I remember us missing that damn field goal that would have won it against Oklahoma in the 1970 Astro Bluebonnet Bowl. Instead we tied.Alabama fans have always had their program's previous greatness to get them through the lean times. In 1970, sure we only won 6 games that year. But, we had just come off of being the winningest program of the 1960's and 3 national championships.Georgia has had Herschel Walker and 1980 and - well that's about it. And unless you're 45+ year old Georgia fan you wouldn't even remember that. They've had some good (not great) runs during the Wally Butts and Vince Dooley eras but nothing that anybody remembers today and certainly nothing to get you through the tough times. What's incredible to me is that Georgia has more high school talent than most any other state and they still can't figure a way to put together a great program. LOL. Whatever "it" is, as a program they just don't have it.I've lived in Georgia for almost 25 years and I really haven't had many bad experiences with their fan base on a personal level. I don't think they're anywhere near as obnoxious as Auburn or LSU or Michigan or Ohio State or Notre Dame or Oregon fans. They're more pathetic than anything else. They love football, really know how to tailgate, are usually optimistic, and they are all conditioned to accept the inevitable letdown and subsequent acceptance of mediocrity when they lose the big one. Funny as hell.
