The State of Georgia
I won't draw this out like I'm some kind of rocket surgeon but is the Georgia curse real and if not can someone please present us all with a valid reason proving otherwise.
Dawgs make it to the Natty, lose in spectacular fashion to Ohio State 87 to nothing....I'm just saying what every other Georgia lifer is thinking, don't hate me.

Don’t hate ya, but I don’t believe in curses. Hard to prove a negative though.
Ain’t no curses
We honestly did not have a championship caliber pitching staff, we had one guy all year that I always felt comfortable with on the mound Soroka
It's hard to disprove a negative, but I get your point. I don't believe in curves on an intellectual level, maybe I just don't have the intellect for it. On a gut level a lifetime of failing at critical moments makes me dread what's coming more than I anticipate the possibility of winning them. I'm betting Bama fans go into big games feeling a deep confidence ingrained over a lifetime of winning most big games.
I disagree. It wasn't preordained Folty would crap the sheets, he's been money for over 2 months. Soroka, Keuchel and Fried are all very capable.
This is inexplicable.
You don’t believe in curves?
Keuchel was ok but not an ace shut down pitcher I mean he was 8-8 with a 3.75 ERA definitely not eye popping, maybe I’m spoiled with the old staff of Maddox and company, I mean any of those guys on the mound and I felt like we had a chance
Eh, I'm as pessimistic as the next Atlanta fan but the last two games weren't bad luck..just the middle of the Braves lineup headed by Freddie taking a dump. The team was put together relatively on the cheap as usual so not having guys like Culberson and Ender, Freeman and Markakis ****, and the rest of your lineup being no one outside of Acuna, Ozzie, and Dansby....
AND you can't play fundamental ball to score a single run in multiple innings of guys on 3rd with less than 2 outs OR bases loaded...pitching has to be perfect. And Liberty won't ever get a playoff #1 starter so the Braves always have a ceiling similar to the past so it just seems like a curse.
As if I'm not p***ed enough already
Atlanta sports? Well we still have the hawks, oh wait, never mind..
It doesn't matter if it's bad play, when it happens over and over and over at times like this it's hard to fathom how it occurs over many decades and every major sport.
Atlanta United won a National Championship. There is no curse
Stop, that don’t count..

Georgia (the entire state) theme song?
It's like winning a basketball championship in China.
