Discussions are being held about the possibility of the Jackets and the Dawgs playing in the Georgia Dome during the opening weekend of the 2011 season. This is a terrible idea for a few reasons.
1. The game would lose its significance being played during the first week.
2. Both Tech and UGA would have to find replacement games for the last week of the season. These games would likely be against lower-tier FBS teams or FCS teams.
3. Neither team would be able to schedule a good out-of-conference game to start the season.
I have a feeling that both fan bases will be vehemently against this, so I doubt it will come to fruition.

It would only be for one year, 2011, as a neutral site game. 2012, Tech would play at home again I am totally against it, but the Tech administration is thinking about it because our home schedules are really good on the odd years, and really bad on the even years. This would help even that out by pushing the UGA game back a year. I doubt UGA will even consider it, mostly because they open with Louisville that year, and would have a hard time getting out of that.
I hope it happens.
Tech +3 is a lock this weekend.
Reported in the ajc today that this will not be happening.
