I’m still mad and I will never get over this...It hurts so much bros, how do we move on?
It’ll take time. It’s not going to be easy to get over because we got absolutely ööööed by the refs when we had it in the bag, but it’ll happen eventually.
I just texted my group text that I'm still so pissed and I feel like a whiny bitch, but I really don't know how this anger passes before we play them again.
I’m almost ashamed at how much I have let this game affect me. Nothing less than “soul crushing” can describe. You are not alone
Same. Usually after a loss, I’m fine. “Bummer. That’s life.” And back to reality of working, being a dad etc. I can’t let this one go though because we got repeatedly screwed.
Bury those feelings deep down in your stomach. Be a man.
I never expect us to beat them. That’s my armor. We didn’t prevail, and while I hate that we didn’t, I can shrug it off. Make no mistake… we embarrassed them. We dominated them for most the game and they needed 8 OTs and biased refs to stave off the upset at home. Them with their #7 rank and us coming in a lowly 7-4. Anyone comes barking in your face remind them we were one missed FG or one unfavorable penalty away from an outright upset. How embarrassing for them!
In 1961 in Birmingham, Bama's Darwin Holt shattered the jaw of Tech's Chic Granning, and no penalty ensued and Bear never apologized for it. In 1962 in Atlanta, when I was a rat and didn't even know who Darwin Holt was, Grant Field was packed to the rafters a good 30 minutes before kickoff, and the student section was packed an hour before kickoff. All through the game, the entire Tech section, adults and students, chanted "Remember Darwin Holt, Remember Darwin Holt. It was the most intense atmosphere I have ever encountered in a football game, or probably anything else. It was a close game all the way, but Tech won it, in spite of the emergence of Joe Namath as a star QB for the Tide. I say, we buy as many tickets as we can for next year at the Benz and at least half-fill it with Tech fans wanting revenge. Let's pay them back for this atrocity and make their fans suffer like hell for it, not to mention their coaches and players. Let the chant be something like "Remember '24, Remember '24"
TO EFFIN' HELL WITH GEORGIA!!!!!
This feels worse than the divorce
This has been the most difficult sporting event for me to try to move on from in at least 15 years. And that includes 28-3 as a Falcons fan. It's easy to say öööö like, "We'll let this fuel us and we'll come back next year and beat them." But the reality is, that may be true... or it may not. UGA is unfortunately one of the few elite programs now, and they will always have the upper hand on us from a depth perspective. It hurts so damn bad to let one slip away (or more accurately, have one taken away) when it should've been won because you just never know when it'll be within our grasp again. I do think a lot about 2013 and how I felt many of the same feelings then (even though, for some reason, this game was much harder to process). And then 2014 happened. And I can see a path to the same type of 2025 for us next year. I say all that to say this: DAMN it feels good to HATE the dawgs again. Did I always hate them? Yes. But for so long all we had was a furious sense of indignation that they had pulled so far ahead of us as we rooted for our fledgling, despairing program. Not anymore. We're on the ööööing rise and we're going to beat their asses one day very, very soon.
We can't beat the refs though.
