“Georgia and Clemson is one of the oldest rivalries in the country. It's a natural fit and one that we are delighted has worked out in a way that suits the schedules of both schools. Some of the greatest college football games have been played between Georgia and Clemson over the years, especially in the 1980's, and we think this will be very well received by both Georgia and Clemson fans.”
Damon Evans
“Skiing is primarily a recreational sport in this country. Football, you have all these teammates, the pressures, the rivalry, 80,000 people screaming, the motion, that thrill. I can't find that in skiing.”
Jeremy Bloom
“The rivalry is one of the greatest in college football and having these teams showcase their talents in front of a national audience to kickoff the season is tremendous,”

“I think there's a rivalry. They're a good football team. We can get better. This was the first of many battles.”

“This longstanding Jacksonville tradition captures the spirit of college football rivalry at its best and we are so pleased to serve as the host for years to come.”
John Peyton
“It's just good, clean football. It's a rivalry and all, but there's not that hate or anything like that. But being neighbor counties, we still want to beat them and they want to beat us.”
