<blockquote><p>Georgia athletic director Greg McGarity said he felt the scheduled season opener, against Virginia on Sept. 7 in Atlanta, would happen. McGarity said that was based on internal discussions and just watching how the situation was evolving.</p>
<p>“Based on status of our state with regard to all aspects of the virus,” McGarity said.</p></blockquote>
<p>In that short piece from Emerson, the words &#8220;hope&#8221;, &#8220;optimistic&#8221; and &#8220;expectations&#8221; appear eight times.  This does, too, though:</p>
<blockquote><p>McGarity said that question for the Georgia-Virginia game was “not sure as of today, and will be determined by the medical pros.”</p></blockquote>
<p>If you think our illustrious AD is talking out of both sides of his mouth there, well, that&#8217;s only because he is.  But he&#8217;s hopeful!</p>
