The best suggestion is the Home-and-Home series. That way we get the Gators Between-the-Hedges every other year. But Georgia’s boosters and alum are to short sighted for that to happen. They would rather the Dogs be dominated yearly in Gainesville as their 2-13 record the past 15 years illustrates. So Coach Richt and the Dogs are stuck with an away game every year against our best opponent. And real Georgia fans are stuck watching our annual loss on TV. I’m sure the Urban Meyer and the Gators love this situation and keep thinking “it is true, there is a sucker born every minute.”

New name for the Florida/Georgia game? How about the “Keep trying” game. If Georgia keeps trying, they may win one of these. It certainly won’t be this year. Georgia won’t cover the line again even though they are 14 points underdogs.

“And real Georgia fans are stuck watching our annual loss on TV”……What? Are you insane? The “boosters and alum” the actual “real” Georgia fans WILL travel to the game and show support for the great tradition in JAX. It is a neutral site. We don’t lose because the pseudo-fans like yourself in South Georgia that never attended any university can’t afford to take the trip to JAX. We lose because of personnel and ultra-conservative coaching that sputters in the red zone.

Shannon: Actually I have a Masters from UGA and attend all the home games. I love the Dogs and Herschel was my childhood sports idol. Now if the Dogs have such poor personnel, why are there over 40 Bulldogs currently playing in the NFL. I also don’t think Coach Richt is conservative at all. I think Coach Richt will retire as the best Dog coach ever. But he will also retire with a horrendous record against the Gators because the game is a home game for the Gators EVERY year! Over the next 20 years under Coach Richt, the Dogs will go 3-17 against the Mighty Gators if the game is left in Florida. But it seems like many UGA boosters and fans would rather have a weekend to party than win. I think Athens is a much better place to watch a Dogs game. And as Coach Russell said, “there is nothing like being a Dog in Athens when the Bulldogs win.”

At least for this year just call it the “Martinez Massacre” because that is what is gonna happen if Willie Martinez runs that lameass cover 2 zone every single play and allows Chris Leak to just stand back there and pick the secondary apart.
the good news, maybe a 400 yd 5 TD game from Leak will finally get UGA to fire Martinez and put him out of our misery.

I think that the playing in JAX is a home game for the Gators is a little overplayed. Somebody please go back and do a little research on the teams records based on the game (or open week) scheduled the week before the Cocktail Party. Pre-‘90, I think that you will see that Florida traditionally played Auburn the Saturday before the Georgia-Florida game and the Dawgs played Kentucky, had an open date or played someone like Temple or Wm & Mary. The game was also played the first Saturday in November. Due to changes in the SEC and scheduling, since 1990 the Gators have had a significant number of off weeks prior to the cocktail party. The Dawgs have had to play an SEC opponent the week before the game almost every year.
Some years the off week probably didn’t mean squat because of talent difference. But in years when the teams were close, it makes a huge difference especially at this point in the season, with having healthy bodies that can stand up in a sixty minute war.
Also, prior to Spurrier and 1990, Florida Field “The Swamp” was an artificial surface. Therefore, it was an adjustment for Florida’s players to play on grass in Jacksonville. Since 1990, that advantage for the Dawgs no longer exists.
The game is truly a neutral site as far as crowd noise and atmosphere. Where Florida has the advantage is in travel and less changes to their practice schedule. Having the off week while Georgia has a game the week before only amplifies this advantage.
This all changes in 2007 when the Dawgs (currently although subject to change since Dawgs are looking for 12th opponent for next season) have an off week before the cocktail party and the Gators have to travel to Kentucky the week prior to the game in Jacksonville.
Moving this game to home and home, IMO would be a big mistake for the Dawgs. Until the fans learn how to maintain an intimidating home field atmosphere for all games (including the Vandys and MSUs)in Sanford Stadium, we would probably only play into the Gators hands by going home and home. (Although Mark Richt does have a tantalizing record on opponents’ home fields)
I would take the 40,000+ passionate GA fans that attend the cocktail party over the 85,000+ in Sanford Stadium. It would be different if we could take that same passion of the 40,000+ and amplify it to the 85,000+ in Athens. I believe that if that happened then Sanford would be truly an intimidating venue. But until then we will have to deal with the home fans that are more passionate about complaining than they are about making some noise to help the team.
And you can call me a blind homer, but I BELIEVE THAT THE BULLDOGS WILL OVERCOME THE GATORS AND THEIR OFF WEEK AND THEIR TRAVEL ADVANTAGE THIS SATURDAY IN JACKSONVILLE.

