The President of UGA can suck it. He better keep his tobacco stained tooth on his side of Lake Hartwell. I'll kick him dead in the beans just like any other inbred leg humper I see here in Sept.

Booooo!! Why would the SEC want to go to 9 conf games?
May 3, 2013, 12:29 PM
|
|
They already "beat up on each other" 8 times a year, why would they want to go to 9? Surely they'd rather play soft non-SEC teams

If everyone else goes to 9, they will eventually have to do the same, IMO.

Who else is adding another? Not trying to be smart a** -- I really don't know. Seems like I heard the Big 12 is going to 9 conf games.

Vince Dooley essentially "eliminated" the Clemson rivalry
May 3, 2013, 12:32 PM

years ago when chickentech joined the SEC (he stated UGa wouldn't play both the chickens and Clemson every year), and now this clown is doing the same thing.......

UGA dropping the Tigers
May 6, 2013, 12:31 PM
|
|
At the time UGA dropped us Dooley said they needed to play another SEC school -the following year they added William & Mary to take our place on their schedule! The record for this rivalry during the 10 years we played them was 5-5.

I get a rivalry and all with Ga Tech, but if they are going to make some posturing like they will take the trade off for strength of schedule, Clemson would be the ACC team to put your money on.

If you can get to a national title game without playing a big-time OOC game, why would you schedule such a game? It'd be against your interest to do so.

More than that, it's financial logic
May 3, 2013, 4:10 PM
|

If you play 9 conf games + 2 rivalry type games (i.e. UGA playing GT & Clemson) that equates to 11 games that are home and home series. This only allows you one game to schedule as a home game every season. The rest are locked in at some combination of 6 and 5 (6 home / 5 road one year, 5 home 6 road the next). This means that every other year you can only play 6 home games and athletic departments have gotten far too accustomed to the revenue streams that comes from playing 7 every year - I doubt they are willing to give that up. So what you get with a 9 game conf schedule is 9conf + 1 other home & home series. This gives you the 2 open games to schedule for home games.

I guess we messed too much with their recruiting.

It's becoming a different school than it was 30 years ago. Like USC, it is progressively becoming more and more a majority women's college. There's nothing wrong with that (especially since for single guys), but it tends to change the culture a bit.

Isn't this pretty much what ACC teams were saying back...
May 3, 2013, 12:39 PM
|
|
...when the ACC was going to 9 games weren't we noting it would probably mean the end of home & away series against stronger competition?
All of this crud is coming from the "need" to expand to these super-conferences. I will gladly take going back to 9 team conferences. But that ship has sadly sailed.

May 3, 2013, 12:40 PM

to play all tough teams if a team like Alabama plays no one out of conference and gets to a championship game and played absolutely no one out of conference. thats 3 easy W's that they didn't have to work for and no one calls them out on it. So...result = National Championship game.

think about some of the big games we've played over the last 3 years--3X against Auburn, 1X LSU and now 2X UGA. Folks that is PRIME EXPOSURE and it helps your team get better to play these type of games against good (or perceived as good)competition. It helps recruiting. It builds excitement.
We got our schedule back to 8 to make room for these type of games. If every team schedules Furman and SC State to make revenue -- it is a racket. Just go back to playing a 10 game schedule -- the fans don't needs the fillers.
Clemson needs great out of conference games to make Clemson better in an ACC where we sold our soul for a GOR. Oh hell, I can't say anything more right now except THIS SUX!

to play them in a ooc game. I will take other big teams in the Valley but the preference would be a Southern showdown there.

We Need To Hook Up With Another Team.

[ in reply to I'll tell you another thing . . .this stuff hurts us because ] |

Its simple but its not simple. It has only been long awaited that we play all these power teams in the south region to make lots of money and have that good southern competition between high profile programs. If UGA is having problems we need to find another that won't have problems scheduling tougher competition. I personally don't want 3 lower tier cupcakes on our schedule anymore.
Lets look at other teams like a Tennessee, a Vanderbilt, a Miss. State, a Florida, or an Arkansas. Lets go out west and take on Arizona St., San Diego St., Fresno St., Washington, or Utah. Lets make it a home and home rotation.
Didn't the B1G Ten just announce not too long ago that they didn't want to play anymore lower tier cupcakes? Lets have Indiana, Michigan St., Northwestern, Minnesota, or Iowa come to Death Valley and we go up there from time to time. You don't think the NCAA Football Playoff Committee isn't going to look at strength of schedule down the road?

9 game conf schedules won't work
May 3, 2013, 12:43 PM
|
|
unless you have a comprehensive playoff system, which will never happen (too many games). 9 game cof schedules will increase subjectability and decrease the accuracy of rankings. The perpetual media machine will gain more control over pumping the conference of their choice with no worthwhile cross-conference games.

Clemson should continue to schedule tough OC games even if it means doing what FSU did years ago and playing them on the road, sacrificing a home game.
I hate what is happening to college football. Gloat while you can coots and Dawgs, what is bad for the game, eventually hurts you guys as well.

Clemson dumped a two game home-away series with Ole Miss just last year which would have been great. Clemson dumped the games precisely due to the 9-game ACC schedule which was rescinded after Notre Dame accepted partial ACC admittance. Nonetheless, we lost the Ole Miss series.
Now the UGA President is saying the same will likely happen at UGA. I understand rivalries, but many of these posts are pure dumb a$$.

When they went to 8 games, that was the excuse for dropping the yearly Clemson game. They said they couldn't play Clemson and USC every year so they went home and home with USC in 88 and 89 and then home and home with Clemson in 90 and 91. We got a better and higher-profile opponent in FSU.
Back then, the USC game was always a gimme for them, while the Clemson game had meant something since the mid-70s.

If it goes away,it goes away. Unfortunate,definitly,but there is really nothing any of us can do to remedy the situation that is the new order of college football!

As soon as you lend credence to the 9-game conference schedule, you kick yourself in the nuts. We did, got screwed, and now Georgia's swallowing that nasty pill sooner than they have to. Have fun losing a sellout, marquee game because you wanted to proactive and make sure you got Missouri or Kentucky in there.

They should give us some pointers on how not to let GT hang around in games. Maybe it's a competition between state of Georgia recruits thing.
