You people wonder why there are so many outsiders that dislike UGA? It's because most of your fans act like a bunch of damn savages.
Quote: Abusive language, rowdy behavior and fighting have become all too common at University of Georgia football games -- and that's not even on the field.
Sports fans, with the help of a little alcohol, are a growing problem for school officials and local law enforcement, who have had to deal with everything from littering to riots.
"I've had calls for guys that were standing at the top of the stadium, in the 300- and 400-level seats, urinating over the top of the (seating area) to the gate at people entering the stadium," said UGA Police Chief Chuck Horton.
Things such as this don't happen every game, but they do happen too often, he said. "I don't know that I'd bring a small child in there."
The University of Georgia Athletic Association and the Athens-Clarke County government have teamed up on a new Fan Behavior Committee, which will look at ways of changing fan behavior during home games.
The committee is working to prevent a repeat of a 2000 incident when hundreds of Bulldog fans stormed the field after a win over the University of Tennessee, taking down a goal post and ripping up the famed Sanford Stadium hedges.
The county also is dealing with large amounts of trash along city and residential streets discarded by fans en route to the stadium.
Davison labels the game-day littering "a huge problem."
"I would never go to someone's community and trash it like that," she said.

That's an old argument that doesn't hold water anymore. And yeah, I'm sure we'd have fans wearing dog collars, barking thoughout the game, and p*ssing on each other too. :bluethumb:

Is the hatred directed soley at opposing fans, or do Georgia fans indiscriminantly attack just about anyone ??? I've never been to a game at Sanford stadium, but I ask in all seriousness, as I will more than likely be attending UGA games on numerous occasions in the next decade.
........Not as a Clemson fan, but rooting for the Dawgs on those occasions. Next spring, my family and I will relocate back to the United States and the north-east area of Georgia looks very appealing. UGA also looks to be nearly a lock for one of my tatertots (veterinary science major) and more than likely, the other as well.

I should also add that while I was born and raised in Columbia, I have been determined for a number of years to eventually settle in Georgia. Among other factors to consider, I have become convinced that bye and large, the nicest people in America live in the great state of Georgia. :) .......Not to mention, ya'll already know how ta' talk raight.
