You'll get a lot of "conference intensity" playing an out-of-conference team.
If you are looking for conference intensity, you are lucky to find it 3 games a year.
If you are looking for immediate conference intensity, you'd be lucky to find it once in your lifetime.
Conference scheduling is as exciting as a bingo card.
If you have evidence to the contrary (your great conference season openers or all of those memorable 4+ conference games a season), feel free to make your point. Otherwise, continue being pointless. Florida fans need to get used to taking the loss this season.

Look you can enjoy your Austin Peay game and complain the in-conference games are not that intense but the rest of the world will be laughing at you.

I do enjoy the cupcake games.
But I don't post on message boards about their intensity.
I actually like recruiting. And any recruitnik should enjoy seeing the plebes getting extensive reps. Otherwise, why follow recruiting?
Our freshmen stood out and won the national championship for us last season. Every rep matters for depth.
Edit to add: our freshmen got extensive reps in conference play too (because half of the conference is below average). We beat 7 conference opponents by 24+ a year ago. 3 of them by 30+
That said, you carefully ignore that UGA has no issue scheduling great OOC games. Like I said, our AD has a job (give the fans exciting OOC games, and he delivers).
Enjoy your bingo card of conference games this season. Only 3 of the 8 were able to amass 8+ wins a year ago. Talk about conference intensity!

Well this is ... a take, I guess?

Should I wait for a list of Florida's great in conference season openers?
Or list of 4+ great conference games in a season?
Or is waiting for you to actually make a point too big of an ask?
You can always tap out and just agree to disagree without ever making a point.

Are you dumb as hell? My point was right there: I'd rather see in-conference games that mean something than beating up on nobodies for "recruiting reps."

Nope. That wasn't your point. See below.

If there was one good thing about the 2020 season it was that immediate conference intensity from day 1.
And once they are freshmen playing for the university, it isn't recruiting reps. I can see the confusion for a fan base who doesn't know what to do outside of recruiting season. But it is called player development. And it beat Bama in a big game last season.
My point has always been that half of the conference is below average and that you can't find 4 great conference games a year for your team (3 tops) and probably can only find one great conference season opener in your lifetime.

This is a non-point. There are 130+ FBS teams and only about 10-15 of them are really good. It is an unrealistic goal - mathematically - to want 50-60 "good" games.
So ...
The intensity comes from the fact that in-conference games mean something. They count in standings. We're not playing Southwestern Utah Community College.

You're basically lobbying for an in-season preseason. No thanks.

You literally have no point.
You are excited about 3 score wins over pathetic conference opponents.
You literally missed the part where UGA opened last year versus Clemson and this year versus Oregon.
In 2020 week 1, we beat Arkansas by 27 (they finished 3-7).
In 2019 week 1, we beat Vandy by 24 (they finished 3-9).
Your "conference intensity" stance is a joke. Gimme the games that our AD schedules OOC every time all of the time.

As a Nits fan I am thinking this is not a good night to watch a game...lol. The offensive line is still bad, it was bad last year and there has been no improvement. Clifford isn't a great passer but he is tough, evidenced by the fact that he is still walking upright after playing behind 3 years of BAD offensive lines.
I still stand by my 6-6 regular season with a bowl loss to a MAC team prediction...6-7 with 9 more years of James Franklin.

Again, most of those are meaningless games against pushovers.
Yes, you opened versus Clemson and Oregon, but mathematically there can only be 5-10 of these games, which means most of the games are not going to be top-10 matchups.
You realize this, right? You know that the very nature of a top N means that there's only N available teams. Right?
So that leaves most of CFB. I argue that a conference game that means something is better than a non-conference game that doesn't.
And you still don't get that very simple point.

I came in here to see about Thursday night game talk and all I find is two retards arguing with each other

Rich, coming from an ole miss fan. As an LSU alum, too, let me be the first to ask you to please not punch down on the conference bottom feeders. It's too easy. Be above that.

But somehow UGA manages to do it over and over and over.
I've given you a lifetime of week 1 games to find me a great in-conference matchup for Florida.
UGA has 2 of them out of conference in 2021 and 2022 alone.
I also like how you fail to include 2014 Clemson, 2013 Clemson, 2011 Boise, 2009 Oklahoma St, 2007 Oklahoma St, 2005 Boise st, 2003 Clemson, and 2002 Clemson.
For some reason, UGA doesn't make it look so hard. A few phone calls. A few emails. And there is another one (2024 against Clemson).
It isn't difficult to beat out the bingo card rotation of conference games for "intensity" week 1.
Maybe we can just agree to disagree about what constitutes an intense college football matchup.

Ok but you can't disagree there is a small, finite opportunity for top teams to play because there's a finite amount of top teams.
So for the rest of the games I'd prefer if we went right into conference and you'd prefer we get mopup shite versus Duquesne or whatever.
I think you're gonna be on your own with that take.

I just listed 10 for UGA in the past 20 seasons.
I didn't even include season openers against UNC (who finished 8-5) which is still infinitely better than your Ole Miss example from 2020.
Hell, Florida is opening with Utah this year..
You think your 16 point win over an Ole Miss team without a winning record is going to be more intense than your game against Utah?
What about your season opener against Miami? Michigan?

11 out of the past 20 seasons, UGA is either playing a ranked opponent or against an OOC p5 team in the season opener.
Your concept of "rest of the games" is as flawed as your concept of "intense".

Holy shite you still don't understand that there are 130+ FBS teams.
