With this news…
The biggest event in college football is on the way back to Atlanta.
Previously played here in January 2018, the College Football Playoff national championship game will return to Mercedes-Benz Stadium in January 2025, several people familiar with the matter told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Atlanta will become the first city to host the CFP title game twice.
… comes the obvious question: will Kirby Smart object to not being able to host recruits at the game?
Get The Picture 
Well played, Senator.

He should, and he should keep complaining until the supposed leaders finally take responsibility to develop a fair and equitable system…which will never happen.

Y’all are incredible. The game in Jax is dying before your eyes. No amount of snark is going to change it. What the Kang wants, the Kang gets.
I’ll bet the first time the Gators come to Athens after Jax is extinguished for good, y’all will be all excited about this historic game. All of you saying you somehow are going to hold a grudge and be less than enthusiastic about the Gators in Athens are forgetting that we as fans are continually “screwed” by the powers that be of college football, yet here we are on a blog in mid August talking about various what-ifs in the world of college football.

Well, golly gee whiz. Hope I’ll be more excited than I was at the last historic game they played in Athens. 😉

Yeah, I went to both. Got our asses kicked in both. Nothing historic about that.
College football is based on traditions. WLOCP is one of the best. But to piss it away in some quest for an extra recruit would fit the current trend for sure.

Senator, I rewatched the Nebraska v. Florida championship game from that season last night on youtube (I watched it the first time as a senior in high school at Allens) and it made me wonder; was that the greatest game of the 90s for Georgia fans?

I’ll bite: Georgia-Florida, ’97. I think we were a 20 point dog and won by 20. Too bad we didn’t show up the following weekend for Auburn, but such was the ’90’s.

I think it’d have to be the 97 Florida game, 91 Clemson or 98 LSU in consideration but none of those brought me quite the same happiness.

Historically bad…
I mean in 3 posts today we have called our national champion winning head coach “full of shit”, drawn a completely irrelevant inference about the playoff being in Atlanta, and referenced a quote from a former UGA player who grew up 90 minutes from Gainesville about how special the game in Jax is.
I think we are all clear on where your opinion is on the topic.

Sure it’ll be exciting the first time, because it will be unique. But every year after that it will just be playing another rival home and home, nothing unique. No different than Auburn or Tech.
Alternatively it’s unique every year because we only play one rival in a neutral site. See the distinction?

Georgia-Florida’s just another SEC game when it’s on campus. Sorry, it’s the truth. Georgia-Tennessee, Georgia-Auburn, Georgia-GA Tech are all fun but the Florida game is different and it’s not because they’ve got orange helmets.

He might be the “Kang,” but he isn’t a czar.
This comment does a disservice to the great man that you invoke in your user name. Larry never once said in the middle of the beatings through the 90s that the game should move to Athens.

Again, the Supreme Court has ruled that individual conferences can make their own rules and not be in violation of antitrust laws.
The SEC could step up and allow full recruiting at games like Jacksonville, etc.
Stop blaming the NCAA now and hiding behind a facade

If it can’t be on a Saturday because of the NFL (and it shouldn’t moving forward with addition of Week 18 in the NFL), play it on Friday. Hell, I’d even take a Thursday over a Monday.

I rather liked Indy. It was colder than a witch’s titty, but I was there to watch a football game and that was indoors. It was close enough to not have to rely on finding short notice flights, which matters a lot. Heck, it was a shorter drive than our semifinal game in Florida.

Any of y’all ever seen an English Bulldog in a fight? He’ll put a bite on his opponent and won’t let go. That’s what some of y’all remind me of with your position on the game in J’ville. Not saying it’s a bad thing. Hell, I admire resilience in a man. Seems the only way y’all will let this go is like how Acee Christian got his Bulldog to let go. Spit on his finger and shoved it in the dog’s ass. He let loose with a Yelp.
That might be what some of y’all need. Like Charlie Harper says, you want the spit!
