UGA student group Xing out "M" on campus

I would be embarrassed, but whatever it takes to get up for the game, I guess.

"We came up with the idea to do this after the SEC Championship and a lot of us were still hung on what happened with the loss," The University of Georgia Spike Squad said in a statement provided to The Dispatch. "So we decided the best way to move on was to focus on Michigan and we thought it would be cool if we changed out the M's on campus to X's like Ohio State does."

Kind of weird for them to adopt The Main Enemy's customs when Michigan and Georgia football have zero history with each other in the modern CFP era.  Usually with top-tier non-conference opponents with whom we do not have history, there is mutual respect going into the game.  This is especially awkward because, unlike UGA, Michigan actually beat its bugaboo this year with authority, while UGA choked away a 10-point lead against theirs.  

I also don't understand the line for this game at UGA -7 to -9.  In retrospect, UGA played one legitimate top-10 team this year and got housed.  They played in the SEC LEast which was weak sauce compared to Michigan's B1G East schedule and whom we played out of the B1G West.  

But, whatever, just piss us off and give use some of this positive rat poison and let's see how it goes for UGA on 12/31.

This xakes lots of sense. Here's info on the University of Georgia:

First president: Abrahax Baldwin

Donor of land for the campus: John Xilledge

Next president: Josiah Xeigs

Its schools include:

Xass Coxxunication

Veterinary Xedicine

Xorehead Honors College

Go, teax!

I'll go against the grain here: honestly, if it works for them then they should do it. If crossing out every G across Ann Arbor gives Michigan a better shot to win, makes them more motivated, more focused, etc., then do it. 

Is it a little juvenile? Yeah probably. But when it comes to winning and losing, I hope the team does whatever it takes to put itself in the best possible position to win. So if that's part of what they have to do, if it somehow helps, then shit man......do it.

So we decided the best way to move on was to focus on Michigan and we thought it would be cool if we changed out the M's on campus to X's like Ohio State does.

Translation: We're unoriginal so we stole OSU's ridiculously stupid idea.

words that should never be spoken:  "We thought it would be cool if we _____ because Ohio State does"

 

-Poop in coolers

-Have relations with our cousins

-drink Busch beer

-X mark the letter "M"

 

The list goes on.

I have 2 reactions -

  1. Not sure anyone would advise you to follow OSU's example. In anything.
  2. Well, what else would they do at UGa, study for finals? It's fucking UGa LOL.

I see the brain cells in Athens are on the same level as they are in Ohio. Nothing like having a stunt double on Jerry Springer telling you at the Kroger to “fuk ichigan”.
