Georgia Football: Reasons why UGA fans think ‘WE WANT BAMA’
By Mike Stowe
2. “To be the man, you gotta beat the man.”
This is the greatest quote from the greatest pro wrestler of all time, the one and only Nature Boy Ric Flair.
It rings true in all sports, and especially in football. Alabama is without a doubt the college football version of “the Man” right now. They have won 4 national championships in the past 8 years and the past 3 SEC championships. Has Kirby Smart brought UGA back to national relevance?Absolutely. But the only road I see that takes us to elite status has Alabama in it.
Just look to our orange ACC neighbours to the East from over near the Jockey Lot. When did Clemson go from being really good to being elite? When Dabo Swinney finally brought a national championship back to Clemson for the first time since 1981. Who did they have to go through to do it? That’s right……the evil emperor Nick Saban and Alabama.
That’s what Kirby Smart must duplicate if he is going to bring a national championship back to Athens for the first time since 1980. Nobody is just going to hand UGA the title. Georgia is going to have to climb to the top of the mountain and to get there, it is going to have to go right through Bama. We might as well get this thing started now, it’s going to be the case for a few years.
