Stokan denies Georgia-USC rumor
A hot rumor spread from the West Coast on Wednesday that the USC football team would come to Atlanta to play Georgia in the 2011 Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game. (It spread the new-fashioned way, from Twitter to message boards.) But Gary Stokan, the game’s president, denied the rumor when I called to ask him about it Wednesday night.
He said there have been talks with USC about a possible appearance in the 2011 game — but not, he said, against Georgia.
“Georgia is not a possibility for 2011,” Stokan said.
He said UGA, through former athletic director Damon Evans, expressed interest in playing in the season-opening game in the Georgia Dome at some point in the future but indicated the next few years wouldn’t work schedule-wise.
Georgia is scheduled to open the 2011 season against Louisville in Athens.
As for USC, Stokan said Trojans coach Lane Kiffin sent him a text message in February to suggest a 2011 Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game matchup against his former team, Tennessee. “It’d be a great storyline,” Stokan quoted Kiffin as telling him in a subsequent phone conversation. Stokan said new Tennessee coach Derek Dooley later told him he’d be willing to play USC in Atlanta — after he has three years or so to get his program established.
The bottom line, Stokan said, is that the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game still doesn’t have a 2011 matchup.
“We don’t have an opponent [for USC],” Stokan said. “We don’t have USC either.”
Stokan does have matchups for 2010 (LSU-North Carolina on Sept. 4) and 2012 (Tennessee-N.C. State).
++++++++++++++++
Speaking of scheduling: Georgia hasn’t finalized or announced its 2010-11 basketball schedule yet, but the Bulldogs will open the season at 7 p.m. on Nov. 12 in the new-look Stegeman Coliseum against Mississippi Valley State. That’s according to a schedule posted on the MVSU website.

F–off and find whatever blog to which you really belong.
jacketbrave –
After that drunk you put on from your dead mother’s liquor cabinet last night I’m surprised you came back. You know the North Ave. Trade School has its own blog, don’t you? They may let you brag about women’s softball there. I am curious: when you post on a UGA blog, are your pants up?

Well, this is interesting. First, someone has posted under my name. No harm done there. Second, jacketbrave and other Tech fans want to explore my anus — which I would expect from Tech fans. Hmm.
So let’s get down to bare facts:
– at Tech the girls say the odds are good but the goods are odd.
– what do you call a good looking girl at Tech: a visitor
– how do do get a Tech grad off your front porch?
— two choices:
— pay him for the pizza
— enforce the TRO

Did y’all know “jacketbrave” posts here because he got kicked off the Tech blogs? Had something to do with an Internet predator restraining order. He was interviewed by Dateline. His defense was he was 13 but had the body of a 14 yr old.

Kiffin sending out text messages, that is comical like he is the truth of something to send out anything. shameless creep..loves that Ga Dome, tried to hard to take over the state of Ga with billboards, helicopter rides to h.s. games, but when Kiffin had the chance to play in the bowl game vs VT, he wouldn’t even shake Beamers’ hand. What a classless, shamless creep of creeps. I hope they shut down USC program all together not because of Carroll but because of this idiot. That day will come.
You know I also do not understand why Tn hired Derek Dooley. Why? Because his father won a national title 30 years ago? I do not see Kyle Petty or Dale Earnhard Jr doing a d@mn thing in NASCAR so I hope there is a better reason than being somebody’s son. And honestly with a losing record at La Tech, what was Tn thinking?
I wish GT would play Bama in the kickoff classic, but if not them, then then FL.
