Answer -
It’s because none of them have the intelligence to express themselves without resorting to cursing, belittling or using bully tactics which mean absolutely nothing to anyone except to those who revel in such things in lame pathetic attempts to gain a “one-up” on the other guy.

It really gets old and is a big waste of time having to read through the blogs for Georgia and
Ga Tech to pass by the cursing, belittling and bullying to finally find something worth reading that actually is an intelligent response to what the sports article is about. Thanks – now that’s been said…

I’m thankful to have been young enough to enjoy the elite programs, players and coaches both institutions enjoyed starting back in the early 50’s – to get excited on Thanksgiving day when the freshmen played giving us all a glimpse of the future of the programs and players for the benefit of the children at the Scottish Rite Hospital – “Strong legs run so weak legs may walk”. Good old fashion hate was there of course but the fans in those days still gave respect to each other as well as other programs. Sometimes that respect also had a bit of envy riding on it’s shoulder from what other programs had in terms of players or coaches or unexpected wins but always respect. Both schools are steeped in history and great legends. Bobby Dodd was a good coach and a great man but then too were Wally Butts and Vince Dooley. All made good and bad choices along the way – that’s life. Fantastic players have emerged from both teams and are far too many to name but their honors are well deserved. I really don’t think I’m different than any other fan when I see a gifted athlete perform, applauding his / her accomplishments and wondering what it must be like to possess the marvelous talent and skills of these young people.

I’m thankful I got to watch David Pollack play ball. He was one of those great players! I don’t have or know his statistics and, although they matter a great deal, what is more important was how he played the game and how he conducted himself off the field. He was then and still is a true leader by example in every way – something that we all should take away from his years of association with the University of Georgia and pro ball with the Bengals.

I’m thankful for all the players, great or otherwise, who have gone to the University of Georgia as well Georgia Tech and all the other programs. They have provided us with some of the great moments of our short lives – given us memories to feed the love of the sport long after we’re too old sit in the seat at the stadium because of illness or reasons.

Thank you Mr. Pollack for being one of the many players nationwide to lead by example and provide us with many memories of your greatness. We are better because you came our way and were part of us all.