Following the 2005 season, Georgia held a 46-36-2 advantage in the all-time series. However, Florida has gone 14-2 in the game since 1990 (Georgia winning in 1997 and 2004) to follow a similar 15-5 domination by Georgia through the 70’s and 80’s.

RE: Andy “And real Georgia fans are stuck watching our annual loss on TV.”
No Andy, “real Georgia fans” are in the stands cheering on their team. Just like the “real Georgia fans” that drive 4-6 hours from South Georgia 6 times a year to cheer on their team. If you cannot make one trip over an hour during the season I question you calling yourself a “real Georgia fan.”
To follow up on G8R H8R’s point below, this is probably why the 40,000 that are there actually making noise during the game…we have left the “real Georgia fans” at home in their recliners.
G8R H8 R “It would take the 40,000+ passionate GA fans that attend the cocktail party over the 85,000+ in Sanford Stadium. It would be different if we could take that same passion of the 40,000+ and amplify it to the 85,000+ in Athens. I believe that if that happened then Sanford would be truly an intimidating venue. But until then we will have to deal with the home fans that are more passionate about complaining than they are about making some noise to help the team.”

Here’s a thought for this game…why not start making it fair to Georgia, once & for all have this game every other year in Atlanta? I bet the several hundred thousand Gator alumni in the Atlanta area would be cool with that. Why is it fair that Georgia has to travel 8-9 hrs. every year with no bye week, while the Gators get in their own cars to drive 45 minutes coming off a Bye week.
Someone, please explain how this is FAIR any year? Keep Jacksonville if you must, but it should be every ohter year in Atlanta at the Georgia Dome. Why not let the Dawgs travel 45 minutes for once?
C’mon Damon Evans, get moving on this. I am sick and tired of being a tired road team every single yera. And you wonder why we’ve won only 2 times in the last 15 years. Ridiculous already and Georgia fan who thinks having this game in Jax. every year is a good idea for your team is an idiot.

10 yrs: UF win % over UGA: .800 20 yrs: UF win % over UGA: .750 30 yrs: UF win % over UGA: .567 40 yrs: UF win % over UGA: .512 50 yrs: UF win % over UGA: .570 60 yrs: UF win % over UGA: .542 70 yrs: UF win % over UGA: .500

Com on Dawg fans. You get 1/2 the stadium stop b***’ about the location. Never heard any of you complain during the 80’s.
Build a longer run way in Athens and the team can fly directly to Jax. You set your schedule, not us. Schedule a off week if you want.

I can’t think of any name better than the one we have. Why don’t other schools have to deal with egomaniac presidents that take delight in treating the adoring and loyal fans of such as beloved institution as the University of Georgia like they are underage and irresponsible? Like Ron White said.. Don’t you love it when someone tries to tack a solution to a problem that has nothing to do with the problem. Campus getting trashed has nothing to do with alcohol and everything to do with respect for the campus. You treat people like adults, and they’ll act like adults. You get what you give Adams. You don’t respect the fans, we won’t respect you.

