How do I hate Columbia? Let me count the ways. I have now visited many of the SEC's fine cathedrals of college football. Williams-Brice Stadium ain't one of them. Let's leave aside for the moment the Bulldogs’ history of subpar performances in the largest pole barn in Central South Carolina.
Columbia is Augusta without the history, Macon without the soul, and Starkville without the awesome ice cream. Columbia fails as both drama and satire. And it chaps me to no end that the Georgia Bulldogs continue to lend an undeserved mystique to the place by playing some of their worst football there on a semi-annual basis.
