Now THAT would be just plain stupid.

Whaddya want, a crowd at The Joe or places to shop? Hell, the Tech students/employees can't be at both places, cuz the shop owners are buying up all those seats in the SEZ . . . .:laugh:

I'm sure the new mayor and the local chamber/visitors bureau will aggressively work the conflicts so both may occur.

No way Tech can afford to pay out $350,000 of that regardless of who it is. I think if one digs deeply into the fine print you may find a return game.

LOL, we won't be playing at Southern.

Playing an FCS team every year won't keep us out of an access Bowl. We simply have to play 1 to 2 P5 teams every seaon. A 11-2 Boise beat out Marshall not because of an FCS game but because they didn't play any P5. You won't have to worry about Tech being left out of an Access Bowl due to scheduling. We always play a couple P5s

Interesting that the most recent Sagarin Rankings have us ranked 1) Marshall 2) Tech 3) Boise at the top of all non Power 5 teams.

The two nonconference games will generate $1 million in revenue for Southern. The game at Georgia comes with a $650,000 guarantee and the game at Louisiana Tech comes with a $350,000 guarantee.

Just because The Advocate reported it? Really?

Put your money where your mouth is. Loser owes LTAC money .

But we'll get to keep the lion's share of concessions:\

How do you know they are not thriving? Speaking as a self employed business owner, I assume that if the Owner feels he can afford to shut it down he must be doing pretty well.

I know this, when i make the decision to shut down for holidays or vacation i could care less what business i may lose.

I need (and deserve) a break!

So you are saying we will pay them $350K in cash to play here? That's what "guarantee" implies.

SWAC. Where a football game may break out during a band competition.
