More buzz about Georgia-Florida and Jacksonville

   While University of Florida president Bernie Machen apparently is ready to extend the contract to play the Georgia-Florida football game in Jacksonville, Georgia is not at that point, UGA athletics director Damon Evans said Tuesday.

   Machen was quoted by the St. Petersburg Times as saying at Florida’s athletics board meeting Monday that he will meet soon with officials in Jacksonville and expects the game to remain there on an annual basis. Machen said he thinks Georgia is “leaning the same way we are” and the parties are “headed toward a meeting of the minds.”

   Not so fast, Evans basically replied.

   “We haven’t even sat down to have our internal meetings about that yet,” Evans said. “We will do that in the month of July.

   “We have not made any decision. . . . It’s not a big surprise that they [Florida officials] want to keep the game there. I guess they were able to come to their decision a lot faster. I just want to look at it hard, and that’s what we’re going to do. And then come out with a decision and move forward.”

    At Georgia’s athletics board meetings last month, UGA President Michael Adams said he had “no predisposition” about what to do with the game. But Adams also said: “The thing that has consistently driven me in that equation is all the folks in South Georgia who say this is their best chance to see a live game. . . . There are things we want yet out of the city of Jacksonville that can even the playing field a bit.” Then he said again: “There is no predisposition to doing anything.”

  Evans said Tuesday that  ”nothing has changed” on Georgia’s stance since his earlier comments that the school is open to all options — keeping the game in Jacksonville, moving it to the campuses or playing it occasionally in the Georgia Dome — after the current Jacksonville contract expires with the 2010 game. But Evans, like Adams,  is on record as saying that moving the game from its traditional home in Jacksonville would not be a decision to be made lightly. The game has been played there for all but two years since 1933.

   Machen was quoted this week as saying he wants to resolve some security issues with Jacksonville but “hopefully we will be able to sign an extension before the end of the summer.”

It looks like the Techie Terrorists have nothing to talk about again, so they are blogging about a Ga/Fla game. They must be planning to leave some IED’s around the area. There is absolutely no reason other than that for them to be on here. An then there is the Ohio State fan talking about whining. That is real good, maybe they would like to play another SEC team! They don’t have a very good record there now do they? Techies either. But both seem to be great at beating divison 2 schools in squeakers. Beware of the Dogs, the bulldog bite is back.

Hey Ohio State fan, using your logic, I guess you better quit playing bowl games, or anyone outside the Big 10 or whatever it is now

Hey Gridorn Gator you have not won that many SEC championships, so quit talking like you have. You do have alot to crow about with the 2 recent MNC.

Southside Dawg—-It was a miracle of scheduling. I have never heard how Spurrier and/or the UF Athletic Association arranged for bye weeks for something like 10 out of 12 seasons Spurrier was coach. I don’t know the answer, and I’ve never heard a remotely reasonable explanation.

Bottom line: For the 2009 season, UGA gets the bye week, and Florida plays an SEC game on the road the weekend before the Florida-Georgia game. No excuses.

Like you, I would like to see Florida play Miami every year during the regular season. The original logic for dropping the annual home-and-home series was the expansion of the SEC schedule to 8 games in 1992. Florida needed 6 home games to pay for the athletic department’s budget, and would have been several million dollars short in the years when the game was played in Miami. With the expansion to a 12-game regular season, I see no reason why the Gators’ athletic budget could not survive with 7 home games in years when the Miami game was played in Gainesville, and 6 home games for seasons when the UM game was played in Dolphin Stadium. But, what do I know? I’m just an alumnus who enjoys good football . . . .

BTW, Spurrier and Jeremy Foley tried to revive the UF-UM series as a neutral site game in the late 1990s, when the Gators were riding high and the Hurricanes weren’t, and the UM athletic department wanted no part of it. That was somewhat ironic, because the Canes beat the Gators in two bowl games in the early 2000s. In any event, the series should be revived. If the Gators add an annual match-up with UM to their 8-game SEC schedule and their annual rivalry game with FSU, you can expect the remaining two games to be played at home against the likes of FIU, FAU, UCF and Charleston Southern.

