Yet it's fine being home for the Swamp Rats? Sorry, but it takes 2 teams to play a game - not 1.

Just remember no matter what happens today, "the financially responsible thing to do is play the game in Jacksonville". The media did not challenge that assertion. The follow up question should have been, why not challenge Atlanta to come up with a better incentive and have Jacksonville compete with that? McGarity doesn't want that question asked because he already knows the answer. Florida has to agree or there is no deal and he knows Florida would never agree to play UGA in Atlanta. Florida knows it would be a home game for us.

I am tired or reading how the team was booed off the field. That is not true as the fans do NOT boo the players. The booing was for the coaches and their awful game plan and play calling. Seriously, a sneak up the middle when you need one inch and fail to get because everyone knew you were doing it is inexcusable. Also, not letting Blankenship kick a field goal that there is no question he would have made is ridiculous.
Dawg fans love their team and support to the end but coaches make the decisions and bad decisions elicit bad reactions.

How many more reasons do we need to STOP PLAYING THIS GAME IN FLORIDA every year?

Florida is right! It is a home game for them! Either do home and home or Jacksonville and Atlanta.

I live in Georgia about 70 miles from the stadium. Do you know how many great Georgia players grew up within 100 miles of the Gator Bowl/Alltell Stadium/TIAA Bank Field? Buck Belue, Lindsay Scott, Fred Gibson, Champ Bailey, just to name a few. People don't realize it but Athens is a long way from down here. I still haul my @$$ 4.5 hours both ways 4-5 times a year anyway and I love it, but the Atlanta folks can do it once. People don't realize we gain a lot of benefit from playing this game. This game makes us a home team down here, without it, hell Auburn's closer, FSU's closer, and Florida's closer to most S. Georgia/N. Florida kids. If you don't think it helps us in recruiting you are crazy. If playing in Atlanta occasionally helps recruiting, you can **** sure bet playing in Jacksonville does, for all the same reasons.

Good. More room for us in the 4th quarter. Seriously, it'll probably be closer to 50/50, has been in the worst of years.

Wait, I've been getting told for years now by UGA fans that Jacksonville is a neutral site. How is this possible? Oh yeah, it's because Jacksonville is in Florida 72 miles away from the University of Florida in Gainesville and is anything but a neutral site.

Hey, Mike:
Your story picture is outdated; it is now TIAA Bank Field, as you referenced...
