Next year’s complete conference breakdown is here. Georgia’s 2013 conference slate looks like this:
Sept. 7: SOUTH CAROLINA
Sept. 28: LSU
Oct. 5: at Tennessee
Oct. 12: MISSOURI
Oct. 19: at Vanderbilt
Nov. 2: vs. Florida (Jacksonville)
Nov. 16: at Auburn
Nov. 23: KENTUCKY
So, that’s two straight years of Auburn on the road. And a tough September.
Interestingly, nobody in the East gets Alabama and LSU.
South Carolina gets Arkansas and Mississippi State, so that should settle things down somewhat in Columbia.
Get The Picture 
I don’t think it’s fair that we have to play LSU when SC gets Mississippi State.

So that week before USC we have Clemson? Is that right? and then Tech to end the season. Tough to cram the cupcakes in that schedule and still get an off week where it might be helpful.

No back-to-back true road games.
The Cocks are at Ark, at Tenn, and at Mizzou on consecutive Saturdays and are the only schedule with three consecutive in-conference road games. Will that be Spurrier’s gripe this year?

That should say that South Carolina is the only team with conference road games on three consecutive Saturdays, as Auburn and Ole Miss have three in a row in conference but have at least one Saturday in between for bye or OOC.

Mike has always been a pretty balanced poster here with reasonable comments. I enjoy having rivals who can add a different perspective, it’s the flamers I have an issue with. I don’t always agree with Mike but he is civil and does add to the conversation here, imo.
With all honesty, I think the Mayor leaves himself open for jabs about the neutrality of Jacksonville, it is as silly as Spurrier crying about a rule last year that has been in effect for 20 years in the SEC. Whining about something after the fact is pretty dumb so SOS opens himself up for legit criticsm. Just as we cannot complain about JAX when the trend went away from us. When we get beat by Florida, it has zero to do with the location. Our job to turn it around, invalid excuses will not get anything straightened out and makes us look like babies. Someone may want the location changed/shared but that game is neutral by any definition. Ask Texas how that home soil is working for them in Dallas against Oklahoma.

You don’t have to have special powers to see how wrong you are. I get it, you don’t like the game in JAX, that is an opinion and who cares if we disagree. My point was simple, the game is neutral, by any definition you wish to give it and location isn’t a factor unless there is some weather abnormality. To whine about that is silly and is why anyone would identify it as such.
UGA has had success in JAX for decades, you cannot start sniffling when we lose some without someone thinking that is pretty pitiful. I don’t know if you need hot air, or cold air, but you must need some oxygen to your brain because UGA is not disadvantaged in any way by the location, in fact, we actually get a litle more money if I recall the figures. If we lose, it is because we either didn’t play well enough, or didn’t have adequate talent. Florida used to whine about the same thing and Spurrier basically told them to grow a pair.
LikeLike
The only thing right in you post above is “we actually get a little more money” by playing that game in JAX. That’s why we do it–for the money. Just like Arkansas State does when they come to Athens to take their licking–for the money. Don’t pretend that the WLOCP is on a neutral field. Its an away game UGA plays every year “for the money.”

No more discussion with you on this, you are either totally brain dead, do not understand the definition of “neutral”, or just unwilling to say I was wrong and apologize for my wimpy, whiney position. Regardless, go argue with a stump….you both have something in common, I won’t waste any more time on this with anyone who cannot get this by now. I offered you an out, you just don’t like it and that is fine. But you keep embarrassing yourself by confusing “neutrality” as debateable just because you cannot get your way. Grow up. In the meantime, it wwon’t just be Florida fans who are out thinking you on this, Big East fans will laugh at you.

How about the huge frontload of the SEC east schedule? Assuming the champion from the east is one of Florida, Cackalacky, or us–then the east will, for all practical purposes, be sewn up on November 16. Then there’d be a real possibility of the east champ losing out of conference with FSU, Clemson, and Tech remaining.

I just got finished watching the first half of the Arizona State-Oregon game. 43-7 Oregon. BTW, Arizona State is 5-1 this season and a pretty good football team. If the Ducks coach wanted to do it they could score 100 in this game. There is not a single team in the SEC that can play with the Ducks (I’m looking at you, Bama.) The smartest thing that McGarity did as AD was to cancel UGA’s home and away series with Oregon. Thank you, McGarity, thank you.

If Saban has a few week to scheme for Oregon, there is no doubt in my mind that he can find an answer to their attack. Spurrier once famously said “For every offense, there is a good defense to stop it and vise versa.”
I would put money on a good defensive coordinator with talent against the Ducks. As long as he had plenty of time to prepare.