I want home and home, but here is a number you need to think about. The gators since 1991 have had 16 out of 19 games with GA after a BYE week….Im not a fool. That number sounds familiar.
16 out of 19….HMMMMMMM.

Oh and GA has a bye week before the gators this year. Doesnt guarantee a win…but hey, it dont hurt either. Go dawgs.

Larry—-No question, no need to think about it. The Gator fanbase clearly prefers that the game stays in Jacksonville. We like the neutral site tradition, and the national attention that it brings to the game. It makes it something special, not just another SEC game. The Gators have won 16 of the last 19 games, the game has a 76-year history in Jacksonville, and the Jacksonville beaches and Georgia coast provide a welcome final weekend before it’s too cold to enjoy the water. You’re right—-why would we want to move the game? (Other than the fact that our home stadium seats 6,000 to 7,000 more fans for home games, depending on the game-day configuration of the stadiums, that is.)

Gator fans who live in Florida don’t understand what Dawg fans’ travel time questions are all about. Gator fans from Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Naples, Key West and Pensacola already travel the same or greater distance as Atlanta and north Georgia Dawg fans to get to Jacksonville (or Gainesville, for that matter). If you look at the major population centers of Florida and Georgia, Jacksonville is about as close to the geographic population center as you can get. If the University of Florida were in Tampa or Miami, and the UF campus weren’t 75 miles from Jacksonville, we wouldn’t be having this discussion in the context of “home field advantage.”
If you’ve ever driven from Gainesville to downtown Jacksonville, along US 301 through the small-town speed-traps of Waldo, Starke and Lawtey, you would know that it’s more like a 2-hour drive (not a 1-hour drive, as others have suggested), and even longer on a game-day Saturday when student and fan traffic overwhelm these roads.

Personally, I think the Gators’ alleged home field advantage in Jacksonville is dramatically over-stated, and that’s why most Gator fans would not object to playing the game in Atlanta on some form of rotating basis. Why not? After all, it’s not Jacksonville itself that makes the game special; it’s the neutral site tradition. Most Gator fans have good memories of the SEC championship games and NCAA regionals played in the Dome. But playing UGA’s home games in Atlanta would be UGA’s choice, not ours, however. As I wrote earlier, UGA can play its Florida-Georgia home games anywhere it wants. If the schools can’t agree on a neutral site, the game defaults to a standard home-and-home series with no 50-50 seating arrangements, etc. In the absence of a contract to the contrary, UGA can play its home games in Athens or anywhere else it wants.

I was born and raised in Neptune Beach on the coast from Jax. As a Gator fan and eventually an alumnus, I had to live through the 70’s and 80’s of us getting our tails whipped almost every year by Coach Dooley and Coach Russell. I never heard them or any Georgia fan talk about moving the game back then. You guys loved coming down, beating our behind, and then partying it up. It wasn’t until Coach Spurrier was hired, installed grass at Florida Field so that our players got used to playing on that surface (thus evening the playing field since Sanford Stadium always had grass), and convincing our players to believe we could beat UGA every year that the series has changed momentum. Stop the whining and crying, all the excuses about how costly the trip is and man up. Get rid of the Bobby Bowden trained wuss of a coach and go out and get someone who knows what it means to be a Junkyard Dawg. If you decide to run out on tradition you’ll have to ask South Carolina permission to use the female equivalent of their mascot. You chickens!!!

Atlanta Gator,

You make a compelling argument for Jacksonville, and this has been the argument for over 75 years. However, times have certainly changed as Jacksonville is no longer a nice mid size town at the GA/FL border and is indeed a major city in the state of FLORIDA and any way you slice it this must have at least some psychological advantage to Floridians plus the convenience issues. Try telling an 18-19 year old Georgia player would has to board the plane at Hartsfield for a flight to Jacksonville, Florida to just forget about where you’re going! Yes, if the University was in Tampa or Miami the distance would be less and the convenience factor not as much as issue, but still UF is your state university as UGA is Georgia’s state university.

