“Ain’t nothing finer in the land than a drunk, obnoxious Georgia fan!” It is a classic, self-aware rally cry sung by Georgia Bulldogs fans for decades, usually belted out to the tune of the “Battle Hymn of the Republic” (or “Glory, Glory to Old Georgia”). It’s a staple at tailgates and in the stands on game days in Athens. It’s iconic and makes many Damn Good Dawgs proud. It gets a little louder and a little prouder when Georgia’s biggest rivals come Between the Hedges. Georgia vs. Clemson is one of the most iconic rivalries in college football. Let’s dive into the Georgia vs. Clemson Neutral Site Madness.
Say It Ain’t So!: Georgia vs. Clemson Neutral Site Madness
Neutral Site Talk… AGAIN
Georgia athletic director Josh Brooks confirmed on Friday that they are actively discussing moving the game to a neutral site due to the pressure of the 9-game SEC schedule. Brooks mentioned that adding a ninth conference game and playing Georgia Tech put them in a “precarious situation” with their home-and-home commitments, and they are considering shifting to neutral sites to keep the matchups going rather than canceling them. Bless his heart. We know, we said this last week about the potential of Georgia and Florida State’s series being canceled. While it wasn’t canceled, we have seen that the series is heading to a neutral site, likely not near you.
The words from Brooks cut like a knife, especially when we, Georgia Football, tweeted on Saturday afternoon…
