Clemson schedules two more games with Georgia

Clemson announced today that it has added an additional home-and-home series against Georgia to its schedules for the 2032 and 2033 football seasons. Clemson will face the Bulldogs in Athens, Ga., on Sept. 4, 2032, and Georgia will travel to Death Valley for a non-conference contest on Sept. 3, 2033.

In August, the two programs announced that they will face one another in the 2024 Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game in Atlanta. In November, the teams added a home-and-home series that features a game in Clemson in 2029 and one in Georgia in 2030. The additional home-and-home series announced today now results in five scheduled contests between the two historic geographical rivals between 2024 and 2033.



The scheduling of this rivalry in non-conference play is part of Clemson's philosophy of supplementing its annual rivalry game against the University of South Carolina with additional non-conference contests against premier opponents. Clemson's schedule in recent and future years has featured home-and-home series with Georgia (2013-14, 2029-30 and 2032-33), Auburn (2016-17), Texas A&M (2018-19), LSU (2025-26) and Oklahoma (2035-36) as well as eight scheduled contests with Notre Dame from 2020 through 2037.

"The resumption of this storied rivalry has been a high priority for our athletic department and our fans," Director of Athletics Dan Radakovich said. "We look forward to all five scheduled meetings between these two great programs, including the meeting in Mercedes-Benz Stadium in 2024 and the four on-campus games starting in 2029."

UGA will have played Clemson more often than they'll have played vs almost half the SEC.

UGA also has scheduled a H&H with FlaSt in '27 & 28, according to an article on espn.

From the year 2012 (1st season for Mizzu in the SEC) thru the end of the 2023 season, LSU and Missouri will have played twice!
That's fucked up right there!

If it were deemed important enough for them they could have done what UNC and Wake are doing this season: playing each other in a non-conference game.

It's pretty fvcked up when you have to schedule a fellow conference member in an OOC game just in order to play them. The SEC & ACC are what we call a pseudo conference ... that means they are conferences in name only. It's not like they actually play each other.

Conferences have been that way since the beginning of time. The precursors to both the ACC and SEC (the SIAA and Southern Conference) were so large that you had teams that never played.

We've covered many, many, many times why the SEC and ACC only play eight conference games. Time to quit beating that petrified horse. If there was some sort of benefit behind a nine game schedule then we'd be playing one. Since there isn't we aren't. Rest assured those of us in Clemson and Athens are sure as hell happier to see this series on the schedule than Clemson vs UVA or Georgia vs Arkansas.

2 good colleges here, let's hope they're still this good at football by that time.

Both are chicken shit to not play every single season. Never could figure out why the killed this in '88.

The SEC expanded by adding Arkansas and Columbia Junior College and went from seven to eight conference games. Neither program wanted to lock down their entire OOC with each other and the annual game against little brother.

 

[Rod Freakin' Dangerfield]

Neither the SEC nor ACC had expanded a lick when UGa & Tillman stopped their annual games. Look it up, dipshit.

Clemson didn't play UGA in 1988 and 1989 because they played a home and home with FSU moron. The series picked back up in 1990 and 1991 then ended in 1992 when the SEC and ACC expanded the conference slate to eight games.

You proved me correct, idiot.

Yes, we were so scared to play Georgia we scheduled a series with a better program in FSU.

You are a great example of why you have to keep your windows rolled up when you ride down Assembly Street. So that when South Carolina College throws the diploma at you it doesn't put your eye out.

 

[Chewbaccer]

I hate it they're all so far away, but I do look forward to them.

Should be played every year.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Georgia's got some loaded OOC schedules in the 2020's

 

[OldDevilDawg]

I say we shitcan South Carolina and steal Clemson to the SEC. The entire CFB world loses when UGA doesn't play Clemson every damn year like they did for the first half of my life.

As I've said many times, let's just trade.

We'll play y'all every year and Tech and the Coots can play in the Little Brother Bowl.

Or when they are good teams, they will play each other in the championships.

Alabama has played Georgia 5 times over the past 10 years(and won all 5). But your dipshit ass will only ever count 2 of them.

Go cry about your own team losing to whatever crappy team it was you lost to last. I can't imagine ever being such a bitch as to complain about who Auburn plays.
