Unnecessary, they have plenty enough recruiting ammo without going to california for a meaningless game.
Damon Evans wanted to "increase the national brand" of UGA by playing away games at Arizona State, Oklahoma State, and Colorado. Our recruiting didn't really improve because of it, the games didn't help at all, and it royally fricked up our travel/body clocks.
UF does it right, IMO. Play the SEC, play your big OOC game (FSU), and the rest cupcakes. After all wins and losses are all that count, so why not add more wins?
Good points. I was thinking about it more from a fan's perspective. I know UGA fans were fired up about those trips.

I went to all 3. Had a great time, I'll always remember those trips. Still doesn't change the fact that it would have been exponentially better for our football team to just play a mid major at home though.
