Pretty cool graph on college game day curse and if it's real. I always thought it was Corso picking you that put the curse on your team. Wish we could find out that info

Alabama has 6 gameday loses at home? That's the most surprising.
I really think the whole gameday thing a non-issue.

If you believe in curses than you must also be a previous customer of Miss Cleo.

The Dawgs are 4-13 on College Game Day. That is pretty bad.

The only home Game Day win was 2013 against LSU 44-41!

I think they had only been once in like 10 years before that. They rarely go to athens

you act like they're here every year.
They took a 10 year hiatus, then another 5 after that. It's not like we've had that many chances. Oh btw, both of the losses were to teams that went undefeated in the regular season.

anyone who actually believes there is a "curse" based upon a pregame talk-show being somewhere on your campus on the same day your team plays a game is a moron.

Here are the games in Athens where Gameday was present:
98 vs. Tennessee-Loss (Tennessee goes on to national title)
08 vs. Bama-Loss (Bama goes 12-0 in regular season)
13 vs. LSU-Win (LSU goes 10-3)

I don't believe it that's why I showed this graph that states the home team wins majority of times. And that the games are usually against high profile teams that are very competitive. The worst part is the 0-6 neutral site record in guessing most of those games are against Florida in the WLOCP.

neutral sites that I can find:
02 jax
03 seccg
05 jax
12 seccg
Idk what 2 other neutral sites we've been at.

Two of those were to Georgia, in 2002 and 2007

Yea, frankly the "curse" is more along the lines of Georgia just losing big games. Corso didn't curse us, we just like to shite our britches when the whole nation watches.

Really, the most disgusting stat in all this is that CGD has only been to the best college town 3 times in 15 years. Truly, what BS.

I have heard many times that they don't have a good place to set up their show on our campus that is close enough to the stadium. We should probably be thankful for this or our Game Day record would likely be a lot worse. We haven't done well overall in big games that might have been Game Day worthy over the past 20+ years.
For the record, I don't think Game Day has anything to do with the disappointing big game record. I just think its good they haven't been there for more of them. Otherwise our reputation as big game chokers would be much more pronounced.
I know we have also mopped the floor with some teams we weren't expected to but those rarely seem to be valid options for Game Day. Always somewhere better to be.
