WOOOO!!! EARLY REASSIGNS THE GATOR HATOR TO THE BABY
The Curious Index and the CFBA announcement for Best Prose will be along shortly, but first: WOOOOOO!!! Remember that taiiiihme you punched the teeth outta ya mouth to show them Gators how tough you were?
Squidbillies: made by Georgians who know what they’re talking about here. If that “Gator Hator” hat isn’t sitting atop the heads of some bloody-mouthed UGA fans next season looking for their teeth on the ground, we’ll be sorely, sorely disappointed in you all, sirs and madams. But you do know that in a name-calling war based on redneck cred, Georgia loses in a smoking heap to Florida, right? We’ve got so much more than just the Duck Head-wearing nouveau-riche Panic crowd and the oceans of starchy white trash that Georgia has to offer: switchblade wielding gel-freaks from Miami, bland transplanted midwesterners from Orlando, stoner surfer rednecks from Melbourne, Jacksonville tattoo guys still rocking the Durst fat pants, shot-guzzling Fiero drivers from Tampa, displaced Jerseyites who leave fake tanner residue on white couches…we’ve really got it all. The army of trash Florida can assemble is simply unparalleled.
We’re nastily diverse with it. Early’s head would be spinning.

Brian, I believe I did miss your analogy, but it’s mostly because of my blind raving rage over perceiving your disrespect of the catfish.
In other news:
Grateful Dead > football

I know two people who were accepted to GA Tech and not to UF. Both ended up going to UCF.

Dude, Brian, thank you for finding the link to the old Badical Industries page. Do they still show up every Friday with ridiculous shit? I’ve still got the flyer about Mexican “fun-facts” somewhere.
“Anyone who has stepped foot on the fine campus of America’s oldest chartered University and witnessed the beauty of our “fish” would know we only serve up the finest marine cuisine.”
You’re saying what we already know… everyone in Athens has crabs.

I have to give Florida the nod in terms of trash per capita.
When it was pointed out that Georgians were moving to Florida in droves following World War II, Georgia governor Eugene Talmadge said, “That’s okay, it’s boosted the average IQ of both states by 25 points!”

who produces more meth per capita i wonder. I mean oklahoma may have more meth heads, but Im willing to bet that a georgian uses more meth on a daily basis.

Are Coop and Brian the same person? They both seem to have the “Your school sucks and is filled with morons- I went to school X, which is ranked 10-25 spots higher than yours, according to US News,” thing covered.

Brian: ?!?
GA Tech ranking: 35
UF ranking: 49
UGA ranking: 59
I can see where there’s a bit of a differential between Tech and UGA, but please, UF is smack in the middle of the two. Certainly not bottom-feeding-catfish-analogy level of stupidity. That kind of stupidity is clearly reserved for “institutions” like FSU.
And to TCOAN’s point, many students at UF, if they had both FL Prepaid and Bright Futures, actually got paid (in a way) to stay in-state. I was one of ‘em, and zero dollars in student debt is phenomenal indeed.

I once heard about, never witnessed, a painting of a Grateful Dead skeleton wearing a CSA uniform on the wall of a certain fraternity house at UA.
Dead > Panic. Any day.

Brian,
What mattered more to you in your college experience?
What matters more to you now?

If my ears do not deceive me, Early is none other than Unknown Hinson.
I fondly remember his chart-toppin TV series w/ the late Rebel Helms, “The Wild, Wild South”.

Yes, it is very stupid to choose to go to a state school and avoid student loan debt. I cry every month when I don’t have to write a $500 check for my liberal arts degree.

I think you missed the analogy Mr. Fist.

Clarification: that wasn’t directed towards Dawg 05, just poorly worded.

Yeah, Dawg 05, intelligence - like assuming a state that’s bordered on 3 fucking sides by ocean to pride itself on its catfish. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to go chase Mofro out of my backyard.

Let’s not forget the groundbreaking pussycore of Yellowcard…and i’m sure with our demographics we must have produced a bigtime country singer out of Middleburg/OP/Baker County/Callahan etc

If I go my whole life and never hear another person scream DUUUUUUVAL….that’d be nice.

Brian,
I cannot speak for Florida, but I am fairly sure that UGA is not “catfish”. Anyone who has stepped foot on the fine campus of America’s oldest chartered University and witnessed the beauty of our “fish” would know we only serve up the finest marine cuisine.

Why must you hunk us natives of the DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUVAL in with Fred Durst?
Seriously, why not go for the Skynyrd or .38 Special crowd or 69Boyz?

Declaring which is better; UGA or UF, is like saying that your restaurant has the world’s best catfish. Yes the meat might be succulent and flaky, but at the end of the day, its inputs are still the garbage at the bottom of the pond.

The real question, though, is which state has bigger Truck Nuts?

For the record:
Jawja > Florida (on the grounds that GA was a penal colony)
Phish > Panic
Globalization > Protectionism

“MiseanAuFan, so which has the higher quality? Judging from your scholastic affinity (and geography), I’d say Panic.”
Wrong! (yes, I know- Auburn, southeast, etc- it screams Panic).

#17 you must be a “F.I.T.” wanna-be!
Down in the “IRC” we’d surf the inlet in the morning, skate the “PSL” metal ramp in the afternoon and airboat for aligator out in C-54 all night.
This was the 90’s however.
