I’d be ok with LSU playing @ Bama more, we have better success there than TS

Wait until he hears about Georgia's 2022 schedule that only included 4 (out of 15) true road games — against South Carolina, Missouri, State, and Kentucky.

(BTW, they beat Missouri by 4 and Kentucky by 10.)

It’s been ten years since bama has played in Athens.
Georgia has been to Tuscaloosa 2x in the last 4 seasons. 2020 and 2024.

Kirby is right. It hasn’t happened since he’s been the head coach at UGA.

Has UGA played Aggie at College station since Aggie joined the SEC 13 years ago?

and prior to 2020, UGA hadn't played in Tuscaloosa in 14 years.

unbalanced division schedules created long periods between schools making trips to each other.

South Carolina finished 8–5 and had lost the previous week to Arkansas, who finished 7–6.

I would put forth that "ranked" is a bit disingenuous.

Well yeah, I mean they’ve basically exclusively played them in T-Town or Atlanta and you know how accessible Atlanta is for people in central Alabama, home field actually means something in college football, dawg

Slightly bad look for Kirby, but it’s not like UGA-Alabama in Atlanta is a de facto home game for UGA. There are a lot of Alabama fans in Metro Atlanta, and Birmingham, where the highest concentration of Alabama fans live, is only two hours away. The games in Atlanta are always 50/50.
