RE: Georgia State vs Georgia Southern rivalry week
My .02. Once upon a time 20 years ago(seriously... its been 20 years... anyway) I started at Georgia State. From my high school in metro Atlanta, about the same number of kids went to State that went to Southern. Statesboro wasn't my bag. I liked the city. My sister was a DJ at WRAS 10 years prior at GSU, and I thought it was the coolest thing. I got to go to TAAC games against Southern with her. It was cool. They were a rival. Anyway. Still probably the coolest day for me while at State(other than beating Wisconsin) was hanging out with Willie Nelson who showed up to be on our station and hung out in the student center.

Anyway. Tech was basically across the street. So I had football. But it wasn't mine. So when my friends came back from Southern, I will admit I was envious of the fact they had a football team. And I immediately started to hear.... we're the real GSU. We have football. No matter what, I had to hear that crap for years. So once we got a football team, they were the 1st team in the cross-hairs. I mean come on. If someone says you don't matter because you don't have this, what would you want to do? Show them up, right? And boy... did we show them... not really. Every Southern fan thought there is no way these guys can compete with what they have done in FCS. And as long as we were in the FCS playground, we'd never be quite the team and history of an App or Georgia Southern And they were right... but one sure fire way to put that history in the shadows would be for State to go FBS. Because whether you like it or not, it made the score, maybe not 0-0, but no longer insurmountable football wise.

You can have all the tradition and history you want, but winning is the rain that makes it grow. We don't have that. I will admit. But the ONLY thing that has gotten me through this decade is I can say I was there since day one. So in 30 years when the P5s have gone all supernova and the G5s roam the land, I can look back and say yep I was a part of that.

So...We hate each other, but we don't have the war wounds to show it. We are like neighbors who live across the street from each other who don't like each other. We just stew about what the other one is doing... look at that fence... could they mow their lawn more than once every season.... they really need to replace that eyesore of a sports arena, huh garage... About the only thing that has happened is our dogs crap in each others yards. So we write firm letters to the HOA. But that road is paved with gun powder. It just needs the major thing to set it off. Y'all are the one team I want to beat, and as of now with most of your fan base, we are the one team y'all don't want to lose to. Not quite the same thing, but I will take it.

I came onboard on the rivalry quarrel in 2014 after Georgia Southern unfurled the "Paulson North" banner at a Georgia State home game I attended as a Georgia State undergrad student. Thought that was too arrogant for my taste. I didn't even know where Georgia Southern was and why their team/fans hated us so much.

I don't have the real nasty gritty hatred for Georgia Southern, but it's fun to talk smack about sports against an in-state competition 05-stirthepot......as long as the insults are confined in the topic of sports and don't evolve into acrimonious attacks toward respective institutions (which I admit, fans of both schools do sometimes)

Obviously not a fan of either y'all or GS, but I pull for GSU in all of your games. I agree that GS is too arrogant for me as well. Thankfully that has been alleviated.

Where? I RARELY see Gast stuff. I see a ton of Georgia Southern stuff though, and people always make comments about Georgia Southern when they see my stuff (typically a Hail Southern or Go Eagles).

And until this year with all the crap we've dealt with in terms of our schedule, we have beaten you in attendance. I'd expect the numbers we're seeing right now to be short lived, and it's taken a storm (Irma joke...too soon?) of epic proportions to get to where we are now.

That's not to say ya'll aren't starting to build a good foundation....just got to make sure it sticks this time.

I lived in north Atlanta around buckhead and always saw Georgia Southern stuff. Never saw Georgia State stuff. Even the college football fan shops sold Georgia Southern stuff and barely any Georgia State stuff. This was a year and a half ago.

Maybe that’s the difference is Georgia State controls their part of downtown while Southern controls the burbs.

And... our final two home games will most likely have Georgia playing less that 5 miles away for their National Championship life.

Nov 25 - App @ State or UGA @ GT
Dec 2 - Idaho @ State or SEC Championship

I really don't understand since our schedule is the last FBS conference to come out that the SunBelt couldn't have planned better. Y'all used to say how UGA would impact your attendance... I can only imagine what this will do.

I think y'all notice Southern stuff like we notice State stuff. I see more State stuff, but it is probably because I notice more State stuff. And that is Cobb/North Fulton. We have also had 78 different logo and color combinations in 7 years.

I intentionally look. And have since 2010.

The UGA and GT stuff is just noise to me.

WE’VE ONLY HAD TWO HOME GAMES SO FAR 03-lmfao03-lmfao

You can’t tout your middle-of-the-year marginally-better tickets-sold attendance like y’all don’t average 10,000 actual fans per game.

You know what would be fun? Let’s look at attendance vs city population size and see how they compare.

RE: Georgia State vs Georgia Southern rivalry week
Southern has had a "home game" played in Birmingham (are we counting that?), a Wednesday night game and 1 Saturday home game so far. We have 2 more Saturday home games that are in the middle of the afternoon and I expect those games to bring our attendance average up closer to 20K like it has been the past few years.

You guys have the sketchiest attendance numbers in the conference, and I think others here (not just GS fans) will back that up.

If there was 28k people in the dome for Southern-State in 2014 then we're averaging at least that much.
