quote:

But, Pat Dye and Auburn broke their long-standing tradition of playing Alabama in Birmingham in 1989, a tradition that had stood since 1904.

Not telling the full story here...

Auburn did play Alabama in Bham from 1904-1907, BUT then did not play Alabama in Bham until 1948.... So we went 41 years without playing Bama in Bham The DSOR is our longest running rivalry and they may kill that. Auburn is in favor of a 3-6 with our three being Bama, UGA and Florida.

HOW can you admit that 71.5 miles from Gainesville isn't "in their backyard"?

Hell, people bi+ch that Atlanta is still "home" for UGA (71.8 miles)!

Terrible Terrible idea.

We got a crew of 12 guys, Gators and Dawgs that play golf Thursday, fish Friday, Big Tailgate Saturday. Why should we mess that up?

So when UGA is the home team it should be in Athens but when UF is it should stay in Jax? Wow. May as well change your primary color from red to yellow.

I prefer college football games to be played on campus in 99% of cases. The cocktail party is not one of them. That’s one of my favorite games each year, I’m not sure what it is about it being in Jacksonville but that’s where it belongs.

So because 39% of 1283 votes of Twitter which has a much more younger liberal following says they want it moved. The majority of fans want it moved?

Put it this way, the game ain’t moving.
Why? 2 reasons!

1. UGA makes more more with the game in Jacksonville, twice as much.
2. The impact of the south ga and coastal economy. Also, the amount of big donors in south ga want the game in Jax.

The only ones who complain about the game with all their spins of what Smart said or other reasons; only really want it moved for 1 selfish reason. It’s not included in their season tickets. They don’t want to drive from Atlanta to the game and they prefer to have it in Athens for their own personal gain!

ITS NOT MOVING!!!

and Mike Griffith is a complete idiot!

The list recruiting big game and all the other non sense is bull.
Why?
Because, UGA is the designated Home team for its 3 biggest rivalries in the same year, so last year when they were the designated visitor for all 3 , we go and schedule a neutral site game. Recruiting weekends must not be that important!

UGA needs a to move one of the rivals , specifically Auburn who the SEC let play back to back home games against UGA the last expansion, back to the opposite year. And that fixes this problem.

Just one more good thing is gonna be flushed down the shitter I guess. No more "property being destroyed down there in St. Simons Island and Jeckle, and all those places Dawg fans keep their money in state" on Cocktail Party week. Breaks my heart, and that ain't no joke. Maybe co-cola can build a 90,000-seat American football-only stadium down here in Costa Rica just for that game only each year.
