I got a couple more general comments I'm willing to share...

Looks like 2020 against Virginia, 2022 against Oregon and 2024 vs. Clemson.

I don't see how giving UGA an annual presence in that stadium helps us. I don't see how we make dramatically more money moving the game there. And I certainly don't see how we leverage that into creating an atmosphere and legacy at Tech that keeps alumni coming and giving. I'm not a fan of moving any games there, but it is what it is, and moving things like the ND game or a really good OOC game isn't a terrible idea. I'd rather we right the ship and get into the CFA kickoff more often.

Yes. I couldn't remember the teams but when I saw UGa and the even year pattern I knew what was going on. It's not a coincidence.

Meanwhile, we have babies crying about hilarious paper bag heads instead of going to the games. Winning will get the stadium closer to 40-60 and then we have to start gouging season tickets on odd years to price out the Tech "fans" that sell the UGa game and dwags that buy the season tickets just for COFH. And then for single tickets I'm talking aggressive stuff like Virginia that forced a mandatory $100 donation to the Athletic Dept for the Commonwealth Cup tickets, but make it $500 instead.

I was almost directly across from them. I couldn’t hear them over Knuck if you Buck or Mo Bamba. So the DJ earned his pay for the year.

Yeah. They did that first note then "knuck if you buck...knuck if you buck.."
 
I was there - start charging $350 a ticket to uga games until we can get this turned around. It was so disgusting.

Link says Notre Dame in 2020?
 
Only way COFH moves to MBS is if the outdoor cocktail party moves to a home & home situation. Mutts continue to bitch and moan about Jacksonville. Doubtful they'd give up another cesspool game.

I don't think anybody is suggesting that UGA would give up their home game. Just Tech. Which would be ridiculous.
 
Ok so MB is a debatable idea for revenue, maybe infeasible (like many ideas we kick around).
But what about the early in the season timing part of it...which frankly interests me more. Again, the head ball coach advocated it, if you could get it.
I feel like our future can be great success in coastal acc plus do well enough vs uga. Play early, accept results, move on. Hopefully enjoy results often enough to maintain some semblance of a rivalry.
Thoughts?

When's the last time Georgia Tech didn't play Georgia as the last game of the regular season?

I'd rather play them at the end of the year where we can ruin them or provide us with a needed boost.
 
The argument for playing earlier include:
Maybe easier to beat them, Spurrier claimed it was, who knows.
Definitely easier to recover from early season loss - uga lost to usce early and they’re ranked #4. If they’d lost to usce last week, I don’t think they are #4.
We could realistically lose early to Clemson and uga, run the table on our other acc games and go to a great bowl as a highly ranked team with two quality losses.
Get one win from either Clemson or uga, run the table and we’re in playoff contention as a one high quality loss team.
I don’t think running the acc (excl Clemson) table is such a stretch, but of course not a slam dunk by any means.
One final reason to do something different involves dealing with the definition of insanity.
