Per UGA Live Twitter.

Clemson's Dabo Swinney wants to renew old rivalry: “If it were up to me, we'd play UGA every yr. Just makes sense.”

I don't know about every year but 2 of 4 wouldn't be bad.

Way more to gain for them. Not really surprising.

that is certainly true, but I'm surprised he'd mention this considering their big in state rival is OOC as is ours. That means that only leaves them 2 games against cupcakes to practice on. Throw in a kickoff classic here or there or a random OOC game (like us with ND) and you've essentially got 1 game out of 12 that you can breathe a little easy. Taht would suck.

We play GT and Auburn every year as rivals. Adding another annual rivalry game seems a bit much to me. I'd be fine doing a home-and-home every so often.

Playing them 2 or 4 times per decade is perfect IMO.

Yup... H & A twice every 8 years is plenty. If we hamstring ourselves yearly with CU & gt we'll miss a lotta opportunities for better marquee OOC games...

2 out of 4 would be perfect. I miss the rivalry and the great games. It does just make sense in those terms.

If you want to win a NC however, it makes no sense at all.

Exactly right. Beating Clemson does very little for us in a low population state. However, Clemson must have Ga recruits to be competitive.

Home and Home every few years would be fine.... but annually... Heck.... We already have to face a gauntlet every year...
