Several ideas have been presented unofficially to correct the hiccup in the schedule. One idea is to move the Georgia game to earlier in the season, though no discussions have been had in an official capacity

Just let UGA get two home games in a row so it’s offset from the Iron Bowl.

Best idea is for 2 games in a row in Athens. We want it.

This.

It fricks up Georgia's schedule as well. We had Tennessee, Auburn and Tech all on the road last year. That's our three biggest traditional annual home-and-homes and it leaves our off year home schedules dry.

Getting Auburn on those off years would be a massive boost.

Not a chance in hell we're going to sign off on that, but McGarity isn't too bright.

Ideally, you should get 2 home games per month, at least one traditional rival at home per year and then the rest (non-conference home-and-jones, rotating cross-division games) will work themselves out.

Georgia and Auburn's home schedules get screwed every other year because of that one hiccup.

If it benefits Georgia in any way, I am 100% against it.

You sure you don't want to play Georgia in ATL again? I thought it was a blast

This past year we all know healthy AU would have blown uga out, same as before. Next time it happens we may have to play a more competitive uga team where just being healthy may not be enough for us.
