Would you rather...

  • ...see UGA beat Boise St to continue SEC dominance across the country and make our win over them look that much better, or see them lose to Boise St so we can laugh at them and watch Athens completely fall apart?

    p.s. I'm bored at work and wanted something to talk about.

  • As much as it may hurt the external perception of our conference, it would be better for us for them to lose to both Boise St. and USC.

    This 0-2 start would probably cause a lot of backlash from UGA fans and spell the beginning of the end for Richt. This in turn would likely help us with recruits for next year.

    The only downside is that they would probably hire a very good coach to replace Richt, but Richt hasn't exactly been a bad coach himself.

  • I would rather them beat Boise St. so our conference looks good.

    Then get the living sh!& kicked out of them by us at their home. Having Lattimore makes his Heisman campaign with 200+ rushing yards, Alshon get his Heisman campaign with 100+ receiving 3 TD's and Garcia start his Heisman run with 400+ yards and 5 TD's 0 Int's. Then have our surprise third and fourth weapon emerge (Ellington, Byrd, or Deangelo Smith)

  • Id like to see them beat Boise in their first game then we come down and demolish them to the point that there is presser held immediately after our game to announce the firing of Richt. That's what I wanna see. It continues the dominance of the SEC on a national scale and it will make our win that much better over Georgia. Not to mention I'm tired of the all the talk about how great those smurfs are. A loss to Georgia in the first game and we wont have to listen to how Boise should be playing the big boys for the championship at the end of the year. Go Gamecocks!!!

  • Best case scenario is they beat Boise convincingly and then we beat them. I almost never pull against a SEC school when playing a non-conference team. Rising tide raises all ships. We want to be inarguably the best team in inarguably the best conference.

  • I prefer that they lose to Boise, so their confidence level is low.

  • I will be pulling for the Dawgs that day! I pull for them against just about everyone except Vandy and UK.

  • Would like to see GA beat Boise st because

    1. I am so tired of the Boise st story

    2. I always pull for SEC over other Conferences

    3. I don't want GA to be desperate when they play us, which they will be if they start 0-1

  • I will be pulling for them to get killed. After years of sitting in Athens and dealing with their fans, there may not be a fan base more obnoxious and less deserving of success in the country. (excluding Clemson of course)

    Could care less about the conference thing and in fact it does us no good for teams in our conference that we compete against for recruits to have great years. Much easier to pluck recruits when teams like UGA, UT, and UF are down somewhat.

    vasago

  • I would like to see uga go 0-12 this year every game they lose helps our local recruiting

    ohrealyusc

  • See, I just keep going back and forth. All in all, I would probably rather them beat Boise, then lose to us. Maybe it doesn't matter, becuase it's gonna be Lattimore vs. UGA volume 2 on 9/10/11, but just couldn't decide what would make me happier.

    I want them to blow out boise so all the national media be riding high on Georgia the week leading up to our game so we can embarrass them in Athens....

    THIS x 100000000000000. Living in Georgia with these dumb as censored fans makes me hate them AS MUCH as Clemson.

    Yes. I said that. I hate them AS MUCH as Clemson. I wish them to lose every game they play. The worse they are the happier i am.

  • I want them to beat the **** out of Boise St. Let them come in flying high and then get embarassed in front of their home crowd.

    If they put up a poor showing against us everything else will work itself out on the recruiting front, Richt's job security, etc.

    Beating a poor Georgia team doesnt help us. The way I see it right now were a better ballclub and that will be blatantly obvious after September 10th.

    We need the division to be strong outside of our conference because it will strengthen the national media's perception about our strength of schedule and lead to better rankings, opportunities in the postseason etc.

  • I agree with vasago & ohreally.

    I agree. I want our win to mean something nationally.

  • UGA. I can't stand the Boise State hype and I'd love to be able to turn on my TV this season without hearing a word about them.

    Plus, I think UGA is extremely overrated and will lose at least 4 this year even if they beat Boise.

    Kas0988

  • Any SC fan that would pull for GA would pull for clemson. The more Ga struggles, the better off my gamecocks will be. Personally I would like to see Ga & clemson go through two years like we did in 1998 & 1999.

    Shagginrooster

  • I hope they wax Boise St and end this non-BCS conference love fest. Show that the SEC is the truth, even if some still don't believe it.

    There is nothing UGA can do to beat us, so it won't matter if they lose or win against Boise.

  • Let's see the Boise St. for National Champion Game ended very early this year.
    Let Ga. stomp them into the ground bad. SEC is the dominate conference right? Of course it is.
    Let Ga. beat them real bad, then come into our game very over-confident and get their butts waxed.
    The better a team looks before we beat them, the better it looks when we take them down.
    We are a dark-horse National Title Contender, so let's show them that we are the real thing this year and follow in the tracks of our National Champion Baseball Team! Bring it on!

    Is this the Cooter Preference Test?

  • I typically pull for the SEC in OOC games, but dont want them getting confident coming into our game.

    I thought our game was huge for us going in and after last year. IMO it's just as critical this year.

    Plus the more they lose, the more likely Richt gets canned which could deliver...
