historic SEC rivalries renewed. To me, Vanderbilt is the obvious choice; the location is good fit, the series has a trophy attached to it, and, unless things change for either program, it would be a consistently competitive game.

[u/RighteousBiscuit → u/KosmoKanyon]

A non-biased officiating crew?

[u/KosmoKanyon → u/RighteousBiscuit]

What would bama know about that lol

[u/RighteousBiscuit → u/KosmoKanyon]

Last week told me all I need to know about who Hoover loves now

[u/southernflatlander → u/RighteousBiscuit]

A full week later and you're still whining lmao

[u/RighteousBiscuit → u/southernflatlander]

A full week later and an admission from your own player and UGA still pretends they won a legitimate game last weekend

[u/lewishamiltonstan → u/hotsauce126]

That’s an old fashioned way of thinking

[u/Consistent_Detail_61 → u/hotsauce126]

Honestly I consider Tennessee a rivalry having played them every year for 30+ years

[u/smellslikebadussy]

Clearly you’ve forgotten about the ACC-declared, newly storied rivalry between UVA and Louisville

[u/HourFaithlessness823]

Of course, the Brewers and Cubs never played each other until 1997 or something like that. The Patriots were irrelevant and the major rivalries in the current AFC East were between Miami, Buffalo and NYJ until the last 25 years.

[u/happyharrell → u/HourFaithlessness823]

I’d honestly just say Miami and Buffalo

[u/ShishkabobNinja → u/happyharrell]

As a Miami (NFL) fan from birth, we care a lot more about the Jets. Which has been great cause they've sucked longer than we have :)

[u/HourFaithlessness823 → u/happyharrell]

The Miami-Jets rivalry was one of the best in sports but it's been on the back burner for decades (in terms of national interest) at this point. 

[u/Free-Eights]

Every rivalry has to start from somewhere. Most of the classic rivalries you think of usually involve a component of playing the other every season, key moments where one team spoiled the others' hopes and aspirations, and over the course of a few years have considerable winner take all type stakes (in a localized context).

I don't know if I'd call Georgia-Bama a rivalry by that standard but I think it's a high-stakes competitive game that's meaningful in the national landscape. The real test would be if that feeling holds when one or both schools is just mediocre

[u/Spare_Treacle_800]

New rivalries can absolutely be made, UNT played UTSA for the first time in 2013, and I'd consider them to be the #1 rival UNT has

[u/randomthrowaway9796]

If this series continues to be toxic and competitive once both programs are mid (or at least not at the top of the SEC) for a decade or 2, it could morph into more of a rivalry. As of now, its more like Ohio State - Oregon than a true rivalry. More of a "theyre the other top SEC team that we have the opportunity to beat" than a true rivalry.

[u/ffreb_1018]

No. Everybody has one true historic, traditional rival and two side rivalries. Ours is obviously OU, with LSU and MSU as side pieces

[u/PointBlankCoffee → u/ffreb_1018]

I get youre joking but we have 2 legit A tier rivalries

[u/Skeeter_BC → u/PointBlankCoffee]

You should be ashamed of yourself calling OU or aTm "A tier"

[u/PointBlankCoffee → u/Skeeter_BC]

They are two of the best rivalries in the sport

[u/tericket → u/ffreb_1018]

“The Rivalry” is more than just a game

[u/Quick-Difference3267 → u/ffreb_1018]

Why Michigan State?

[u/ChazzyTh → u/Quick-Difference3267]

Mississippi - maybe you’re trying humor?

[u/ZealousidealScheme85]

They can but bama and UGA isn’t one. If you look at lsu UF or LSU TAMU you get a pretty good example of rivalries developing naturally. Bama and UGA is important because it usually has playoff or natty implications but not because either side genuinely hates each other.

[u/PointBlankCoffee → u/ZealousidealScheme85]

TIL LSU are rivals with the aggies

[u/drakeallthethings]

New rivalries can absolutely happen, but not at Georgia. We have 3 teams we play yearly for over a century each. There’s just not room. Bama is a great game usually even with us being on the losing end of it more often than not. They’re just never going to be a rival.

