Football Update: Georgia-Clemson Series in jeopardy?

Georgia-Clemson Series in jeopardy?

Read Update »

Play the game!


Mar 7, 2012, 10:16 AM

Pittsburgh or Louisville for UGA, horrible!

This combined with the recent news that the Northern school want to play Fri night games is disgusting for Clemson football fans. So done with the ACC.

Please put the fans first and keep the UGA series.***

that would seem a sound business model


Mar 7, 2012, 11:19 AM

too bad they feel they have our money regardless and do what ever they want to the fans. I hope we keep the game but you can just see cancellation coming with the unnecessary 9 conf game idiocy

badge-donor-05yr.jpgringofhonor-74tiger.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

So is Clemson stuck paying the cancellation fee??


Mar 7, 2012, 11:47 AM

Its Swaffords cluster #### of a idea..Why dont they pay the fees associated with teams having to change their schedules..

PLEASE play this game!!!!


Mar 7, 2012, 10:48 AM

Georgia is one of Clemson's classic rivals that we haven't had the fortunes of playing recently. Was always a fun game, and I was really looking foward to playing it.

It took a while, but I've finally accepted the fact that Pitt and Syracuse are now in the ACC. However, games with Georgia, Auburn, etc. were bright spots. But for God's Sake, don't make me crawl through the mud......

This is a disappointment. Really. Dropping Georgia? Clemson needs to find a home that will not ruin college football.

Clemson UGA should play EVERY year.

Its not like we added a ton of strength to the ACC with Pitt and Syracuse.

Re: Football Update: Georgia-Clemson Series in jeopardy?


Mar 7, 2012, 10:58 AM

I can sort of see an argument for either. If you want strength of schedule, keep UGA, so we play the two most likely prominent teams in the SEC East. If you want secure wins though, and wanna pad that record, sure, let them go, but I'd rather take quality wins.

Re: Football Update: Georgia-Clemson Series in jeopardy?


Mar 7, 2012, 11:00 AM

What a load of crap. If we cancel the series with GA so we can play the likes of Pitt or Syracuse, I would say the majority of Clemson fans will be pretty disappointed. ACC expansion has not helped make football any more exciting. It looks like we will lose a great OOC matchup every year so we can play even more nobodies than we already do.

Some of the best games we ever played were against Georgia.
The rivalry has always been there. Still is.
Play the game please.

And just like I've posted, the 9-conference season is a

I have YET to consider punishing the Clemson Athletic Dept.


Mar 7, 2012, 12:18 PM

by reducing my contributions and support. This has been true through Tommy Bowden, through Dabo, through losing seasons, through everything... I have never even thought about reducing my support. But if Clemson cancels the series with Georgia then I will take action against the Athletic Deparment.

i bet you are one of those that demands the game then demands dabos head "if" we were to lose.

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

We have dropped 5 straight to them. Never even considered


Mar 7, 2012, 12:24 PM

reducing my support. The last one we lost 30-0. I didn't even call for Bowden to be fired, much less considered reducing support.

But... like I siad... if we cancel this long overdue series, I will take action.

badge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Well...I suggest you ready yourself for expedient action...


Mar 7, 2012, 1:16 PM

With the addition of Pitt and Cuse and the league going to a nine game conference schedule, there is a very strong likelihood that the series with UGa among others (Ole Miss and Oklahoma State) will get cancelled.

WAY TO GO, ACC!


Mar 7, 2012, 1:25 PM

Yet another boneheaded decision-- this one to adopt a completely unnecessary 9th conference game!

Swofford for President.

What a joke.

badge-donor-15yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

We can lose the revenue for ONE #### GAME for the fans.


Mar 7, 2012, 1:43 PM [ in reply to Well...I suggest you ready yourself for expedient action... ]

The Ad is full of crap if they pretend we can't afford the UGA game.

badge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

The AD will sacrifice those future match-ups....


Mar 7, 2012, 2:15 PM

so as to insure that Clemson will have at least seven (7) home games each season. At the end of the day, that's what it all boils down to.

But there is no reason is HAS to be that way. Everyone seems


Mar 7, 2012, 2:20 PM

so eager to say "ok, well I guess that justifies it."

That's bull####. We should not accept it. Fans are the reason college football exists. Do you really want to pay more for something that you want less? Do you really think it is impossible for AD's to realize it may be in their best interest to keep series like that? What the heck ever happened to supply and demand? The demand part is suddenly automatic?

badge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I'm telling you the reality of the situation....


Mar 7, 2012, 2:38 PM

The Athletic Department relies heavily on the revenue generated from the seven home games anually. If Clemson can still be guaranteed seven home games in 2014 when the return trip to Georgia is schedule, the game will likely be played. Otherwise, the series will likely get cancelled.

I'm telling you that the"reality" you speak of is not


Mar 7, 2012, 2:42 PM

"reality." It is a poor, short-sighted decision. "Reality" is that there are viable options that people are ignoring. This whole attitude that it's a given that keeping 7 home games (at all costs) is a sound financial decision is only definately true for the short term.

People need to shake loose of this status-quo dominated thinking.

badge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I didn't say I agreed with the philosophy....


Mar 7, 2012, 6:18 PM

but I can tell you the AD absolutely thinks it is a hard and fast rule.

I don't know about you, but I LOVE that we're going to swap


Mar 7, 2012, 1:59 PM

playing Georgia for Syracuse. It makes perfect sense. Syracuse is 1000 miles away, it's inside on astroturf, and the gameday atmosphere there rivals, oh I don't know, maybe Kent State. And just think of the recruiting edge we'll gain in Upstate New York because of that game instead of making more inroads in Georgia. I'm sure the high school kids from SC, NC and Florida are STOKED about joining a team that gets to play Syracuse instead of Georgia as well.


What a load of #### this conference is turning into.

UGA can bill Swofford.***

Re: Football Update: Georgia-Clemson Series in jeopardy?


Mar 7, 2012, 2:06 PM

Anyone that has ever considered CLEMSON moving to the SEC someday should be in favor of a CLEMSON-UGA game. Do NOT cancel it. If you're worried about SOS - then don't even consider moving to the SEC. You'd play a team like UGA every week (almost).

KEEP THE DANG GAME PLEASE!

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I think it would be mutual if series is dropped...


Mar 7, 2012, 2:41 PM

I believe the SEC will move to 9 games by 2013

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

we should rotate UGa and Auburn as our other SEC game