Please, Please, Please! Stop with the Home-and-Home series nonsense. Has nobody paid any attention to the fact that we just don’t play as well at home as we do on the road?…..(need proof?, just look at our record vs. UT the past 4 games, or look back to the last time UF came to Athens to play us in our own backyard…..wow, was that ever ugly).
Or if you don’t want to look back so far, just look at this season at home. We barely beat a crp-a* MSU team a few days ago (due to an amazing, nail-in-the-coffin type play by one of our best Defensive players in the waning minutes of the game).
We lost the previous 2 home games, one to Vandy (it still stings admitting to that), due to less than mediocre play (and coaching) on our part. Notice the way in which we lost; it almost exactly mimicked the final drive of MSU, except that we didn’t make the spectacular defensive play to seal our victory. We just bent (over, if you will), and broke, as well.
Before our two losses, we pulled out a narrow victory against a very good JV team from the University of Colorado. Our defensive coaching staff piled on the praise for their offensive scheme, but I haven’t seen any other team have much difficulty with it. And if you’ll remember, UC was on a final drive to win that game, and we had to pull an interception out of our collective a**es to seal that victory.
Again, it was a very good play, but it shouldn’t have been necessary for our victory against a team that had played so poorly thus far in the season.
Meanwhile, away at USC we had a convincing win. And while the score (away) against the Rebels was pretty darn close, the game was a bit more decisive than the MSU one (and it turned out much better than either Vandy or UT).
Anyway, sorry for rambling on so much, but Home-and-Home against UF would not have the desired effect most Dawg fans think it would. Someone who wrote earlier had it right….. our pitiful record over the past decade or so against UF is NOT due to where the game has been played. It’s been due to a lack of team focus, poor coaching schemes/adjustments at halftime, and flat out intimidation from the UF team (winning once in, what, 13 or so years will do that to a group of kids, regardless of how tough they are every other week).
Go Dawgs! Play tough like I know you’re capable of (especially both Lines up front), and we really can do this. I’m expecting a good game, despite our problems so far this season.

By the way, Dan, that’s an absolutely perfect idea for what to call the game/weekend if we have to change it…..
To recap his comment yesterday afternoon:
“By Dan We should pull a Prince and just go by a symbol of a cocktail or martini glass and call it “The Game formerly known as the World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party”. Everyone’s happy”
It’d be hard to pick which cocktail to agree on, but I love the “Game formerly known as…” comment. Aside from leaving the title the way it currently is, your idea would be the way to go…..Adams be damned. Just what the hell does he think this is going to accomplish, anyway?
Honestly, I think I drank less before this game while a student, because I had further to walk to get to the stadium than I did for any home game. And after the game, I was almost always Indoors (thus negating the title of the Weekend). Eh, whatever…..Go Dawgs.

“The Whine Because it’s in Jacksonville” Bowl Enough of the talk of moving the game to Home and Home. In the 70’s and 80’s, the Dawgs dominated and their fans looked forward to an extended weekend away - staying in coastal GA communities, driving down for the game, and making a party of it. Now that Florida is dominating the series, they think they’ll fare better if the game is played in Sanford & Son Stadium. WRONG. The sleeping giant that is Florida was awakened by the ‘ol Ball Coach and where the game is played makes no difference. It is a unique tradition in college football so embrace it. If you don’t like it, then hire a more consistent football coach who recruits better athletes. Oh - and the respective Presidents can pound sand.

Only a fool would believe that not referring to the Ga./Fl. game as T.W.L.O.C.P. will reap positive benefits and result in one less ounce of alcohol being consumed. I guess fool and Adams has become synonymous though, since Michael took the helm at the UGA.

First of all, I am glad Adams made the change about alcohol on campus. I walked through North Campus on the way to the game saturday and it was a very family oriented, healthy environment that looked cleaned up. It is an improvement.
Second, I am reminded of Vince Dooley’s observation that if the UGA FLA game were changed to a home and home arrangement, it would provide UGA with more flexibility to schedule more high profile out of conference opponents.
We want to host 6 or 7 home games with a 93,000+ stadium, however high profile opponents insist on a return trip to their stadium in return for coming to Sanford stadium and that is hard to do when we schedule a game in Jacksonville each year.
Therefore we have to search out a 1A team if we can get one that needs a payday in return for us not having to schedule a return game at their place. If we cannot get a 1A team, we have to drop down to a 1AA team.
I personally think Georgia Southern is the only 1AA team we should ever schedule, as it is a class program with way more fans than GT that will fill up Sanford stadium.
The game does not need a name. It just needs to be home and home so we will be more free to get Big 10, Big 12, Clemson, FSU, ND, VT, and others to come here on a regular basis.

