Neutral Site Games

[Uman5]

I don't like them. Grow a pair and play your foe in their house.

I know, it's all about the money. The TAMU/Ark game not close to a sell out, yet they routinely put 100k n the stands at home.

 

[OregonDucks]

yeah i agree. like how LSU had a "neutral" site game this year against us. basically in their backyard. Grow a pair and schedule a home-home.

Great game. Would be better if you two had the cajones to play it as a home-and-home.

OU would destroy the series if it was home-home. It is extremely hard to win in Norman and Austin doesn't get wild at the games.

It doesn't get "wild" in Norman either.

 

[GunsUp_ShootinBlanks]

Fair enough.

I heard it was pretty fucking "wild" when Tech went up there in 08

I went to the UF-UGA game probably 3 or 4 times and it's a blast.

It has the feeling of both a home and an away game. It's hard to beat the atmosphere of a neutral game with two great teams.

When did Georgia become a great team.

They were pretty good when I went to the games. or at least you could say they were expected to be good.

We like the money we get from the alleged neutral sites

 

[HighTide]

Money isn't the only reason why teams are scheduling neutral site games...

Also, neutral site games are awesome.

Well of course you don't like them.

You're AD was dumb enough to agree to a "neutral" site game at Soldier Field against us.

And I've always liked them. Nice way to play in Philly/DC/Chicago/NYC since you can't exactly schedule the local school.

I would have much rather gone into South Bend. But I will go to the Chicago game.

If you do it right and they fan base is committed, they are the greatest.

Norman To Dallas - 171 miles

Austin to Dallas - 181 miles

Even in a year where one or the other team is down, the statdium is still 50 OU, 50 UT. Never has it been more or less, at least in my lifetime.

Its the ulitmate neutral site game. Nothing bigger or better.

Ya'll also get the added bonus of the state fair before and after the game.

Exactly so it makes it not only a draw for ticket holders but a draw for people from the surrounding 300+ mile radius to merge on the DFW metro and mingle and create basicly a festivle of drinking, food, family entertainment and football just leave the kids at the hotel friday night cause west end is no place for the kiddies. :roll:

I have no problem with neutral site games as long as they really are neutral sites. Nothing like USC versus Florida in a non-USC California stadium.

terrible example, Florida never leaves the state of Florida for an OOC game

not since they got embarrassed by Syracuse.
