2nd sellout crowd in the first 4 home games of the year.

Not bad. Not bad at all.

Should be a good matchup, I picked CCU by a TD but this could go either way

How does Miami (OH) @ Buffalo get moved to ESPNU, and this game is stuck on ESPN+?

TICKETS ARE SOLD OUT

Was Army a sellout too?

Yep. Second sell out of the year.

Are there any updates to start times? Just wondering if they will push it back to avoid the weather.
I'm thinking this will be a close game and come down to just one or two key plays. Like a turnover or a busted coverage going for a TD.

Really hoping Helton can bring the MOJO back and we start seeing over 20k and maybe a sellout or 2 at Paulson.

If it comes down to busted coverage, then I can tell you exactly who will be on the losing end of that.

Winning will always help... It would also help if UGA dropped a game and some of our students recognize that they have a good team - for free - in their backyard (No jokes. Every one of you other guys has the same issue).

Getting better weather would be great as well. Ball State was damn near perfect, but that's been more of an exception than a rule for the last few years in Statesboro.

IMO, the real culprit is GS's marketing and ticketing departments. The former has no budget and minimal staffing while the latter hasn't done much in the way of having innovative ideas.

As always, a huge issue for attendance is that the majority of our biggest fans - and a lot of our students who might want to go home for the weekend - are in ATL and that the drive to Statesboro has gone from a little over three hours a decade ago to over four due to more and more sprawl.

Not making excuses. If anything, that's all the more reason to invest in marketing. Statesboro is surrounded by rural counties that have decent populations, but anyone who didn't go to GS is pretty far in the bag for UGA. But with Savannah expanding and bringing in transplants and the army base south of town always bringing in new people, GS really needs to push hard to recruit new fans within an hour's drive of Paulson.

As of right now, Saturday's hourly forecast looks to have little to no chance of rain for just about the whole day. Looks to be great weather.

Apparently, we tried to reschedule to Sunday for travel/lodging reasons and were denied.

I mean it will be out of here by the time most teams arrive the day before. Only real question is, will MYR be open or not? GS might be flying into ILM and busing down.

Looks like the team might be forced to take the bus up and back for this game all on the same day.

We were likely trying to avoid all of that by asking to move it to Sunday. But oh well.

Oh man, look who took a hard stance on rescheduling a game due to factors out of their control all of a sudden.
