-UGA doesn’t have to travel for big-time college football.

“PS-the reality is that UGA should get MORE credit for not traveling. it’s not like there are more than 4 stadiums in the whole country (outside the Southeast) that pull fans like our SEC opponents”

Is not only inaccurate, but maybe one of the dumbest things I have ever heard a fan of any team or conference say. 3 of the top 4 largest stadiums are located outside of the SEC. Furthermore, Penn State, Wisconsin, Ohio State, Michigan, Oklahoma, Texas, Nebraska, Texas A&M, USC, Washington, UCLA, Oregon, Miami, Florida State, Virginia Tech, Boston College, and West Virginia all pull fans as well as your SEC opponents (notice how I didn’t say better than….my homer sunglasses are off and I can see logically now….do you think you could?).

However, kudos on spelling ridiculous right; it seemed like everybody was having trouble with that 1.

PS-the reality is that UGA should get MORE credit for not traveling. it’s not like there are more than 4 stadiums in the whole country (outside the Southeast) that pull fans like our SEC opponents. i guess if UGA plays GaTech every year, and tOSU plays Northwestern every year, UGA should play Duke to offset and then we’d rack up some FFmiles…..

Ok. As I said earlier, I concede Georgia hasn’t had a good history of travel. It began when Dooley arrived (UGA went anywhere before that, including multiple trips to Ann Arbor and USC with no return visits by the Wolverines or Trojans to date). Thankfully, our current AD has us travelling to Stillwater, Tempe, Boulder, Louisville, and Eugene in the next eight seasons (with another trip to Clemson thrown in there, plus the ever-present trip to Atlanta). I’m not saying that Georgia is suddenly a paragon of brave scheduling virtue, but it’s getting with the program.

And one more time, the point was not who has better scheduling, but whether Ohio State’s schedule should have counted more against it in selecting a BCS Championship participant (and again, no one in this discussion has advocating placing Georgia in the game for any reason).

Don’t assume that the civil war didn’t affect any families from Ohio or the north, my family is all originally from Ohio and our ancestors DID fight in the civil war……further more there WERE battles fought in the North as well, but as in most wars, when a particular side is winning they tend to drive their enemy back onto their own territory.

Here is a map that shows that MOST of the battles were fought right in the middle, and then the rest in the South with a much smaller amount in the North.

I must also ask, were we (the United States) not affected by Vietnam just because it was fought somewhere else.

Ok, now that the history lesson is over, back to football.
I understand you stating that there are some good out of conference teams located close to Georgia….however, that doesn’t mean that you should only schedule them. Ohio State had a week schedule but they did travel to Washington (the state mind you) this year, Texas last Year, and will be traveling to California next year. It’s not like we just schedule West Virginia or Louisville or Kentucky as our out of conference BCS team match-ups.

We as Ohio State fans need to accept and admit when we have schedules that are pathetic like this year…..however, SEC fans need to accept and admit when their teams refuse to leave the comfort of the South for their away games.
