UGA-Michigan in 2010 a pipe dream
The rumor about a UGA-Michigan home-and-home series in 2010-2011 published online by the Michigan Daily, the student-run newspaper in Ann Arbor, appears to be mostly wishful thinking on the part of folks in maize and blue.
The gist of the rumor is that Michigan wants a big-name opponent for its 2010 opener, which will be the dedication game of the newly updated Michigan Stadium. The Michigan Daily’s sports blog, the Game, quotes unnamed sources as saying Georgia’s being talked to.
As much as we’d love to see the Dogs revisit the scene of their historic 1965 upset of the Wolverines, there are some major and perhaps insurmountable obstacles in the way of such a deal, at least for next year and 2011.
First, Georgia has an opening game scheduled against Louisiana-Lafayette in Athens and currently only has five home games set for next year and is looking for another. On top of that, they already have a road game against Colorado scheduled for 2010 and aren’t likely to undertake two away games against BCS conference opponents in the same season. (Can you imagine what Mark Richt would say about that?)
So to open at Michigan next season would require wholesale revamping of the schedule, unlikely to happen at this late date — though, of course, not impossible, especially if CBS or ESPN were to make it financially worthwhile for everyone involved. However, another problem is that the Dogs already have a full schedule for 2011, so would have to get someone (probably Louisville) to move to another year in order to accomodate a visit from Michigan.
Bottom line: It’s a fun matchup to talk about, but it’s about as likely as Georgia Tech fans staying on their own blog.
Now, down the road would I like to see Georgia visit Ann Arbor? Oh, yeah.

Mark Richt and Damon Evans should make an exception to get a home and home game with Michigan. We are doing 3 BCS Conference games this year with Yech, Oklahoma State, and Arizona State, but those games will pale in comparison to the media buildup and exposure of a Georgia-Michigan Series. I’m sure that the ESPN and CBS executives are already salivating at the thought of such a marquee game. If Michigan is willing to come to Athens for a return game, then Damon and Mark should do whatever it takes to make this happen. Just my humble opinion

That would be a great game! Just don’t let it be the first game of the season should it happen. I hate the idea of playing a soft schedule but the first game needs to be a warm up. But would be in favor of that game happening sometime in the future.

Let’s do like Bobby Bowden did that made him so famous. He would go on the road and beat most of them! Let’s play Michigan, Let’s play Ohio State, let’s play USC, and I could go on. We should play at least one a year. It would help us get National recognition and allow us to show people what we really are made of.

It always seems like there is some convenient excuse for not scheduling games like this. And I’m not just talking about UGA. I’m talking about most everyone. I know scheduling is complicated and there are a lot of parties involved, but good grief. They act like its quantum physics for god’s sake. I just refuse to believe that scheduling games like this is as difficult as AD’s and head coaches would like everyone to believe. Maybe not 2010 or 2011, but what about 2012 or 2013? What excuse is there for those years? Just pull the damn trigger and quit being such pussbags. Honestly. Good day.

Pulling this game off would be great, if ESPN sweetens the pot and UM agrees to a home and home. UGA has tried to schedule a home and home with the Wolverines before but they always refused to come to Athens. Maybe it’s not just the Southern teams that don’t like to travel. I would love to see a game in Ann Arbor, but I don’t want it to look like UGA kissed their butts just to get exposure.

Good call on ABC/ESPN adding a financial incentive. I would imagine that the return game does not necessarily have to be the following year, in 2011. (As you know, the first game in 2010 will be a dedication of the Big House expansion, so they want to make it special.) The game in Athens could be in 2012 or 2013. Michigan played at Oregon in 2003, and then Oregon, um, played Michigan in Ann Arbor in 2007. I don’t think that the return game would really be the issue, but correct me if I am wrong.

