Hello,

There is a reason Georgia and the rest of the Southeast, read Alabama, is last/near last, in SAT scores, it's called FOOTBALL! Hello notre dame, welcome to the SEC. You may be a school of academic integrity, who gives most of your football income to academics, and enjoys the envy of all, but our professional SEC "student athletes" will kick your butt on the field of "play".

Of course your ex - scholars may find more gainful employment, but for today, GO SEC!

And maybe Oregon, Texas A&M, Stanford, Ohio State, would also have beat you, but you are still a good program and can remember the Gipper!
