The price of going on the road with the Dogs . . .
So what does it cost to go on the road with the Bulldogs?
Georgia said Thursday that cumulative lifetime contributions to the Athletic Association of at least $21,950 were required to gain the right to buy tickets from UGA’s allotment to the Oct. 10 football game at Tennessee. Getting tickets through UGA for the Sept. 5 season opener at Oklahoma State required contributions of at least $4,000.
On the other hand, Georgia said it was able to accommodate all orders from contributors for the Sept. 19 game at Arkansas. Cutoffs haven’t been calculated yet for games at Vanderbilt and Georgia Tech and in Jacksonville against Florida.
Georgia earlier said that $4,205 in lifetime contributions were required to gain the right to buy first-time home season tickets this year. And what about season-ticket holders who wanted to purchase additional single-game tickets to, say, the Oct. 3 home game against LSU? That required contributions of $32,500 to qualify.
Georgia said lifetime contributions of $18,050 and $10,000 were required to qualify to buy single-game tickets to the home games against Arizona State and Kentucky, respectively.
No single-game tickets were available for the home games against South Carolina and Auburn, UGA said, because those schools took the maximum allotment of visitors’ tickets. At the other extreme, Georgia was able to fill all contributors’ orders for single-game tickets to the Nov. 7 home game against Tennessee Tech.
UGA fills ticket orders — whether for season tickets, single-game home tickets (when available) or road tickets — on the basis of prospective purchasers’ cumulative lifetime contributions, starting with the highest and continuing until the ticket supply is exhausted.

Dr. Phil — UGAA is a SEPARATE entity. Their funds have nothing to do with whether the Physics department can make copies or not. And if you paid attention, you would see that UGAA actually donates money to the academic side every year. Keep in mind that all of those student athletes who are on scholarship, uh, yeah that is most of them, their tuition is paid by the GSEF money in the form of donations. The kids get a “free” education in the fact that they don’t fork over the money to UGA, but the donors to UGAA are paying to educate those kids! UGAA and UGA are a pretty good team.

I wonder if “St. Simons” is the guy that was arrested a couple of weeks ago for exposing himself to kids on East Beach?

Just a few observations. For all you trash talkers – you are only as good as your last game. For all you trash talkers – the game is played on the field between 2 teams and the one with the most points win. They don’t win just because you run your big mouth with your pea brain. Finally, if you spend that amount of money for a ticket then you will never get a BCS playoff system. You will only get more controversy which leads to more money. STUPIDS. If you moronic fans would decide to boycott then you would actually have a system that would allow you to brag about something. But then this is why Georgia is ranked so low in education – this would require some ability to think. Also, tell me how UGA thinks Jacksonville is a halfway point between Gainesville and Athens? It is 71 miles Gainesville to Jacksonville and 362 miles from Athens GA to Jacksonville. Yes UGA fans keep talking and proving just how STUPID you are. GO GATORS. And no, I will not pay idiotic prices to watch a bunch of sweaty guys grab hold of each other and then lay in piles together on the ground. I will join those other folks that will sit in an easy chair, in the A/C, without making some con artist rich (or is it richt?).

Tech fans have such an inferiority complex it is really sad to see. It would be neat to have a great in-state rival like Bama has Auburn or Texas has A&M but this pathetic fan base that can’t even fill a 50,000 seat stadium and this pathetic program that hasn’t been to a major bowl game since the 1966 Orange Bowl just doesn’t cut it. Win a championship that doesn’t have “co” in front of it or make it to a BCS Bowl Game and maybe we can be proud to have you as a rival. But for now you are South Carolina to us.

Tech fans are right about it hurting. We’re not as used to that pain as much as THEY are! They should be immune to it by now….

Also, if 45-42 is a “smackdown”, what is 51-7?
