I would like an honest opinion....

Unlike many others here, I hope UGA wins every game they play in a BIG way, up until they play us. I want GT to be the one that bursts their bubble, knocks them out of the national championship...

The major problem you have here is that there would be a better than outside chance that with an undefeated conference record and a win in the SECCG, a loss to a powerful one-loss GT team isn't likey to knock them out to the Champeenship of the World game.

Fact is you should want those b@stards to lose every damn game every damn season, which means that, unless they change our game to the beginning of the season like they're threatening, we'd never want to be the first to beat them.

Either way, FLA kicks their ass.

Oh, and to the original question, it is NOT a bad idea. I don't know who gave you the bad idea advice...

#1. ABSOLUTELY go to the watch party with her. DO NOT cheer for UGA. Cheer for UF or at the very least AGAINST UGA. Wear GT gear or orange or white.

#2. Make the bet for something that she would only agree to if she likes you. Loser buys dinner for instance for each game. You are locking in a second (technically third) date.

#3. This is key. You must be very sympathetic if UF loses. VERY sympathetic. You must understand her emotions and react properly to them. Also, if at all possible, have a distraction option available for after the game. Clubbing would be a good distraction. Anything with a lot of friends would work.

Good luck.

great men think alike.

Is betting on ugag to beat Florida really that bad?

Yes.

You must, MUST, craft your bet in such a way that you gain benefit if Tech wins and UF loses, that she gains benefit if UF wins and Tech loses, and you BOTH gain benefit if we both win.

That makes it a collaboration, and a bonding experience, instead of an adversarial experience.
