It’s Pronounced Jordan: Time to rebrand the Auburn-Georgia rivalry?

Like it? Share it! Thanks!

It always made me feel a little inferior. I couldn’t help it. You’re growing up and the CBS and ESPN intros make you feel that Auburn and Georgia are the Adam and Eve of southern football, and that feels good, that feels right. And then one day you realize that maybe they’re just, like, the Cain and Abel or something, because, OK, people are now throwing “Deep” in front of it. Oh, it’s the Deep South‘s oldest rivalry. Oh, so just the south part of the south, way on down there where football took a little longer to arrive because once upon a time geography played a pretty big role in the rate of cultural transmission and stuff.
