Should UGA season ticket holders be satisfied with a diet of cupcakes?

georgia bulldog clubIf you’re a Georgia football season ticket holder and you haven’t made your annual contribution to the Hartman Fund, better get down to the post office, go online or get on the horn to the Georgia Bulldog Club offices in Athens, because today’s the deadline. You can find out all the details here.

Contributions sent via snail mail must be postmarked no later than Feb. 15.

Even if you’re not going for season tickets, a minimum $100 contribution to the Hartman Fund will get you a 2012 football ticket application and will make you eligible to request single-game tickets to five of the seven home games. With the Dawgs looking to open the season as possibly a Top 5 team, some folks might want to scramble aboard the bandwagon.

Then again, whether you can find five home games on Georgia’s 2012 schedule that you consider worth the cost of the ticket plus a contribution is another question.

Along those lines, I had a note from reader SavannahDawg, who was going ahead and making his contribution but was grumbling about the 2012 home schedule, which admittedly isn’t that exciting: Buffalo, Florida Atlantic, Vanderbilt, Tennessee, Ole Miss, Georgia Southern and Georgia Tech.

He complained that “the cupcake portion of that schedule is particularly lame. If sticking to an eight-game conference schedule in the expanded SEC means we have to give up playing Auburn every year just so we can keep the likes of the Florida Atlantic Owls coming to Athens for a paycheck, I’m going to be seriously rethinking my commitment to buying season tickets every year. Better to make a smaller donation and get single games, or even cherry-pick the best games on StubHub. Even paying scalper’s prices for those games, it’ll end up costing me less than season tickets when you factor in the Hartman Fund.”

SavanahDawg makes a valid point and I’m wondering if the SEC athletic directors’ aversion to adding a ninth conference game might not end up costing them financially down the road in terms of getting fans in the stands.

What do you think? Would a schedule that kept the cupcakes and lost Auburn as an annual opponent make you any less likely to buy tickets to games at Sanford Stadium?

I have donated to the fund for the last two years and trying to get my donation level high enough so I can get season tickets but I will not be donating this year. With the schedule they have, I can go to the bridge at kickoff and buy tickets for 5 bucks. I hope we do well this year because if we don’t win 11 games, fire CMR is going to be all over these boards again and I get so sick of reading that

Sorry, Bill it looks like the fans are going to have to get together on this and other issues. McGarity and Adams seem to have no problem with lame scheduling or lame results on the field. Wonder what the “little bitty minor details” on the contracts of Richt and Grantham are. Should be a mandate of winning the entire Southeastern Conference in 2012, and dock pay for any more embarrassing performances by all of the 4 and 5 star players on the UGA roster. Still have not gotten over that bowl game, and may never. At some point Richt has got to get the message that just because McGarity tells him it is okay for these kinds of outcomes to occur, that it is really not okay. Hartman Fund contributors may be the only way to get the message through to him.

Richt has the schedule, the players, and to hear him tell it, the coaches that are needed to reach this goal. We will see how it goes, but most will be VERY beside themselves if he screws it up this year.

Having the game in Jacksonville means one of our biggest games is never in Sanford. I’d rather have 4 cupcakes and 8 SEC gams in a National Title year than being left out because of one loss on the schedule that could have been avoided. Florida gave a blueprint and Alabama followed it on how to get to the National Title game. We need to do the same thing.

I agree completely with SavannahDawg. I think McGarity is dead wrong holding onto the 8 game SEC schedule & I frankly don’t understand it.

Yes, I know the SEC is brutal, but the home game schedule this year is particularly bad. And with 14 teams now in the conference, we’ll be waiting an eternity to “rotate” in the higher level SEC West teams.

It makes McGarity looks silly when he clings to an 8 game schedule and we have THREE lowl level cupcakes coming in this year. It’s a joke.

