UGA adds Charleston Southern, Georgia Southern to future football schedules

…these two teams will accept $450K and $525K to come to Athens, and AL only pays Ga. State $425K to play in Tuscaloosa, why is UGA paying New Mexico State (or whomever) next year $1mil to play in Athens? Seems like Damon got snookered on that one….

Couldn’t agree more with this move…It’s the current wave in college football to schedule these cupcakes so you can inflate you wins at the end. UGA had nothing to gain by playing Oregon. Make Ga/Fla. a home and home game, then talk to me about toughening up the sched.

We all get upset about these type of teams coming in and getting blasted by the Dawgs. However, these games are the LIFEBLOOD for many of these programs. Where else are they going to raise that kind of money in one day?

It doesn’t fit the “we play anybody anywhere” mindset that fans want but the reality is that the tougher scheduling gets coaches and AD’s fired sooner than they want.

If most of the home games are going to be cup cakes, I think it’s going to get harder to keep the stadium full. I am sick of going to Athens to watch the team practice at high prices. Now if the team continues with Richt, the fun at Athens will go down hill so fast that you can look for a lot of empty seats. I know I’m trying to decide what to do about my 8 season tickets next year. The loss of the Oregon game is a major blow. The dogs have fallen to fight for the bottom instead of the top. Fire Richt!

The UGA/Ga Southern game is great for the state and I
applaud it’s continuation. In 2008, there were over 100000
requests for tix. They will be playing Tech and several other
D-1 schools in the coming years and will probably move up
to the D-1 level. also. “Pass” on Charleston Southerm though.

Richt will not be around to enjoy these future games. Bowden was right on Tuesday evening when he stated “we don’t need to replace all 30 players.” However, he stopped short of stating the obvious. We need to keep the players and replace the coaching staff. Time to get the staff in place that can carry this program to new heights. What the hell are we waiting for? The writing has been on the wall for quite some time now.

An absolute and total embarrassing decision but not surprising since McGarity has orange and blue pom poms all over his office. Disgraceful is all to polite to describe this garbage. How much are we paying these guys to come to Athens?

I understand McGarity is wanting to play South Gwinnett in 2015 but only in Athens. He is not willing to travel to Snellville as it might be too arduous. South Forsyth is ready to fill the bill if the Comets decline.

Pathetic.

Oregon would be a whole lot more interesting than Charleston Southern. MvGarity’s reasoning was to lock in another home game instead of having to make a return trip to Oregon. Plus, the formula of injecting cupcakes in the schedule has worked pretty well at Florida.

Hey for all of you bashing this move – especially from other schools, check your own schedule first. i.e. Auburn Fla etc. Where do they travel and how many home games do they have and how many cupcakes do they play. Fla had 3 cupcakes last year and UGA had 1. So stick it where the sun don’t shine. That said I hate playing these cupcakes and paying $100 per ticket for a cupcakes and a Tenn or Auburn game. But if everybody else is doing it why shouldn’t we.

Remember Appalachian State, JMU, North Dakota State, Northern Iowa, South Dakota, UMass, etc., have defeated FBS schools. Georgia Southern almost beat UGA.

That being said playing in state FCS schools is good business. It helps the FCS school’s budget and it sells out the stadium. Those worried about the value of their tickets will have no problem getting face value or more from Georgia Southern and Georgia State fans, should Georgia State be scheduled, for their tickets should they decide not to attend.

These “cupcakes” serve a purpose. When you play in the toughest conference and have a natural in state rival that is in another BCS conference you don’t need to schedule these other games. The cupcakes give your team a chance to gel (early season), or get healthy (mid-late season)and most importantly get your backups a chance to play. I keep hearing folks bring up Tenn and Alabama, well sure they schedule a big name opponent they don’t have a natural out of conference rival. When Bama schedules a Penn State or Tenn an Oregon those games are their FSU or GT. Why is that so hard to see? Get a grip people! We want to win championships so we go out and bring a local home grown product in McGarity who worked for one of the most successful programs over the last 20yrs, and he starts making changes to put us in the best possible situation to compete for a championship and you’re whinning?! Again I’d rather go to Atlanta in Dec than Eugene in October!

