Yeah, seems to me the easiest thing for Georgia State would have been taking on Maine (UCF's opponent) and maybe getting a win. I'm sure they'll manage to eek one out at some point this year, but losing to Tennessee State is pretty rough.

Then rescheduling Memphis for a future year, and then maybe getting UCF to agree to a 1-1. That seems like a win-win for all parties, but Georgia State decided to be petulant it seems.

Best thing now is to leave it open and play 11. Nobody in Atlanta is coming to a game against Maine.

Your fans are supposed to come out to see Georgia State, not the opponent.

I think its's a bad look for Georgia State, while UMass clearly values their relationship with the AAC.

Likely means GA St won't be playing AAC schools in the future which is probably good for the GA St record. But this approach likely shows the difficulty GA St has with funding the FB program. After all, they don't sell many tickets & the state of GA has restricted the amount they can extort from students in activity fees - makes them look pretty desperate.

It's a press release. Good grief. It's not the Zapruder film. No hidden meaning. And the release is for our fanbase and Atlantans who were looking forward to this game. There are a lot of folks who are not diehards buying tickets out of curiosity and to see the stadium. This was one of the main games because its a close by recognizable opponent. No need to read anything else into it. As for future games with AAC opponents we don't have many Football openings and nobody wants to return a game with our MBB team anyway. But ultimately when scheduling business is business.

THAT... is funny.

Funny & annoying. I've lived in GA for 30+ yrs now after growing up in Memphis & still have a hard time finding real BBQ around ATL.

I have no idea how that's possible. Where do you live??? I can go down Moreland Avenue or Memorial Drive any weekend in the summer and find some dude with a smoker in a parking lot if I need it that bad.

I could slather ketchup on some pork ribs and sear them over a 500 degree grill for 45 minutes.... That don't make it BBQ.

You could ...but that's not what I am talking about...

People will come even if you only get a couple of thousand. Play Maine if you can or if UCF if you can and try to fill out the schedule. Georgia State already has $1.1 million dollars in their bank account for the previous cancellation.

We will know today

Silly Statement unless you're truly P5. Nobody in Georgia is coming to Maine game.

$2.3M weekend. Not bad.

1.1 or 2.3?

I know it's probably impossible at this point but if there's any way to get a 6th home game this season, I hope Georgia State will do it.

Not sure how Maine is any different from ULM or most any Sun Belt team other than Georgia Southern and maybe App State to fans in Atlanta. You build your program off of fans who are there to support your team, not to see the other team.