After donating for 35 years with $21,000 donated, I gave my four season tickets up last yr. It was a great decision because I saw the four home games that were worth seeing. I bought a pair of tx. for the games I chose to see and paid less than face for all of them, except Auburn. I saved over $2,000. The schedule won’t be getting better anytime soon so I will remain on the sideline with my donation. Loyalty only goes so far! With the parking hassle, tailgate restrictions enough is enough.

I did indeed do my research before cancelling my tickets. I have not regretted it. You mention ‘Alabama and Clemson coming on the schedule’. I was told as recently as two weeks ago that the SEC schedule is still fluid for 2013 and beyond. The only locked contracts are with App. State, North Texas and likely La. Lafayette in 2013. Clemson is likely also but as Oregon and Louisville discovered nothing is a done deal with UGA.

C’mon, people. It can’t be Ohio Stae, USC and Texas coming to Athens every season. The blueprint for scheduling to win a champioship was placed many years ago. You have 3-4 cupcakes, 2-3 mid range and 3-4 big hitters. LSU was the exception last year. Alabama does it. Florida does it. Texas does it. Auburn did it. You people that want 9 tough games AND be in contention for the BCS are living in another world. You can’t have it both ways. I’ll be getting my season tickets (had them since 1957) and cheering on the dogs whether they are playing LSU or East West Technical College from Dayton. A win is a win and I enjoy them all!

Good question Skitty Fritty! Based on the number of players we’ve sent to the NFL over the last half decade, and the scarcity of titles since 2005, it feels like we’re a farm club. I don’t get excited about how many players we send to the pros. Much more important is how many big game wins and titles they can win for the University of Georgia!

Dawg in Columbus, we all hope that you are correct. I have a feeling that the regents are having something to say about the expectations for Richt and his staff in 2012, thus the delay in the signing of the new contract. Let’s hope so. I know that McGarity said that he prefers that his coaching staff “Remain on edge”, my guess meaning to avoid complacency, who knows what he meant by it. If Richt is undefeated in 2012 including the SEC Championship, and is not selected for the game in Miami, then there is obviously nothing UGA can do about it. What Richt can, and better control is beating the teams on his schedule this year, one at a time, and yes the UF game is a career game for Richt in 2012 for two reasons, he has never beaten the Gators two years in a row, and he did not beat the Gators in either of his SEC Championship seasons. There is no better time, and probably never will be to log back to back wins against the Gators in Jax, and take back some Bulldog Pride in the program. This is very important to many. There are just games that have to be won in order to be considered top flight to national media types that ultimately decide the outcome of the current BCS System.

A fool and his money is soon parted….You people are standing in line to PAY for crappy games. McGarity is getting you and you still will not STOP buying tickets.
Fine buy the season tickets but DO NOT GO to the lil sisters of the blind and poor. If the stadium is empty for these games the AD will get the picture.
Have fun and go tailgate, but DO NOT ENTER THE Stadium. It will look bad on TV you still keep your points to keep your season tickets when the schedule is worth paying for.
If UGa can’t win the SEC this year then McGarity’s weak scheduling policy will NEVER work or RICHT & BOBO are not the coaches to get the job done.

I am glad to hear that some of you fair weather fans are “giving up” your tickets in protest of the schedule. Now maybe some of the young alum can start getting tickets. I was blessed to have graduated in 1980 when we got 2 tickets with no donation, then half the donation in year 2 and then the full donation in year 3. Also, maybe I can get my season tickets relocated to where I’ve been asking for the last several years and this will probably mean I can get all 6 together since I’ll be increasing from 4 to 6 this year.

I don’t object to two cupcakes, but not three! Surely we could dig up one interesting non-conference opponent. The non-conference series Damon scheduled with Arizona State, Oklahoma State and Colorado were awesome. I attended the games in Tempe and Boulder. That said, I understand the concerns about travel, but there are interesting opponents more regional to us. I know we have Clemson next year, and that’s great, but I hate to forfeit a year with a lackluster schedule like we have. Yes, Florida has scheduled like this too, no question. However when they won their titles they were playing in a much stronger SEC East than it is now. I am seriously hoping for Missouri, Vandy and Florida to be strong to give our schedule gravitas. I know South Carolina will be.

