War Eagle, baby!
UGA fans will now STFU and go back to being the Prozac Nation. It's already started on the post game call in shows. "They broke my heart again". "I don't git the play callin' in the 2nd half" "Kirby is a good recruiter, but he can't win the big games" etc.
UGA fans are a group that without winning anything for 37 years have found a way to make just about every other fan base in the South despise them and take joy in their losses. It stems from their own jealousy and the fact that they under perform by their own standards. Since the advent of the BCS/Playoff Championship, Florida has multiple titles, LSU has 2, Tennessee has one, Auburn has one and nearly another, FSU has several, Clemson got theirs, and Bama has too many to count. All that eats them up.
If you try to talk college football with them, it goes quickly to " I HATE (your team's name) SUX! Go Dawgs, Woof, Woof, Woof!)
I've had this conversation innumerable times.
Dog Fan: "I HATE Auburn!"
Me: "When did that Start?"
DF "Always! I hate them! Go Dawgs!"
"I thought y'all hated Florida"
"I hate them more"
"What about UT?"
"Oh, phouc Tennessee!"
"I thought Clemson was the one you hated?"
"Oh, hell yes! I hate everything that wears Orange"
"Missou?"
"Piss on 'em!"
"But isn't Georgia Tech your real rival?"
"I can't STAND Tech bastards!"
So how can a fanbase hate everyone on their schedule except Vanderbilt? It's not natural.
Auburn fans hate Alabama, the natural in state rival and vice versa. But you know what? Except for the trailer park dwelling tree poisoning lunatic fringe, both side can tease each other in fun, except Iron Bowl Day....
AU fans don't HATE LSU, or Florida, or Ole Miss, or South Carolina. Aggie fans have been too well mannered to hate. No, we have one main rival 52 weeks per year and UGA fans have chosen to hate the world. As a result, in a town the size of ATL, fans of every other school this week have seen people in Auburn gear and have said "I hope you guys KILL UGA! Tech fans, UF fans, UT, USC, MSU, LSU it's pretty universal.. Bama does't trigger that kind of response, and they have earned a target on their backs by dominating college football for a decade now.
Now the Dawg fans are moping around, clinging to the hope that a win over Bama or AU in the SEC Championship will put them back into the playoff. However, they now know that their schedule has been soft, Notre Dame is a sham and that was their signature win, and they will fall short once again. They had fears this whole season that their success was not over top teams, and that they'd be exposed, and it happened in a big way. The mental suffering continues. Many fans would be happy with 11-2 and a New Years Day Bowl. Not around here. They will start woofing about next year, they will be even more obnoxious about it, and the depression that starts with Georgia's first loss will be greater. UGA needs to expand their psychology department to serve their people.
