AD Evans wants Dogs to kick off a season in Georgia Dome
Georgia athletics director Damon Evans said Monday night that he wants the Bulldogs to open a football season in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game at the Georgia Dome at some point.
“It’s something I’m definitely interested in,” Evans said on UGA’s “Bulldog Hotline” radio show, “and I think that Mark [Richt] has some interest in it as well.
“It’s one of those things where [it's difficult] trying to get it to fit the schedule [and] trying to find the appropriate team to play in that particular game, but we’ll get it in at some point in time. And I think it’ll be exciting for us, because it’ll be sort of like a home game, playing in our state.”
Evans said he’s aware of how the Kickoff game has benefited Alabama, which has opened the past two seasons at the Georgia Dome –- vs. Virginia Tech in 2009 and Clemson in 2008.
“Atlanta is fertile recruiting ground, and [the game] gives [Alabama] an opportunity to bring their program in once a year so people in the state of Georgia can see Alabama up close and personal,” he said.
UGA last year rejected overtures to move an occasional Georgia-Florida game or one Georgia-Georgia Tech game to the Georgia Dome. But Evans favors, at least in theory, a season-opening game at the Dome against a non-conference opponen that doesn’t typically appear on the Bulldogs’ schedule.
The game would be in lieu of a road game; it would not replace a home game on UGA’s schedule. The opponent might come from the ACC, given that the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game so far has featured an SEC team vs. an ACC team in each matchup.
LSU and North Carolina are scheduled to play in this year’s game. Tennessee and N.C. State are committed for the 2012 game.
But the Kickoff folks also have talked with programs from around the country about playing in Atlanta.
Evans chatted with voice-of-the-Dogs Scott Howard for about 90 minutes on the final “Bulldog Hotline” show until the fall:
- Aside from the Georgia Dome possibility, Evans said UGA, which has played six home games each of the past two seasons and will do so again this year, “may look at adding another home game in the future to bring it up to seven home games” some years.
- Asked what he wants to accomplish in the year ahead, Evans said: “I know everybody wants to hear this. I’m going to do all I can from my chair to get our football program back to the level that people are used to, and I have no doubt that will happen. I have utmost confidence in Coach Richt to continue to do the things that he’s always done and … position us to compete for championships. And I want to see us grow our basketball program on the men’s side, to make some improvements from this year and get that program to consistently getting in the NCAA tournament. And I think next year is a big step forward for us.”

Rich Rod attemted to install an entirely new offensive system at Michigan without the talent required to effectively implement it.
I would really like to see ND and UGA agree to a home and home at some point. I think the fans of both schools would enjoy the atmosphere at the others’ campus very much.
The schools do share a bit of history besides meeting in the 1981 Sugar Bowl. Legendary UGA Coach Harry Mehre was also one of Knute Rockne’s Seven Mules, who blocked for the Four Horsemen.
Over the years, ND has hosted and visited TN, LSU, Vandy, Alabama and Ole Miss. It’s about time for UGA and ND to get together!

Georgia should give up football if they don’t win it all in 2010. They don’t play BAMA or LSU, Teabow is gone, and the VOLS have a new coach. Also, BAMA plays Florida, South Carolina and Tennessee and LSU also plays Florida which should give you the SEC EAST on a silver platter.Tr.
So stop whining and play so football pups. PS—Don’t wear Black to the Championship game (dummies)!!!!

