Quote Of The Day
-
“And Georgia fans, don’t be turds. Enjoy this. Soak it up. It’s awesome. If you don’t win this year, it’s still not a failure. It’s a heck of a run. Back-to-back in the Playoff era hasn’t been done. So, to ask for a third I feel like it’s gluttonous. I feel like it’s not OK. But we’ll be in the mix.”-- David Pollack, On3.com, 5/9/23

I saw Pollack’s strip/interception/TD from there.
Well, I was standing there when it happened. You can’t see the back half of that endzone from those stands, so I saw Pollack begin to hit Corey Jenkins. Then, after a few seconds of wondering if it was a safety or incomplete pass, I saw one of the line judges signal touchdown.

FWIW, cheapest seat on Vivid seats for the Georgia game is in the aforementioned Upper West for …. drumroll please … $115 (plus fees of course!). Looks like there are plenty of seats available up there online, so selling out season tickets obviously appears to be a problem for the Cocks…

90 bucks and you get 7 games, 14 tickets, 14 “all you can eat passes” and 7 parking spots?

Concur. The labeling has me a bit perplexed in terms of what you get for $90.
Is it Georgia State or Charlotte or SC State?
Still a good idea and not a bad deal if it is. I’d consider taking that deal for one of our non-conf home games for sure.

When are they going to do the obvious tie-in with Colonel Sanders? A bucket of chicken legs, chicken wings, and chicken tickets. They could even paint the outside of the stadium with garnet and white vertical stripes and re-brand it as “The Bucket”.

Since it sounds like this is for the non-marquee games on the Poultry’s schedule, this is actually not a terrible idea. Given the fact it looks like these are season ticket spots, folks in Columbia can’t be happy about this. If UGA had significant visitor returns and couldn’t fully sell those out with existing season ticket holders, it wouldn’t be a bad way to offer a 3-4 game package to the general public. 2 tickets for Samford, Kent State and Vanderbilt for the price of the Vandy ticket ($75). People impulse buy at Costco … that would definitely be a way to get some tickets sold that may otherwise go unused.

Interesting. I’ve worked putting gift cards in Costco and Sam’s with my company and they usually require 30% discount off the top. They give the customer a 20% discount and keep 10% for themselves. Costco also buys all the cards upfront so you get the money – even if they don’t sell out in the stores, you still get the payment.
