Georgia to open 2019 football season at Vandy

The Georgia Bulldogs will begin the 2019 football season on August 31 in Nashville against the Vanderbilt Commodores. They will end the regular season campaign with a rough stretch of physics football games certain to test the Red and Black’s depth.

A few early thoughts:

There had been some speculation that Georgia and Vandy would play their game on a Thursday night. I’m not against Thursday night games per se, but if we’re going to play one I want it to be coming off a bye and before a game in which two extra days gives us a needed advantage. Maybe some other time.

Arkansas State still has the looks of a sneaky tough warm up for Notre Dame to me.

Byes before Tennessee and Florida? I’ll take it. I suspect the Vols and Gators will each be better in year two under their respective new staffs.

That November looks challenging. I never take the Cocktail Party lightly. Playing at Auburn is never easy (well, rarely). I expect Jimbo will have Texas A&M headed in the right direction, and I never relish playing the Trade School coming off four physical conference games in a row.

This is as good a home schedule as you should expect to see as a Bulldog fan. Other than Murray State there's not a game in there that you shouldn't be a little excited to see. The Notre Dame/A&M two game set should be worth your Hartman Fund donation alone.

Feel free to include your thoughts on the 2019 slate in the comments, and...

Go ‘Dawgs!!!
