That's a wrap: Georgia ends pursuit for game to close the 2020 season
After the Vanderbilt game was called off this week, which would have been Georgia’s season and home finale, the Bulldogs looked around the country for a game to fill out its 10-game schedule.
There were possibilities from Troy to Colorado and Colorado State, and even if one team from the matchup between Ole Miss and LSU couldn’t make it to Saturday because of COVID-19 protocols, there was a thought that Georgia could step in.
Athletics Director Greg McGarity said in an announcement, “While we conducted our due diligence in finding a replacement game, we were unable to make it happen. We now focus on our upcoming Bowl game. We are also working on alternative ways to honor our senior class, who deserve the opportunity to be celebrated as one of the most prolific classes in University of Georgia history.”
The Vanderbilt at Georgia game was declared a no-contest by the SEC office.
Georgia is projected by multiple media outlets to play in a New Year’s Six bowl, likely the Peach, on Jan. 1 against Cincinnati. That will be announced on Sunday afternoon.
Only 3 true Home games in Athens plus no Senior Day ceremonies….is 2020 over yet?
Hoping here for a Clemson loss to ND again and pair them with UGA in Atlanta.
Clemson would go to the Orange.
Go Notre Dame Fighting Irish ! You did it once…How about twice ?
Can’t we give the insects a few million $
Then we could hang 70 points on them and they’ll have enough money to paint their ball field, maybe even get one of those fancy new Coca Cola scoreboards.
Would it be a handshake deal ?
Call BYU. They will play “Anyone anywhere”. I doubt they could get it together, but I would love to see that game.
Vanderbilt, you pantywaists suk.
Well then, I guess our seniors will just have to come back next year to get their proper send off, right Richey, Julian, Monty, Ben???
I’m hearing that the schools who were available were asking exorbitant $$$ for a trip to Athens, thinking McGarity was desperate enough to give the farm away. He didn’t and made this announcement. Word is that one of these schools is now discussing more reasonable compensation. Senior day may not be dead yet. We’ve had a couple of FBS thrown-together games this year in less than 48 hours.
I hope you’re right, these seniors deserve it, what a classy bunch of young men.
as much as i’d like to believe what you’re saying, it suggests that mcgarity is savvy and working an angle. unfortunately, nothing in his history at uga supports such
Well that’s disappointing
Here’s hoping that Sankey will show Vandy the door out of the SEC. They would not even be competitive in the ACC now. All they are doing is ca$hing those big SEC annual check$…spending nothing on facilities, etc.
Yeah. They cancel with us, play to get their senior day in, then cancel with us again. They need to be spanked hard for that cr@p.
Don’t think Cincinnati wants any of the bulldogs! Now Clemson and Georgia would be a game worth watching!
Cincy is playing in their CCG.
Can we at least get a forfeit from the quitters at Vandy, so this will go on record as a win?
Vanderbilt should never been allowed to play last week. What is hilarious, is with a female kicker, offensive players moving to defense and 49 total players, they were beating Tennessee in the 2nd quarter.
