Finances of Neutral Site Games

They have no choice. Don't forget Penn State. They come too. Only OSU regularly wins there, but they beat everybody, everywhere, so...

Nits haven't been there since 2013, but I shouldn't forget

[847badgerfan]

Yep, and they won in unexpected fashion. Looked like the team just quit that day.

[FearlessF]

are they coming back soon?

[ALA2262]

We can hope!

You don't want to play UGA in Atlanta. Three of the toughest games Saban has had while at Bama were the 2012 and 2018 SECCGs and the 2018 CFPNCG against UGA. Bama won all three but just as easily could have lost all three. NM that Bama has won the last five games against UGA. ALL played in Athens or Atlanta.

So, you don't want to play UGA because your team is 5-0 against them?

[847badgerfan]

are they coming back soon?

2021. Opening game on Labor Day weekend. That's another story.. that sucks.

I rather enjoyed our most recent tilt with UGA.  Looking forward to the home-and-home series in a few years, too!

It's a shame that helmet schools are too pussy to come to Madison.

Where has UW played south of the border in non-bowl games?

The most recent tilt was on a basketball court.

The argument appears to be that no southern team will travel to Madison, for whatever reason.  I'm unconvinced that is the case, as some southern teams have scheduled other programs that appear no different to me than UW.
And UW did play LSU in Texas in that weird series that was not H&A.

Against LSU in Texas.

I know this isn't what you're thinking, but in the Alvarez era ('90 to present): at North Carolina, at Miami, at Arizona, at Arizona State, at Stanford, at Washington, at Colorado, at Syracuse, at Fresno State, at West Virginia, at SMU (in the SWC days), upcoming at Virginia Tech, at UCLA.

The Badgers are willing to travel to play good opponents, but they won't play just anyone--there has to be a reason for it. And, as Badge suggests, they have traditionally run into problems with teams' willingness to come to Madison. My recollection is that they were close with Texas a few years back, but the Horns backed out.

[Cincydawg]

That's somewhat akin to my claim that UGA had a series slated with Ohio State and OSU backed out.

And it's true of course, but the reasons go deeper than that simple statement.

I see no reason that at least some southern teams would not go to Madison, none, if the scheduling worked out.  The more likely explanation is that scheduling has been tough to organize.

[SFBadger96]

Are you suggesting it's more complicated than our populist screed!?! For shame!
