DCWarEagle 0 Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Check this out: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/sion...lege/index.html Oregon State backed out of what would have been a three-game series starting next season, leaving Georgia without an opening-game opponent for 2007. -- Atlanta Journal-Constitution That sucks for Georgia. Anyone know why that happened? Southlink? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eibua12 81 Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 9 Game Pac-10 season has them to shift some games and I expect that there were conflicts with that date. UGA would be a tough road game. I have not clue what the UGA schedule is but I expect there wasn't a date that matched up as open later on both sides of the coin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger1992 999 Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 UGA actually has an off week next year before Florida, but Damon Evans said they definitely would not give up that off week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthLink02 8 Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Not only that but Cincy backed out of a 3-game series with us as well a few weeks back. Not sure why OSU backed out to be honest. Evans has said that he called Michigan and numerous other big-time schools but MICHIGAN refused to come down to Athens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abrnfanatc 6 Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 I can understand OSU backing out, what with the 9 game Pac-10 schedule. Now that they will have to add the likes of Stanford and Arizona to their schedule, they can't afford ANOTHER killer game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

autigeremt 6,686 Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 This is another reason to go with Tommy's idea. Play 11 SEC games and 1 OOC. But really.....this will be a problem year in and year out for the SEC powers. And the likes of ESPN will say "Look at that OOC schedule".....pisses me off!

They lost 5 games last year... Michigan has always had that stance about coming to a southern school. Unless I overlooked it, the only SEC team they have played OCC Georgia in Michigan in 57 and 65 and S. Carolina in Columbia in 85. My bad, they played kentucky in Michigan in 1908 and Vandy this year, and a bunch of times prior to the 70's with a couple trips to Nashville.

eibua12 81 Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 This also means that UGA and AU are both looking for a big OOC team I guess it depends who is more flexible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUBoggs 0 Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Scheduling Vandy, no offense to the Dores, was a no brainer for Michigan. Why not schedule AU, LSU, UT, UGA, Ark, UA or UF? Get into a home and home series with a legitimate SEC power and show your program off to the South. SC came to AU and Arky. I say Michigan is scared of the possibility of a can of whoop @$$ being opened in the BIG house! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proud Tiger 4,261 Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 They came to their senses and realized that they don't want a piece of the SEC. I doubt that. They played LSU a couple of years ago in BR and only lost by one point as their kicker missed three extra points. And they looked USC in the eye last Saturday and beat them, something we haven't done in two recent tries. Plus.....always say something nice about Beavers.
