The rundown looks like this:

2006 - Texas A&M; Pittsburgh
2007 - Wisconsin
2008 - Clemson; Florida
2009 - North Carolina; South Carolina
2010 - Arizona

I'm headed to A&M this fall for my first ever trip to Kyle Field. I can't wait.

The A&M game makes a lot of sense for both schools - the military connection and all of the various traditions at both places makes for a nice tie-in. Is there any previous playing history between the two?

No previous history. It will be the first time they've ever met on the gridiron.

And it's on Labor Day weekend. Think it will be a little warm?? : )

That is awesome. Our AD won't play anyone but UGA. I enjoy playing them immensley, but.... There are so many 1-A schools I wish we had the oppurtunity to play, esp with some of the teams we've had in yrs past. I wish Citadel the best. They are my favorite "other" SoCon school and I pull for them every game, except against the obvious. Cheers to the Citadel! Great school, great fans and the best city in the world (Chuck-town).

That is very true. I'd put some of GSU's past teams against any middle-tier SEC team, and I bet they would have pulled a few upsets.
That's one of the perks of having an influential AD. Yall need to rally the troops in the alumni ranks and start demanding some better 1-A games each season. At least make them commit to one every 3 years so every recruit has the chance to play against the big boys.
