Visit by LSU, return to Auburn highlight Georgia’s ‘13 schedule (updated)

By TIM TUCKER

Georgia’s 2013 football schedule restores South Carolina to a familiar early-season spot, includes a visit to Athens by LSU and — in an odd quirk — calls for the Bulldogs to travel to Auburn for a second consecutive season.

The SEC finally unveiled next season’s league schedule Thursday after spending many months sorting through the complexities of expansion to 14 teams. The league emphasized that next season’s schedule, like this season’s, is a transitional “bridge” and not a model for an ongoing rotation.

For Georgia fans, the 2013 schedule might be disconcerting: It is UGA’s first since 1957 without a home game against either Auburn or Georgia Tech, the Bulldogs’ two oldest rivals.

For more than a half-century, Georgia has hosted Auburn in odd-numbered years and Tech in even-numbered years. But the SEC said it shifted next season’s Georgia-Auburn game to Auburn “in order to maintain a balanced schedule for the 2014 season and beyond.” Two other games, Ole Miss at Alabama and Texas A&M at Ole Miss, also will be played at the same site this season and next.

“Repeat-venue games, while not desired, provided the only solution to the complex scheduling issues,” SEC commissioner Mike Slive said in a statement.

The other thing that jumps out about Georgia’s 2013 schedule: It is tougher than this season’s and last season’s, both of which avoided the top SEC West teams.

After opening next season with a previously announced non-conference game at Clemson on Aug. 31, Georgia will start SEC play Sept. 7 in Athens against South Carolina. On Sept. 28, Georgia will host SEC West power LSU. Clemson, South Carolina and LSU are currently ranked among the nation’s top 14 teams.

Next season’s Georgia-South Carolina game will mark the 21st time in 22 years that the teams meet in their SEC openers. The exception was this season’s October meeting.

The Georgia-LSU game will be a homecoming for Zach Mettenberger, currently LSU’s starting quarterback and a former Georgia player. He grew up near Athens.

After the early-season gauntlet, Georgia’s remaining SEC games next season are Oct. 5 at Tennessee, Oct. 12 at home against Missouri, Oct. 19 at Vanderbilt, Nov. 2 against Florida in Jacksonville, Nov. 16 at Auburn and Nov. 23 at home against Kentucky.

In addition to the opener at Clemson, the previously announced non-conference schedule includes home games against North Texas (Sept. 21) and Appalachian State (Nov. 9) and the road game at Tech (Nov. 30).

Next season’s schedule is spread over 14 weeks. Georgia will have a bye week following the South Carolina game and another before the Florida game.

“The 2013 schedule will obviously be very challenging,” UGA athletic director Greg McGarity said in a statement. “Our No. 1 priority throughout this process was to protect our long-standing rivalry game against Auburn, and in order to keep this series intact, it necessitated a return to Auburn in 2013. We will start working on the 2014 rotating SEC schedule this spring, and we can confirm that Auburn will be returning to Athens in 2014.”

Beyond that assurance, the SEC described the ’13 schedule as “not based on any previous or future scheduling formats.”

Well, no one can say we have a weak schedule next year. It is loaded. If we do well, then the coaching staff will definitely be around for a while. If not, look for big changes after 2013. I don’t think they will do many changes now because they want all the new coaches gelling for this schedule.

2013 = critical year for changes.

Dawg Mike, the chances of us not handing down suspensions prior to the beginning of the season are slim to none. Adams and Richt are so righteous they will look for reasons to punish someone at the worst possible time. They may drug test on January 1st, and after spring break

Not all the time, but it used to be we played Auburn over there better. Now we got S.C. at the first of the season again, when (as Spurrier pointed out) everybody except the third string punter will be frickin’ suspended! Oh wait……..they tore us up this year anyway………..o-line o-line o-line anybody? Then, it will not matter who or where OR when we play! Gotta get some hosses, though..

As much as I like Richt, that schedule will seal his fate. There is an easy 5 losses there with the way his teams handle big games. That will be the normal record going forward without changes. No way he survives it.

CMRs team almost always start slowly. Next season that will mean a 1-3 record going into Tennessee
game. This will happen with 8-10 starters on defense gone to graduation or NFL, let alone the offensive losses. Really good talent behind these guys, but its young. Really going to be a struggle
in’13!

If the season truly starts August 31 and ends November 30th, that will provide 14 weeks in the season, allowing for TWO bye weeks. I would think that would be nice for the teams to schedule those by weeks near the more brutal stretches.

