First, it ain't all that neutral. Not by a long shot.
Second, it doesn't even make sense. It's not like Athens ----> Gainesville vs Jacksonville is going to save that much time.
Screw tradition. It ain't helping us either way. Also, Jacksonville is a pos town anyway.
You can have a cocktail party anywhere.
End it.

They better not end it before I have a chance to go.
Also, I'm in favor of it staying in Jacksonville. I like the 50/50 split

First, it is Neutral. There are as many fans in the So GA/No Fl area as there are Gators. Some of them can't get to Athens every year. Back we were on our streak of wins, UF claimed it was not neutral.
Second, it does make sense. It takes an already intense rivalry and magnifies it into a unique event with a 50/50 fan base. If you have ever been to one of the games, you know the tailgating and atmosphere is intensified.
Screw tradition. Get real. Respect tradition.
Jacksonville is so far from a pro town it's not funny. The Jaguars are second fiddle to the college teams, whether its UF, FSU, UGA, Miami or even Notre Dame. Half of the Jag fans are more connected with a traditional team like Pitts or Green Bay.

It should stay in Jacksonville. It's a great game to attend and the neutral site and tradition of the WLOCP make it something that most other fanbases don't get to experience. The location has nothing to do with who wins there.
quote:Wholeheartedly disagree. Tradition is a big part of why college football is what it is. That's part of why all these realignments suck so much, losing matchups that have been played for decades. You take the tradition out of it and you'll lose a huge part of what makes it special.
Screw tradition.

I'm on phone so can't tour near as much as I'd like to but will just say it should stay in jax forever

No fricking way, the game must remain in Jax. Myself & 50-60,000 other Dawg fans(20,000 of whom have no tix & go for the party) make this our last vacation of the year.
Enjoy your couch & beer while those of us who love this game & all the pomp, pageantry, tradition & special memories made(win or lose) in all these small towns that us Dawg fans take over for a week every year that continue to make this game special in the world of CFB...
quote:Very few Dawg fans stay in Jax. proper, we'll congregate at the landing on Thurs & Fri night but we're spread out from Tybee, St. Simon's, Jekyll Island, Sea Island, Fernandina Beach/Amelia Island, Jax Beach, Ponte Vedra, St Augustine etc...etc...
Jacksonville is a pos town anyway.
quote:That's what is wrong with CFB today... It's not just a "game" it's an event, hell, CBS has this game already scheduled as the 3:30 game of the week thru 2025,In my mind it's the official end of the summer & the start of fall/winter.
Screw tradition

It should stay in JAX.
I know cops are trying to ruin Frat Beach and all festivities in St. Simons, but as long as that's still going on it should remain in Jacksonville.

It should never leave Jacksonville. You either haven't been or haven't done it properly if you think otherwise.

Let's try a less emotional approach to this question:
Say the Jacksonville Jaguars franchise moves or goes under (which is not beyond the realm of possibility)....
Where would the WLOCP go after "everbank" field is leveled and turned into a series of parking garages?

You've either never been to the WLOCP or you're so old you've forgotten that it is the best weekend in the entire school year.

I Would love to see a home and home. Both stadiums are more worthy than jax.

Alternate it yearly between Jax and Atlanta.

The only issue I have is that the state of florida gets all the revenue for taxes on alcohol, hotel, etc. The location doesn't bother me much. It's 4 hours closer to gainsville though.

Jacksonville has been called the biggest city is south Georgia. Then again there isn't shite in south Georgia

I'm sure both schools are breathlessly waiting to hear our opinions so they can make their decision.
