Re: App playing Georgia in 2017
The Georgia game has been, it's the UTenn game that hasn't. I'm guessing it will post before the weekend.

It's nowhere on Appstatesports.com still. I believe it's happening, just find it interesting that there's no article and it's not listed on the future schedules.

Re: App playing Georgia in 2017
I just throwing this out here but there is a lot going on in the Dept right now and with all that has been on the front burner my guess is that some things have been placed on the back. Just putting this out also but word is that Jay Sutton has left the Dept and University. Could have a little to do with why some things aren't confirmed and released to SID yet.BUTCH1991 wrote:It's nowhere on Appstatesports.com still.

The UGA info came from a very reliable source from the net and that's why I started the thread and put the posts in the OP. The official athletics page at Ga hasn't said anything yet but many others have. Plus these schools, especially the P5's, don't say a whole lot about future schedules since so much can change with the TV networks involved and other schools trying to work deals. I have a feeling this is the same situation with the UT deal and another big one that could be coming up.
I'll let everyone know what I can as I can and I'm sure some others on here will also.

007 I do not disagree but for the time being....the $1M....all but equals the Salaries for our top 3 head coaches and AD....appstate2007 wrote:While it is true that playing those top-name teams will bring in that 1 Million dollar payday. I would think that we could get a game against a lower tier SEC team (Miss St, Vandy, Kentucky) and get 750,000 or more and these games would be better quality games for App to play and have a decent chance of winning. In the future I hope we get more lower tier P5 teams and higher tier home and home series with Go5 teams. Example of a schedule would be
at Kentucky
vs. Marshall (home and home)
at ECU (Home and home)
vs. FCS school
That is why it makes sense until we can generate more $ through Yosef and corp.
I want to win....but it is going to take $ to win and we are running this thing on a tight budget right now....these games really help.
Go APPS!

I figured it was a done deal based on the different sources reporting and now that you're reporting the UT game, I feel better about it being accurate. Not that I know you at all, but I can tell your sources are pretty accurate. Hate to hear about Sutton leaving. He was one of our own. Thanks for the info Moose, would love to know what's next on the horizon, but I'm sure you'll let us know when it's reliable.