Vamps, the problem is beyond the ten win threshold now. Every one of our SEC peers and rivals have surpassed our program in an embarrassing fashion at this point. Yeah I know Auburn’s championship has an * beside it, but other than Miles backing into the 2007 game with two losses ((I still can not believe LSU went to the BCS after losing to Arky late in the season that year), that can not be said of UF and Bama. Those teams did not have the toughest schedules ever, but were in the mainstream of what other recent winners had. The complaint here, and with many Dawgs is not the schedule so much, it’s the results. Ten wins is nice but is no longer enough to feed the BULLDAWG.

Cupcake games should be limited to two per year, and I would much rather keep Auburn and add a ninth conference game to replace a cupcake. By the way, would rather replace cupcakes with some mid-major schools. I am not buying into the “we would have to exchange a game at their place.” That is BS, many mid-major schools would gladly accept a million dollar check, and we as fans would be much happier with improved traditional powers (past games with TCU, Baylor, Houston, Central Florida, Southern Miss, etc. as good examples).

junkyarddawg….I think your kids can inherit your tickets. You just allow them to start writing the checks and change your mailing address to theirs for the ticket info. When you pass they just keep “Managing Your Affairs” until the time that they no longer want the tickets or get caught.

If scheduling ultimately requires that we eliminate either Auburn or Georgia Tech from what has already become a cupcake-rich home schedule, you can count me out. I’ve had tickets since 1966, but a schedule like this one better prove to be the exception as opposed to the norm or I’m done. This is lazy scheduling, plain and simple…there are BCS-level schools and respectable non-BCS opponents who can be found to forumulate a solid home schedule without a return trip requirement. Many more will work out two-for-one deals. Bringing in teams like Florida Atlantic, Idaho State, Florida International, etc is pure laziness. The Georgia Athletic Department needs to get off its ass and ring some phones or its going to have a serious season ticket renewal problem on its hands. I’m not saying we need to add a Michigan, Texas or Ohio State every year…those are rare exceptions….but it’s not so hard to grab Southern Miss instead of FAU. We can find a Southern Methodist instead of Idaho State. A San Diego State or Fresno State or BYU instead of Buffalo. Many Big East schools, in particular, are begging for games right now to fill out their schedules. Find respectable non-conference opponents and stop this nonsense.

I went to everygame that year and it was awesome! The team and talent we have now could not have gone 12-0.

I enjoy the games every year. I haven’t seen a DAWG team as good as those in the 80’s. We still lost some close games in those days.

It’s clear that none of us on this blog can change the schedule this year or for years to come. Keep up the good comments…

Don’t plan on seeing UGa in the Kickoff Classic while McGarity is in the AD job. If the SEC goes to 9 games like the ACC you can bet no top tier SEC team will be in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff game anytime soon. A Down Auburn, UT, Kentucky, Vandy, Miss St, Ole Miss might want to risk a loss in the CFA Kickoff Classic for the TV stage and recruiting advantages, but Bama, LSU, Florida, UGa, Arkiesaw will not want to be in that game.

SavannahDawg is right on with that. It’s belittling to a team to play cupcakes all year long, and then go up against a real team in the SEC Championship and then Bowl Game. You get throttled when that happens. And I completely agree with not wasting your hard earned money to go see teams that couldn’t even match up with our state’s Friday night high school teams. McGarity needs to quit scheduling these teams, like he did at Florida, and get us into the big time games like with Boise State, LSU-Oregon, Alabama-Penn State, etc. It will bode well financially, for the fans, and get recruits into our program that want to play and beat the best for competition and exposure reasons.

