The ACC's football schedule for next year has been released. Obviously, that means Georgia Tech's schedule for 2007 is also out.
The ACC's schedule brings good news for Georgia Bulldog fans who are hoping for a night game vs. Oklahoma State to open the season. The ACC's schedule shows no overly compelling games that will be televised on ESPN, ESPN2 or ABC for Sept. 1; therefore, ESPN and ESPN2 still have inventory for the season opener at night.
ACC Schedule for Sept. 1:
- Wake Forest at Boston College
Connecticut at Duke
Georgia Tech at Notre Dame (NBC)
Villanova at Maryland
Marshall at Miami
James Madison at North Carolina
Central Florida at NC State
Virginia at Wyoming
East Carolina at Virginia Tech
GT's Schedule for 2007:
- Sep. 1 at Notre Dame (NBC)
Sep. 8 SAMFORD
Sep. 15 BOSTON COLLEGE
Sep. 22 at Virginia
Sep. 29 CLEMSON
Oct. 6 at Maryland
Oct. 13 at Miami
Oct. 20 ARMY (Bobby Ross returns to BDS)
Nov. 1 VIRGINIA TECH (Thursday, ESPN)
Nov. 10 at Duke
Nov. 17 NORTH CAROLINA
Nov. 24 GEORGIA

We're shooting for 'one for the index'. Just think, if we actually go a decade without losing to GT, we'll end it at home. That'll be sweet. Stomping the jackets at home for the 10th consecutive win.
On another subject, has anyone looked into Georgia being able to schedule Florida State at any point in the future? I know they're down now, but I really think that'd be an interesting game we could pull off, and would help our profile. Just came to me while looking at the ACC schedule.
Sep. 1 at Notre Dame....W(ND is going to really suck this year)

Sep. 15 BOSTON COLLEGE....L
Sep. 22 at Virginia.....L
Sep. 29 CLEMSON.......L
Oct. 6 at Maryland.....W

Thats 6-6. GT will still be outstanding on defense this year. On offense, that will be a different story. No Calvin and They'll either start a true FR QB or a QB that Reggie Ball beat out. Should we forfeit now??
we have already won 6 in a row over GT. We're shooting for "one for the bird."
As for FSU...the rumor is that we won't schedule another regional occ team other than clemson for a long, long, long time.
And CMR has said he won't play FSU as long as bowden is there except in a bowl.
Not that I care, but why is Alabama-FSU in Jacksonville?
Bowden wanted to play Bama before he retires. They agreed to a one time neutral site game.
That's where they picked.
Bama is considering doing a series of neutral site games like the old Notre Dame "barn storming" routine.
Good call.
I wouldn't count on Virginia and Miami as losses for the Techies -- UVA and UM just had horrific seasons and are still going to be in recovery mode heading into next year (even though GT's record in Charlottesville and Coral Gables is less than spectacular). But I wouldn't give them an automatic W against Maryland, either -- not against the Fridge, in College Park.
So that's 7-5, and with Gailey's contractually obligated 5 losses already on the books, they might even win their bowl game.
The question of the '07 Jackets is thus:
Does the positive loss of Game Ball outweigh the negative loss of Humanity Advanced? It's a coinflip if you ask me.
Looks like we'll have to but Samford and Army to get the Georgia ticket in the "mini-packs".
