For the betterment of Auburn football, it’s time to make a sacrifice.
At some point in the coming years, Auburn needs to play at Sanford Stadium in Athens, Ga., two years in a row. That won’t be well received when it arrives, but in the long-term, it makes sense. Georgia did it for us (in 2012 and ’13, the Bulldogs and Tigers split back-to-back games in Jordan-Hare Stadium), so why shouldn’t Auburn repay the favor?
When I was a student at Auburn, the Tigers played Georgia at Jordan-Hare Stadium in three out of my four years because SEC expansion threw a wrench at everyone’s schedules (DawgNation’s Chip Towers provides a good explanation of the Auburn/Georgia scheduling issue here).
