In all seriousness, why not?
I personally would like to see this newfangled offense take on a stiff challenge. I wasn’t very interested in Vanderbilt. But if the players are up for a game against virtually any top 25 team, so am I. (Chanticleers, come on down!)

Coastal is in the Fun Belt championship game this weekend.

That’s true…but they’d get a lot more upside out of bailing on that one and coming to Athens. The only question would be how high a price they’d pay with their fellow Sun Belters.

That’s funny… I had a friend who’s a Memphis fan text me and say “F___ it. We should bail on FAU (12/23, Montgomery Bowl…a brand new bowl FWIW) and go to Athens on 12/19. I mean, the goal every year is to play a big Power5 program in a New Years 6. This seems like the next best thing.”

You really think they would bail on their own conference championship game (they then forfeit the game and Championship) to play us ?
No way.

Could you imagine springing to go to a Bowl Game… let’s say Fiesta Bowl, where you spend money to go out west and then on Tuesday, you find out the other team won’t show because of COVID numbers? Talk about a punch in the gut/wallet.

Indeed, but you still are in Arizona in January. Hopefully you did it right and are staying at a nice resort in Paradise Valley, lounge by the pool a few days, spend the ticket money on food and cocktails, take it easy a few days enjoying the warm sunshine…

I’d love to destroy Georgia Tech just for the fun of it. Third string in to start the second half. Georgia already up 52-3. It would be great. Even better though, let’s play Florida again.

Can we come up with our own names and branding? That could be fun.

Isn’t this adorable? You’d have to be able to find someone who wanted to play, too, you know? Judging by how it’s going for Georgia to find a game this weekend, I’d say it’d be just about impossible to pull this off unless it’s two scrub teams or something.
