Miami & Florida have been playing an early season weekend series for years. Clemson and South Carolina just recently moved to the same format. I like the way Clemson & USCe do it. One game on each campus and then one at a neutral site over the course of the weekend.
FSU and Florida still do it the way Tech & the Cesspool do. Same for UofL and Kentucky.
The game at The Ted for the children's hospital is a huge money-raiser and I don't know if it will do nearly as well in cooler weather early in the season while March Madness is going on. The home games in April on each program's home fields are good gate games and I doubt they draw as much in March as well. But, you never know.
Otherwise, I completely agree. Side note, I think the MBB series was gaining momentum on a national scene until that cheater, Dooley, decided to move it away from Atlanta because Cremins was kicking their ass 3 out of every 4 years.
I can understand Tech having some limitations in competing for national titles in FB, though I don't wallow in the excuses like some others constantly do. (note, we've won a national title more recently than the Cesspool) What I don't understand is the other male sports really should be competing for national titles like they do at UVA, UNC, etc. Though in a bit of a lull the last few years, women's sports at Tech have come light years from where we were at the turn of the century. Still interesting to me, yet sad, that Tech's ONLY NCAA title is in a women's program.
