Pretty much....and you said something that I posted was dumb.

One of the most important aspects of this game - huge exposure in one of the most important recruiting areas in the country. Home and home doesn't give you what this game does in terms of exposure in the Atlanta area.

More people tailgate than don't, look at the number of people at any given SEC game who only tailgate and don't even go into the game. You also don't have to have a vehicle to live out of to tailgate, all you need is a cooler and some chairs

We need to start opening with top 10 other conference teams to knock them out of the playoffs and show our dominance. Shut the talking heads up.

FSU
OSU
Oregon
TCU
ECT

I'm getting tired of neutral site games, but I can handle this one if it's going to be in the new dome.

Better for who? Certainly not the loyal bread&butter season ticket holders ! These neutral site games are purely a money grab...nothing more !

Every once in a while OK....but year after year !!!!

Can we open a season anywhere but Atlanta or Dallas? I guess with it being in the new dome I will still go but they need to get a tad more creative with the site selection. This sounds like the same trip I've done 7 times in the last 7 years

Can we schedule a game @ Colorado so we can go to Denver? How about a game @ Washington so we can go to Seattle? Going to Atlanta and Dallas every year is getting old.

Folks, let's face it...we have become spoiled elitists. I mean getting tired of powerhouse matchups in the top venues advertised for months on national tv opening the new college football season.....man, please.

It's the same 2 venues year after year. I'd rather have a home and home with Oklahoma, Washington, Oregon, UCLA, etc. than yet another game in Atlanta or Dallas.

At least it's someone new instead of Virginia Tech yet again. I am tired of playing ACC teams, though. We just played FSU around 2007.

I'll agree with that. I'd like to see a game in N.O. against a Big-12 team or a game out in the midwest against a Big-10 team.

Must be going to be a opening weekend of sorts.

Tennessee and Georgia Tech have been negotiating a game that weekend in the new Falcons stadium as well.
