    There are very few easy wins in the SEC.  5-3 or even 4-4 would not be shocking.

    Miss LSU, Bama and Tenn which are three of the top 4 SEC programs right now. 
     

    Should have a better roster than Ark and OU. UF will not be very good. A&M could be tough and have a pretty solid roster. But Jimbo …

    Looks like TexasSports took down the tweet with the dates for the OOC games, but they had UTSA, ULM, CSU, and Michigan on there with dates. 

     

     

    Georgia welcomes South Carolina and Mezzo into the league as their first SEC game and both were at their places. Also played at Ark in their first year, though it was not their league opener. 

    Wonder if UGA will be Texas' first SEC game? I hope not, as Austin in Sept would be an oven unless the game kicks off at night.

    I was wondering what the "10 to 9" comment on another thread meant, lol. UGA has always been a nasty fan base. 

    You wouldn't believe what they said about Bryant when he died. 

    Yeah, real nasty to say “10 to 9”. Meanwhile, bama fans killing people over games. Worst fans in CFB

    OU is always the game. Think about how different we’d all feel about going 8-4 in 2022 if Texas had closed out Tech or OSU but lost to OU.

    Beyond that, probably at Michigan or at LSU should the latter come to pass. Both are novel with the former being a once in a generation type road trip and the latter being a visit owed.

    A&M will be fun too, I know not everyone wants to say it.

    Georgia is cool but there’s nothing special about playing Georgia specifically, it just so happens that they’ll probably be really good.

    Agree on Mich and LSU being epic road trips.

    Colorado St. since it's game 1

     

    But I guess out of the ones you listed it's a toss up between the Big House and Between the Hedges.

    2 great road game opportunities.

    True, but we travel to Austin to play yall.

    Do you have the complete schedule?

    There are comments on the Chiefs-Bengals thread about the officiating. There are also comments on the Conference realignment and left behind threads. 

    I'll throw my thoughts out. I don't think it's rigged to the point that professional wrestling is rigged, but yes, leagues guide the narrative. I've seen numerous references to the NFL being legally an "entertainment" league, and being in the same category as wrestling. If this is true, fixing games isn't illegal, as wrestling matches are usually fixed. I haven't found a definitive source on this, simply references to the law passed in 1961 after the NFL lost a Supreme Court anti-trust case in 1957. I haven't found, except on message boards, the claim that the NFL is entertainment, not sports.

    The Sports-Media complex has no interest in exposing the darker side of sports. They functionally own the leagues. They protect some players, crucify others, dittos for teams. 

    NBA, definitely. It's a star driven league, and finals ratings are greatly influenced by which teams are playing for the title. My "AHA!" moment in the NBA was watching a Lakers game in the 80s. Magic Johnson had five fouls, two minutes left. He hacked an opposing player. The ref blew the whistle and started to point at Johnson, realized who it was, and swerved to put the foul on another Lakers player who was about eight feet away. There were no traveling calls on Jordan, ever. He could start at half court and drive all the way to the basket without dribbling. 

    NFL, yeah. Tuck rule game, Saints being allowed to murder Vikings QB Brett Favre in the title game when the league wanted the Saints to win the Super Bowl after Katrina, Steelers never having a call go against them in the 1970s, Earl Morrall throwing three interceptions in the first half of Colts-Jets, when the NFL desperately needed an AFL win for the merger to go through. 

    College, yeah, but there are so many entities that it's not a unified narrative like the NBA and NFL. Conferences will put their thumb on the scale for a team that has a chance for the playoffs, cause the conference gets a share of the playoff money. Right now, Texas and Oklahoma won't get a break because the B12 doesn't want them winning the conference on the way out the door. 

    Anyway, your thoughts? True fixing, or just losing team sour grapes? We know there are SOME sour grapes, but is there a basis for some of those claims? Remember Tim Donaghy.

    NFL wanted Hurts v Mahomes. I'll leave it at that.

    Certainly, Georgia should be congratulated for a great 2022 season. In fact, with regard to Georgia, I have a special place in my heart ... or, a place about 15 inches lower because of a young lady, a Georgia coed at the time, with whom I enjoyed certain lascivious delights decades ago. [Imagine, pubic hair trimmed into a heart shape and dyed pink for Valentine's Day]. Ah, but I digress.

    Non-conference games is a topic that you should probably steer clear of since Georgia's murderous non-con 2023 schedule consists of the following:

    University of Tennessee Martin (are they called the Deans by any chance);

    Ball State (they should be called the fighting testicles);

    UAB (The Fighting Targaryens?), and;

    Georgia Tech (who has one of the best fight songs).

    Now yes, in 2024, Georgia does have Clempson, 2025 at UCLA.

    Hopefully, with the addition of Texas and BlowU to the SEC, the powderpuff opponent in November will be replaced with a conference game.

    I like that you spelled Clempson properly. We've played ND, Clemp, Oregon, and will play UCLA, FSU, Ohio St, and Clemp again in the following years as well as having scheduled OU and UT which will likely be canceled due to the "murders and accusations". 

    Trust me, everyone in our program wishes we still had OU on the schedule this coming year but the SEC stepped in and now I have to deal with this crazy LSU fan going ballistic on me on a Texas board. 

    Conspiracy theories abound.

    motherfucker you play that game in Atlanta…a fucking HOME game for you leghumpers… and a shit schedule in the East.  don’t give me that handicapped shit. fucker, i went to law school in Georgia, i know exactly what’s up.  

    you play shit teams and have a shit schedule.  it’s why we routinely school your weak ass. 
     

    enjoy while you can…we’re tailgrabbing your ass.   

