Tornado delay

63 minutes, as reported by Tim Brando on the Raycom television coverage. —C.Fred (talk) 02:56, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

64 minutes, officially, per SEC officials, per the color man. —C.Fred (talk) 02:58, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
How relevant are the regular season awards/stats here? I did a double take when I saw Patrick Patterson's name here. CopaceticThought (talk) 07:26, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Most Hated

[edit]

I am reading the article and it cites Georgia Tech as Georgia's most hated rival. As a Georgia alumnus myself, I would personally agree with that assertion. However, I know many more in the UGA community and fanbase who would consider Florida or Auburn the most hated rival. Is that statement not pure speculation? Is it encyclopedic?

Since there are no sources claiming that Georgia Tech is Georgia's "most hated" rival, it has been removed. Also the term is opinion based and therefore should've been deleted already. Reorion (talk) 23:24, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, please. There's a whole article about this bitter rivalry — just click on the link on the word "rival" right after the words you saw fit to delete. You might have tried clicking on that before you deleted the phrase. I've inserted the word "bitter" instead. Does that make you feel better? You might can say its an opinion in the broadest sense of the word, but the opinion is so widely held by those who are involved (and many who aren't) what it at least qualifies as consensus, of not outfight fact. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 14:47, 23 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'm fine with the word bitter. I think you are correct that there would be a consensus on that. I disagree that there is any consensus on Georgia Tech being Georgia's "most hated" rival. There may be a consensus among GA Tech fans that Georgia is their "most hated" rival, but as a Georgia alumnus who still attends games and speaks regularly with other Georgia fans and alumni, I would say that the majority of Georgia fans do not consider GT their "most hated" rival. The plurality of Georgia fans would choose Florida, with a significant portion choosing Auburn or Tennessee (even though Tennessee isn't even an historical rival of Georgia). There are some that view Tech as the "most hated," but there certainly is not a consensus. Failureofafriend (talk) 23:49, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
In response to your bolded statement, I'd like to reference you to Georgia-Florida Rivalry and Georgia-Auburn Rivalry which also have entire articles about them. Failureofafriend (talk) 23:55, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
