Good for them!!!! That's why it's called "marketing"

I really don't want the App vs GS game to be on rivalry weekend. Yes it is already a rivalry game, but I don't I feel in the long term we don't want it at the end of the year.
1. The weather in Boone gives a HUGE advantage to App that time of year. Also, I hope we continue to play in mid-late Oct. A much nicer time of year to visit Boone.
2. Since it is already a rival game, no need to hype it up even more with a "special date"
3. I truly believe in the long term GaSt and GS should be on that weekend. Establish early on and in the future it'll be a huge game in ATL and the boro with massive support from the visiting team's fans. GaSt. looks like they are really progressing nicely (faster than I expected and I'm a little worried about next year's game). Also, GaSt is in-state and that is usually a hallmark for games on rivalry weekend (also with the same acronym GSU).

Basically we don't need to go to Boone at the end of November, but a game in ATL or the Boro will be great to end to the regular season for both fan bases.
