2006 Opener

During the weekly Sunday night teleconference, Richt stated that Georgia had found an opponent for the Opening game of the 2006 season. There was no mention of who it will be or when they will announce it. It will be a BCS school though. The rumors have already began and the most popular seems to be Texas A&M. I'm not sure why other than they have an open slot the 1st weekend of the year. A long with that rumor was the idea that it might be played on a Thursday night at a neutral site. ESPN is looking for a Thursday night opener and both teams schedules are pretty set for the next couple of years which would make scheduling a home and home more difficult. These are only rumors and there are still a hand full of teams looking for an opener. But with the season being the way it is, its something to talk about.