I had a hard time enough time giving away the Louisiana-Lafayette and Idaho State tickets.

Who gives a rat’s ass what Florida does with its schedule. They have the “extra” home game every year with the UGA/Fla game being in-state.

If McGarity wants to have the extra home game help the Athens economy why not make the Florida game rotate?…Gainesville, Athens, Jacksonville, Atlanta.

McGarity seems to be afraid of the Chick Fil A kickoff game.

Another idea would be to schedule Ga. State every year. The game in Atlanta would be essentially another home game.

I guess these ideas make too much sense.

Can’t wait to see what other powerhouses the new AD will be lining-up next. Louisiana-Monroe? Savannah State? Hey wait Kennesaw State will be starting a program soon.

Notice that Richt’s won/loss record is mostly against patsies just like these two. Whenever he plays a top 50 program during the football season he usually loses with one exception…GT. But I really could care less about those wins. Most were against their old coach Gailey and we all know Richt was the better coach. We can’t say that anymore. He is at best 3rd or 4th from the bottom in the SEC coaches and likely in the bottom two. Luckily our talent compensates on most weekends. Why can’t we go out and get a coach worthy of our talent?

Some Dawg fans just aren’t happy unless they’re complaining about SOMETHING!

I’m willing to bet the same folks criticizing McGarity are the very folks who were begging the administration to hire him in the first place.

Look the definition of insanity is doing the same things over and over expecting a different result. The “tough schedule” experiment failed, get over it. Tennessee HAS to schedule these games because they have a low talent pool in Tenn and have to recruit nationwide.

UGA simply needs to keep homegrown talent at home PERIOD! Much like UF.

Again, the man comes from a successful program and was born and raised in Athens so I know he cares about UGA, so until he proves otherwise I’ll trust his judgement. It’s not like the same philosophy hasn’t worked at UF.

No wonder our fans are a laughing stock. NEVER SATISFIED with anything anyone decides and have all the answers. Most here probably think they could tell Eskimos how to better build igloos!

I am not willing to spend my money on coming home to watch us play these little cupcake teams (no offense to them), and sure it may toughen our schedule and we may lose a game or two, but atleast we are on the field and playing football, not patty-cake.

With Grantham’s 3-4 D and much better talent, UGA’s D will be one of the best in the SEC–take it to the bank. UF is way down this year on offense and the GA D will shut them down cold. Ga should win 10 or 11 games if Murray can get it going early.

The problem with playing cupcakes (for Tech too) is that they can easily be lose-lose. If you win, you didn’t win by enough points. If you run up the score, you shouldn’t have run up the score. If, heaven forbid, you lose… Yikes.

I know alot of UGA season ticket holders hate playing GSU and I understand totally. As a GSU fan I think it is great for the Eagles to play these games.It provides the program with cash plus added exsposure. Our program has a lot of ties to UGA with ERK plus back in the day when the program started the equipment that was given by UGA to GSU helped get us started. By the way we do play more BCS schools than UGA. We played Navy 3 weeks ago and lost 13-7. It may be surprising to some of you non UGA fans on this blog that are throwing UGA under the bus for playing us that we just might be on your schedule soon. Our schedule includes Bama 11, UGA 12, Fla 13, LSU 14,Georgia Tech (finally) 15, UGA 16. Thanks UGA we enjoy playing the game. One last thing hey Dawg Day Afternoon why don’t you come on down to Statesboro and sit in that ugly stadium and watch our middle school team hang another championship flag on the pole. We do it the right way we play for a championship on the field not by some stupid BCS BS. You are probably just another one of those UGA fans that their mama bought a hat at Wal-Mart or Cracker Barrel who has never attended a class at UGA! Last time I checked GSU’s record 3-1 UGA 1-3

Time for McGarity to step-up and play some real competition. It will only make the UGA program stronger. And time to get rid of the bible-thumper of a coach while you are at it. Take the watergirl with you too.