Discuss …

Visiting Tech and Auburn in the same year is one thing. Auburn, if these schedules start following normal patterns, will have to finish every other season going to Georgia and Alabama.

There is no excuse for not being ready for those opening games. Circle them on the calendar now and be prepared to have our boys thinking about them starting the very day after whatever bowl game we win (see, I can still be an optimist) Behavior issues, academic issues, mental preparation issues, penalty issues all need to be under control well before kickoff next August 31.

Wow. Lucky them. Avoiding Alabama…again. Well, no worries. They’ll lose the east to South Carolina, or, inevitably, get embarrassed at the SEC championship game when they go up against Alabama. Oh..,and LSU is gonna deliver a very swift spanking, so just be prepared to bend on over and take it without whining…

Well, I guess that “the move to the middle of the season will solve the losing to SC ” didn’t work out so well, so I guess Vince told the SEC office to move it back to the opening of the season before SC gets rolling.

Well not to worry because by the time the Disney Dawgs get rolling next summer, “playing at the first of the season” will be a HUGE advantage to the preseason MNC once again.

A better solution to prevent these teams mentioned from playing consecutive years against the same opponent at the same site can probably be resolved by trying this scenario.

* Georgia vs Auburn in Atlanta (Georgia Dome).
* Ole Miss vs Alabama in Jackson (Memorial Coliseum) or in Memphis (Liberty Bowl).
* Texas A&M vs Mississippi in Shreveport,LA (Independence Bowl).

do I have this figured right? Using the 6-1-1 format, UGA will play west teams (except Auburn) in Athens once every 12 years? So, LSU is here in 2013, Georgia goes to Baton Rouge in 2014, and you don’t see them again until 2025? Right?

clockstoppa: Not sure where you’re coming from on this. UGA played relatively weak schedules this season and last. But they don’t traditionally play weak schedules. In 2010 played MissSt, Ark and Nat’l champion Auburn in West and Colorado in non-con on road. In 2009 played LSU, Ark and Auburn from West along with non-con Ariz State at home and Okla State on road. In ‘08 they played both Bama and LSU from the West along with Auburn and Ariz State on road. Of course they’ve got to Tech every year. It goes on back from there. So this junk about UGA always playing a weak schedule doesn’t really hold water.

I do think switching the Auburn game is interesting because Tech has shown an interest in swapping the UGA game from the current schedule. Of course, now the ACC will be reshuffling with Pitt and Syracuse so it may not work but this seems like it could work out well for Tech and UGA.

That 2013 schedule is a pretty tough opening act. October and November get a little better by comparison but overall that is a tough slate.

UGA’s schedule for home and away games is awful. What the hell do those idiots over in Athens do when it comes to getting home and away games scheduled with the clowns over in Bham at the SEC office? Do you people know we will have had only one game combined at home during Oct this year and next? Why can’t they get us away from playing TN and Vandy home and home to a home and away schedule. The FL game in Jax really really hurts us in playing a balanced home and away schedule but that what the Georgia folks won’t so this is why we get a really unbalanced away and home

Hiring Greg McGarity was a huge mistake. He is from the same old guard that thinks;

1. Playing Florida away is a good idea
2. Opening with Clemson is a good idea.
3. The fantasy that Georgia will not have 2-4 players suspended for the Clemson and USC games won’t happen.

What’s the use to get excited by football when this guy is undermining any possibility of winning a championship.

Georgia’s future is doomed as long as we proceed with nos. 1 and 2.

Not strictly home and home against the Gators, but one vote for mixing in home games with the Cocktail Party. So UGA players can play in the Swamp and Florida players can play between the hedges.

First off, there is no difference between Tommy Tuberville and Mark Richt. Both are 8-10 win coaches, but both underachieve with talent. Tuberville’s last couple of years on the Plains weren’t anything to write home about.

The schedule is what it is. Also, its hard to say which teams will really perform and which won’t. I think Richt will win against a few of these ” big programs” and then lose to others. I could see us beating a Florida but losing to a Tennessee. I say this team will be 8-4, which will basically illustrate what we are as a program. Good but not good enough.

