UGA-UF game may not stay in Jax after 2023; UGA polls its fans on what they want

Should the SEC go with the 1-7 scheduling model, Florida is the runaway winner as the rival most UGA fans would want to keep.
However, keeping the game in Jax is NOT the runaway choice of Dawgs fans...the majority want the game moved to Athens in years when UGA is the designated home team. When UF is the home team, Dawgs fans want Florida to play its game vs. UGA...in Jax. Interesting.
Most UGA fans have made it clear that they prefer the 3-6 scheduling model, however. Having the 3-6 model benefits both UGA & UF and are able to gain a home game that brings them up to par with the rest of the SEC.
But, Pat Dye and Auburn broke their long-standing tradition of playing Alabama in Birmingham in 1989, a tradition that had stood since 1904.
UGA & UF first played in Jacksonville in 1915 and have done so annually since 1933 w/the exceptions of 1994 & '95 when the old Gator Bowl was being renovated.
The World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party could be having final calls, too. We'll see.

UGA rivalries w/Florida & Auburn questioned w/SEC sched models; fans weigh in
Most of the other SEC teams have their most heated rivalry within the structure of the conference schedule.
That’s part of the reason why the Bulldogs have played five fewer home games than Alabama -- the team Georgia is trying to unseat atop the conference -- since Smart was hired in 2016.
As the future schedules project, UGA would play four fewer home games than the Tide over the next four years if the Jacksonville contract gets extended.

Didn’t know Twitter polls had that much power

Well no shite you want their Home game to be in JAX. Though that seems a weird to think you should get a home game while they get a neutral game.
For the sake of fairness to really everyone in the league, it should be a Home and Home.

Not going to Jacksonville sounds like a good thing to me. Stadium/city is a dump.

UGA hasn't polled me. Story is bogus.
Keep it in Jax.

They better not change that. That’s the closest place for me to see a UGA game live.

100 year old traditions just being flushed down the toilet left and right.

Sadly, I could see the rivalry going to home and home once the pod system is in place. Makes no sense to give up a home game in that format.
Most really enjoy Jacksonville. So it will be sad to go, but honestly I don’t see the benefit for either team keeping it there anymore other than an easy paycheck.
at UGA fans wanting it to stay in Jacksonville when it’s a Florida home game. Of course they would.

Unless the fans are the major donor they don’t matter

No "UGA" didn't. A sports writer asked on twitter.

This question pops up fairly regularly.
If it would help have more quality out of conference games, it might be worth letting this particular tradition go or at least go to a rotating home/home/JAX or a home/JAX/home solution.

I don't believe this, and the fans who want it moved are window licking retards.

I will chain myself to the pool inside Jacksonville's stadium until they confirm that tWLOCP will remain in its rightful home for eternity.
Jacksonville now, Jacksonville tomorrow, Jacksonville forever

If they move it, it would just be like any other game imo. Everyone seems to be all about themselves, so I am good with 0-8 and having no permanent opponents, so everyone plays everyone the same amount of times over a number of years.
You can't get much more fair than that.

Just more proof that Twitter needs to be shut down

JetDawg is Mike Griffith. Makes a lot of sense now

Don't we have a winning record in Jax?
I remember what happened the last time the game was in Athens.
Don't mess with tradition. Leave the game where it is.

OK I just read your link. You think that little twitter poll designates what Georgia wants? Come on man.

Conference rivalries shall be played at home stadiums.
Playoffs and bowl games shall be played at neutral sites.

Jacksonville is a damn shithole! I’ve never understood why they played it there anyway. Make it a home and home and be done with it.
