Why Idaho State?
Georgia’s 2009 football schedule is an aberration, what with three non-conference games against opponents from BCS leagues: Oklahoma State, Arizona State and Georgia Tech. Georgia’s norm will be two such opponents: Tech and one other.
Next year’s schedule will be the norm.
That schedule was finalized Tuesday, with word that Idaho State will -– for a tidy fee of $525,000 — travel 2,000 miles from Pocatello to Athens to play the Bulldogs on Nov. 6, 2010. The Bengals join Louisiana Lafayette, Colorado and, of course, Georgia Tech on the Dogs’ 2010 non-conference schedule.
So that adds up to two BCS opponents (Colorado and Tech), one lower-tier Division I-A opponent (Louisiana Lafayette) and one I-AA opponent (Idaho State). And that’s essentially the schedule model Georgia wants.
(Yes, I know the NCAA no longer uses the I-A and I-AA designations. But it’s still clearer than the current designations of FBS and FCS, right?)
Oklahoma State and Arizona State wound up on the Dogs’ schedule the same year not by design, but because of the difficulty of finding other compatible dates for the second games of two-game contracts with both schools. It just sort of worked out this way, and Georgia seems pretty determined not to let it work out the same way again. Georgia says, however, that it is firmly committed to playing one BCS-level opponent in addition to Tech each year.
Georgia will pay Louisiana Lafayette $875,000 and Idaho State $525,000 for their trips to Athens next year. Why the wide disparity? Lower-tier I-A opponents (such as Louisiana Lafayette) can command more money than I-AA opponents (such as Idaho State) because the NCAA allows only one victory per season over a I-AA opponent to count toward bowl eligibility.
The price for I-A opponents that do not require a return date continues to escalate. Georgia will pay New Mexico State $925,000 for a 2011 trip to Sanford Stadium and North Texas $975,000 for a 2013 trip.
When Idaho State plays in Athens next year, the typical Sanford Stadium audience of 92,000-plus will represent the largest crowd ever to watch a Big Sky Conference team in action, Idaho State noted in its announcement of the game.
By the way, Idaho State (0-4) opened this season with a 47-point loss to . . . Arizona State, which lost to Georgia by 3 last weekend.
—————-
On a different topic, I’ve gotten several questions about the possible kickoff times for the Oct. 10 Georgia-Tennessee game. Here’s what is known for sure: It’ll be an afternoon game. Whether it’ll start at noon, 12:21, 12:30 or 3:30 won’t be known until after this weekend’s games. It won’t be a night game, because CBS has an exclusive 8 p.m. SEC window on Oct. 10 and already has selected Florida-LSU. There will be no SEC night games on the ESPN networks on Oct. 10. If CBS doesn’t select Georgia-Tennessee for its 3:30 telecast, then the game will go into one of the noon-ish slots (12:00 on ESPN or 12:30 on ESPNU or 12:21 on the SEC Network syndication package). CBS will pick its 3:30 Oct. 10 game after this weekend’s action (no later than Monday). Hope this makes sense.

Cupcakes galore? UGAs schedule this yr. & last….is one of the toughest in the nation. So, I think they’re aboiut due for a break. It’s tough enough playing in the SEC already. There’s no need to add too many extra tough games on top of their reg. SEC schedule…especially considering that they have to play Tech every yr. too. If you want to accuse anybody of playing a cupcake schedule…go talk smack about teams that play in a lesser conference.

I understand all of the logic behind scheduling people like Idaho State and Bumblef**k State. What I dont get is why other SEC teams like Alabama and Tennessee have no problem scheduling the better teams. Alabama has Penn State next yr..we get Idaho St. That is pitiful and as a season ticket holder it is a rip off to have 3 crappy games every yr out of 6. Ill still get em of course, but im gonna bitch about it. I wish Damon Evans would step up and schedule a real team but I guess that is never going to happen. I can hardly wait for this scintillating game next yr.

If Willie’s still around next year Idaho State could be an opponent to worry about. They can probably score at least 33 points on Willie’s D.
Really, when is something going to be done about Willie Martinez? Can Richt and Evans not read the handwriting on the wall. Look at all the stats … what in the world is going on? Is loyalty more important than the entire Georgia program. Come on Damon … put a little fire under Mark Richt. Yep, Idaho State could be the sleeper next year if Willie’s D continues on the same course as this year.