[u/MichaelSquare]

Nebraska joined the B1G and seemed to get some good ones going.

[u/Trojann2]

The Dakota Marker rivalry was completely fabricated.

[u/UteFlyersCardJazz]

We may not be rivals, but Colorado was the rival the Pac-12 wanted us to have. But I hate USC and ASU way more than I hate Colorado.

But BYU is my hated rival, and USU is a rival. Think of it that BYU is Gary Oak, and USU is Barry from Platinum (the real Gen 4 Pokemon game).

[u/Gambit717 → u/UteFlyersCardJazz]

Utah vs USC was turning into something before the pac blew up. Maybe not a true rivalry but definitely a mutual disdain

[u/2-59project → u/UteFlyersCardJazz]

The holy war is near the top of my college football bucket list

[u/__Roof_Pizza_]

I fucking hate Alabama with a passion but that was ingrained in me at birth because my family is Auburn alums. They hate Georgia but didn’t hate my in state tuition they paid lol

To be clear - fuck auburn too

[u/FrenchieBammer]

Georgia is literally just the new version of LSU to Alabama. Just a competitive matchup. Also Georgia fans hate Alabama way more than Alabama fans hate Georgia.

[u/ChazzyTh → u/FrenchieBammer]

Ditto everybody

[u/elaVehT → u/FrenchieBammer]

Well yall have spoiled a lot more of our seasons than we have of yours. The number of times we’ve looked like a national championship team to be spoiled by our “bama problem” has certainly soured it

[u/ZealousidealScheme85 → u/elaVehT]

This is exactly the same situation with LSU lol

[u/KosmoKanyon → u/FrenchieBammer]

I'm not sure about that I hear a lot of shit talking on social media and in person when we play each other more than any other game.

[u/Crying_in_99Ranch → u/FrenchieBammer]

LSU and Bama have a lot of history as division rivals competing every year and with Saban going to Bama. Not quite the same

[u/Altruistic_Night2 → u/Crying_in_99Ranch]

Yeah we are closer to being a rivalry than the Georgia game. Us vs Georgia is just to highly ranked teams playing each other nothing more

[u/lostdragon05 → u/Crying_in_99Ranch]

It is to us. We don’t think about you guys nearly as much as you seem to think about Saban and Bama.

[u/cathny]

Too late, new rivalries are cringe. UConn tried that with UCF and everybody laughed at them

[u/huskyferretguy1 → u/cathny]

Bob Diaco UConn tried that with UCF and everybody laughed at him them (Even at UConn)

[u/Ok_Ruin4016 → u/cathny]

That was a manufactured rivalry, not something that developed organically

[u/cooterdick]

No, it is not the biggest rivalry in the SEC. Doesn’t even crack the top 10.

The closest comparison I can think of is Tennessee-Florida. We weren’t rivals, then started playing annually in the 90s and usually the game decided the SEC East. There was something on the line. Sure, Georgia and Bama played for a natty in 22 and Alabama made the 4 team CFP over Georgia in 23 by winning the SEC CG, but now, you’re just playing for seeding in a playoff and nothing more.

[u/jdinkalage_moorgoone]

Yeah. Fuck A&M

[u/BrilliantArm5914 → u/jdinkalage_moorgoone]

Texas fans agree

[u/ToLongDR]

Kings College PA and Ohio State have a rivalry that neither school knows about but one day, one day, I'll have to pick a side

[u/BatManatee]

There are different levels and flavors of rivalries, but I'd say yes.

For UCLA basketball, Arizona is a newish rivalry (like 30-40 years) and Gonzaga is quickly becoming a rival as well.

If you play enough big games against each other, with high stakes or emotions, naturally you start circling those games on your calendar.

[u/BlindPelican]

I think the really strong rivalries have to start outside the game. Like UM-OSU - the states fought a freaking war, or Saints/Falcons which piggybacks on the Atlanta/New Orleans city rivalry going back a century or more or a bigoted anti-Catholic fucking over a small private Catholic school.