OKAY, I GUESS, BUT WOULD PREFER THE EXTRA SEC GAME–DON’T LIKE GOING MORE THAN 2 YEARS BETWEEN SEC OPPONENTS (but see below). Option 3: 8 SEC games, no permanent West rival, GT, 1 OOC toughie, 2 cupcakes. CLEAR SIGNAL THAT TRADITIONS AND FANS DON’T MATTER, I’M DONE. As others have suggested, we can meet our goals with Option 2 by permanently scheduling 4 SEC teams (UF, AU, SC, UT) and rotating the other 9–I’d be okay with that, too.

TDF,

Yeah, that’s why we keep losing out on some of our biggest targets when it comes to recruiting, because we have soooo much exposure. I meant the Alabama-Penn State game was an intriguing match up that got a lot of media attention, not that it was 1 vs. 2. Game Day was there, and them spending all of that extra time focusing on those two teams, they gained a lot of exposure throughout the country. And since when was it mandatory that we march to the beat of the rest of the teams in the SEC? Your points make no sense and have nothing backing them up. Exposure, wins, and beating the best gets you the recruits, brings in the money, and Championships. Look at Auburn, Alabama, and LSU. Florida played weak schedules, but their athletes were unreal in the years they won the National Championship.

You ppl do realize a lot of these schools depend on the money they get for these games to help out their programs.

coastal Carolina team was started thanks to UGA. They didnt have enough money to get equipment so we gave it to them and they honored us by being called the bulldogs for a while, but have since changed their name to creat their own image. And we helped them out again by paying them to come and play.

there are a lot of reasons behind these games ppl, more than just your enjoyment.

I believe that we should follow the same type of scheduling that UF, LSU, Alabama & other national recognized programs do. What works for them should also work for the Dawgs.

First off, I’ll put my sports IQ and professional knowledge up against you any day son, so don’t try belittling me on a computer with some lame comment. When was the last time we went out of the Southeast to get a recruit, not named Knowshon? Alabama, LSU, Florida, and Auburn get kids from all over the country to play for them, and they win. They come in and poach most of our better athletes. I admit we do get some good high quality ranked guys, but not to the extent of these schools that play better teams throughout the year. The article clearly asks us if we want tougher teams on the schedule or weaker opponents. I stated tougher opponents brings better results, because you have to play the best to beat the best, and if we would have another decent team or two on the schedule then we may be ready in the second half against LSU. Georgia is a traditional football school with a lot of stars and winning, but we need a competitive advantage to win more National Championships. The SEC doesn’t give you EVERYTHING you need to succeed, look at Kentucky, Vanderbilt, and Ole Miss as of late. Just because we play in the best conference in America doesn’t mean we are automatically given things.

Actually we went and got Greg Pyke OL from Maryland this year. You clearly focus on rivals for your recruiting ratings. Even though its been easily proven that all pay sites cater to high subscription areas and skew the rankings for those teams (Florida teams, USC, Bama, Ohio State)

Having more tough games on the schedule doesnt solve the depth issue that makes us not ready for second halfs. And FYI adding more tough games increases the likelyhood of more injuries and would actually hurt us even more for the second half.

Here you go contractor. Now please tell me that they get most of our players

average fan. Watch him with Pres Adams, what a brown nose. The schedule is pitiful and remains
so for the next ten years. The non-conference games will have thousands of empty seats and the
unused tickets cannot be given away. The high demand was because of the schedules Damon set
up and the travel games to Arizona, Oklahoma and Colorado. Those days are gone and so has the

As for the conference schedules and the “lack” of in-conference competition — does everyone not realize that conference schedules are determined by the SEC? Individual schools may be able to determine WHEN they play certain teams, but most certainly don’t determine WHOM they play. When the Dawgs were playing some combination of LSU, ‘Bama and Arky I don’t recall so much scheduling criticism from the trolls around here. Everything comes full circle — it’s how scheduling CYCLES work.