On another note, I’m sure many, many Floridans would enjoy the experience of the fall leaf season of the north Georgia rolling hills and could incorporate a visit to Stone Mountain, Lake Lanier Islands or maybe take in a Falcons Game! Again, my argument of a four year rotation of Jacksonville, Atlanta, Gainesville and Athens gives everyone a little something of what they want and clearly removes any debate of a competitive imbalance. Plus, perhaps its past time for all off us to consider the college students in this relationship and allow them to enjoy the experience, at least once per year, of watching this great rivalry in their stadium and not having to abandon their campuses to do so! As a parent I’d sure like this!

Playing in JAX is good for both programs.As far as UGA doing better on the field…Evans should schedule a bye week every year before the game…Fla imo puts more emphasis on the game than UGA…they normally have a bye before this game.It’s starting too look like UGA is stubbornly trying not to admit that is a factor in the match up.

Atlanta Gator

June 24th, 2009

southgadawg88—-Under Spurrier, the Gators DID put more emphasis on the game because Spurrier believed that the road to an SEC championship passed through Jacksonville. And you know what, he was right.

It’s not about beating the Dawgs for the sake of beating the Dawgs. Since 1992, in those seasons the Gators have beaten both Tennessee and Georgia, they have won the SEC East 8 of 9 times, thus earning nine bids to the SEC Championship Game. At the end of the season, that’s all that matters.

Here’s the secret formula for “winning it all”:

[Win over UT] + [Win over UGA] = [SEC East Championship]

81% certainty

[SEC East Championship] + [Win over SEC West Champion] = [SEC Championship]

100% certainty

[SEC Championship] = [BCS Bowl Bid]

100% Certainty

[SEC Championship] + [11 Regular Season Wins] = [BCS Championship Game Bid]

80% Certainty

It’s simple, really. = )

Atlanta Gator

June 24th, 2009

southgadawg88 & dawgstephen—–Clearly, it’s better to have a bye week before a big game than not. However, the statistics in the Florida-Georgia series are not overwhelming. UGA has three wins (1997, 2004, 2007) in the last 19 games in the series.

In 1997, Florida had a bye week before the game; Georgia did not. UGA won.

In 2004, neither Florida nor Georgia had a bye week before the game. UGA won.

In 2007, Georgia had a bye week; Florida did not. UGA won.

In Florida’s 16 wins, the Gators had bye weeks before 12 of them. Four of the wins came after playing another SEC team the week before.

Also worth noting: the Evil Genius’ first three wins over UGA (1990, 1991, 1992) did NOT follow bye weeks, nor did Meyer’s win over UGA during the Gators’ 2008 championship season.

So, it’s a bit more of mixed bag than many of you may selectively remember.

Atlanta Gator, I am not sure that UF has played in 8 SEC championhip games. UGA has played in 4. UT in a couple, the math doesn’t work out. Nonetheless, your percentages and odds are right on, mainly becuase you can’t lose to those two teams and have the best record in the east.

You guys have done a good job, and Sprurrier’s goals were a little differnt, he only beat UGA once, and UGA handed his rear to him his senior year and cost him a chance at the MNC. Back then they called it before the bowls, so he had a great shot if he goes undefeated.

The thing about Darth Visor is that he set goals, and then accomplished them. When he didn’t doesn’t, he is not a happy camper. My father, whom has since passed away, and a great UGA fan said “he doesn’t do anything right except beat you”. That he did. Sooner or later he will slip in a great team at SC, but it is hard to do, he can’t get the players, and they don’t want to come there. Columbia is not like Athens, Gainesville, or Knoxville for that matter.

Gators need to bask in the glory, as the great Roman Conqurerors would return with the spoils of victory for far a way conquests, and parade through the streets of Rome, all around were cheering except the servant whispering in the ear of the Conqureror “all glory is fleeting”.

Denver Dawg—-Actually, the Gators have played in 9 SEC Championship Games (1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1999, 2000, 2006, 2008), and won 7 of them (lost to Bama in 1992 & 1999). Spurrier also won an SEC championship in 1991 before the SEC Game was instituted. That’s a total of 8 SEC titles in 19 years. Not bad for a bunch of losers with no history before 1990.

