Will you follow the Dogs to a bowl outside Atlanta?
(University of Georgia)
A lot of bowl projections currently have the Dogs winding up in Atlanta’s Chick-fil-A Bowl, which certainly would please the fans since it’s the best Georgia can do bowl-wise. And it no doubt would guarantee another quick sellout for the bowl formerly known as Peach.
But there’s still a good chance the Dogs could wind up in Nashville. Or Shreveport. Or even Birmingham (which is where CBSSports.com sees Georgia playing).
A factor in determining where the Dogs end up playing will be how well the bowl officials think the Dog fan base will travel.
Mark Richt made reference to that on his TV show Sunday, pleading with the season ticket holders who can buy tickets in advance up until 5 p.m. Friday to go ahead and do so. The more tickets sold in advance, when fans still don’t know what bowl their team will get, the more impressed bowl officials are.
This is especially a concern when the team in question has underperformed, like the Dogs have this year. With half a dozen 7-5 teams in the SEC, the question in their minds is which fan base will follow their team despite not being that excited over the season.
Are you willing to follow the Dogs to Nashville or one of the other non-Atlanta bowls? Have you already put in for tickets? Or does a third- or fourth-tier bowl not interest you?
I’ll be off Tuesday, but the Blawg will return on Wednesday.

Under no circumstances would I attend a bowl other than the Chick-fil-a in Atlanta to watch this UGA team play. If it’s convenient, yes – if it requires the effort of driving – well a team that performed as UGA did in that 2nd half game vs. Kentucky isn’t worth that effort.

since when is a 6 point win a blow out? and since when can a 7-5 team say it had a better season than a 10-2 team? GO GATORS! 1996, 2006, 2008, 2009 NATIONAL CHAMPS!!!!!

Would follow them to Nashville always a good time during the Vandy Game.B-Ham never that stadium is a joke and always has been a terrible place to watch a game.The Dawg Nation will travel!! Chicken Bowl would be fun if they could get Clemsux in the game.

Shreveport will be good for everybody. Enjoy the trip and don’t miss the early-bird at Denny’s.

I just laughed out loud at that comment.
If they do play in the Dome, can they leave a cornerback in the locker room so the Falcons can use him next. Granted they aren’t very good cornerbacks, but they sure as hell beat what the Falcons are trotting out these days. Sheesh!!

A few weeks ago I didn’t think UGA would go bowling anywhere so I bought WSP tickets.

In Atlanta vs. Clemson sounds like a winner.
Anything else isn’t worth it until the powers-that-be at UGA show me that they care about fixing the many problems with our program.

Shreveport on 12-20, geez, pathetic placement, don’t think too many UGA fans will be making that trip. Guess the loss to UT and Kentucky really hurt.

In regards to “Who needs a motel when you can hitch up your house and drive to Shreveport” comment, we obviously watched different games because UGA dominated GT the entire game. Oh and the score was 30-24 in case you dont remember!! So true we may of not had the best season and may not be the best in the sec (this year, but just wait until next), but were obviously the best in Georgia-that was settled on the field saturday-30-24!!! GOOOOOO DAWGS!!!!!!!!
I hope we get to play in the chick-fil-a bowl so we can play another ACC team and win, but I will travel where ever to watch the Dawgs play in their bowl game! Go Dawgs!!!!!!