That would certainly be an attractive match-up. Why not play more than a couple of BCS away games? Remember, that is how FSU built up their program to National notoriety. And, let’s face it, I for one get tired of seeing the La-LaFayettes of the world on our schedule every year. So, we don’t win 9,10 or 11 games each year, but at least we play the “big boys”. With the expense of going to the games each year, at least getting to see good teams would make it more rewarding. Yeah, I guess this sounds crazy to some, but play any of ‘em, any time, any place. Would be some nice trips to take!

Winder, please quit knocking the Georgia Southern “rivalry’. That game never has an empty seat and is great for both programs and the state, especially the southern part, due to the duality of the fan base and the enthusiasm it creates for GSU football. Not to mention the Erk link I agree fully that Troy, LA-L, and other AA’s or FCS whatever with no UGA link should possibly be given the boot. Too bad Tech won’t play them every fourth year. If they scheduled it the same seasons they had UGA at home they could have 2 coke/hot dog free sellouts in the same season. WOW!

Hey, Randy M.,
I forgot,
Some graves are worthy of spit.
When you’re 6′7″ and 270 pounds and you rearrange a girl’s face on a bar room table and then play four years of football at a D1 level like nothing happened. Think about it, it doesn’t have anything to do with class. If that had happened in Athens, it would have been on the front page of the AJC for days and you know it. I got a problem with that. Plaid said, with a dose of sarcasm I might add, that it was a “timely post.” But you Techsters get a little sanctimonious from time to time and you need to be reminded North Avenue has skeletons, too. Most of the bloggers here don’t know who Mike Mooney is or what he did and they just need to be reminded. And, yes, it’s all in the past, but it’s just like November. If we’re going to drag up November, then let’s drag up everything. To my knowledge, the Dawgs have never had a player beat up a girl and start for four years. I think you’ll admit that truly flies in the face of decency. But Tech doesn’t have the female population on campus where it would matter to them or they just don’t care. Athens has the population and they care.
Hey we all have our demons. Sammy Drummond, Tico Brown, Quincy Carter, Tony Cole, Reggie Ball and I could go on and on and on.
I’m out. See you in November.

Tech may not make it 2 in a row but aint no way in hell you’ll be beating them 7 out of 8 for the next 8 years. They have a 50/50 shot at worst in the 09 game and will likely win. As long as CPJ is there they will be absolutely competitive with UGA from here going forward. Get used to it and deal with it.

Why should we avoid playing Michigan just because your might Gators lost to them in ‘08 at the Capital One Bowl? We beat you the same season you lost to Michigan by an even greater margin (42-30), remember? And we are the only team in the SEC to play and beat Michigan in Ann Arbor! As for UGA’s out of conference schedule, I think you need to compare who FL plays this year (Charleston Southern, Troy, Florida International and a down FSU team!). Talking about weak! In comparison, UGA plays Oklahoma State at Ok State (a top 10 team), Arizona State (we played ASU in Arizona last year), Georgia Tech (at GT in Atlanta) and Tennessee Tech. It appears that FL is only interested in taking the path of least resistance. Is this worthy of a team defending a national championship? I understand that FL is 0-2 in bowl games against Michigan (losing the ‘03 Outback Bowl and the ‘08 Capital One Bowl), but is that any reason for FL to be afraid of Michigan?? Certainly UGA is not………

Want to hear something funny. I saw a DVD to commemorate and celebrate 100 years of FL football. What’struck me as funny is that you could skip the first 83 years or so in FL football history because FL didn’t win ANY championship until 1991! That’s right…. they might as well have just featured the past 17-18 years of FL football history because, prior to that time, FL’s football program could be best described as ignominious and representive of football futility, compared to more successful programs such as Bama, UT, UGA and LSU, which have also won national championships but won more games and SEC championships than FL has during the history of their respective programs. It helps to be able to place things in perspective……. Oh, and I noticed you didn’t respond to my comment about FL’s laughable out of conference schedule this year, FL’s 0-2 record against Michigan, and FL’s apparent fear of that Big Ten program in light of its 2 bowl losses in ‘03 and ‘08 when UGA is trying to schedule Michigan for a home and home series. What is FL afraid of??

