    As Bama fans we respect the heck out of Georgia. This is not hatred like Auburn or LSU. Ton of respect for Kirby Smart. Roll Tide!

      I would hope it’s mostly the same going the other way. I’m a UGA fan and I know a lot of us will say we hate Bama, but it’s different than our other rivals. With Florida and Auburn I’ll unconditionally root against them unless them winning would help the Dawgs. With Bama, I just have so much respect for Saban that I can’t hate him or Bama. It definitely hurts that y’all have been the primary obstacle between UGA and a Natty, but it’s more respect and jealousy than pure hate. Best of luck tomorrow, should be a killer game.

    These aren't the same two teams who played each other in Atlanta 5 weeks ago. Bama's endured too many injuries in the meantime, and UGA is more focused and motivated this time around. All UGA has to do is play with more intensity and not repeat the same mistakes of the SEC Championship game and they'll win because- God, I can't believe I'm saying this -they're actually the better team. They've been the better team all year. God, you have no idea how much it pains me to have to say this....
    We just have too many young guys being asked to step up and fill roles they're probably not ready to fill just yet for the biggest challenge we'll face all year.

      If you're insinuating that's why Coach Saban is still at Bama you're sorely mistaken if you don't think other universities offered him the same if not more. He fully bought into the traditions, the passion and the potential to be the greatest there ever was with a historic and storied program. If it was just salary he wouldn't have been in Tuscaloosa for 15 years and most likely till he retires or dies on the sideline. Most likely the same for Coach Smart if allowed he will probably never leave Georgia.
