Would Clemson want an annual game with a Georgia?


Sep 14, 2021, 8:29 AM

This is NOT a flame, but do the pros of playing Georgia outweigh the negatives?

I may be in the minority, but I have always said you play the easiest schedule possible that still allows you to reach all your goals.

Larry Munson famously said, “You only go as far as your schedule let’s you go.”

It is not popular, but I think it is the truth.

Just curious if the Clemson fans agree with me or would want to play UGA every year.

PS - Just found out I’m taking my Clemson buddies to the NC State game. After Mississippi State pounded them I am sure the Wolfpack has its sights set on winning the rest of their games and the Clemson game looms large!!

Bingo. Let's not get it twisted. Georgia decided to stop playing Clemson every year when SCAR joined the SEC and they went to divisions. It was too much for them playing 8 SEC games and Clemson and SCAR every year.

it will never happen. Georgia would never agree to it citing their wicked brutal east schedule. Plus espn wouldn't allow it either, diluting their conference allegiances. Moreover, when Alabama gets moved to the east and sucks all the air out of it, georgia may weaken Clemson's sos.

Thanks anyway

and loses to uof6c as a 30-point favorite at home has any room to disparage the schedule of ANY OTHER team.

That said, no school has any control over its conference schedule. The OOC schedule is another matter entirely.

In the last 12 years Clemson has played Auburn (4 times), Texas A&M (3 times), Notre Dame (twice) and Georgia (3 times) as well as the annual game with uof6c.

Future OOC games include LSU (2), Oklahoma (2), and Georgia.

It’s a shame UGA cancelled the series but I think it is one of the best rivalries for college football. If we lose, so be it. This game and rivalry surpasses any concerns of the playoff impact.

Call your AD and convince him to make this a yearly game.

Re: Would Clemson want an annual game with a Georgia?


Sep 14, 2021, 9:27 AM

Clemson and Georgia should pass legislation in respective states that allow them to play each other every other year as a swap for the UGA/Ga Tech and Clemson/South Carolina games. Call it the border wars. I was a teenager/college student in the late 70's/early 80's and this was the game that everyone pointed to every year. No one was worried when they played early season in those days how it would affect bowl games, national championships, etc. Subsequently, Ga Tech/South Carolina would play each other that same weekend in the years Clemson/UGA Play. Bring it on....

I think it would awesome on Clemson’s end…play every year…have a home Amd hone and rotate a neutral site game every 3rd year between Charlotte, Atlanta, and Orlando. The thing is … would it be smart on UGA’s end…not sure they can gain much with such an elite out of conference game every year with the same team!

Re: Would Clemson want an annual game with a Georgia?


Sep 14, 2021, 10:07 AM

Yes, I think we should play UGA more often. I've always enjoyed the UGA games and it is natural rivalry. As mentioned, UGA dropped Clemson.

Clemson has no control over the strength of other ACC schools. However, I believe Clemson does an excellent job in scheduling quality, strong out of conference games excluding our weak in-state SEC rival. Yet, UGA understands that with GA Tech.

I like the idea of rotating various SEC schools.

Re: Would Clemson want an annual game with a Georgia?


Sep 14, 2021, 5:24 PM

Easy to talk about ignoring, yet ignoring schedule rankings every year. This is the easiest schedule Georgia has had in years and Clemson is on it OOC. Most years there's 2 top 10 teams and 2-3 more top 25 teams on their schedule just in conference. Most years Clemson has one ranked game if that then either a 20-25 ranked team or a 3 loss unranked team in the conference championship while Georgia plays a top 4 team. You literally can't compare Clemson's schedule to Georgia....ever especially with how horrible the ACC is. But I'm sure you'll come back with eSECpn bias in the rankings looool.

Re: Would Clemson want an annual game with a Georgia?

There are no negatives of playing Georgia. I would wants us to play every year. That said, I don't want it to ever be the opener. I think it should be mid season or so when both teams have settled in more.

Re: Would Clemson want an annual game with a Georgia?


Sep 14, 2021, 12:14 PM

I'm fine with it as long as it isn't the first game of the year. I've always preferred one game to get over the first week funk before a big game. I think 2nd or 3rd game takes some of the randomness out of it and gives a better demonstration of the real product.

I just think Clemson fans have to be truly HONEST about UGA..


Sep 14, 2021, 12:34 PM

and what can reasonably be expected. The history of the series is just one facet.

Again, not a flame, but Clemson is 1-7 against Georgia and has beaten Georgia 1 time in the last 30 years.

As a Georgia fan and someone who understands people, teams, groups, etc better than anyone, I think the Georgia and Clemson series has been good. Lot of good memories and Clemson certainly has good memories in the series, too. The 1981 game was special as well as 1987 - the ‘87 game was an all time classic and one Clemson fans I am sure still think about.

I just wonder how advantageous the series really is?

I’ve had some good discussions with my Clemson friends that is for sure!

Playing Greenwood Country Club today - the goal is 76 or better!

Clemson is 4-7 against UGa in the last 11 meetings...


Sep 14, 2021, 2:33 PM [ in reply to I just think Clemson fans have to be truly HONEST about UGA.. ]

which dates back to 1986.

During that same span, Clemson has won two National Championships while Georgia's one and only National Championship was in 1980.

Clemson and Georgia played just 8 times during that 30 year period of time you referenced. I think it's fair to say the overall record, whatever it is now, is entirely irrelevant. It simply gives UGa fans something on which to desperately hang their hats. That might be different if the two teams played annually.