If the season ticket holders want to have any chance of a championship of ANY kind they had better like it. This is the formula that Florida has used for years. Even with this schedule it doesn’t compare with the ANY other conference schedule. Most of the big teams like Ohio State, MI, Oregon, USC, Texas, OK Play a bunch of practice games, a couple rivalry games and thats it. Just because they play teams in their conference doesn’t mean they are any good. It’s difficult to get BCS teams to play you without a home and home agreement. And as to the money, playing some team like? Maryland? at home would fill the stands, but then the next year that there would be one less home game. You net more money on two home games with half full stadiums than you do having a full stadium one year and travel plus an empty stadium the next. The SEC is so much more difficult than the other conferences,even with the cupcakes it’s tougher than anything Ohio State will ever play.

TDF, please enlighten me to what the answer is then. How exactly would you keep traditional permanent rivalries and keep the 2 team West rotation going without going to a 9 game schedule?

I’m all ears. Wasn’t a problem for the (old) PAC 10 and the ACC seems to think it’s okay.

Old Dawg

February 15th, 2012

I wouldn’t bash UGA’s home schedule too much, Bill. Like many other folks have stated, other SEC schools have equal servings of cupcakes on their schedules:

Bama: Western Kentucky, Florida Atlanta and Western Carolina
UT Vowels: Georgia State, Akron and Troy
Arkansas: Jacksonville, Louisiana Monroe, Tulsa
LSU: North Texas, Idaho and Towson University
Auburn: Louisiana Monroe, New Mexico and Alabama A&M
Florida: Bowling Green, Jacksonville State and Louisiana Ragin’ Cajun

It’s obvious SEC teams are racking up on wins with these folks so they can be more prepared for conference games. Conference schedules do fluctuate on their difficulty, and back in the 90s playing SEC East Teams like UT and Florida was always a chore.

These weak non-conference games also allow coaches to play underclassmen so they are more prepared when their time comes.

I don’t necessarily like what’s happening, but it’s obvious the trend is set.

After sharing season tickets and many great games with my two cousins (we refer to each other as Dawg Bro ) for almost 30 years we dropped our 7 seats (4 on row one in the club level, 3 in section 129) and railroad lot parking. With the advent of Stubhub we found that we can attend all of the games that we want to see and still get good seats and a parking pass and still save money. Since Adams ran Vince off the decrease in the value and quality of having season tickets has been unabated. The movers and shakers had better wake up!

Dude, they didn’t want Georgia in it because you NEVER win a big game…No matter what names you call us just call us Winners because in the end that is all we have done…You seem to still be suffering from that lost to that powerhouse Michigan State team? We played them too…Want to know how that ended up…We won it..

So know we own ESPN too…Saban is far reaching but not as far as these Georgia excuses…

Thomas Brown was working with Mark Richt to expand educational opportunities for student-athletes at UGA. That is, he tried to encourage players to think of a potential career after football and not just choose the easiest major. The Augusta newspaper had a very nice article about it. I would tell this on the appropriate blog, but Chip Towers has banned me.

Bama’s offense will actually be better than this past year even with the loss of TR. I think any Bama fan will agree with that statement.

He is much better off at tech where he might actually play.

Here’s the deal:
Nuetral site game in Jax (UF/UGA) every year means you have one less home game every other year.
In-state rivalry game (UF/FSU and UGA/GT) that is an OOC game means one less home game every other year.

Those are the reasons you have to schedule “cupcakes”. You won’t get any major program to come to Athens or Gainesville without a return trip and the schools won’t give up the revunue of even one home game. It’s just way too much money. No other SEC schools have to face these 2 issues other than UF and UGA.
The only way to solve this on a permanent basis is to either move the UF/UGA from Jax and play it as a home and home or to cancel the annual UF/FSU and UGA/GT games. It’s just that simple. Which do you prefer….lose some serious traditional rivalries/venues or keep it the way it is?