BTW, the Latin expression is “sic transit gloria mundi,” literally, “thus passes worldly glory.” It was mistranslated in George C. Scott’s voiceover at the end of the movie “Patton” as “all glory is fleeting,” which is arguably more poetic in English.

Bet you didn’t know Gator fans are also Latin scholars. = )

Ummmm… dumasticuses, to say UGA has not done well does not bode well by showing one’s intelligence. But if anythng, one should broaden that time frame to make it more accurate as the Dawgs have won 2 out of 5, which is better than what it was prior to these last five years. Obviously I cannot argue the record overall, since this streak by UF started, but recent history doesn’t support the statement that UGA loses all the time. I mean, heaven forbid, UGA wins this year and make sit 3-3 and sends Timmy out a loser to the Dawgs, but only time will answer that possibility.

Only Tech fans can come out of the woodwork and make such an obnoxious noise. Once every eight years, not unlike the cicadas. Maybe Tech should change their mascot to the cicada, because you only hear from them, once every seventeen years, just like the cicada that is called Brood X. I like it, the Georgia Tech Cicadas. Here today and gone tomorrow. So sad that they have to live off another teams record against Georgia as theirs certainly is awful and embarrassing to talk about. Since you all like to quote the record of Florida over UGA these past 19 years, let’s see how UGA/GT pans out over the same time period.

Hmmmm…. lookie here, UGA 14 wins GT 5. I would STHU if I were you, Cicadas.

“ITS NOT LOCATION!!! ITS THE BYE WEEK.”

ok, let’s look at some stats, genius:

Games after bye week, UGA

1995: lost to Auburn (Auburn had no bye)
1996: lost to S.Carolina (SC had no bye)
1997: beat S. Carolin (but only because SC had no bye)
1998: beat LSU (but only because LSU had no bye)
1999: lost to Aub
2000: lost to Aub
2001: lost to Aub
2002: beat Ga Tech
2003: beat Auburn (but only because Auburn had no bye)
2004: beat LSU (but only because LSU had no bye)
2005: lost to Auburn (who did NOT have a bye)
2006: beat GaTech (but only because they had no bye)
2007: beat UF (but only because UF had no bye)
2008: lost to Tech

UGa’s result after bye weeks…7-7. and when they won, the opposing team almost never had a bye week along w/ UGA.

So basically: you only can win when the other team has no bye, and, even when you have a bye and the other team does NOT, you still lose half the time.

So what else do you WHINY jagoffs have? i’m still waiting for some humidity data. seriously, don’t you get sick of all the excuses? it’s comical. some of you mutt fans with brains and hearts and courage, start telling these guys what bad names they give your fanbase.

they don’t write books about UGA/Auburn, or even UF/UT…the Border War is a great neutral site game in the history of college ball…i would be embarrassed if it got moved on my watch. so to you fans/coaches/admin of UGA, think seriously about the long term repercussions about throwing history away…instead try to get better as a team and as coaches. UF never wanted to move the game in the 80s. we just brought in a coach you said “enough excuses, let’s just get out there and win the game”, and everyone believed him. he never whined about the distance or the subpar bus mode of travel, or the fact that the Gators wouldn’t be ready for the cooler weather than jax brought.

Actually Tech has been more successful in the last 10 years against UGA (3-7) than UGA has been against Fla (2-8).

In the last 20 years? GT-UGA (6-14) UGA-FLA (4-16).

In the last 1 year? GT-UGA (1-0), UGA-Fla (0-1).

Anyway you slice it UGA has performed worst against Fla than GT has against UGA. In both cases, 6-14 or 4-16 is nothing to brag about.

Georgia needs to move the game if they want to have a realistic chance of winning more than just once every few years. Florida has all the advantages playing in Jacksonville, only a short bus ride from campus, while UGA has to travel hours to get there. Plus, Ga fans get hosed every year by hotels jacking up their rates for the game! Move the game to Athens or Atlanta, and the dawgs will dominate the series!!!!

It would be a shame to put it in Atlanta, which has less tailgating than in Athens, much less the 3 day party when it’s in Jax.
