you sure seem excited about having to play a top 10 opponent on the road at night. Personally I'd rather play at 10am.

Hell yeah. I’m a fan, not Kirby. Give me the biggest stage, the most pageantry, and the highest stakes.

I ain’t here to play football! I’m here to cheer!

Kirby's only taken two four-quarter arse whoopings in road games in his entire career, and they were the two times he played in Oxford. Nutty stat.

It’s also a wrong stat. See LSU in both 2018 and 2019.

Other than those 16 years UGA has owned the Gators almost as thoroughly as UGA has owned Kentucky and Vandy.

Enough already.

Look up the all-time series. They have 44 victories.

Look at the 50’s and 60’s. They handily owned the series in those decades back-to-back. (‘49-‘59 UF 7-4 over UGA; ‘60-‘70 UF 7-3-1 over UGA).

I hate Florida more than you, but I don’t act like a petty liar when we win.

It’s great this is a rivalry. It’s be one since the ‘20’s. It’s alive and well

quote:

Sure. But teams are canceling Clemson, FSU, and Louisville. And why?

Because the goal isn't to win a game in September. The goal is to win games in January.

When the regular season doesn't matter and the biggest goal for the head coach and athletic department is good health in January, why would any team schedule 2 P4 OOC games?

---

We all know why *the ADs* are doing this. It’s definitely not for the fans

quote:

---

we'd try to also schedule an Oregon/Clemson/Notre Dame.

---

This is disingenuous. You should compare the 9th conference game to the lowest-revenue earning non-con game. That is the legitimate trade-off. Canceling a high-revenue earning game is the part that the AD is choosing.

There are 3 other non-con games we also schedule. Given one is GT, there are two slots we’re totally free to select an opponent beyond the game you cite (i.e. the Oregon/Clemson/Notre Dame premier FBS non-con opponent slot). In those slots, UGA like everybody else schedules cupcakes.

A 9th SEC game is better for fans, and better for revenue, than a non-con cupcake game

LSU broke them.

Hah, NO. Georgia broke them in 2021.

Dabo's clearly coaching to get fired now and take home his buyout. Too much of a sad loser to resign with any dignity

quote:

---

the SEC can’t go through 9 wars a season with a high profile OOC opponent to boot and then expect to be healthy enough to be serious contenders in the playoff. All this while the other power leagues play in way softer conferences that allows them to play in games that they can get big leads in and then pull the starters for a few qtr a year.

---

This is *my* point. The playoff is vastly overrated. Precisely because the gauntlet of the SEC is so much harder than running through teams from other leagues in the playoff.

Thus, win the SEC. By winning your challenge each week, week after week. That is the prize. The success in the journey itself.

This is the perspective that nearly all of college football fandom and media has lost.

In before they start saying this about Kirby

---

I want to watch the best teams go against each other as close to 100% as possible for all the marbles

---

I want to watch these teams go against each other in weeks 1 - 10, not in mid-January.

That sounds like the difference in our opinions. Although, also in my opinion, prioritizing beating some “team like Indiana who has rested their starters all year” in the last week of the post-season seems pretty overrated and not even an accurate gauge of “the best teams going against each other”.

Give me UGA-OU, UGA-Bama, UGA-Auburn, and UGA-FL back-to-back-to-back-to-back every year, please