I think something should be done. It’s pathetic to have all those cupcake games. We already get 2-3 a year from the SEC with KY, Vandy, Ole Miss, etc. I don’t mind one or two, but it’s pathetic we pay that kind of money as contributors for these games.
As for the guy that wants to know if we want Boise St back. Heck yeah, if it’s in ATHENS or a home/home deal. Going to the Dome was a joke. Way to alienate UGA donors by letting me sit a mile away at the dome while I have good seats in Athens for Boise St.
The ONLY good think about cupcake games is that they are typically at 1PM and it’s a great game to “miss” or bring young kids to. You can bring them to the game to see a show by UGA and be back home in time for dinner. That is a plus.
I think UGA should maybe change the ticket prices for the individual home games based on demand. You can still charge the aggregate of ($40/ticket for 7 games ($280 per season ticket), but make the Vandy games $20 and the Auburn & Tech, etc. more than $40, etc.).

I can’t believe I am even having this discussion with another fan of the same team, but your argument is pathetic and as off base as one could be. We could sign the best player in our state for the next 100 years, but if the results don’t eventually bring a title, and another school comes in and recruits Georgia and wins National Titles, then they are getting the better players and evaluating better. Run your yapper and post as many times as you want, but clearly you need an education in football, recruiting, and need to get a life, because facts are facts. All of these Top 10 classes haven’t produced near as much as the other SEC schools that have in the same time period, so once again your lame opinion is flat.

To make it clear who would like to play 3 home SEC games one year and 6 on the road. All SEC games have 3 cupcakes scheduled and if you don’t want to pay the price, then I know many waiting for those season tickets if you give them up.

The $800 contribution plus $500 for tickets or $1300 for 2 tickets to 4 games worth watching is one thing. The impossible parking is one thing. The $5.00 cup of ice and $3.00 for a bottle of water to pour in the ice is one thing. Missing 1/2 a quarter to get that $8.00 water is one thing. The fact that after 28 years of loyalty and $14,500 in contributions, you get nose bleed at Florida for the first time in 28 years since corporate contributions rule the day is one thing. The fact that if we get a good bowl or sec championship, decent tickets are best purchased on ebay or stub hub is one thing. My basement big screen and high defintion with air-conditioning, a restroom, and full bar is one thing. Somebody will be happy with section 107–row 16–48 yard line. I still love the dawgs.

I swear on my father’s grave that this is true.
In 1992 I had my ACT scores sent to Alabama as one of the schools I selected when taking the test.

A month later I received a pre-approved application in the mail with a dorm application included.

They’d never seen my grades,and while pretty good, my ACT score didn’t get me in the newspaper or anything. Damndest thing ever happen to me scholastically.

Yeah, boy, sure looks like Alabama isn’t recruiting anyone from the state of Georgia. Oh wait, they did BETTER in the state of Georgia than we did.

http://recruiting.scout.com/a.z?s=73&p=9&c=8&toinid=745&yr=2012

This is WHY Alabama is ranked the # 2 recruiting class in the nation, and why UGA is ranked # 14. That the state of Georgia is better for recruiting than the state of Alabama; and, Alabama sure didn’t sign any players from our state, now did they nimrod TDF ?

8 Alabama players signed from Georgia of 4-Stars or more
5 Georgia players signed from Georgia of 4-Stars or more.

*Geno Smith # 8 DB in nation*
*Dalvin Tomlinson # 11 DT in nation Kirby Smart*
Rivals.com

Alabama sure does not recruit anyone from the state of Georgia TDF.

* All these players in the state of Georgia were offered a scholarship by Mark Richt.*
7 of the 8 Kirby Smart and Nick Saban out-recruited Mark Richt in the state of Georgia on. The only 1 of the 8 from the state of Georgia Alabama signed this 2012 season with 4-Stars or more, considered the among the best in the nation by both Scout.com and Rivals, whom Mark Richt did NOT recruit was the # 13 TE in the Nation Kurt Freitag of Buford High School, whom Florida recruited, Alabama recruited, South Carolina recruited, Clemson, Auburn, Arkansas, Florida State recruited, Illinois recruited, Kentucky, Miami of Florida, Mississippi State recruited, and Florida recruited. All these schools offered the # 14 TE in the nation out of Buford High School Kurt Freitag a Scholarship, but Mark Richt did not – having LOST 2 Tight Ends, both gone from last year’s UGA squad, both of whom STARTED here at UGA for Mark Richt, Aron White TE and Orson Charles TE. But, Mark Richt did not offer Kurt Freitag # 13 TE in the nation Buford High School. So, Florida and Alabama both had him visit, but Mark Richt did NOT.