Well John, I would of gone to UF but my parents wanted me to get real degrees. I got both & with a 4.0 GPA. UGA is a real school & has been since long before UF was “hatched”. My nephew dates a UF grad. She’s been living here for 2 1/2 years, still has a Florida tag of her car & a Fla. driver’s license. She’s been told atleast 6 times by the police she’s breaking the law.But still hasn’t changed either.

Do they want to change the name because a Florida fan got drunk and then beat up for his top of the line jean shorts? Why is Adams still around? I’m looking forward to the day when Athens is a dry city, all men’s sports programs have been eliminated, and President Adams no longer gets any alumni money for his expensive dishwashing machines. He is a shameless self-promoter who wants his name in the news at any cost.
BTW Why are there so many of Auburn and Tech fans that spend their day on a blog about a UGA-FLA game? Just admit that you are from Atlanta and went to Auburn because you couldn’t get in to Georgia or you went to Tech and are just bitter because you were miserable for 4 years.
The Cocktail party is the most unique event in college football. Something to be witnessed by all football fans at some time during their lifetime. Keep the traditions alive and fire Adams!

Well, for all of you bullpuppy fans, you will have yet another year of crying into your Zima. Or better yet, use those “degrees” you earned from the south’s oldest institute for animal husbandry for your crying towels, if you can pry them out of the cellophane that reads “Charmin”. The Gators will prevail. Maybe if you had a coach that didn’t get his plays out of a Pop Warner playbook, you might stand a chance. But I contradict myself. Georgia fans can’t read words containing more than one syllable. That is why they think “G” comes before “F” in the English alphabet. I am almost postitve they spell football with a “G” just to keep from reminding themselves of the buttkicking they are about to receive.
Remember Georgia fans, you can’t spell UGA and not thinking of the superior team, the GATORS!!!!!!

It should be called and will be called “The World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party” Thats the name that the fans and players want it to be called. Your an idiot if you want the Georgia Florida game to be played on campus, that was like having the Sugar Bowl in Atlanta. Im a UGA fan and it doesn’t bother me that they have dominated us, I don’t attribute that to where we play. It didn’t seem to bother UGA the 40 years before Florida’s run. Whoever suggested this game be moved to campus is probably one of those fans who make Sanford not fun anymore. Georgia home games have turned into a social event, people call themsevles fans however they don’t watch the game, they are just there to socialize. They look at you weird if you stand up and yell. Some of you wonder why our team is never fired up???? It’s because they played in front of more fired up fans in high school. All of you fans came along when Richt got here, where were you during the Goff and Donnan era????? Who gives a s** what you wear to the game or where you park or what you drink, stand up and f**ing yell. The game is the cocktail party, and if you want it to be home and home then you are one of these bandwagon fans that came along in 2002, you donate more money to pass people who have had season tickets for 30 years just so you can be seen at games and take pictures, and say you were there. Screw all of you, stay at home or give your tickets to someone who cares and keep your pretty asses at the bars. It is the Worlds Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party and the game must stay in Jacksonville. I like the game being in Jacksonville, the real fans go to this game and they will be louder than any group of fans in Sanford except the students and the nose bleeds. This also goes out to the fans that Boo MoMass, all of you should be stripped of your tickets forever, go watch Tech. Hell as terrible as our fans are at home games I wouldn’t want to catch the ball either. I wouldn’t mind losing the rest of the games this year if it meant getting rid of a majority of the fans that go to Sanford these days.

I am not worry about us to be able to cover the odd of 14 points under. But I do worry that Stafford has to come up with 40-50 points just to look respectable. We’ve got enough talent in both offense and defense to dominate any teams but we do’nt know how to use them.