UGA needs a coach who can coach. Not babysit and bible preach to a squad of thugs like A. Green. What did Green really do with the $1k from the jersey sale?

Everyone is talking about look at Florida. Yes, look at them. Some may say they had a soft schedule to win their championships. Let’s look at this: They actually won their SEC games. UGA didn’t and don’t. Last 20 yrs, UGA beat UF 3 times. You can play the cupcakes all you want, but if you can’t win that game, you will not be taking a trip to ATL, besides playing Tech.
Someone posted something about S. Carolina. USC plays all the top tier SEC schools every year: Bama, UF, LSU, Tenn, UGA, Razorbacks, Auburn, and Clemson. Also, Kentucky, Miss St. UGA does not play all these schools every year, if they did, it will be heaven help us. They hurried up and got Bama off the schedule.
You can play the powderpuff games and say that’s what the Gators do, but you must win the pivotal game (Florida), before u talk about national championships.

Games like these are needed so players who have been arrested can serve their one game suspension. One is needed at the beginning of the season for the summer arrests, and one later in the season for the fall arrests. This is a brilliant move by McGarity, and an example of why he makes the big bucks.

McGarity just screwed all the UGA season ticket holders.

Here’s how:

Ohio State just recently agreed to pay Colorado $1.2 Million
for a Home/Home series in a couple of years.

It probably costs upwards of $1 Million for UGA to schedule Oregon.
Thats money UGA has to pay Oregon for a Home/Home series.

It costs UGA a WHOLE LOT LESS to schedule a cupcake
like Charleston Southern.

So, while UGA season ticket prices STAY THE SAME, OR EVEN RISE,
the COST of the schedule opponent just went WAAAAAY DOWN.

Kind of like when you go to the grocery store and pay $4.00 for
a half-gallon of ice cream. Except the container is no longer a REAL half-gallon. Its about a 30% smaller carton.

So you end up paying the SAME PRICE as before, for LESS PRODUCT.

Thats what McGarity has just done to UGA because Charelston Southern
is definitely “less product.”.

So you see, McGarity has SCREWED the season ticket holders.

You see UGA fans…to the UGA Athletic Association….
you’re really just…CUSTOMERS…in a STRICTLY Business sense.

The UGA-AA really doesnt care about you.
They care about PROFIT MARGINS.
And hey, there’s nothing wrong with profit margins,
as long as you know thats ALL fans really mean to the UGA-AA.

Its this SAME reasoning that was why the UGA-AA was charging the $10,000 lifetime fee during the 2008 pre-season “hype-fest.”

And the hits just keep on coming !!

Keep thinking Georgia Southern is a Cupcake. Ole Miss thought FCS Jacksonville State was a cupcake. Virginia Tech thought FCS James Madison was a cupcake. Kansas thought FCS North Dakota State was a cupcake and they all got beat. This was in this year alone. Georgia Southern beat App State in the same year they beat Michigan. That same Michigan team went on to beat the Florida Gators in the Bowl that year. So yeah I want you to keep thinking Southern is a cupcake. Btw how’s 0-3 treating you?

hey folks, look on the bright side of this – your new AD is scheduling some games that your pups at least have a chance to win. After all at UGA, under CMR, the intent is to field a mediocre team. You know, a team good enough to win 9-10 games (most seasons), but not good enough to compete with the big boys for titles. Trust me when I say that playing a team like Oregon will help the name of UGA more than Charleston Southern will, but the big L that the Beavers hang on you will hurt more. UGA is nothing more than a pretty decent REGIONAL football team, and will remain so if your new AD has his say.
What brought Florida to the forefront was the boldness of Steve Spurrier, and it has continued under Meyer. Unfortunately for the pups they do not have a coach with the boldness, the charisma, the cutthroat mentality of a Spurrier.

