GA Tech to the SEC?

I get it. I’m an unreconstructed contractionist myself

But we all saw Mike slive surrender at Appomattox years ago and know that nothing ever gets tucked back in the bottle

It’s a Lost Cause

-we play tech every year anyway
-would add new dimension watching nerds try to run a 8 game SEC gauntlet

Ha ha! I read your post before you edited it.

Maybe having a glass of water between drinks might help. This humidity is crazy

Why do random front line college football fans all sound like they’re doing the bidding of the corporate fiends that have ruined this thing??

Why do you give a shite about “revenue”?

I want regional identity and hate wars between us. That’s what it’s built on

Not revenue

Do you want to know what the drunk fellow posted before he edited it?

It ties into this conversation well

I do not agree with dropping the GT game. That’s ludicrous.

We have 3 non-SEC games. We are not going to schedule two of them for Power conference teams most years. Plus, some years our conference schedule will be predictably very difficult and it would advantageous to add an easier mid-season opponent to break up the SEC grind. Nobody is going to make a brutal nine game conference schedule more difficult than it has to be; it damages your chances of making the playoffs and thus your football program. So we limit our schedule and our flexibility by playing GT every year. It locks up the last game of the season, thus compressing our conference schedule into tighter mid-season windows which may be contributing to the high number of post-bye week SEC opponents we're facing (double the league average for the last 2 years and this year). It decreases our number of home games (which is already reduced because of the UF game) and/or our national exposure. And it gives financial support to an in-state opponent which considers us their #1 rival and will use it to recruit against us.

All of that is ludicrous, Ideally we would just stop playing GT, but if that's unacceptable then we would be much better off playing them as one of our three annual conference games. It would be phenomenally stupid to vote no on both those options(drop or admit). Letting them join the SEC probably wouldn't pass anyway, because our SEC rivals are happy that we choose to damage ourselves by playing GT as a non-conf game. In this current competitive NIL/TP environment, UGA's home-state recruiting advantage is being drastically reduced. Other teams are targeting this state and our program with their money. Now that we've gone to nine SEC games, if the people in charge of UGA's football program can't look past "tradition" and see the negative consequences of an annual home/away non-conference GT game, UGA football is headed for a long decline.

The 9th conference game was so assinine.

College football can't get out of its own way
