I'm thrilled about the upcoming home and home with Notre Dame, and there have been rumors about a game against FSU in the Dome for a while. What other games would you like to see UGA schedule outside of the SEC/Tech?
In general my philosophy for scheduling (assuming we keep the 8 game SEC schedule and keep Tech) would be to add one challenging game per year. It doesn't have to be Texas, USC or Ohio State (although I'd enjoy that occasionally) just a name team that would generate excitement. With that in mind, I'd love a home and home with UNC, Penn State, and Virginia Tech.
Who else?

U of Miami (Hate them)
U of Oregon
U of Hawaii (Recruiting tool...what kid wouldn't want to go to Hawaii?)
Also agree about USCw, Ohio State and USC...from time to time it would be interesting.

Louisville just so we can stick it to Todd Grantham. Plus I think it would be cool beating a team with JHC and Wiggins since they didn't want to do things the GA way.

Nebraska would be awesome again soon. Just kidding....... 
two years in a row is enough for my lifetime.
Texas or Oklahoma would be cool. Not big on traveling much further west than that though.

*ND - Coming soon
*MI - Home and home. Love to see red & black in the Big House
*TX - Good for recruiting
Tech - Twice in one season
* not all of these the same season

Not understanding this one? You mean face them in a bowl after the Thanksgiving weekend beatdown?
UNC is the one I'm most interested in. Great college town, nearby, a team we should handle pretty well, etc. Just seems like a natural fit all the way around. Although they may be about to get hammered by the NCAA.

I don't follow. I don't think we take recruits on away trips and even if we do, no way we'd pay for a kid to go to Hawaii.

SEC slate is tough enough imo. Was dying to see the Dawgs vs USCw in the rose bowl a few yrs ago. Instead the rose bowl effed it up and took the fighting Zookers from Illinois. USC won by 40 and we had an epic beatdown on Hawawii. I HATE the big 10 and the rose bowl. Eff them and ND.

I was really hoping for the home and home with Ohio St staying in play. I really hate the Phuckeyes

It was tongue-in-cheek. I can never get too much of seeing engineering students from Asia painting themselves in yellow, donning yellow wigs, trying to make sense of football.

He meant getting recruits to sign on by promising a trip to Hawaii when we go to play them in the future

UNC
NCST
Da U
BC
VT
Colorado
UW
SMU
Tons of schools but I don't want to play top 25 since we're already in the SEC and have to play GT every year.

I could live with a 2 for 1 with SMU or TCU. There are a lot of Dawg alums in that area and it'd be a good trip, but again, it'd need to be two in Athens and one there for it to be feasible IMO.
I'm generally not a fan of the modern "neutral site games" that are becoming popular (talking about LSU vs. Wisconsin in Houston type of thing, not WLOCP) but what would yall think about something like UGA vs. Michigan or Ohio State in Nashville? On campus is better than the sterile "kickoff classic" things but it might be interesting to play a northern team halfway in Nashville.

I don't think we need to do the neutral site games to start the season since we're already in a fertile state for recruiting.

Wish OSU would have stuck. However, rumor is that Wisconsin is in talks for a h/h with an SEC school. I think that would be a great get.

Wisconsin would be all right. My only hesitation is that I've seen us play them twice Bobo's last game and Pollack's last game. Don't get me wrong it'd be better than another round with Nebraska or Michigan State.

Oregon in 2017 and 2018 would be great
Posted on 7/31/14 at 8:32 pm to Dawg in Beaumont
UNC, Virginia, Miami would all be cool regional OOC games.
I'd like to see us go out west again to somewhere like UCLA, Stanford, Washington etc

Would love to go to Camp Randall...heard the place rocks.I'd take it over a road trip to OSU or ND.
Chapill Hill would be a pretty good raod trip as well.