OTTO and UGA RULES – good arguement between you two.
And remember this – GUYS -IT’S NOT ABOUT THE WINS – IT’S ALL ABOUT THE LOSSES!!!
The bowls prove year end and year out – it’s about how many losses you have – see Hawaill in 2008. who did they play? You go undefeated – you play in BIG TIME BOWL. It’s reality.
If you are smart – you strictly focus on your conference games – and use the other games as tune ups and live scrimmages. Florida does this every year – with the exception of FSU.
SEC teams do not have to schedule OOC national powers as this conference is TOP HEAVY – and at the end of the day – it’s the amount of LOSSES you have that matters – not wins.
TENNESSEE schedules more national powers OCC – why? NEEDS – HS football in Tennessee is not deep – we rely on recruiting Nationally to compete. WE have to recruit kids from all over – it’s NEEDS based!
Florida, Alabama, AUB, UGA and LSU – have great recruiting advantages because those states have so much better BLUE CHIP High School football Programs. Look at Tennessee’s football roster and count how many are home grown – it will shock you!!!! Not many at all.
What about BIG 10 and Pac 10?
You see some good OOC games every year – but B10 tradionally plays fewer conference games and has to schedule MORE OCC.
Look at Ohio STATES OOC schedule year in and year out. Give them props for playing USC or TEXAS – with their weak schedule – they needed to beef up for some respect – but this is ONE game a year – and the B!) is not deep. Ohio State has made a living playing AT HOME against AKRON, YOUNGSTOWN STATE, TOLEDO, OHIO UNIVERSITY, etc. Can’t blames them – guarenteed win – guarenteed home game – guarenteed dollars – less risk to get to major bowl or beaten up before MICHIGAN show down.
UGA plays GT every year – still has to deal with Florida, Aubrn, Tennessee, – then SC and KY – then rotate in SEC WEST – ARK, ALA, LSU -OLE MISS.
UGA focusses on CONFERNCE GAMES and GT – then schedules OOC like what FLORIDA or AUBURN – then UGA is in better position to get to a better bowl game – play more games at home – keep the money – play depth – less risk for injury – and play for a TITLE.

I don’t understand this whole notion that playing in the Georgia Dome somehow gives these out of state programs a big edge in recruiting Georgia. Like high school football players in Georgia have never heard of Bama, Clemson, or VT football without them coming to town for the Chicken Classic every year. Get real. They have cable television and the internet. They watch the games on TV and read about them on the internet just like the rest of us. Bama recruits Georgia well because Nick Saban is their coach and he wins championships. He would recruit Georgia well regardless of the Chicken Classic. Some stud 5 star guy isn’t going to go to Clemson just because they played in the Georgia Dome one year. Big harry freaking deal. Like playing in the Dome is some unique once in a lifetime experience or something.
I think the Chicken Classic is a great idea but don’t buy this crap about how it impacts recruiting in Georgia. I hear that thrown around a lot and I think its bogus. Thanks for listening to my rant.

Gator on the loose – re your 12:17 post – you really want to go there?
Look at your OOC conference – outside FSU – who have you played?
I will tell you:
In 2009 – it was Charleston So, Troy and FL Int’l.
IN 2008 – it was Hawaii, Miami, Citadel
IN 2007 – W. KY, Troy, FL ATL
in 2006 – So Miss, UCF, W. Carolina
Not fighting you – read my 12:25 post.
FLORIDA knows it’s about the number of LOSSES you have – not the wins.
Also – FLORIDA plays plenty of BIG NAME schools year in and year out – they do not need to play Nebraska -or Oklahoma – OOC. Florida will play every year: FSU – UGA – TENNESSEE – LSU – S.CAR – KY – VANDY – then rotate SEC WEST – AUB, AL, OLE MISS, ARK, MISS STATE.
Enough said – move on

“UGA focusses on CONFERNCE GAMES and GT – then schedules OOC like what FLORIDA or AUBURN – then UGA is in better position to get to a better bowl game – play more games at home – keep the money – play depth – less risk for injury – and play for a TITLE.”
I couldn’t agree more and was the point I was trying to make. Georgia took it’s 4th OOC game and went after another BCS to play. I still like this move, but don’t want to add a season opener against another BCS team at the dome if it means we have to give up a “warm up” team to do it.
I would rather see the other SEC teams go out and play better schools OOC, since they are so awesome, and prove they are the best. Lets face it, since 2006 when we went to 4 annual OOC games, UF has had one ranked OOC opponent. LSU one. UT one. UGA three.

