    Whoever these folks are in the Twitter video are idiots. They should get in line behind Robin Roberts, Samuel Jackson & Whoopi Goldberg and never be allowed to been seen or heard from again.

    Georgia biggest rivalry is due in part to the Jacksonville tradition. Move the game to home/home and in 10 years the gators will be similar to Auburn in terms of rivalries.

    with the new schedule and no divisions a home/home will grow more important for recruiting and less for the gator-haters

    Nice work here, Mike Griffith. Glad to see ACC Mayor and Commission called out for not taking a seat at the table. That's irresponsible on their part.

    The ACC mayor and commission is utterly rutterless. The only financial gain they can envision is to further tax the properties of those few Athenians not now residing in Oconee County.

    Kirby Smart has earned the right to be heard on this issue. Make this a home and home and the money will come. It is ridiculous to not give our head coach every competitve advantage when it comes to recruiting. Georgia is plenty rich, don't get greedy! Sometimes, money is not everything. Home and home will give the players and the fans an experience they have not had in their lifetimes. Let's think outside the box here.

    I'm not sure why we are talking about this. All groups are pretty clear on what they want. I don't see any "shifts" in any sort of trends. The decision makers aren't asking the fans nor even the coaches what they want.

    In the end, it comes down to money. Is Jacksonville going to give up on that money? Of course not. So, the only way I see things changing is if Atlanta decides to step in and make an offer to counter.

    As usual, the money will decide! WOOF

    It is a counter to the neutral site claim made by (mostly) Florida. Jacksonville is not a neutral site. It's Gator Country. If home and home is too bitter a pill to swallow, the next best option is a Jacksonville/Atlanta rotation.

    Tennessee, no; Auburn, no; LSU, maybe if you don't factor the outrageous traffic after games; Texas A&M, don't know - haven't been there; The Swamp? puhleeze. I have on good authority that Oxford, MS is a good time. I'd say Athens is in the top 3, especially considering rapidity of ingress/egress, and how well the traffic is managed.