Every major team in the country does this. Look at MOST schedules and you’ll see three “cupcakes”. For those complaining about dropping Oregon…were you planning on attending? Were you planning on getting back to GA in the middle of the night and have to prepare for…?…as soon as you got back?

Granted, I’d rather see Clempsum (or Louisville, or Cincy etc) than Chas.Southern. But, right now they’ve decided with good reason not to schedule western time zone teams any longer. Just too much wear and tear on players, coaches, and fans. Plus, we don’t recruit Oregon (nor Oklahoma), so why play em other than the little bit of national exposure?

Go Dawgs!

People laughed when BAMA scheduled Georgia State. WELL………………………Georgia State took Jacksonville State to overtime before Jacksonville State won. Guess what………………………Jacksonville State beat OLE MISS.

This makes BAMA schedule even stronger. I guess this means UGA will not be scheduling Georgia State anytime soon.

A strong schedule plays a great deal in getting to the BCS Championship. That is why BOISE STATE will probably never get there with the creme puffs they play.

BAMA has 2012 and 2013 games in Atlanta against an ACC oponent that I hear will probably be MIAMI, NC, NCSTATE, OR FSU. Also games in Dallas with Michigan for two years.

UGA is just afraid to play the bigger schools because they know they will lose. SABAN is not afraid. So what if you lose, your schedule will look better than playing the creme puffs like UGA.

Best thing for UGA would have been to play OREGON and beat them. UGA will not win until CMR is gone and you start playing quality teams outside of the conference.

1. Beat UF and UT in the same year..on a regular basis
2. Recruit good players that have great character.
3. If Richt is not willing to do what it takes to win, hire somebody new
4. Demand better results not making excuses.

Let’s set the record straight. Georgia Southern is not a cupcake team in the FCS or the FBS, they are in a rebuilding program at the moment…kinda like UGA. Second, Georgia Southern does play UGA TOUGH when we play between the hedges…the difference in the game comes down to special teams and depth at key positions…you guys don’t exactly destroy Georgia Southern when you play them…scores like 27-7 back when Quincy Carter was QB, and 45-21 back when UGA was ranked #1(what a joke then and now) in the country doesn’t exactly seem like a complete domination by a ’superior’ team. Yeah you won the game…but a truly impressive FBS team like a Florida or Alabama squad wouldn’t have let a team with the personnel of GSU score that many points if any…and let’s not forget that at halftime the score is usually something like 10-7…so stop with the belittling of schools like Georgia Southern…everybody is beatable, just ask Michigan. And when UGA can win and win convincingly and effortlessly then maybe they can ‘toughen’ the schedule…until then why don’t ya’ll focus on trying to win this season…your team is pathetic 1-3…Georgia Southern is at least 3-1…So that being said GO EAGLES…GATA!!!! and WAR EAGLE!!!!

This is unfortunately in the world of the BCS the way to build a championship team.

Playing good games that are actually interesting to watch is good for the viewer bad for the parties involved who have lots to lose when they lose those games.

They are doing what thier fans ultimately say they want… building teams into championship teams. With guys leaving early, the only way to get game experience without suffering setbacks is to pay for wins.

If you’re simply a college football fan it’s the toilet. If you’re a fan of UGA… maybe you can be 7 or 8-0 by the time you have to play Florida and you’re guys may not be as beat up for the game.

I don’t buy that nonsense about fans clamoring for a coach’s head if he schedules a tough game or two. Georgia fans are smart enough to know that last season’s 8-5 record included a tough road loss at Oklahoma State. A 9-4 season that included a blowout over the likes of Charleston Southern wouldn’t have been regarded any higher.

Besides, games like Okie State give you a pretty good indication of how good or bad your team will be that season. Last year was a perfect example. The La-La blowout didn’t tell us anything about Georgia this year. The record says 1-3, but the fans know that the real record is 0-3.

