Home and Home With Tennessee 2026 and 2027

I think with ACC money being distributed based some on how many people watch our games, this is smart. Plus, beating Tennessee will help us more than beating Ga. State. And, we're already beating one team on the road in Georgia that year, so don't need another in-state gimme.
very true. Big name OOC is a revenue generator.
 
Regional rivalries are the only thing that will save resurrect and make college football a good sport again.
Mostly. You still have USC v Notre Dame type games as well, a few historical rivalries that are bot geographically based but more based on historical matchups

Yep. This will result in $$$$ and another solid win. It will also increase our ranking before the win, as all Sec opponents have to be ranked before they play.
 
That can't be the case, we just hosted Ole Miss at BDS a few seasons ago
It may make it an easier sell. But you’re right. At the time Ole Miss wasn’t what they are now though and I think there were rumors they were trying to move the game or get out of it entirely.
 
I think this is excellent.

We get a LOT of street cred by going toe to toe with top third teams from the sec.
 
Aren’t the BDS renovations supposed to be occurring by 2026, as in there wouldn’t be any games played at BDS?

Would we give Tennessee a portion of the MBS gate to sweeten the pot? Or do you think MBS is just that big a draw that they'd want to play there?

Yeah I think we give an allotment of tickets that is larger than normal for a road game when we do these MBS things. I could be wrong.
 
Their Mr. Wonderful quarterback Nico didn't show up to spring practice today, holding out for a new NIL contract.
 
I'm hearing we're dropping the Georgia State game.
I might be in the minority, but I was looking forward to attending that game at Center Parc Stadium. In-state games always have that extra spice. Tech would have likely murdered the Panthers, especially with how the Jackets keep improving.
