McLoofus 35,182 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 *Just a quick reminder that 5 of the CFP's final top 25 ranked teams (before the bowls) are on our annual schedule. One of those teams made it to the playoffs. I believe 3 of them were, at one point or another in the season, ranked #1 in the nation. I know at least 2 were.* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meh130 1,043 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 AU-GT is one of the oldest football rivalries in the deep south, and for AU, I think it is second only to AU-UGA. For that reason, I would like to see it return as a semi-regular series. I certainly prefer GT to other ACC teams. I agree with all of the commentary of how distant teams have been able to bring people to JHS. I believe this is because of AU's proximity to Atlanta, and the large number of people from around the U.S. in Atlanta. The reverse could be an issue. Universities in close proximity to large metro areas would be better for a series than a university in a remote area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoundationEagle 637 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Everyone who remembers the games before 1980 will enjoy this game 17 years old recruits don't remember the 70s.... We already recruit well in Atlanta. This game will do nothing to help recruiting, and if we aren't using OOC games to help recruiting then we are complete idiots. This would be a huge wasted opportunity. GT has everything to gain by playing AU and we have nothing to gain by playing them. That's the basic definition of a bad deal.

Auburnfan91 1,407 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 If we're going to schedule ACC teams, we picked the two least interesting teams to play. Miami, Pittsburgh, or North Carolina would have been my choices. It would be nice if we could play teams that we've rarely played. Instead we play two of our most played non-conference opponents. How exciting............ Scheduling Louisville was a good move but then Jay Jacobs goes and schedules Clemson and now is trying to get Ga Tech. Talk about a buzzkill.

Only one of those four I'd want to play is Va Tech. GT is ok, if only to have the pajama parade once again. Their coach is a jerk though. I'd rather play BYU. They have a national following, practically a guaranteed tv game, and we've never played them before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd definitely drive up to auburn to see the BYU game. I would go to GT at Jordan-Hare if family went. No interest in clemson.

cooltigger21 0 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Maybe it's just the way I view things in general but I like adventuring out and trying new things. I don't like getting in a rut or routine and doing the same old thing all the time. It's fun to get out and challenge yourself and see what else is out there in this big old world. It's not a challenge to schedule GT or Clemson. Those are safe for the fans and the program. It's the easy choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey 16,625 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I've never been a fan of change for the sake of change. Tech and Clemson are as challenging as we should get with OOC teams and I like having them on Auburn's schedule. I like going to Grant Field and to that place Coach Jordan called "A pastoral scene" at Clemson. A ten year home and home contract with each one would suit me fine. To each his own, I suppose.

"challenging as we should get" That sounds like comfortable talk...why would you be comfortable playing the same guys? Alabama plays Michigan, VT, etc and etc LSU plays Wisconsin, Oregon, the like, finally were slightly expanding wit UL and Wazzu but you WANT to go back to playing the same Clemson and GT again and again, expansion and seeing new more interesting teams is necessary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
