Easier wins in Clarke Co than Lee County for OOC teams.


You know richt has only lost 1 OOC game in Athens, right? In 13 years.

The probably thought it was a much more winnable game yet against a well known SEC opponent giving them credibility.

Maybe they don't want to be reminded that they, too, hired a high school coach (Gerry Faust) and he was a complete failure.

I'll give you two reasons even though I like UGA.

1. UGA is the worst top half SEC team in OOC play. You guys royally screw up in OOC almost yearly.

2. They are trying to cut into Georgia for recruiting purposes.

Alabama was and is looking for opponents, I wonder why they didn't call us? Rumor has it Miami turned us down for 2017.

I wanna say Miami is currently in talks with LSU for a game in Dallas.

And ND really just wants into GA for recruiting. They don't play GT for a minute and we offer a better opponent anyway.

Plus it's just a different storyline. Bama/ND played just 2 years ago. We've only played once and it was for a national title. A home/home offers a unique storyline and a first ever meeting at home fields.

Probably because UGA is one of the few Big Six SEC programs that typically lose to big name out of conference teams.



And Alabama loses to nobody teams?

ULL
Utah

Like that?


He is an alter. You guys point at Georgia fans because of one guy? (Assuming he isn't an alter)

Match made in heaven. And I forgot to mention that, despite what was said in that other thread, Athens is easily reached by ND alums. I am sure there's a sizable amount of their alumni in ATL too.

You are correct. Just one is.

There are more Auburn fans posting about and starting threads about Georgia than the other way around.

70 miles from Atl to Athens


108 from Atl to Auburn


I will help you with the math equation. 108-70=38

It is 38 more miles to Auburn from Atlanta.

No you didn't. You started this thread because either you are completely obsessed with Auburn...or you want to make Georgia fans look even worse than we already do. I suspect you are either an Alabama fan or a Florida fan. If not, please switch to them.

This is accurate. ND would rather play UGA then LSU, Bama, Auburn, South Carolina. UGA has terrible record against out of conference teams and Richt has a hard time winning against a ranked opponents