    East was better than the West this year and we beat LSU easily. Whining about a 15-0 SEC team is one of the most ridiculous things I've seen on a msg board. When was the last time you played two top ten nonconf games in back-to-back seasons? 

     

    You're supposed to have my back on a non-SEC board and we have a lot of mutual rivals, so quit your whining and fvck off.

    Your FSU game is in Orlando. Probably at camping world stadium. Not a true road test. Probably a LSU home game if I were a betting man.



    And also LSU plays in Vegas??? My dear lord. Get the national guard on standby

    Again, clueless on everything. FSU will be the de facto home team in Orlando. Have you ever looked at a map? Yikes

    fuck off with that shit.  we consistently play a much better non-con than most anyone in the conference.  next year we play at FSU, 2024 we have USC (in Vegas) and UCLA both on the sched.  and yes, we travel for our non-cons (the past few years have seen us play away from home vs Texas, UCLA, Wisconsin, and Miami.  
     

    your OOC sucks balls…consistently.  your team, however, does not.  

    We played two power 5 nonconference games during the seasons we won NCs. Two of those games were at neutral sites against highly ranked teams. As I stated in the post you responded to, UGA has scheduled much tougher series going forward than the ones you listed for LSU. 

     

    And we had OU scheduled for 2023 but the SEC forced us to cancel. 

    Also, LSU is not handicapped by a power 5 instate rivalry we play every year and a neutral site SEC game. These combine to take one home game away from us every year and make it more difficult to schedule tough nonconf games, although as I have stated repeatedly, we schedule regardless .

    So fuck off with your BS one-offs vs UCLA and FSU. Those were weak-ass games when you schedule them and you still managed to embarrass the league and lose them. Pathetic!

    Playing highly ranked teams in nfl stadiums in close proximity to Athens impresses nobody. 

    Actually it does? Our schedule was ranked higher than any Big XII teams' schedule this year, btw. It makes zero sense to discount nonconformist games against ranked teams because they are at neutral sites. BTW, Charlotte is a home game for Clempson if Atlanta is for UGA. If you followed CFB, you would realize UGA has had more crushing losses in Atlanta than anywhere else since 2017. 

     

    No offense, but you are completely clueless on this.

    Maybe the low numbers were because they didn't start their viewership count after the game had gotten out of hand--you know, like midway through the first quarter.

    B1G fans will celebrate. All they have is their TV ratings. 

    I am always amazed at how many people watch Ohio St, Mich and Penn St. But UGA-Oklahome in the 2018 Rose outdrew UGA-Ohio St this year and are the two most viewed semifinals since 2014 I believe.

    And he only got the one playoff team right because that’s where he played ball.  It’s damn near impossible to not get at least 2/4 every year without even trying.

    I don't think anyone had TCU, but nearly everyone of note had two of UGA/Mich/Ohio ST. 

    And the three he missed weren't even close. It wasn't like he had USC or Tenn.

    We had OU in Norman scheduled, but the SEC asked us to cancel it due to the impending expansion. So we had to replace them with another program that had an opening on that date and Ball State was apparently available. 
     
    It does suck. We played Clempson in Charlotte last year and Oregon in Atlanta this year. This is in addition to the GT rivalry and the UF game in Jax every year. 

    This is kind of the point. No true road games. They aren't going into Clemson or going up to Oregon. Florida is in a neutral site but I'll give them that because it's always been like that at least as long as I can remember. Bama does the same stuff.

    OU was scheduled as a road game. We play Tech in a true road game every other year. It is an in-state rivalry and a tradition for both schools. The Clemson and Oregon games were against highly ranked opponents away from home. You can't just ignore those. 

    We played at ND in 2017 and have road games at Texas, Ohio St, FSU, UCLA, Clemson and others on the schedule in the future.  https://ugawire.usatoday.com/lists/georgia-football-schedule-with-future-nonconference-opponents/

    The programs you should be questioning are Alabama, which has played one nonconf road game in the past 12 years, Aub, Tenn and LSU, which have 4 nonconf openings every year and no neutral site SEC games like UGA and UF do. They should be playing two P5 nonconf teams and a nonconf H&H every year.

    How is the possible or allowed.  Sec sets themselves up so much, I can’t wait for out of conference games vs a&m kingsville when they tell us to schedule like this….  🙄

    Had great seats for the 2019 Sugar Bowl, right in the Georgia section. They were insufferable douche waffles for about 20 minutes until they realized the Longhorns came to hit them right in the face. Then they were sufferable douche waffles for the rest of the game.

    Go fuck yourselves, Georgia. 

    Go Frogs.

    Surly indeed! 😁

    The geographic or cultural similarities are they have the LA market and BIG wants that market. 

    Just counterproductive and disingenuous that they would leave the P-12 for the B!G. That's sad. They are literally the heart of the P-12 and are leaving everyone else high and dry for a league that wins national titles in the major sports as often as there is snow in LA. At least the Texas/OU move makes sense geographically and culturally.

    i think we are going to find that georgia and florida are the schools "most like us"

    athens is/was very much like austin in the 60s-90s

    gainesville not so much, but after vandy, florida has the best academics, and georgia not far behind

    lots of grads from both that have acumen and game in their chosen industries

    if this was lord satan, or a chip kelly year 1 story, i might reconsider

    might

    no roach at all
