ATHENS, Ga. — The 118th edition of "Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate" will be under the Friday night lights in Athens this evening.
Georgia and Georgia Tech face off with a lot on the line, at least for the Bulldogs -- a win over Tech would see them finish the regular season 10-2 and all but clinch a spot in the College Football Playoff. For the Yellow Jackets, it's a chance to knock the Dawgs off their perch (and possibly out of the Playoff altogether).

Georgia vs. Georgia Tech | Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate 2024
- Where: Sanford Stadium, Athens
- When: Friday night, November 29, 7:30 p.m. ET
- TV: ABC
- Tickets: Sold out, some availability on secondary markets however. (The UGA athletics site directly links to SeatGeek, where two-ticket availability begins at about $60.)
- What's on the line: For the Dawgs, everything -- a win essentially puts them into the College Football Playoff ahead of the SEC Championship Game. For Tech, it's mostly about pride and the chance to deal a massive blow to UGA. At 5-3 in the ACC, the Jackets can't reach the conference championship game and at 7-4 they're bowl eligible regardless of Friday night's outcome. They can secure a nicer bowl invitation with a feather-in-the-cap win over the Dawgs, however.
Parking
At SeatGeek, parking in the east and north campus decks starts in the $80s. You can also get closer to Sanford Stadium at higher price points.
