Chick Fillet Kickoff Classic Should Try a "Doubleheader"

A few years ago, Chick Fillet, the ACC and the SEC got together to start a tradition at the beginning of the College Football season, the chick Fillet Kickoff Classic. The game, like the Chick Fillet Bowl at the end of the season, features teams from the SEC and the ACC.

The first Kickoff Classic game was two years ago and featured Alabama against Clemson, in which Alabama won. A year ago, Alabama appeared in the game again. This time, it was against Virginia Tech. The Tide won that game as well, and it was the beginning of what would culminate in a National Title for the Crimson Tide. The 2010 Chick Fillet Kickoff Classic will feature LSU against North Carolina.

However, there are rumors of bringing in teams from outside the ACC and SEC. There was talk yesterday on an Atlanta sports station, 680 The Fan, to have Georgia play teams like Texas, Oklahoma or USC in the Kickoff Classic. I like the idea. I would love to see the Bulldogs play someone like Texas or Ohio St.. It doesn't matter to me if they lose. They took the risk. Georgia is also capable of wining games like these.

But I have an even better idea. How about a doubleheader? Georgia Tech could play Texas at 2 pm that afternoon followed By Georgia against USC at 8pm. There should be enough time after the completion of the first game to get ready for the second game. They could sell the "cheap" tickets for $50. The ticket would be good for both games. Lower level prices would go for as high as $150. This might be feasible. Georgia and Georgia Tech competing against the top teams in the country. The Atlanta Sports Council could bring even more money into the city with 4 teams involved. That's my opinion, and I would welcome yours.