Dawg Fans,
I know it stinks paying full price to watch these types of games but the formula works. It has worked at Florida for the past 20 years. Playing an SEC slate along with an in-state rival (GT or FSU) and a nuetral site game against each other is enough. This affords you a couple of tune-up games to work out the kinks. If UF had played any serious competition in the first 2 games this year then we would be 2-2 versus 4-0. It gives the coaching staff an opportunity to see what the players need to improve on and make some adjustments before they get into the conference schedule. Lastly, it gives you 7 home games every year which is a huge boost in revenue. Until we get a playoff, then this is what you need to do to make money and win championships. Look no farther than the UF program if you need any proof.

You can crow all you want about how great the SEC is – but if we play the type of schedule that Florida is playing this year or Alabama is playing (which we laugh at) – then who are we to say “we are the best”?

What we should be discussing is why we continue to settle for a coach who says every year “We want to be competitive in the SEC” instead of “I want to kiss the crystal football”. We also need someone who will treat our athletes like the children they are so we do not have another year with 10 arrested players.

And on the AJ suspension…We are the reason the NCAA has the rule about selling your jersey or anything else you wear or receive. Of all the athletes in NCAA schools across the country, OURS should be more aware of this rule than all others since it was OUR players who sold their bowl rings and got the rule inacted in the first place. He was a fool and hopefully he’s learned from his stupidity.

I saw McGarity roaming around LaGrange last week. Figured he was dropping by Troup High School to check on Quan Bray for Coach Richt. Then I saw him taking what looked to be ink pens, and legal papers into the office of LaGrange College’s athletic director. Could a match up between the ‘Dawgs and the mighty Panthers be in he offing?

For those that like to say that it was “proven” that UGA had the toughest schedule last year – below are the Top 20 of the toughest schedules according to certified NCAAF data. UGA was 12th while GT was 14th toughest. You all may be surprised that Oregon was Number 1 as the TOUGHEST schedule in Div I football last year.

I say, lets drop the stupid Georgia Tech game every year and that way we can get a real team on the schedule. I am tired of playing the stupid bees every year!!!!

The dawgs have to schedule someone they can beat. That “SEC” speed was amazing against Colorado!

Field goal kicker missed gimmee earlier. Bulldogs lost by how many? Hmmm. Mark Wretch and Mike Dodo. Poor man’s Abbott and Costello. Fans cry. They laugh all way to bank. Truly sad and unjust. STENDEK

Does Bobby Cremins coach basketball too? If he does, maybe he could coach this team too.

Georgia will never be in the big time national stage with two to three cream puffs on it schedule each year. Drop Oregon home and home and use the excuse it is to far to travel, one of those two year. Talk about a lame excuse. Georgia if you want to be taken seriously as a nation power then you need to play some teams in Division 1A instead of these cream puffs. Your win /loss record may look better, however, it does not mean much when you play teams like Charleston and Georgia Southern. The way Georgia has been playing I am not sure if these two cream puffs aren’t to much.. The second most profitable program in the NCAA. How much longer do you think that will last playing Georgia Southern and Charleston. Not to mention in recruiting players who do you think is going to get the top recruits. A Georgia who seems to be going no where or Alabama whose program has in three short years won a national championship and likely could repeat this year. Georgia needs to wake up and get serious about competing in the top level of football. You will never make it with scheduling two to three cream puffs a year. .

How much does GA plan to pay the season ticket holders for putting these teams on the GA schedule?

It looks like Georgia Southern found a cream puff in UGA,

1-4 isn’t ANYTHING TO BRAG ABOUT WHEN YOU HAVE NOT BASICALLY PLAYED ANYBODY YET AND WIN 1 OUT OF 5.

Glory Glory,
How many teeth does it take to go 1-4?
Your mongrels are pretty lousy, maybe you should crawl back under the porch and stop growling until you have done something to growl about. Tech will slaughter you much worse that Darth Visor already did.
Old Darth Visor owns Athens now.