I like:
1. Move GA-FLA to opening weekend every year and rotate between ATL and JAX, continuing the 50/50 spilt on tickets and resulting bowl-like game atmosphere you’d lose if we ever go home/home. Then, even if Bama and others wanted to play in ATL in the years we play in JAX we’d still have an equal or better headliner for recruting and “branding” purposes.
2. Sign a deal with Texas or Oklahome to play opening weekend in ATL and then the follwoing season at Jerry’s place in Dallas. Arrange a 70/30 or 60/40 allocation on tickets, which would still promote somewhat of a regional “home” feeling, but allow more fans from the “visiting” school to get to a huge non-conference game they otherwise would never have a chance to if they played a true home/home. Huge appeal for Jerry’s ego, and either match-up would have much greater national appeal as a true “kick-off” game than the SEC-ACC match-ups we’ve seen so far at the Dome. Recruiting potential for the “vistitor”, but at the same time not necessarily infringing on the “home” team’s core recruiting turf.
3. Same scenario as Texas or Oklahoma, but schedule Notre Dame in a similar split between ATL and the new Giants Stadium in New York. Again, the ticket split allows greater appeal to fans. ND has a history of playing these “road” games in the past, so there might be a selling opportunity there. The idea of UGA playing Army in New York has been flaoted before, so this might not be too far-fetched.

13 NATIONAL TITLES – 22 SEC TITLES!!!
LOWNDES COUNTY – from one Southerner to another – the confederate flag belongs in a museum. The CSA was oppressive to the rights of Black people and was a slap in the face to the freedoms and dreams of our founding fathers.
You are correct in that the UNITED STATES did not invent slavery.
Slavery was here when our founding fathers formed this great country – and they also knew that Slavery would have to be abolished in order for this country’s potential and ideals were to be truly realized.
Did you know that Virginia and Georgia – as colonies – tried to outlaw slavery upon their formation – only to be blocked and turned down by the King of England?
A high majority of CSA soldiers did not own slaves – they fought for the CSA as STATEs were more independent and were more like countries at the time.
However – and let’s be CLEAR – this is not historical revision. The MAIN reason the CIVIL war was fought was because so STATE’s rights….. and the SOUTHHERN STATES underlying reason was labor – SLAVE LABOR – until it ran it’s course.
All countries have bad history – All do. All countries have blood on their hands. It is the struggle of man – and will continue to do so. However – name a country that went to WAR with itself – with SLAVERY as the underlying reason.
Say what you will about this country – it’s history, etc. There is not a more EXCEPTIONAL country currently on this planet. This is truly an incredible country where an immigrant can have nothing – and die wealthy.
My concern is that this used to be the country of independence – can do attitude – where nobody owed you anything. Now, thanks to both DEMOCRATS and REPUBLICANS – they have decided to make this the country of ENTITLEMENT. We are quickly turning into a Socialized European Country with Huge Debt – people feel entitled to have things provided for them. In stead of being a beacon of being Exceptional – our leaders want us all on equal footing with European Socialist. WHY???? Because the rest of the world wants us to be like them – not them to be like us. And those PUSSIES we keep putting in Washington are chipping away at the FREEDOMS our founding fathers and ancestors fought and died for.
With that said – when Texas succeeds from the UNITED SOCIALIST STATES of AMERICA – I’m moving to DALLAS!!!

Everyone wanting UGA to move a game to the dome need to explain one thing. What impact would come from playing 60 miles from campus that a home game in Athens would not do. UGA needs to concentrate on who they are playing and winning. If UGA can go back to beating UT, UA and UF every other year they will get the hype and publicity they need for recruiting. Someone said it earlier but Alabama, Florida, etc. are not recruiting the state of GA because they play in August, they recruit well because they have top coaches that play in Atlanta in December. If we win our games the rest will take care of itself.

Vols Rule, Solid points. Agreed on UT. Fulmer did a solid job recruiting out of state and out of the southeast for much of his time as HC. I do agree UGA does not need the OOC as bad as others but does need something to change the image UGA built up by not traveling.
The SEC is top heavy at the moment but that could change if some of the younger coaches don’t pan out and Les flames out.

Has playing Florida in Jacksonville helped UGA recruit in Jax or in Florida in general? Probably not since the Dawgs are usually embarrassed down there. Playing in the Dome wont make any difference either. The Dawgs need to focus on winning the SEC East, not playing in exhibition games like Ok State, Colorado, or a Dome game. Wow, I cant believe Jim Donnan did a better job in the SEC East his last four years compared to Richt’s last four years.
