Home and Home With Tennessee 2026 and 2027

I know and understand that my opinion is not popular with most of you. I get it. Tech - Tennessee and Tech - Auburn games are more attractive than Tech - Jax State or Tech - SC State. However, I want our program to be successful, to win the maximum number of games. It seems to me that with UGA plus eight conference games concern over strength of schedule in those three other non-conference games is not too important. I want to give our head coaches the best chance to succeed and I don’t think you will be successful in seasons where you lose 2 or 3 non-conference games. Now, once we are winning ten or eleven games regularly that seems to be the time to take on greater non-conference challenges.
 
I think maybe JBatt made the decision that viewership numbers are more important than wins when it comes to getting a seat at the table when the final conf realignments happen, plus we might actually beat an SEc team eventually.
 
When you have a new team every year or two, "waiting" until whatever doesn't really have much meaning imo

Agree. Our ACC schedule will be what it is, but anything we can do to get Tenn and Auburn back on the schedule with some regularity helps us from a fan engagement perspective.

Whose fans? Sure, Tennessee fans will love coming to Atlanta, tailgating at the Benz, getting a W, and going home. How many times do GT alumni have to have the football pulled by Lucy until we see a pattern?

Listen, I’ll be at the game wearing white and gold. But, just like at the ND game, we all know we won’t be walking out with a W. Having hope is one thing, but until we start out recruiting the SEC we aren’t winning,

If you want to discuss the specifics of that game - we will be losing our 3 year starter at QB and RB. You just don’t replace them. I know, Philo is the greatest, but at that point he would have sat the bench for over 2 1/2 years. That’s a lot of rust. And Tennessee is going to be hurting this upcoming season which means they are going to open the NIL dollars even more for 2026. Then add on top we have no clue if Buster will be here or even Weinke because the SEC has enough money to buy our coaches out from under us.

I’m fine playing Tennessee instead of Ga State and taking the cash over a W, but when we get a low tier or no bowl game we have no one to blame but ourselves.

This is a giant turd of a post.

Might want to up your Prozac dose just a bit.
 
We’ve laid a lot of turds at the Benz. We’ve won 1 game there because we play teams who out recruit us there. But, I know, our 3rd defensive coordinator in 3 years will magically turn us into an SEC defense. And that’s the difference between the ACC and SEC - defense.
