re: '18 home schedule...

You need a few rent-a-wins for kids. You don't want to pay $1000+ for four seats together with your family, only to have your diaper bag sitting in a river of whiskey and dip spit. And the kids like to see Georgia win, don't want them all pissed off and looking for other teams to be a fan of.

And in the bigger picture of college football, those payouts to the little schools are what keeps their athletic programs going. Most college athletes aren't at top 25 schools. Most college athletes are at smaller schools who wouldn't be able to survive without these games. If all the big schools stopped playing the little schools, the little schools would all die. That's bad for business, bad for all those kids on scholarship.

Those games got us Zilch because our team was Zilch.

This.

And quitting counting on Georgia tech because you all know as well as I do that in a lot of years it would be equally difficult to play Georgia Southern. More times than not, that's easier than most of our conference games.

Why are we so afraid to play real teams? I want to see Georgia playing in big-time games and we don't get a lot of those in the East.

If you wanna go 12-0 against Florida, Auburn and a bunch of creme puffs, only to get our shite pushed in when actually play somebody, be my guest.
