Subject: [gatortalk] one good reason to hate Georgia


One simply has to look at the Nov 7, 1942 game.  The heroic players of
the University had enlisted en masse the summer before and were all gone
off to war.  Wally Butts, head coach of the dogs, seeing an opportunity
recruited players to come to Georgia and avoid military duty.  Two of
those military slackers were Frank Sinkwich, who won the Heisman Trophy
for 1942 and Charlie Trippi, the eventual Maxwell award winner.

Georgia won the national championship that year, went undefeated with a
team of ringers who should have been serving their country. 

Of course they beat the Gators 75-0.  We didn't have anyone but new
students to play the game. It is a testament to their fortitude that
they kept the game so close.

Georgia, of course, looks to this date with pride.  

One last thing, when the Interstate highway system was being numbered, a
senator from Georgia wanted I-75 so named in order to honor their
tainted 1942 win.

Go Gators!!  Beat the Dogs!!!