[u/Crying_in_99Ranch]

Urban Meyer just said Ohio State and IU are rivals and I believe they will be for as long as Cignetti is there

[u/ShinyTotodile24]

Intend the pun you coward!

But yeah, new rivalries can form. Alabama LSU wasn't really much of anything until the last 20 years. Now they are easily at the top of our second tier rivals.

[u/LarryGoldwater]

Not in Arizona

[u/spmartin1993]

Yes. Rivalries are made on matchups that build over time. I know it’s totally different, but I built a rivalry in high school and college that didn’t exist before in the alternative sport I played. You play good games against the same team year after year, the rivalry builds

[u/redneckswearorange]

It was one until the Saturday Evening Post scandal

[u/Scuterius_Floridae]

They can, but there needs to be proximity, high stakes games, or a mixture of both. 

If fsu went to the sec, it would be rather easy to build up rivalries with programs like Auburn, LSU, Bama, and UGA because of our location, where I alumni rub elbows with their alums, and the ability to play in high stakes games. 

But if we went into the big 10, it either would take longer or wouldn’t happen because of the geographic distance 

[u/icemankiller8]

I think new rivals will become more common with the conferences changing, Oregon or Indiana might become a rival for some big 10 teams now they are a contender.

[u/EdotSavage]

Indiana v Ohio St is starting to turn into a proper rivalry. 2 years ago, IUs only regular season loss was @ OSU. OSU went on to win the natty. Last year OSU's first loss was in the B1G championship game to IU. IU went on to win the natty. They're playing a scrappy game right now both in the top 5.

Of both teams are consistently high level and play regularly, a rivalry will form. It's natural.

[u/lurkinandturkin]

Yes. All traditions are inventions.

[u/TxOkLaVaCaTxMo]

You are rivals until felonies become an acceptable practice

[u/jnkenne]

Nebraska has had three in my lifetime. Oklahoma, Colorado, and Iowa.

[u/happyharrell]

I think a lot of us Mizzou fans really hate Tennessee. It’s more about how they have arguably the shittiest group of fans in the conference, but before expansion, there were some good games between the two schools as well.

[u/FlyfishingThomas]

Costal Carolina is becoming a rival because I cannot stand them and how they act,

[u/FreshlySkweezd]

It’s not, and with the way scheduling (currently) works in the SEC it won’t be. 

[u/spartanx505]

Every matchup is a potential rivalry in the making

[u/KGLW_Magma]

New rivalries can be made, but they aren't born overnight or even over a couple of decades. I do look forward to Georgia vs. Alabama games with a sense of dread and excitement, so it feels like a rivalry, but it's going to be harder to establish them no playing every year. These conference expansions have really dampened the possibility of new rivalries emerging IMO

[u/RockitDanger]

I think a good rivalry should come from the students shit talking the better school itself, not just the football program. The football should be more of an "and" than anything else to have a whole school rivalry. "Our school creates 6 figure graduates AND we run the ball down your throats every time we meet".

I think a fun idea would be a random rivalry. Like at the beginning of the year there's a shuffle and your annual rival is chosen. So you get an historical rivalry game and an extra hate game.

[u/dbelcher17]

I want to beat UGA when they're on the schedule, and I want them to lose to the extent it will help Bama in the rankings or standings. This is how I feel about LSU, Texas, Ohio State, etc. 

I want Auburn and Tennessee to fail miserably at everything they attempt to do. 

[u/Kodyaufan2]

I think you can make new short-term rivals, but not rivals that last for generations.

Alabama-Georgia is now what Alabama-LSU was for the last decade plus. It’s a rivalry in that those are the two best teams in the conference more often than not, so you know you’ve gotta go through them to accomplish your goals for the season. But it’s not the kinda game where if both teams finish 7-5 you’d go “well at least we beat Alabama.”

You look forward to the game right now because that’s the team you’ve gotta beat to win the SEC. Not because of rivalry hatred. There’s a difference.