I want to hear Steve Spurrier complain to everybody that UGAs schedule is unfair, lol. I really don’t care what he thinks. Maybe playing better competition will make us compete for a change.

do I have this figured right? Using the 6-1-1 format, UGA will play west teams (except Auburn) in Athens once every 12 years? So, LSU is here in 2013, Georgia goes to Baton Rouge in 2014, and you don’t see them again until 2025? Right?

UGA’s schedule for home and away games is awful. What the hell do those idiots over in Athens do when it comes to getting home and away games scheduled with the clowns over in Bham at the SEC office? Do you people know we will have had only one game combined at home during Oct this year and next? Why can’t they get us away from playing TN and Vandy home and home to a home and away schedule. The FL game in Jax really really hurts us in playing a balanced home and away schedule but that what the Georgia folks won’t so this is why we get a really unbalanced away and home

Sometimes it backfires and little guys like Louisiana-Monroe get the loot AND a win. Of course L-M doesn’t get invited back because evidently they didn’t know they were supposed to lose.(Another example of L-M pi$$ing God off by beating Saban’s team IN TUSKILOSER)

Saw somethimg about your mother was sick in the hospital. saw you were hurting. i found out my white male english bulldog named munson has cancer w/ only weeks to live. He looks just like the last couple of UGA’s. i know that doesnt compare to a human, but i thought i would send u a note about different types of sufferings we go through. football for me right now takes a backseat just because of a dog. cant imagine a mother involved. just when we feel sorry for ourselves, we see somebody else has it worse than us. Just let the dawgs do what they will this yr. and support them, NO MATTER WHAT, win or lose. focus on the end of the yr and what the holidays truly mean, happiness, love, health, family and a great country.

Only question after reading this article is whether Mark Richt will be gone when the 2013 season kicks off or will this schedule be his undoing. Either way, he will not be coaching the Georgia Bulldogs in 2014. Expect UGA to finish at best 8-4 in 2013 although 7-5 is more likely. I am basing this on his refusal to bring in the assistants necessary to win the tough games. He needs help and simply cannot recognize it.

Rather play Auburn twice in Auburn than SC twice in Columbia. Cocks are not nearly as good on the road as at home, especially at night. LSU at home is nice too.

Clemson and SC first 2 games….who comes up with this stuff? Start on the ROAD this year with Mizzou, last year against top 5 team in the nation…..

You keep scheduling very tough opponents first game and you are gonna lose as many as you win….heck Vandy almost beat SC first game this year…players need a tuneup man before you go on the road then have a tough game the following week! ALSO SC can prepare SOLELY on UGA while UGA has to prepare for Clemson….sucks.

Overall the schedule isnt too bad considering LSU and SC are at home.

The Clemson game is the tough one being on the ROAD first game…..did i say SUCKS?

Bye before FL is sweet….playing Clemson and SC back-to-back to start the season…..SUCKS! Is this still Evans’ leftovers? It helps strength of schedule but it also increases chances of losing…..especially when you play tough games right off the bat.

Hopefully kingdaddy can convince the other fellow coach MediocRe “dandies” like Dumb Dum IN Lex, MR goon stat boy “sammie”, Just not Sayin’ anything, and NonBrainiac to get off the pink pussy punch and distance themselves from Richt before the upcoming UF tragedy this blog will be a better place.

Because I promise you this blog is gonna explode like WW III for the MR sympathizers and apologist bastards if UGA gets routed in Jacksonville by UF !! A word to the wise is sufficient ! LOL ! Go Dogs, Not Richt !!

As much as I like Richt, that schedule will seal his fate. There is an easy 5 losses there with the way his teams handle big games. That will be the normal record going forward without changes. No way he survives it.

Thoughts & prayers go out to all of you suffering losses in your lives i.e. parents, pets, etc. It puts it all in perspective. Win or lose on any Saturday, the sun comes up on Sunday and life goes on as usual.

That said, we all love our Dawgs. As a 1980 grad and Redcoat, what has happened in Athens over the past 5 years hurts. Mark Richt, by all acocunts, is an outstanding man. But NOT an outstanding head coach! The time is way past to send him off with his pink slip. Poor play calling, blind loyalty to friends on staff, poor clock management, lack of respect from players (face it, they don’t fear him, or discipline wouldn’t be so bad), the list goes on. Why in the world he was given another 5-year contract extension, I have no idea.

Mediocrity is the name of the game at UGA, and will continue to be the case. Sad to say, but it is. Nothing will change with Mark Richt there. I am not a “Richt Hater”, but do expect excellence for the obscene amount of $$$ we are paying him and his joke of a coaching staff. Let them all go NOW!

