I don't think so! So, go back and forth one year in Atlanta the next in Jacksonville, that would be fair.

Why should UGA fans care what their administration prefers? I understand folks in San Francisco are sensitive about "Frisco," but that doesn't mean much elsewhere. I also hear the North Avenue Trade School prefers not to be called that, but ... And Mike Adams doesn't like the use of the cocktail party name. Good luck to him on that.

Richt has said in the past that he doesn't want to schedule USC because the SEC schedule is already hard enough. If UGA were to play in the dome, they would play a decent team from a major conference (Clemson, Arizona State, Michigan State, etc.).

I'm the new beat writer for Tech. Interesting Ideas you've got here on the UF game. I actually attended UGA and I'm in favor of having a home and away game for Georgia/Florida. Thoughts? Hey guys.

If you want to play a game in the Georgia Dome, I am fine with the annual UF game, but one of the greatest parts about college football is the tradition. What is the incentive to play in the Georgia Dome? If we are going to play a huge OOC game, I’d rather play it in Sanford Stadium.

Micheal Vick is gone the demographic area of the GA Dome doesn't fit the fan base. Those PEOPLE in that area don't really like Matt Ryan or the Falcons anymore.

Putting ANY game in the GA. Dome is dumber than dog $$hit. Sooner, rather than later the only home games will be against DII or 1A teams. It's bad enough already. The home schedule will have meaningless games played in the middle of summer at 1pm, a la GA. Southern last season. No matter what one's feelings are concerning the GA-FL game in Jax, the fact remains that UGA gives up a prime home date every other year. Meeting financial goals requires booking a team seeking a larger pay day, and makes scheduling home and home series against national powers difficult. Transportation between ATL and Athens is NOT that difficult. Such arguement is foolish. Ok, enough already. Putting ANY game in the GA. Dome is dumber than dog $$hit.
