Oregon State may play in Georgia next season

A story from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution over the weekend coroborates an internet rumor that OSU was scheduling Georgia in some sort of home at home series. It appears it will be a 2 for 1 with the date pretty spread out.

No deal has been signed, but as it stands on paper the Beavers would come to Sanford Stadium for the 2007 opener, then return in 2017. Georgia would make the trip to Corvallis, Ore., in 2011. The Bulldogs have never played a regular-season game that far from home.

"For us, the chance to get a two-for-one [two home games, one away] is huge," Johnson said. "And for them, obviously the chance to have Georgia play in Corvallis is big."


Sounds good to me. I'd rather spread it out a bit so that the 2 for 1 doesn't hurt so much in the W/L category. No need to be playing a #1 team each year when the Pac-10 is strong.
