It just occurred to me that Atlanta...

That's all.

Two teams, two leagues, two chances to play for a championship, two fourth down flubs, one State in common.

Looks like 'Niners & New England.

Hate the '49'ers. Their uniforms remind me too much of FSU.

And they both blew big leads, wear red, lost by four points, and came up short on last ditch drives on almost the same spot on the same end of the field at the Georgia Dome. The parallels are amazing.

Not so fast my friend!!! (Lee Corso voice)

Maybe if they called it the Florida Gator Dome, they may have more success.

And in both cases teams from Florida watching the game on TV.

I don't know about Mike Smith, but Richt will always choke on the big one.

Here's a quote from a blog in the Atlanta Constipation to refresh your memory about Richt's choke on the big one:

That put the ball at the Alabama 8-yard line with nine seconds left on the clock. Richt vehemently defended his decision to run a hurry-up play at that point, rather than to spike the ball.

“You don’t spike the ball there,” he said. “We had the play we wanted. It takes time to spike the ball, and we’re thinking about maybe (getting) three plays there.

“The clock stopped for the first down (on Lynch’s catch) while we were getting to the line of scrimmage,” Richt said. “We called a play. We called a play we call ‘stout.’ It’s a fade by the outside receiver and a four-step speed-out by the inside receiver. We were attempting to throw the ball to the outside receiver. The ball got batted and just landed, unfortunately, right in the arms of our … inside receiver. Not a good thing, with no timeouts.

Georgia is not a bad state, it's just that school in Athens that sucks.

Georgia sucks - that's why the St. Johns river flows north.

[born2beagator]

Yup. And I am a bucs fan. Double dislike

[AtlGator90]

It sucks being an Atlanta sports fan sometimes. I was born and raised in Atl but Orange and Blue runs in my family. Thank god I'm not one of the butt sniffers too. uke:

I think Matty Ice will get a ring or at least play in a SB with the falcons at some point, I sure hope Tony Gonzalez comes back for one more shot at one too.

What occurred to me is that they play at the site of the national title game for all of their home games.

I'd take Richt over Smith, but both compile meaningless wins.

Living in NE FL is sorta like being in SE GA.
