In my opinion, attending a home game as a recruit is more impressive than going to the Party. If it's not, there's another problem.
If my only view of UGA football derived from a game in Jacksonville, I'd probably demur. Athens is widely regarded as one of the top college towns for good reason.
It's unlikely, of course, that any major recruit would attend only that one game in Jacksonville, and not ever visit the actual campus.
But if, due to scheduling limitations, it's a choice between getting a visit in Jacksonville, or not getting one at all, then I'd think getting the visit ANYwhere would be better than nothing.
As I said before, if Georgia fans value the neutral site game, they should rebut the arguments of their head coach. If they don't, then who cares, anyway?
For Texas and OU, the neutral site game is highly cherished by both the fans, and by the coaches, as a valuable recruiting tool. It's a no-brainer. But if Georgia and/or Florida fans don't really care all that much then it could go to home-and-home and resolve the issue easily.