[u/Sunday_Schoolz]

Absolutely. I consider Boise State a rival of Oregon since that 2009 game. And Texas is a new rival of Georgia as they have tried to attain the heights of the SEC since joining.

[u/Fun_Wear2891]

I have grown to hate the big12/Yormark. So yes

[u/emc23369187]

Texas Tech and Penn State became intense really fast I thought.

[u/AliceOtsuFan]

Yes, college football fans are sometimes stingy about what is and isn’t a rivalry. Just because it’s not a traditional rivalry doesn’t mean it doesn’t have its merits. All rivalries had to start from somewhere. A general rule of thumb is that if the fans of two teams have to insist to neutrals/casuals that they don’t have a rivalry; then 9/10 times they do have a rivalry. Also the average age of a member of this sub tends to skew older and as someone from Georgia, Bama is among the top 3 hated teams from the Gen Z/Alpha age of UGA fans. Also fans should acknowledge that two teams can be rivals without being their A-tier rivalry. For example, Georgia has 3 A tier rivals in Tech, Florida, and Auburn; Similarly South Carolina has one in Clemson. However I consider Georgia and South Carolina rivals too, just not either’s A tier rivals.

[u/KosmoKanyon]

I slick root for bama when we're not playing each other so that's it. I kinda get why it's not a true rivalry.

[u/New-Disaster-2061]

Rivalries are built on hate. Not just oh I hate those guys but a deep rooted generational hate that is deep seeded in the bones and soul. A feeling of something is wrong when you see certain colors. A feeling desperation when seeing a child in rival gear on how you can save him from a life time of being them. There is still time for them to see the light. I was told if I went to Texas A&M I would not be disowned fully but I would have to watch the game through the window. Alabama Georgia is just a game.

[u/TheBigMcD]

Oregon-UW is a Twitter rivalry. Never knew how many issues duck fans had until they start harassing every husky on twitter.

[u/KCCO1987]

Penn State has been in the B1G, South Carolina and Arkansas in the SEC, and FSU in the ACC since the early 90s. Penn State is "unrivaled" and the other three don't have any new rivalries they didn't already have. Nebraska has a contrived rivalry with Iowa.

In short, no. If your school is old your rivalries are old. You can't make new ones. Even if you do, it's based on periods of sustained success on both sides. Not genuine hate. You can have a competitive rivalry with anyone, but you can't have a wake up and hope the school craters in rivalry with anyone.

[u/glassclouds1894 → u/KCCO1987]

I would argue FSU and Clemson consider each other newer rivals, but it's not an intense, hate filled rivalry. The other two, correct.

[u/E-Wildin]

It's definitely a rivalry from Georgia's perspective. Georgia is like that kid who has no originality about him. That kid in school who copied all the cool kids and took credit for other people's work. There's no real tradition between the teams. It only became a popular game because Kirby used to coach at Alabama, and when he left he decided to try and carbon copy what he learned from Saban.

They're called "Alabama Light" for a reason lol. Georgia is a pretty decent, respectable program. But that G on their helmets literally stands for "Generic" lol.

[u/PichardRetty → u/E-Wildin]

How tough did you feel after typing this?

[u/teshh → u/PichardRetty]

Bro is mad salty Bama is trash now.

[u/Will_McLean → u/E-Wildin]

Oh fuck off

We have four natties, second most SEC championships and are top ten overall in wins in cfb history.

This superiority and entitlement is why people don’t like your program and fans

[u/exhausted-caprid → u/E-Wildin]

And yet Saban’s successor was not nearly as successful at copying him. Funny how that happens.

[u/Callsign_Psycopath]

I mean sure, but they have to come up organically not be some manufactured BS.

Like we can't just say have UMass and Sac State be Rivals.

[u/yeezusosa]

Yes

[u/BraveDawgs1993]

The only reason why Georgia and Alabama aren't "rivals" is because of the lack of games played better 1960 and 2017. With how much the fanbases cross over, if the two teams played annually, it would be one of the most notable rivalries in the country. With the new SEC schedule rules, we'll probably see both schools unanimously consider each other to be rivals
