was just saying that usually UF uses Jax as an excuse for losing the revenue from a home game and thats why they cant play out of state or against BCS ooc teams because they cant afford to do home/home
Not sure if anyone has said that UF "can't afford" a home and home. I would cost more for us, just like it would cost more to travel to a OOC game out of state. There isn't enough profit to justify the loss. So as long as OOC teams are willing to travel to Gainesville, which they always will be, we have little need to travel.
I have no doubt any of the big SEC schools could do the same, we just get the heat because we did it first.

I've never heard this from a UF fan. It's not why we don't have an OOC game.
For the last time, Foley likes the additional revenue. He built the girls lacrosse team a brand new stadium. He likes chit like that. It sucks but it is what it is.

Yeah, but he has three really big red flags on said resume. Legitimized WVU with an inexcusable Sugar Bowl loss. Legitimized Boise with an inexcusable season opening loss (in UGA's defense, they did wax them in Athens). Only put a 13 point margin of victory on an FSU team with crippling suspensions and a WR playing QB.
bleah
WVU and Boise were good teams, UGA almost came back and beat WVU after coming out just asleep at the start of that game.
and they beat FSU, idc about the margin not being punitive enough.
If you want to rag on UGA do so for the UCF and Colorado losses

Every SEC team has revenue issues with regards to home games vs OOC road games, but as with LSU over the past few yrs, playing at UWV, Va.Tech, Washington, A&M and Oregon in Dallas, it can be done. Fla. just won't. Put the gators at any of those road games & look at how good a game it would be.

It is a rare occasion I find myself disagreeing with you, good sir. However, in re: WVU that team wasn't near as good as getting down 21-0. Also, the whole fake punt everyone in the world saw coming was inexcusable. Let's not forget they gave up 382 yards rushing, 200 to Slaton. Boise, for all the love they have received (much justified), they have lost to some pretty average teams the last two years. TCU and Nevada the year before. :ib4TCUwasgoodlastyear:. They weren't.
Finally, if you can't beat a team that suited up Anquan Boldin at QB to absolute death, you failed. Simple as that.

I would love a decent OOC trip if even every few years just for the experience of seeing a different place. Sadly, it's not happening.

Without looking anything up cause I'm lazy, I believe they canceled a home and home with Tennessee too a few months back.

Yep. The more this goes on, the fewer intersectional matchups there will be. Fans ought to hate these crappy cupcake matchups -- yet that's all we're going to be left with.

hi badass, I went to the game too and I don't see any way this was a "red flag". Our defense was stifling. We had a 50 yard pick 6. Musa ran all over them for about 130 yards. Our freshman, backup QB threw a TD. Anyone who watched that game saw that the outcome was never in doubt. We doubled up their score in a frickin BCS bowl, if that's a red flag then idk
And it's not our fault that Chris Rix is a tard. Yet another example of people (well, actually just you) getting upset at UGA over something beyond their control.

Since you were at the game and all, I'm sure you remember that Boldin didn't start that game at QB. He only came in for Fabian Walker (former Mr FL football I THINK) after we made him look like garbage.

FSU is 1-5 in BCS bowl games. You played them the one time they didn't have a legitimate QB. I am allowed to draw whatever conclusions I want from that performance. The UGA defense was good. They also gave up a 40 yard TD pass to a WR. Boldin might have had another if Gardner (I think? maybe Thorpe?) doesn't drop it.
ETA: Fabian Walker threw two picks and a TD to, guess who, Anquan Boldin. He was so bad, they preferred to go with a WR for the rest of the game. Also, we have the benefit of hindsight to tell us Fabian Walker never did anything. I guess he gets credit for being a trivia answer.

It was pretty obvious to anyone who watched the FSU Sugar Bowl that Richt took his foot off the gas early and often so that he wouldn't embarrass his mentor ole Bobby (he had just come from FSU a year earlier).
At no point in that game was UGA in any danger of losing. It was a craptastic FSU squad for sure but it was not much of a game.

How is this UGA's fault? Rix was hardly what I would call a legit QB anyway.

Yet the game still was never in doubt. We were up 23-7 when they made that throw. We had much closer games throughout the 2002 season than this one and our offense didn't even try to do anything.

That was left over from an addendum I was writing about the WVU game.
No one said who the QB was was your fault. We are talking about your performance in light of that. I'm not sure why anyone cares to try and convince me of the "impressiveness" of that win. Celebrate it. You had a better win in Atlanta, and, to me, the Sugar Bowl is a blight on Richt's OOC record.

You seriously listed Georgia Tech? Richt is 10-1 against them.
Anyway, we we've beaten half of those teams anyway and have represented the SEC well in bowl games.
Maybe Florida would lose an OOC game if they played one outside the state of Florida.
Ohio St says hi.

Must have been super early. It was 10-7 with 6 minutes left in the half and 17-7 at half. It was 23-13 going into the final quarter. It isn't as if Richt was up 26-0 and backed it off so he wouldn't embarrass the man that converted him to Christianity. I do think that he probably would have preferred not to embarrass him, but UGA cannot be said to have thoroughly ran away with the game at any time, in my opinion.
