Emory Hate Zone
Bringing back the rivalry. Time for some Emory hate.
The Emory Wheel news elaborates on the long standing hate between the two programs.-
"The story of Emory’s missing football program begins not with a football team (there never was a team to begin with) but at a pair of baseball games against the University of Georgia in 1884 and 1886. Emory took a beating on both occasions, losing 17-5 and 12-1, according to a history of Emory athletics called Athletics for All written by Clyde Partin, one of Emory’s foremost physical educators."
They have finally gotten their revenge, but at a cost.

I'm sure most of us don't think about Emory enough to work up a good hate. (Yes, I know, that was partly the point you were making with this thread, and it is funny.)
I have some friends who went to law school or medical school there, but I've honestly never known a single person who went to undergrad there. Pretty sure they all come in from New Jersey.
EDIT: I looked it up out of curiosity, and 82% of the students at Emory come from outside of Georgia. I haven't confirmed yet how many come from Jersey.
Interesting if there is a large NJ contingent though. Dated a girl from there for a few years. Different breed there. Beautiful, fun, and quick to anger. She never tried to salt my field though thankfully.
I have friends from Emory undergrad and I did my residency there after med school. On campus at Emory is weird. You're surrounded by wimpy human beings, none of whom have ever been punched in the face, slept in the rain, ridden a horse, or jumped out of an airplane.
Someone wrote "Trump 2016" in sidewalk chalk and the school had to offer free psychotherapy for students who were triggered by that most offensive and vicious deed.
NJ, like Georgia, has very different areas. Last week I spent time with cranberry growers. Very remote areas in the Pinelands. They need 10 acres of woods per acre of cranberries to manage water used in flooding for harvest and winter protection. NW part of the State like north Georgia.
Populous areas bc of NYC and Philly and Shore. Very proud of their Ag and moniker the Garden State. Big event this past Tu in Wildwood.
Uhh... Hmmmm... (...so many things I want to say, so many responses...)
Best they remain unsaid...
When I First saw the title of this thread I thought that we were reduced to hating on running back recruiting miss
I spent a lot of time in the Clinton area. It was beautiful. Small towns and rolling hills.
As I recall, they're the Emory Tea Sippers.
I'm a Georgia graduate but I attended Emory as an undergraduate before transferring and have a good many friends from back then many of whom were and still are huge Georgia fans. Very good and nice people. When I was at Emory most of the people I knew were from Georgia, but the school has changed a lot since then.
Go, Dawgs!
Do they take salt with their tea @JimWallace ?
As a student, I signed up for a ride along program in an ambulance helicopter. I got to stand on the roof of Emory. That's all I got.
I'm ignorant to the salt and NJ thing. Can someone explain?
Edit: Never mind, I read the article.
😂😂😂😂😂WUT?!?!
Like @JimWallace, I went to Emory a loooooooong time before transferring to UGA. It was a very different school then than it is now.
But, there was definitely a Northeastern contingent large enough to make mike sick of "The Boss," "The Dead" and especially Deadheads. 10th Avenue Freeze Out, Sugar Magnolia non-freakin' stop. One of the most popular shirts among the Noreasters, since appropriated and basturized by the FU was "Harvard, The Emory of the North." Many also freaked out the first time it got cold/snowed and couldn't believe it was possible that we were ~6 hrs from the beach - "Dis is da south, how can dat be???" We blessed their hearts.
There were definitely no "safe spaces" or need for them at the time. We talked s h * t and debated everything - sports, girls, politics, pop culture, music, religion, name it - would call each other and our mothers the worst names possible as the heat escalated. And then when we were through, we'd go to PJ's, order a couple hundred wings extra hot for 10 cents a piece and split $5 pitchers together until we'd stupidly drive back to campus. I miss those days.
Rambled. I accept any OTs and DV.
I've never thought of The Dead has being a NE thing. If anything I would think they'd be associated with the west coast since they came out of San Francisco.
When I read it I thought someone got screwed over by a Dr. or something from the Emory hospital.
