I thought home and home meant the team didn't travel to their opponents stadium or a neutral stadium.   For example: A home and home for Michigan vs Youngstown would be 2 games in AA and zero in Youngstown.

We never hear of an "away and away series".

How come the season always passes by so fast and the offseason takes so long?

Well, probably because the season is a little more than 3 months while the offseason is a little less than 9 months.

So, whatchu gonna do to pass the time in the offseason?
My theory is that any event which we anticipate highly will appear to take a long time to happen, while something we forget about rushes us on like a train.
Human perception.  As kids, we all anticipated Christmas, and it took forever to arrive.  As parents, we all somewhat dreaded Christmas in a sense and tried to ignore that it was only 144 days away and we had not done any shopping.

true... we never hear it phrased that way...  Probably because it's an FCS school... normally.   I'm sure the SEC has played a DivII team now and then.  heh...

The pastry games are usually not a series though, just one and here is your check, thanks.

I think Vandy may have done a 2 and  1 with Michigan or somebody else.

true as well...   but they do happen.  I've usually heard this discussion from the point of view of a University or fans.  A third party certainly could say a home and home series.   Just not my personal norm or how I've heard it discussed.

This was the UGA announcement on scheduling, note the "home and home" phraseology:

ATHENS, Ga. -- Georgia has officially scheduled a pair of marquee home-and-home matchups. Georgia announced on Monday that they will have a home-and-home matchup with Texas in 2028 and 2029. The Bulldogs will have a two-game series with Clemson in 2029 and 2030. 

The Bulldogs are set to travel to Austin, Tex. in 2028 before hosting the Longhorns in 2029. Clemson will take host UGA in Death Valley in 2029 and travel to Athens in 2030, per the announcement.

That sets up for quite the challenging slate for UGA in 2029. The Bulldogs will have three Power Five matchups that season, taking on Georgia Tech and Clemson on the road and Texas at home. Georgia is also set to take on Clemson in the Chick-Fil-A Kickoff game in Mercedez-Benz Stadium to kickoff the 2024 season.

Cincy, would you rather UGA replace the annual game with Tech and instead do it with Clemson?  Wouldn't that be something??



Tech could play USCe in the Red-Headed Stepchild Classic.

My desire it to play two interesting OOC games a year, plus 8 conference games.  Tech is no longer interesting, to me, at all.

I'd rather play Texas and Ohio State and lose both than play Tech and three pastries and win 4.

You didn't really answer the question.

Even though I've been going to the gym on this ship almost every day, I'm gonna have a lot of work to do before I head to Cabo in January. I can feel it already and we've got another week on this thing. Damn, the food is awesome. And the drinks. Lots and lots of drinks.
Glad to hear it man! Good for you.

The term "home and home" would seem to match exactly with "away and away", which of course does make much sense that they would.

"Home and away" to me is more accurate than "home and home".  "Away and away" would seem of course like playing two games as visitors.

Anyway, I am often confused by small things.

I think I've heard "home and home" when it's a joint release, when a fan or a school, would say it solely from their perspective.  So I think a lot of times these announcement do call it a home and home series.  But as a fan youd say home and away.
