Can confirm (n=2). Kids got Covid at camp and we drove home with windows down, masks on, and two air purifiers and still got it. Second time one of them got Covid (+ the day before he was supposed to get vaxxed) my husband and I had just gotten vaxxed 2 weeks before. Neither one of us got it.

And thankfully the Alabama Constitution has an amendment to give Nancy back the 75 cents she lost to the Etowah County courthouse vending machine in 1982.

Hard to not feel like the DCCC has some things to answer for here.

Maybe we’ll see more of it now that the SEC is starting to be discussed outside of athletics? I graduated from UGA in 2003 and took a religion class with a girl named Chastity who decided to lecture the professor on how the KKK wasn’t started as a hate group, but a fraternity.

It's not fair to punish teams for losing. It's not fair to reward teams for winning. The only fair thing is to declare my favourite team the national champs

WTF we blow them out and the headline doesn’t mention us?!?

I literally just completed my 20th watch of the amazing scene of Sammie playing and the last scene when Stack and Mary visit him. I worked for a clinic based in the Delta and actually with the (female! Black!) mayor of Sunflower, so I just can’t get enough of that incredible movie.

Listen, if you ignore all of their losses they have no losses.

My plan in a societal collapse scenario is to die very early on because I really like taking a hot shower every single night before bed.

I would like to announce to everyone that I have not texted the dear friend who is an Alabama diehard (like, family has a box at Bryant Denny) who, in 2008, texted to ask if UGA was wearing black because they were going to their own funeral.

Well, Georgia’s only loss is to a 3 loss team.

Man, I remember being at that 03 game when we broke two of their QBs’ arms.

Then the next day I was at the store and saw someone I knew who was also a UGA grad and we were commiserating and a friend of hers came up and she said β€œwe both went to Georgia, we’re talking about the game,” and the friend said β€œoh, I went to Alabama, so I’ll go…”

We lived in Mobile and knew SO MANY Alabama boosters. There was a teen I knew whose dad became the chancellor there a year later and we used to jaw back and forth. The next day the only thing he said to me was β€œthat game. THAT GAME!”

My son was 3 so obviously doesn’t remember & my husband was telling him about the aftermath earlier today, from him going to cry after to us going to get a tree & getting dinner at 5 guys & the workers seeing us in our UGA gear (in Mobile) & bringing us our food b/c they could see we were done.

These fans singing Goodbye obviously didn’t suffer through β€˜08 or β€˜12 or β€˜15 or maybe even the β€˜18 NCG. I have so much ingrained Alabama related trauma.

I’m like I think it’s possible they could still get 3 touchdowns in 3 minutes

I can't stop thinking about the purported drug smugglers being murdered by the US military. The punishment for drug offenses isn't the death penalty. This is just bloodlust and men in suits playing with lives they don't care about. It's truly grotesque and gravely compromises this country.

When I worked as an insurance adjuster just out of college (03/04), I had a claim where a guy did this, except it didn’t break off and pulled up the whole thing. It cost thousands to replace.

My reaction as a Georgia graduate who lived in Mobile from 2008-2021 (so that would be losing to them in the regular season in 2008, the SEC championship in 2012, regular season in 2015, and NCG in 2018).

Glad one kid is at a small school (though, she is thinking of going into education policy, so may end up with you) and the other is thinking small, too!

Wow, that’s interesting. I went to Georgia and I’m ashamed to say we always considered a high amount of school paraphernalia to be an indicator that one didn’t actually matriculate at the schoolβ€¦πŸ˜¬

This happened in an episode of Scrubs in the early 2000s. I can’t believe it’s a real life occurrence!

My husband has informed that the official lyrics to our fight song are, in fact, *not* β€œain’t nothin’ finer in the land than a drunk, obnoxious Georgia fan.”