The problem is that Georgia can’t win Championships by just the number of victorys alone. You have to not only beat other SEC teams but have a decent schedule as well. What value is there to beat Idaho State by 50 points for just a win. You can’t show how good you are by this type of win.

Old Gator you can win Championships by playing these (Idaho State) type of teams. You may want to look at the Gators schedule before you make those comments. Charelston Southern, Troy, and Florida International. Hanging 50 or more points on the board against these type of teams don’t seem to have hurt the Gators ranking in the past and the present.

Unfortunalty is right, weak schedules is what works for some schools, and then when the bowl invitations come out the BCS can use it against you if they so desire to get the matchup they want.
ESPN has been the biggest factor in the past few years, lets face it, how many times last year did you see ESPN Gameday from Utah? None. How many times did you see them on Sportscenter after a win? Maybe once after they beat Alabama.

In light of the 2009 schedule, the 2010 schedule is “compensation” to balance things out. And a good thing, too, since UGA will be using untested QBs next season (discounting whatever mop-up time Logan Gray gets against Tenn Tech later this season). Good timing. Same thing worked out for Tech in 2008, playing a couple of 1-AA opponents the first year the Jackets were learning CPJ’s option offense.

As usual – UGA is returning to a schedule of creme puffs for their non-conference schedule. Come on – Idaho State and Louisiana Lafayette??
And when you try to defend this schedule by saying “well, the rest of the teams in the SEC does it” – only makes the SEC record against non-conference teams more stacked; so they (the SEC) can brag about how they do against nonconference schools. Just look at the non-conference schedule this year for the rest of the SEC – pretty pathetic.

Not a UGA fan here, but I agree 100% with the move to play the tater farmers. UGA has learned of late, that playing a tough non-conference schedule doesn’t help anyone. For example, Florida has had one of the easiest non-conference schedules in the land this year, and it hasn’t hurt them in the rankings. Strength of schedule is overrated. All a strong schedule gets you is 2 or 3 losses and ranking of somewhere between 15 and 20. Just make sure you don’t pull a Michigan in one of these games.

Right. Just like the WLOCP will always be called that… because that’s what it is and that’s who they are.
I do, however, enjoy the dig at Div. 1-A by calling them the Bowl Subdivision and 1-AA the Championship Subdivision, acknowledging the fact that Div. 1-A championships are not officially recognized by the NCAA.

As far as playing 1-AA teams are concerned:
We do all understand that games like these are the lifeblood financially for most of these schools??? I don’t know what ISU’s athletic budget is but I would venture a guess that the trip to UGA will pay a lot of bills in potato country.

Everyone needs to lay off the “patsy” scheduling insults. We play UF, UT, and Auburn every season, and LSU and Alabama every other season or so. Our SEC schedule would insure GT a 4 loss season every year if they played it. So it’s ok for us to have some soft opponents on our schedule. The only real breaks we get is Vanderbilt and Ga Tech, who will only be competitive against us every 6 or 7 seasons or so. So besides those 2, we really have no easy games among the teams we play every season. So if Boise St. can play the schedule they have and still be in the running for a BCS game, I’m all for putting in an easy game or 2.

The question on the table is why Idaho State.
The answer is that Georgia is locked in to playing a home game every year with a team that does not require a return visit which Div 1A teams normally do.
The reason for this is Georgia’s insistance of playing one home game at Jacksonville, FL every other year which screws up the schedule for home and away scheduling.
If the dumb butts would move the UGA – UF game to Athens when it is a UGA home game, then we could schedule a better home game opponent than Idaho State because we could travel to their stadium on a return trip and still have 6 home games.
If you stop and think about the scheduling, and the requirement for 6 games in Athens each year (including the year when Georgia has a 7th home game in Jacksonville, FL, then you should be able to figure it out for yourself.

Well, I for one can’t fault UGA for signing a weak team like Idaho St. I hate to say this, but it’s just the truth. Patsy teams help a team fine tune. Playing Jacksonville St. probably helped us work some kinks out of our offense. And later in the season, it actually can act as sort of a bye week. UGA will be playing Idaho St. between the UF and Auburn game, so it will benefit them. I for one think it’s ok for GT to have a soft game some where in between several weeks of playing VT, Miami, Clemson and FSU. When UGA plays the likes of UF, Alabama and LSU, hard to fault them for this sort of scheduling. JMO.

