Hate Week presents some problems for me. It's a challenge to balance my intense hatred for UGA with my inclination to not to be a total jerk. Part of me thinks it's in the spirit of the rivalry to bash the other school, while the other part realizes the inherent hypocrisy of degrading a school because I find its fans so... degrading. Maybe it's irrational to think the two sides of me can coexist... but what's college football if not irrational? In that spirit, I would like to present this year's version of my annual Hate poem. Georgia fans, I simultaneously apologize and hope it stings:
