Clemson and UGA add games to series
https://clemsontigers.com/clemson-georgi...2032-2033/
Quote:Clemson announced today that it has added an additional home-and-home series against Georgia to its schedules for the 2032 and 2033 football seasons. Clemson will face the Bulldogs in Athens, Ga., on Sept. 4, 2032, and Georgia will travel to Death Valley for a non-conference contest on Sept. 3, 2033.
In August, the two programs announced that they will face one another in the 2024 Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game in Atlanta. In November, the teams added a home-and-home series that features a game in Clemson in 2029 and one in Georgia in 2030. The additional home-and-home series announced today now results in five scheduled contests between the two historic geographical rivals between 2024 and 2033.
Quote:The scheduling of this rivalry in non-conference play is part of Clemson’s philosophy of supplementing its annual rivalry game against the University of South Carolina with additional non-conference contests against premier opponents. Clemson’s schedule in recent and future years has featured home-and-home series with Georgia (2013-14, 2029-30 and 2032-33), Auburn (2016-17), Texas A&M (2018-19), LSU (2025-26) and Oklahoma (2035-36) as well as eight scheduled contests with Notre Dame from 2020 through 2037.
“The resumption of this storied rivalry has been a high priority for our athletic department and our fans,” Director of Athletics Dan Radakovich said. “We look forward to all five scheduled meetings between these two great programs, including the meeting in Mercedes-Benz Stadium in 2024 and the four on-campus games starting in 2029.”

RE: Clemson and UGA add games to series
That's great news. It would be greater if it could happen more often, or at least a little sooner. My great hope is that I'm still alive and kicking by 2032 to watch it.

Awesome. Clemson really does fit with USC/Georgia/Auburn.

Not any more. Late 80's you would have been right.
But UGA>The entire ACC

RE: Clemson and UGA add games to series
Games scheduled through 2036?
That's pretty extreme. (the ND is 2037, but that is part of the ACC rotation, so that's not the same as scheduling OU 17 years out).

Yeah. No way that's the case anymore.
It's a great series though.