Kirby Smart also recruited the # 1 athlete in the nation according to Rivals.com Eddie Williams, whom Mark Richt ALSO offered a scholarship too.

Well ole Bill went down to Jiffy Lube to get the opinion of his buddies and then reports it as news. I see Bill is back to his old ways. Actually the problem with this year’s schedule is timing more than cupcakes. Ole Miss is down but often this is a big game. Tennessee is down but this is often a season defining game. Vanderbilt is usually a cupcake game but they are on the rise and the James Franklin-Todd Grantham thing makes this game more interesting than usual. Tech is Tech. Georgia Southern is a bit more intriguing than the typical cupcake game. You can’t do much with Buffalo or Florida Atlantic but five of the seven games are intriguing. To the complainers—-you were the same one’s crying when we lose at Ok. State and Colorado and come home after the ASU trip and lay an egg. You can’t have your cake and eat it too.

Hello, wake up and smell the coffee. Everone schedules cupcakes simply because the SEC team are not always an easy task. UGA schedule maybe a bit down this year but it want be that way always. So my advice to ticket holders is go with what we have because some teams coming in ib the future you will want to see and that my friend is worth the cost of the season. Please don’t blow your season tickets on one season’s schedule. It will get better and trust me you will want to be there.

[...] Blawg: “Should UGA season ticket holders be satisfied with a diet of cupcakes?” With the 8-game conference schedule, Georgia’s home games, to be nice, are weak. [...]

I not a judge or jury and I don’t pass judgment down on anyone. But, with that said and that aside I think some of these young ladies chasing these high profile athletes need to learn what the word “NO” means. These athletics are trying to make it in the world of pro athletic and some time this eye candy get in the way and troubles some young ladies more than others. They can’t seem to understand that there are times when space is needed by the athletic. If you don’t have the time to wait and see on your man then WALK AWAY. Please don’t HURT his chances.

There have been several games a year that the tickets went unused so I am saying adios because I am tired of the 3 or 4 weeks in a row of games with several cupcakes and then several weeks away.

Recruits dont want to play these cupcakes??? hahahaha. Not really bc they realize that playing in the SEC is tough, and every team needs these cupcakes to get healthy and ready for the next SEC game. Ask any current player, they will tell you the same thing. They are neccessary, and good for the others schools programs to get the extra money. No one minds them but whinny fans like you.

I know this is off subject from this article a bit but if someone can give me an unbiased, rational answer I’d appreciate it. Clearly The SEC is overall the tougher conference but an away game at Oregon, Texas, USC, etc. would give The Dawgs more respect than Coastal Carolina at home.

Ohio State will be back up soon and Clemson will play out the next season better I think but I think we do need more, high profile away games.

There is absolutely nothing like watching an SEC Team go to the west coast to play USC or Oregon.
Or go to the southwest and play Texas or to ND in South Bend or Ann Arbor to play Michigan during regular season.

Surely one or two of those games a year couldn’t hurt a good SEC Team (not that we are right now) and the return in visibility and respect would be ten fold.

Just my opinion though.

No SEC could add 2 of them. Yes doing maybe one of this big team every 5 years would be ok, but you cant expect any top SEC team to stop scheduling the cup cakes while other teams still do it. No one will put themselves at a disadvantage like that.

Yes one team might do more frequently than the rest but then they will go years without it. UGA used to do it every year pretty much and it hurt us while everyone else was playing a cupcake. We are finally on the same page with everyone else and now fans want to complain about us evening the playing field. Just blows my mind that ppl cant understand this. Or understand how much these games mean to those cupcakes, especially the money for their programs. We stop scheduling them and a lot of the smaller programs would go under and have to close their doors.

