Georgia in Discussions with Oregon for Football Series

The Athens Banner-Herald is reporting that UGA is in discussions with Oregon about a possible home and home series starting in 2014.

This comes on the heels of Oregon Coach Mike Bellotti apparently mentioning Georgia as a possible opponent for the Ducks in the future during the telecast of the Oregon Spring Game. There were several mentions of this discussion on Oregon message boards.

UGA assistant AD and scheduling guru Arthur Johnson told the ABH:
The home-and-home games with the Pac-10 school wouldn't come before 2014 and no contract has yet been signed.

"Hopefully, we'll get something finalized, but my main concern now is 2007," Johnson said Wednesday.
Oregon doesn't sit at the top of my wish list, but I would love to go there.

I've heard (unconfirmed) that their indoor practice facility (IPF) sits next to the football stadium, and that during games they convert the facility into a beer garden giving fans pass in and pass out privileges. Are there are any Duck fans out there that can confirm or deny this? Interesting if true.
