So instead of driving to Clemson (an hour and a half) you believe they drive into Atlanta, charter a flight, land and drive into Clemson? That’s your official stance?


We have been flying direct out of Athens since 2015. We bus to Atlanta for games in Atlanta (not to get to Hartsfield).

Let me introduce you to our new head coach Mark Richt.

Wrong. Tell you what, you wanted credit for your OOS neutral site games over that time..list them.


Since 2012 UGA has scheduled how many OOC games in Charlotte?

2018 vs West Virginia
2017 vs GaTech
2016 vs VaTech
2015 BGU was in Nashville doesn’t count
2012 vs NCST

Added to 2014 @Oklamoha 2022 @Pitt and @2013 Oregon.

Vols travel, play OOC games out of state, UGA tried it and went back to kissing their cousins. It is what it is no way to spin it.

1 vs Clemson in 2021.

That’s a real murderers row..and VT was in Bristol TN, a short bus ride away from your campus…so doesn’t count.

Congrats on playing in the Chik Fila kickoff games, just as UGA has..except we faced tougher opponents.

Vols play less quality OOC opponents and generally lower quality opponents..no way to spin it.

@Oergon and @Pitt with multiple out of state “neutral” site games.


quote:

@Notre Dame and that’s it. That’s the only road trip UGA has taken. Everything else has been a home game or kissing your cousins GaTech or Clemson.


1. You give Tennessee credit for neutral site games but not Georgia?
2. You can't magically make GT and Clemson go away. We played them, and GT has probably given us a harder time than Tennessee the past 10 or so years.
3. The thread title and RD Dawg both said OOC games, NOT OOC road games.

quote:

And let’s be honest Memphis is a better program than GaTech the last 20 years or so.

GT might have been a better game than Tennessee, so what is your point? I would be willing to bet GT is close to Tennessee.
In fact, GT has 134 wins and Tennessee has 129 wins in the last 20 years.

quote:

So even using your timeframe UGA is shown to be lacking.

Only when you twist facts and make assumptions.

quote:


Why is UGA collectively afraid of getting on a plane and playing anyone?
Which was not the point of the OP or RD Dawg. So are you just trying to move the goalposts to suit your narrative?

The next time you decide to make fun of GT, just keep in mind they have been better than Tennessee the last 20 years.

I give neither school credit for in state “neutral site” games.

Not attempting to, but someone once said variety is the spice of life and while other programs are giving their fans unique and varied experiences with interesting road games, UGA seems to only want to kiss their cousins in Atlanta and Clemson. That’s what the thread is about.

Ok. UGA is happy being a regional brand, duly noted. At least embrace it and stop pretending it’s something more than that.

Ignorant statement, I’m shocked.

quote:

No facts were harmed by my statement, only your false feelings that UGA actually does OOC P5 home and homes that require more than a couple hours on a bus.

quote:

A UGA poster framed and redefined the case without knowing what they were talking about. Take your concerns to them.

quote:

I do not fake fun of GaTech, in fact I would support them rejoining the SEC just like UGA fans and AD does based on how often y’all play and UGA posters support them. But to believe they are equal to or God forbid ahead to Tennessee is a gross mistake.


Are we done or do you wish to continue?

I guess UCLA for 2025 isn’t a new place after we won the national title there in 2022.

Maybe we should go back to Arizona or Colorado or notre dame or Oklahoma or try Florida state?

How come most of those years only have one power 5 opponent? That’s pretty bad, should be at least 2 most of those years.

Besides, it’s not new because our 2022 explosive offense already owns that city, and our 4th stringers got into that game too. All of your Narratives were killed that day.

Maybe we should go back to:

Arizona
Colorado
notre dame
Oklahoma
Or try Florida state?

We've traveled to notre Dame, Arizona St, Oklahoma St, and Colorado. We have games lined up with UCLA, FSU, and Ohio St (games lined up with both Oklahoma and Texas got cancelled)

I much prefer playing Clemson than Tennessee. They are a much better rivalry and frankly a much better football program the past 10 years.
I'd piss on the Vols, South Carolina, and Vandy to get more games with Clemson.

You seem to forget Tennessee going to double overtime with a shitty 5-6 Georgia Tech program in 2017. If Memphis is better than Georgia Tech, what are you honestly saying about Tennessee?
quote:

does OOC P5 home and homes that require more than a couple hours on a bus


The "bus" add on is called a melt.
When we do more home and homes by a very large sum, only someone melting tried to make excuses and qualifiers to hide their shame.

quote:

But to believe they are equal to or God forbid ahead to Tennessee is a gross mistake.

Do you prefer 1 point better in double overtime? Is that the qualifier that helps your program sleep at night?
If I were you, I would be terrified to play GT. Talk about a lose lose situation. Win by 1. Lose by 1. In both situations, you are a loser.

Over the last twenty years you’ve won damn near the same amount and percentage of games, the same number of “Big” bowl games, they’ve played in more “Big” bowl games, they’ve won more division and conference titles, and when you played them head to head it went to double OT and you won by 1 point. It might hurt to hear it but GT and UT are the same tier of opponent over the last 20 years.

They have been a more successful program than UT this century.

Stop putting Gt on a pedestal like they’re a power 5 team. They haven’t been relevant in 10 years. UGA plays no one pawl


GT has won a NY6/BCS bowl in the last 10 years (Orange Bowl). There are a lot of P5 schools who've been less relevant than that the last decade that others crow about putting on their schedule.

4 whole OOC games? ND was 2017, Colorado was 2010, OKST was 2009, ASU was 2008.

It looks like y’all tried it and decided to wasn’t for UGA and abandoned the concept. But kudos for trying it for a couple years in the programs century long long existence I guess. I guess y’all prefer being a regional team, probably saves money for the school and allows your fans to visit their cousins more.


yes, in addition to playing a road game every other year that you don't want to count because it's too close for your tastes. And two road games at clemson (2003, 2013) and a neutral site against them (2021). And a netural site against Oregon (2022). And UNC (2016). With future road games against Clemson (twice.. 2029 and 2023), Louisville (2026), UCLA (2025), NC State (2034), Florida State (2027) and Ohio State (2031). Another Neutral with Clemson as well (2024) And two cancelled series with road games against Oklahoma and Texas and a cancelled neutral site game against Virginia in 2020.

And of course that OOC road game UGA has every other year with GT.

UGA has the best OOC scheduling in the conference and it's not even all that close.

LSU plays in the west. Our schedule is already tough enough.

I fail to see how adding a bottom feeder like Georgia Tech would make a difference.