LSU seemed to do pretty well with the toughest schedule in the country last year. UGA does not have enough depth on the OL to be successful without a few cupcakes. Georgia lost three games because their OL was done half way through the 3rd quarter and they could not play consistently on offense. They have enough bodies now but they are very young on the OL. I do think that two cupcakes a year should be enough. Tech is more than a cupcake and does require some effort to beat and because of Tech’s chop blocking UGA has had some injuries ( Tyson) this year.

Urban Meyer won it in his second and fourth seasons at UF. And he came from freaking Utah. Watch for one from OSU in the very near future. Your small handful are right in your back yard.

Suzanne Yoculan interview:
I don’t mind being the Darth Vader team of the SEC. In fact, 10 years ago we made the decision to just embrace that Darth Vader image, and we wear black everywhere we go on the road. We’re an aggressive, confident team. That’s our style. That’s my style. I like enthusiasm. I like excitement. We’ve won a lot of championships because of that.

We’re like Steve Spurrier vs. Georgia. No one in Georgia likes Spurrier because he beats us a lot. (PWD: Inferring that no one in Bama likes them b/c they never beat Georgia anymore).

Richt is 3-1 vs bama DA. How stupid are you???

Richt maybe 3-1 against BAMA but not a Saban led Bama. UGA is 10-10 against Bama since 1980. How MNC does Bama have since 80 and how many does UGa have? Richt is 3-2 against SABAN who is Now Bama’s coach.

hahaha the point was that Richt is 3-1 vs bama, whos fans were saying he never wins any big games. So basically bashing themselves since Richt has beaten them 3 out of 4 times.

This is laughable. The Presidents and AD’s long ago gave up giving a rat’s behind for the ordinary fan that cannot shell out thousands of dollars each year. UGA has been number one in this category.

Yup, I’ve already made my move away from season tickets to cherry picking games. A result of cupcake teams (AD) for cupcake offensive linemen coached by a moron (BoBo) who feeds defenses a steady diet of 3rd and long up-the-middle or short side toss-sweeps, all headed by an apathetic CEO (Richt) who only managed wins against teams with either a losing record in the SEC or teams in in a sub-tier league (ACC or 1-AA). Not exactly the kind of action worth the average $100 per ticket price I’ve paid for more than 15 years, IMHO.

Until we played ASU a few years ago we haven’t played any tough outta conference opponents since Michigan 1965. Boise St was nice last year except for getting blown out. :(

Would love to do like Bama and play a tough non-conference team each year. They play Michigan for example next year. We start with BUFFALO. Gee-bus. They also started season with VT and Clemson recently. Saban believes you get better by playing tough opponents. Coach Richt and Ga AD are you listening??? I’m not gonna continue donating huge sums of money without a return on my investment (good games).

I have had season tickets for 6 years and did not renew. It’s sad but I can no longer justify the expense with the home schedule they have. The fans of this program have been loyal to a fault, even with the prediction of a successful season I am not willing to pay to watch them club a baby seal. Pay the scalpers the big for the big games, watch big games on TV while the Dawgs play the like of Buffalo.

cmac22,

I agree next season will be a joke………………no different (luck of the draw) from last season.

The Dawgs will likely win most games and lose big time in the bowl game…………..hmmmmmmmmm.

think there is a plan in place for winning during the season but unable to beat any real team?

Yep, commend Pres. Adams, McGarity, Richt and Bobo for this entire mess.

ahahahahahah man you are a retard. in the past 7 years bama got a total of……… 4 top ten players from Ga. while in that same period UGA got 31. hmmmmmmm………

Wonder which is better??? 31 or 4????

Keep going by the proven flawed star system if you want. Just shows how dumb you are!!

The DA claims that UGA got 31 top players out of GA (most stars) compared to 4 for ALA and then says that the star system is flawed.
You can’t make this stuff up!
