Kirby has been a big proponent at moving it to the campuses. Don’t blame him but I always thought TWLCP was dope as is.

Rivalry games should be on campus. It's better for everyone.
Texas/OU at the Fair is a damned cool environment, but even that one I think would be a blast to have on-campus.

OU/Texas at the state fair is one of the few neutral site games that actually works out really well.

Can't be 10-10 and walk away from The Eyes.Sarkisian apologizes for not singing after Texas' game
Texas coach Steve Sarkisian apologized for not staying on the field during the playing of “The Eyes of Texas” after Saturday's loss.
The fact he's even got to address this is disgusting.

I’m very pleased for a couple of reasons.Sarkisian apologizes for not singing after Texas' game
Texas coach Steve Sarkisian apologized for not staying on the field during the playing of “The Eyes of Texas” after Saturday's loss.
1. It proves that
justincredible7
and myself were right when we were doing da Griddy with tears in our eyes when The EYES was played
2. Sark and his sponsor are operating and working on the same page. I was angry when I zoomed in and didn’t see Sark there for da EYES but I reserved judgment because I assumed he was on the phone with his sponsor. Glad his sponsor told him that da EYES are more important than da game.

So on that last play 'cuse had a man open in the end zone behind where the ball went (and really a 1 on 1 in each corner) and the QB decided to stare down and throw into triple/almost quadruple coverage huh...

Gotta know what the progressions are on that play, but Schrader isn't exactly a multiple read, accurate/steady thrower

The Pac 12 currently has a 3 way tie for 2nd place and there is a highly likely scenario where there is a 3 way tie for 1st place at the end of the year.
The tie-breaker rules, as written, mean that Utah could win out with wins over both USC and Oregon, but because all 3 teams didn't play each other, USC and Oregon would go forward to the conference championship using the records vs common opponents (UCLA.)
Utah's fanbase would self-immolate if that were to happen and because of that the Pac 12 has not responded to requests over the past several days to clarify the rule.
Alternatively, the Pac 12 could issue a clarification of their tie breaker that would permit Utah to hold a tie breaker over USC and Oregon, but this would mean changing their own conference rules mid-season and would essentially screw USC/Oregon (this seems like the most Pac 12 thing to do.)

I hope they move it. Rivalry games are so much better on campus. I can understand certain rivalry games like Oklahoma versus Texas being played during the Texas State Fair but at least that is a cool venue. Jacksonville is a crappy city with nothing to do.
The reason Kirby wants to move the game out of Jacksonville is for recruiting purposes. We're forfeiting a home game and an opportunity to host recruits. This season and last season, Georgia has forfeited two home games in order to play two neutral side games (Clemson and Florida in 2021 and Oregon and Florida this season).
Florida should be on board too. It would benefit them greatly.

Kind of a crazy stat here. Georgia's linebacker commit was the fastest recorded player in the nation this weekend. Kid is going to be an absolute beast in college

Man I've been on campus for Miami games, FSU games and various other conference games. The level of pure unadulterated debauchery that would be experienced en masse for a UGA game in Gainesville would be unrivaled and probably leave the city as a whole shut down for a solid 3 days afterwards as everyone from the students to the cops try to recover from the hangovers and violence that occurs on that Saturday.

UGA still played 6 true home games last year and this year, and the Benz is hardly a road game. Your opponent almost always has to travel and that game had recruits at it.
I do get the desire for rivalries to be played on campus and the seeking to get all the revenue from the home game though, and it would be cool for kids to finally actually see and play at their rivals stadium.

Ohio states first 5 games were home and 3 of them at night, it was ridiculous. I don’t mind night games when it’s a decent matchup but the teams were trash

Denver Harris, Chris Marshall, PJ Williams and maybe Anthony Lucas suspended indefinitely for smoking weed in the locker room.

I’m gonna say a kid running 10.9 in the 100m is not running close to 23mph in helmet and pads. Not saying he’s not fast…. But no.

Also rumors this might've been strike 3 for Denver Harris and he's been told to pack his **** up.
Between the sneaking out, then the parking garage Instagram Live thing, now this... He's likely out.