Tennessee has a great defense and will shut UGA down. On another note change the Ga/Fl venue, it wil not matter if the Gators play UGA in Athens, Jacksonville, or Mars, they have UGA’s number. I would even say it is not even a rivalry game anymore, a rival has to compete with its other rival and 16-3 Florida since 1990 or 7-2 Florida this decade is pathetic.

Here’s what I’d like to see althought it will NEVER happen:
1. Go back to playing an 11 game regular season schedule playing the other 11 SEC teams;
2. Drop the “Trade School” from the schedule (there’s absolutely no benefit to UGA playing that game and quite frankly it’s hard for the players to get up for it and a waste of time for the fans having to put up with a lower tier, mickey mouse program);
3. Drop the SEC championship game because there’d be no need for it after playing all 11 teams in the conference;
4. Have the bowl games just like we do now;
5. Have 4 to 5 teams play for a NC at the conclusion of the bowls.

There have been several comments from non UGA fans about a cupcake schedule. GT fans can’t talk because the ACC looks worse this year than it has in the past five years. The entire conference looks suspect. The UT (east) fan should be quiet about the series with UGA and FL because the last time I checked you guys were looking at a losing record against UGA since 2000. So, I understand the concern of not getting any brownie points for playing cupcakes, but if you do what FL does to them, they can’t hurt you in the rankings. GYSB.

Why Idaho State?
So georgia can stop by and check out the blue turf they will likely be playing on in the Boise Bowl?

Colorado is a lower tier div 1 program. so you have 3 cupcakes. then add in vandy and ky and it’s 5. what a joke. see you stupid rednecks…you talk all this crap about hey look at our schedule. for 2 years it wound up being respectable. now it’s back to the same old wussy fla gator schedule. so you have nothing to bragg about anymore. and you’ll still lose 4 games with that crap schedule.

UGA record against the SEC & Tech before this year:
BAMA 25-35-4 don’t play them every year.
Ark 08-03-0 Won this year in a shootout
Aub 50-53-8 always a hard game no matter who sucks
UF 47-37-2 Bulldogs can’t win this game as of late
GT 59-36-5 not a rival but close enough
UK 48-11-2 Basketball school with a football team
LSU 11-14-1 Close record
Miss 30-12-1 Boy you should be scared to play this team
MSU 16-05-0 There is never another dawg in this fight
Tenn 15-20-2 Tenn is starting over so maybe you can close the gap
USC 44-14-2 Boy it is always close but why
Vandy 48-18-2 Smart kids that play with a weird shaped ball sometimes
So this year if the past is an indicator UGA should
OSU 01-01-0 L even the record and paid money to do it
USC 45-14-2 W Still made USC look better than tey are
ARK 09-03-0 W Do team had D and both SUCK
ASU 01-00-0 W Who cares
LSU 11-14-1 L UGA should lose based on history and WILLIE’s D
Tenn 15-20-2 L Lose based on history but a whole new UT staff
Vandy 48-18-2 W No problem ever
UF 47-37-2 L The winds of change started in the 90’s
TenT 00-00-0 W HAHAHAHA your actually paid these guys to show-up
AU 50-53-8 L History say Au wins in Athens but new staff this year
UK 48-11-2 W Vandy in Blue
GT 59-36-5 W Boy the ACC is so weak I guess UGA will not even show
History says 7-5 but Tenn and Auburn should be wins and Tech will be a good game. UGA tell me how tuff your schedual is. UGA has a losing record against Bama, Auburn, LSU, & UT of all the SEC teams and UGA plays only Auburn and UT every year.

UGA playing Tech is just like UGA playing Idaho State………….it’s a no win situation, i.e. if UGA wins (which they have 7 out of the last 8 years and 30 + over the last 45)it’s expected and if they lose, you’d think Tech just won the NC as exhibited by their fan base this past year. Like I said, it’s a very hard game for the UGA players to get up for compared to the SEC teams because it just doesn’t mean anything; and it’s a pain for the UGA fan base every other year having to pack into that “cracker box” they call a stadium. I’d much rather play every SEC team and drop ALL the cupcakes including Idaho State and the Trade school down on the flats. Techs got a nice little D1 program, but they really have no business playing against any of the big boys.
