This thread is freaking dumb
People in the south take football too seriously, end of story. No need to paint broad strokes on either fanbase or school.

How you took that tone from what I said is actually impressive.

If you post one more emoji, I think you may just convince me I’m the one who’s shook up.

But the water hoses being turned on to fans in the stands were just as bad if not worse. Sod can be replaced. Injuries from people being knocked down in the stands is harder to overcome.

Assuming that happened.

Do you have any evidence of said injuries or the water being turned into the stands and directed at people?
Seriously? The hoses are clearly shown in the video in the OP, and I have also posted pictures in either this thread or another one. And it was reported in an article I linked to in yet another thread on the same subject. I think there is very little doubt that it happened. That said, I saw somewhere that the water cannons (Hoses or whatever people want to call them) were not ordered by Auburn AD, but was a rogue operator.
quote:An admission for one, and for Auburn fans to stop celebrating it, maybe?
And even if everything you said happened actually did happen, it's been 35 years. Do we need a commission and a grand apology from Auburn? What exactly are y'all looking for here?
quote:I agree, which is why I never bring it up. In fact I usually don't comment on it until Auburn fans start celebrating the incident or they deny it ever happened.
It hasn't happened again. We all know UGA and Auburn hate each other. So really the only reason to bring it up at all is to fan those flames because nothing productive is going to come of it.

This year I have seen UGA bring it up more--- which is weird to me because that is one topic that definitely will not get a rise out of us.
Maybe I have missed it? This thread, for instance was not started by a Georgia fan. neither was the other one that I saw. I think one was started by a Tennessee fan and one by an Alabama fan. Now, a lot of Georgia fans have commented within those threads....as I have. but I have not seen it brought up by a Georgia fan.

That was it! I posted the same article in another thread.
That said, I do disagree with some of the article. I think the Georgia fans were dead wrong to be on the field. They were asked not to go on the field several times. I also believe the people on the field got exactly what they had coming to them, and I don't think hitting them with water was excessive. They deserved it. my complaint is when they were turned on the fams in the stands. Here is an excerpt to an interview with the guy that apparently (by his own admission) ordered the water to be turned on.
Conner: Well, we discussed this at length before the game. We had made up our mind — when I redid the field and got it in good shape, we weren’t going to let the fans on it. They could destroy more grass than the players during the game. We told them (Georgia fans) ‘don’t go on the field, you’re not going to be allowed on the field.’ But they went on there and so we opened it up on them and got them a little wet. Coach Dye laughed about it, he said they needed a bath anyways.
TWER: What exactly were they doing?
Conner: They were grabbing at the turf. They wanted a piece of the grass. Only a few of them got out there, but some of them got real wet in the stands, some who weren’t leaving. They didn’t like that. It took a while to get them out of there. Some of them in the stands shook the rails loose on one end. They (the cannons) turn 360 degrees. You could turn them all the way around, you know. We didn’t have full pressure on them ‘cause there wasn’t enough pressure to run all of them.

Do I think they meant to hurt anybody? Nah. Probably not. But as adults they should have considered the possibility when you turn hoses (or water cannons) on to people standing in bleachers.

The fans in the stands did NOT deserve to be hit with the water hoses. As your own video shows the water turned and aimed at fans in the stands

Quit trying to defend your classless thugs. There is no defense or spin on it. Auburn should have used rubber bullets and tear gas on them.

You must have forgotten how Auburn tried to destroy the hedges the previous year

Oh so turning the hoses on fans (who were asked to leave) who were throwing things and trying to destroy more property was a bit much huh?

UGA cried and cried whenever that abysmal 2019 SCAR team tore up their shitty bushes in celebration.

1. You don't ask fans to leave a stadium.
2. So, you think you turn hoses on everybody? Is that what you are seriously saying? If you have some unruly fans you send security after the ones being unruly.
You don't turn hoses/cannons on innocent people standing and talking.