So based on the last five years of losing to ranked teams, Richt and Bobo will either be unprepared for the early games or go so conservative at the wrong times and lose to Clemson, SC, LSU and Florida and any other ranked team. Thank God for teams ranked 23 through 25 and unranked teams who we can beat. CMR mat want to remember Appalachian State beat Michigan. No wait, he will be so worried about what color shirts the fans are wearing to care whether his underachieving allstars will actually win. At least Ray Goff actually cared whether we won or not.

Jeez all the belly-aching has to end folks! Does nothing please you people? The Dawgs do not control their SEC schedule. The league is trying to balance the schedule so teams can keep traditional rivals. App St took out Michigan a few years back so NO ONE can claim a the Dawgs have a soft schedule next year. Once the playoff format and the selection criteria are setup, then you can expect 1 cupcake a year probably. Stop the griping and be fans not persistent critics.

Please find a single D-1 team that doesn’t schedule atleast 2 “cupcake” games in a season.

What is the very best month of the year to play college football in Athens, GA? October!!! How many games did we play in Athens THIS year during October? ZERO!!! How many next year? 1 The scheduling sucks for the fans. We play half the home games when it is weltering and then take a month off. It sucks.

RedandBlackDAWG

I really don’t see how a lot of these fortune tellers on this blog can predict what this team will do next year, since we don’t even know exactly who will be on the team all of the way yet. We don’t even know what the make up of the opponent will be for that fact.
We should have a much more experienced OL, two potential All Americans at running back, and a very strong receiving corp. Not sure who will be the QB as of now.
Defensive wise, we will have to replace a few superstars but overall, there is a lot of potential in the back ups that are training this year, so who knows.
The schedule is pretty tough as compared to this year, but I think UGA has a lot of good athletes that will rise up to the challenge. I would think that the first four games, will tell us how the season will shake out, but until then, nobody can look into their crystal ball, and predict their future.

Everybody calling for CMR’s head… chill. We will know the answer in @ week. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… we lose to Florida and CMR is gone. If UF beats SC tomorrow and the Dawgs win in Jacksonville… then the SEC title is still a possibility. Of course winning in Jacksonville doesn’t guarantee CMR stays. If we win and the team continues to under perform, especially on defense, then he may be a goner anyway. McGarity has always said that each season would be assessed individually at the end of the year. Given the expectations going into the year, anything less than a trip to the Georgia Dome will be the end of the line for CMR. And even a poor showing there and/or in the bowl will be hard to overcome. All in all if the Dawgs don’t make it to the SEC championship and have a competitive game there, then CMR is gone.
So relax… if you want coach gone then there is a pretty good chance it will happen.

Alabama is getting a making call for allowing 8 teams in 2 years get byes before playing them. I agree that playing UK is weak but UT will be better. Also lets talk about door mats in the East UK, Vandy and Mizzo which are not in the West (unless the au thing continues…hehehe). Honestly Alabama would love to play UGA, UF as well as SC but they dont want any part of that. Any way they will meet up with at least one in the SEC championship game.

I agree Georgia will probably not be prepared to play that many big games early on. Player suspensions (who’s next?), which have become so commonplace the last 5 or so years will more than likely continue. While I am really not in favor of a coaching change (due to the fact I have no idea whom they would go after to succeed Richt), if results do not surface on the field THIS season, and VERY SOON there may not be a choice but to axe Richt.

Well, at least the schedule is a bit more challenging than this years’ patsy run. Now, if we ever want to compete in the 4-team playoff in 2014 and beyond, we’d better get rid of App State and North Texas-like teams and add some decent teams from the other conferences. The tougher the better. Strength-of-schedule will be a factor in who goes to the playoffs for the NC.

Since You WUSSIES seem to think that playing in the SEC is easy, name me one team in the SEC that doesn’t have at least one very noticeable player, and one that doesn’t have at least three players in the NFL. Spurrier better enjoy now, because he knows this year and next the quality of recruits slides down hill.

Funny how this blog talks about next year with half of this season still remains.
What’s even funnier is the people all worried about the schedule next year, Coach Richt being around, all the “overpaid” assistance, only 2 soft games… Oh my what is the world coming to!!!

If the Rapture comes before next season you’re going to say to yourself, “Why did I waste my time worry about that stuff when I should have been right with the Lord.”
