So, per you, WLOCP is ALWAYS a road game for UGA?

Guess you missed the "NON-CONFERENCE" wording.

Why is this eating you up so much? UF hasn’t had an away OOC out of state game in a ridiculously long time.

Playing in the SEC with an ACC rival isn’t an excuse - it hasn’t stopped us or UGA.

Having 2 P5 OOC in state opponents isn’t an excuse - both FSU and Miami have gone out of state since fricking 1991.

There’s no reason for you to get so upset or do all these mental gymnastics for a simple scheduling fact that doesn’t exist for pretty much any other school.

but i laugh at those who think there is a need to leave the state for an out of conference game. It just isn't true.



& we laugh at you for not being willing to leave the state. That's saying "I'll play anybody anytime anywhere...as long as it's on MY turf & we play by MY rules".

Miami and FSU play shite schedules though. Without an out of conference opponent they might play 2 or 3 tough games all year. Hell even with that it's probably still weak.

UF is always at the top in strength of schedule and this year it's pretty fricking brutal. It's actual proof that it's not necessary.

Without Utah we would still be top 5 in sos. Certainly tougher than most of your schedules.

In the next decade we've got NC State, Colorado, Arizona State, Cal, and Notre Dame scheduled away. True away games. We had Texas scheduled before they joined the SEC. We'll still play FSU every year and we have UCF and Miami sprinkled in.

You know, you Georgia retards keep laughing at LSU and say we're living in history over the 2019 team, but your "P5" opponent's signature bowl game was almost a decade ago, and they've only bowled twice since then.

Tulane is a better program than Georgia Tech.

As long as they kick a FG the fan base will be happy.

Uga fans throw shade at Florida, but get off hook because once upon a time they drove 75 miles up the road and played Clempson....

It is true. It's misleading as a negative because of your instate rivals but it is true.


neutral games arent road games


95% of the stats posted on here are misleading. I think it's the sole job of network interns to feed trolls misleading factoids.

Who gives a shite? Every year some dumb frick post this same shite. It’s been discussed over and over. UF plays FSU each year and has to play UGA away from Gville. Foley stuck to his guns on keeping the extra home game. Get rid of FSU each year and we could play a lot of other teams but the FL legislature would not allow it.

The real question is what team has had the hardest schedule the last 30 years and consistently it’s UF. Our championships were all earned albeit a long fricking time ago.

Yeah, don’t see why this is a big deal. Why should teams schedule long trips away out of conference?
No one in the SEC does this regularly. Who cares?

For a while it was "they don't travel out of state for non conference games!"

Then when we did that it was "they don't travel out of state for TRUE ROAD non conference games!"

Now it will be "they don't travel out of state for TRUE ROAD non conference games in the Pacific time zone!"
