Georgia pays big bucks for cupcake
Georgia will pay North Texas $975,000 to open the 2013 football season in Sanford Stadium -- the most UGA has ever guaranteed a visiting team and the latest example of the rising cost of scheduling anticipated easy victories. The price surpasses the $925,000 Georgia will pay New Mexico State for a Nov. 5, 2011, game in Sanford Stadium. Louisiana-Lafayette will get $875,000 for coming to Athens for a Sept. 4, 2010, game.

North Texas isn't a "cupcake" when compared to some of Georgia's other opponents the past few years. At least North Texas is a Division 1A school, unlike GA Southern and Western Carolina.

North Texas has defeated an SEC team on their home field. Cupcake? Or coiled coral snake? Georgia better be prepared.

Not a cupcake? They were 1-11 last year, 0-7 in the freakin' Sun Belt Conference. I think their win was against one of the Denton area junior high schools. Does the Georgia score board accommodate three-digit scores?

svtjer, come on - at least let the UGa thread stay a UGa thread for more than 10 posts before you whack UF about scheduling. Restraint, my man, restraint.

I think Ohio State and Oklahoma must be making the southern rounds. We play Oklahoma (home and home) in 2 or 3 years, then Ohio State after that.

I like it. We'll go anywhere, promise to lose, for like $500,000 or something. We need to come up with an institutional name. Would CM let us use Shrunken Head Institute of Texas?
