2007 Opener Announced: Almost Famous

Breaking news on the Dawgs' 2007 season opener: Georgia will play Stillwater's Oklahoma State Golden Gods Cowboys in Athens, followed by a return trip in 2009 to the cowtown named after the fictitious band in Almost Famous.

They're not cheerleaders, they're Band Aids.

PWD: Update...
SicemDawgs.com has the unofficial 2007 Schedule up. He just hasn't updated it yet with the OKSU game as the home opener. It's important to note that Damon and the gang managed to keep an Open Date before UF in all of this. Big home games that year are OK State, South Carolina and Auburn. Any year that we have three quality games like that is a good schedule. Also, as ESPN is our TV partner on this one, it's very likely a night game. GATA!

SicemDawgs also has the unofficial 2009 schedule up (without the OSU game). According to SicEm, we had originally scheduled Appy State as our opener in 2009. Maybe that's an error, or maybe it means we're dropping a Div I-AA team! Or maybe it just means we're going to fill the week before ASU with a different Div I-AA team. Regardless, the 2009 home schedule looks awesome with games against Arizona State, LSU, Auburn and South Carolina.

For those worrying about overscheduling...
Oklahoma State and Arizona State are basically the South Carolina Gamecocks of their respective conferences. Other than the Jake Plummer and Barry Sanders years, they're usually good for a 5-7 wins with an occassional 9 win season. It's the perfect non-conference match-up.

KUDOS to the Athletic Department for giving us some solid games. -- PWD