I know you will say get out of the past, but by talking about the last 15 you people are in the past too. Lets not forget the fact that there are 119 D-1 schools and we, UGA, are the 11th winningest team of all time. We have 699 victories, only 10 teams have won more and UF is not one of them!!! GO DAWGS, and for all of you so called DAWG fans that bash our team on a slightly down year, quit pulling for us. We do not need you.

There is no way it is a neutral site. Remember when the Dawgs played LSU in the dome for the SEC championship games, everyone noted that it was not really a neutral site.

How about this? “Adams is as dumb as a stapler in water game.” Why not focus on real issues, students, parents and supporters have been drinking at games as long as there have been games. The ones that drink to excess do it whether there is a game or not. In stead of trying to spoil things for those who are responsible, why not punish those who are not responsible. Interesting concept “Make people responsible for their actions.” Of course, our lawyers will not like that nor will our ultra liberal friends like that. But, too bad.

You obviously have never been to the Georgia vs. Florida game. What makes this series great is the neutral site. I used to think that Florida had the advantage because the game was held in Florida but they don’t. Half the stadium is Florida and half is Georgia… the crowd noise is the same for both teams.

How about “another brick in the politically correct wall party ” or the worlds largest annual reality check party”. How about this ” the world largest outdoor gathering of fans that never figured out that Georgia has never really had great coaching staffs over the years party”.

To AtlantaGatorLee and the rest of the ignorant reptile faithful, You might want to know what your talking about before you open your mouth and really prove how stupid you are(but thats just typical for a gator fan). The Dawgs own the all time series by 10 games and the 20 games before 1990 the Dawgs won 15 of them, so where you got all that bull s** percentage stats I have no idea (keep trying though you might believe it) The momentum has been in gators favor this decade but all that changes this weekend when the Dawgs break tebows neck and ends his career. Really the problem is the bye week not the location.And if I ever see you walking the streets of Atlanta with Gator gear on, I swear I will run your a* over and add you to my collection of gator hide boots, wallets, belts, etc… So you better enjoy it while you can ‘cause Dawgs kick a* this weekend! By the way, when was the last time the gators won the SEC? Looks like the Dawgs have been the more dominant team easily the last 5 years. The name of the game should be “Georgia has the best fans,football team and history thats the end of it, period bowl” Sorry, wannabe be like us gators, maybe in another lifetime. peace out you boathoppin’ crybaby scaly reptiles.

Riverdale vs. Morrow - Oct. 26 at Tara
This was the worst officiating game I have ever seen. First, why will the referees cheat on Morrow? The quaterback ran the ball down to the 1 yard line, hit the orange cone as he dived for the endzone and the ball went Out of bound. A Riverdale player pick the ball up from out of bound and walked around with it and then pitched it to another player and started to run up the field. All the Ref’s had run down in the endzone. They gave the ball to Riverdale. The Ref’s should have been a shame of themself to allow Riverdale to advance a ball that was out of bound and to give them the ball at all.
2nd - Number 7 on Morrow team ran a punt all the way back in the end zone but he jumped in the endzone. The Ref’s threw the flag and called a 35 yard penalty for celebrating in the end zone. Morrow received a 35 yard penalty but when Riverdale had a player to jump in the end zone and score they did not receive a penalty at all. The Ref’s in this game was awful and they should never be allowed to call another game in Clayton County. The Ref’s should be a shame of themself for trying to take the game from Morrow because our players deserve to win. This is the first time they have won two games in a row for at least the fours years my son have played. The Ref’s should be fired. The Ref’s tried to help Riverdale win but, Morrow players never gave up and the still won the game. 37-34.

I think it should still be called the “wWorld’s Largest cocktail Party” but they should have it in Jacksonville one year and Atlanta the next. That way it is fair and both teams would have to drive the same distance for their “home” games. Jacksonville is not a neutal site as it is in the state of Florida. Every other year our players should only have to drive an hour or so also and GA could use some of the revenue for these games. AN hour from gator territory is not neutral and they always have a bye week before they play us. The powers that be want the Gators to win and that is the way it is.
