Here's what our HC recently said.
“I enjoy neutral site games,” he said. “They’re good one-offs. They’re good kickoff classics, meeting somebody from across the country and playing in these great venues.”
As for Georgia-Florida, he said “we both give up a lot. They give up the opportunity to have one of their greatest recruiting days and we give up our opportunity to have one of our best recruiting days. If that averages one player a year, that’s four or five good players. That’s tough where every other team we compete against, they get the opportunity to bring recruits. We don’t get the opportunity to bring recruits to this game. It’s a disadvantage when you’re talking about against a Tennessee or an Auburn or somebody who gets the extra home games.”
To all those who think this game is some sort of any type of "advantage" for UGA our coach's statements should clear up that myth. Especially when it comes to recruiting. Even McGarity admits the only real reason the game is there is because "some folks (a minority) have plans." He also states money but I believe that's bullshit as it evens out over time for any home-and-home scenario. Sooo, if we're really all-in and we're really serious about consistently being in the Natty hunt shouldn't we do anything required to obtain those goals? Like listening to the best recruiter we've ever had?