The fact that UF won those NCs without a strong out-of-conference schedule merely underscores the point that the top SEC team will play in the BCS-NC game year-in-and-year-out…so gayter, stop your bitchin’ about who we might play and who we might not play. We’ll be playing you from now on and, mark the words, beat you more than you’ll beat us over the next ten. Yeah, we’ve handled the Big 10(or so) teams for years – never forget the cover on SI that year – ‘Georgia, Not Just An Old Sweet Song’. Michigan was a lot better then than they were that year they drubbed UF in the Outback – that was the same year UM lost to Appy-State, wasn’t it?…weak.
I expect the powers in Athens will give us representative opponents for the foreseeable future and we’ll be at the top of the SEC East and the Conference again before you can say Urban Goes For The Green (Notre Dame that is).

“We haven’t lost to a Big Ten team in 52 years. The streak is 12 in row at the moment, I believe. So I say bring it on.”
How many of those whopping 12 games in 52 years was scheduled and not a bowl game? That statement speaks volumes about the weak out of conference scheduling that Georgia has. Step up, schedule a top 20 program for an out of conference game. Even the lowly Wolverines and Buckeyes do it.

Whether you are a Tech fan or a UGA fan, grow up and quit being so tacky. The robberies around Tech are also punctuated with UGA professors going postal and killing their spouses. What I just wrote was a ludicrous statement but no more ludicrous than the intelligence on this blog. Move out of your Mother’s basement and grow up…..

Michigan is 25-5 vs the SEC all time. Not the best opening day opponent. Try Ohio St……their SEC record is a little less sterling.

Oh no…. we couldn’t tell Louisiana-Lafayette to go pound sand. We need more cup cakes. Bill your an idiot. I bet your one of those UGA fans who never went to UGA but own a red truck with a black Green Bay Packer logo on the back. Go Green Bay Bulldogs.

My hunch is that he UGA will not make a decision on this until about 5-6 games into the season when it is apparent how much progress the Wolverines have made under RR. If they’re 6-0 or 5-1 (I can dream can’t I?) midway through next season, I doubt UGA will chance a opening game loss in 2010.

Jerome….love the joke, even at our expense. I would love to see the match-up of the two schools, but I would be a little concerned considering the way our defense played against WVU in the Sugar Bowl. Rich Rod has been getting better talent into UM than he had at WVU. Still, I would like to see the maize and blue in Sanford Stadium.

UGA would never go for it –if the possibility were to be there Evans would back away from it quicker than you can say Roddy Jones just scored again.

What? Play Michigan? Are you insane?
Do you think I want to get smoked by Rich Rodriguez…AGAIN? Are you an idiot?
Do you think I want to re-live the humiliation of watching my 2005 SEC Champions dawgs get totally waxed by RichRod’s WV team? Hell, we looked like roadkill next to them.
No friggin way. Ain’t playing. Not in my contract.

Why can’t we just stick to the topic at hand. I know that is wishful thinking. Hey guys, I read the GT Blogs just to see updates with Tech’s program and we have some tools over there posting some luducris stuff as well. It does not matter, your going to have idiots from both sides that are really clueless about football, but just want to run their mouths. It’s embarrassing for both sides I’m sure.
Personally, I’d love to see a separate blog just for all fans of Colleges who don’t have to crap it it up and talk serious football. Of course that would mean someone at the AJC to look at each post to not allow the stupidity.
As for the UGA-MI matchup I would love to see it. I love the harder non-conference schedule. I like seeing Tech being competitve again and they will be from here on out. I’d rather beat a good Tech team that a poor one and I’m sure they feel the same way about us. I love the fact the we have leveled the playing field with UF.

“Great contribution, KJ. Now get back to mopping the BK.”
Yeah, trolling a rival’s blog in the wee hours of a weekday morning really smacks of “successful career man”. Keep dreaming, chump. Oh, and I’ll need that hard drive fixed by Monday.
