A little birdie showed me this article.....which I appreciate.

Associated Press
ATHENS, Ga. -- For the first time in almost 50 years, Georgia's football
team has scheduled a road trip to a Pac-10 school.

Georgia athletic director Damon Evans, holding firm to a public commitment
to bring a national presence to the Bulldogs' schedule, announced Wednesday
a home-and-home series with Arizona State in 2008 and 2009. This will be the
first time the teams have played.

Georgia will play the Sun Devils in Tempe, Ariz., on September 20th, 2008.
Arizona State will visit Athens on September 16th, 2009.

Georgia last played at a Pac-10 school in the 1960 season, when quarterback
Fran Tarkenton and the Bulldogs lost at USC 10-3.

Evans said he believed it was an attractive intersectional game.

Georgia played host to Oregon State of the Pac-Ten in 1987, taking a 41-7
win in Athens.

Arizona State's AD Gene Smith called the series with Georgia "an intriguing
matchup between institutions from major conferences."

Last week, Georgia announced it will play its 2005 season opener at home
against Boise State. The Bulldogs did not schedule a return trip to Idaho.

I would like to hear from UGA fans here.

This year Georgia Southern is the first OOC opponent UGA plays. Last year Middle Tenn. St. was the first OOC opponent UGA played. 2 years ago Northwestern St. was the first OOC opponent UGA played. 3 years ago Arkansas State was the 1st OOC opponent UGA played. GEORGIA fans have got to be excited to play a quality OOC opponent! Right? Should be exciting. UGA without a doubt should be at least a top 7 program when these 2 teams meet. I think ASU should be strong too (not nearly as strong as UGA). Koeter is a young exciting head coach. Remember, he was the reason for Boise St. success! I look forward to the 2 teams meeting. Remember ASU upset top ranked Nebraska when they played in Tempe!!!! This is what makes college football great is when teams from BCS conferences play each other. At least I enjoy it! So what if you lose, then you obviously are not the best team and don't deserve to be ranked.

Last week, Georgia announced it will play its 2005 season opener at home against Boise State. The Bulldogs did not schedule a return trip to Idaho.

Too bad. I would lay some cas$h on Boise St. +pts vs UGA @Boise. I noticed Oregon St. is willing to play @Boise St. and the week after playing @LSU.

I also noticed that Arizona St. also has a series with LSU coming up. ASU scheduling the 2 best teams in the SEC! Way to go ASU!!!!! :spotting:

Thanks for the article Blackman

EDIT: I made an error, UGA played Clemson for 1st OOC game last year.
