[QUOTE="jgtengineer, post: 930084, member: 3094"] Actually i think the yearly game against Georgia hurts us in this case. From a pure revenue standpoint georgia in years we have them at home helps us. From a perception it hurts us and not JUST for the fact that they have such a large number at our game. But during those years georgia fans will often buy upper deck season tickets for the relatively cheap price they are so they can watch the georgia game. They try and sell those tickets for the other games but some of them don't even bother because when weigh it against hte cost of a second hand Georgia Georgia Tech ticket doing it this way is much cheaper. So we have lower real attendance which looks bad. Honestly If stansbury had not been stansbury I would have used the Covid year as an excuse to change up the series. We weren't going to be competive any time soon (fortunatley i think this has changed) and we have other traditional SEC rivals we could have revived in a deal with MBS. Imagine if instead of playing that rivalry game late in the year we worked out a deal to play it in september. And we alternated which SEC team we were playing. Its a "neutral site" game so you can change it every year but with a deal we make more money from it. We set it up so we can play Auburn, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee. UGa would have agreed to this, they would much rather NOT play us because they have nothing to gain from it anymore. (hence why they didn't fight to keep it the covid year) This would have made smart business sense because the SEC really wants to get rid of those late season OOC rivalry games since they can actually hurt a team headed into the post season. Okay logical hat off THWG lets kick their *** yearly. [/QUOTE]
