Yeah, it sucks that teams that GT beat will get the close, attractive bowl matchup. Ridiculous, really--especially given that UVA will take less fans to Charlotte than GT would.

It's prolly cause we lost the rivalry game. I mean it's not like Virginia had a disappointing loss to their in-state rival they haven't beaten in 14 years.

I'd think about going to Tampa for a Bowl, even if it's against who gives a shit.

 

[Allen Koholic]

Christ, the entire Coastal went 7-5, except VPI who went to the shit heap they deserve to live on.

There's no question about it. Joe Giglio's yellowpad is by far the best source of ACC bowl matchup info. He's not just speculating. He goes to the trouble of being in close actual contact with the ADs, football coaches and conference officials who have real knowledge.

Remember when Bobby Bowden retired and the ACC pulled all those strings to get FSU a going away bowl slot they didn't deserve? What a conference. I'm surprised they didn't waive the rules to get UNC into the Orange Bowl to welcome Mack Brown back.

I would think that CPJ retiring and coaching his last game for GT would make us a more attractive pic for one of the closer bowl games. I would think that a lot of GT fans would buy tickets to the Belk or Gator to see his last game.

To be fair, after we hire our new coach, UVA won't be getting many chances to go to Charlotte.

They didn't with the departing coach either.

I would be one of them but I have no desire to visit Detroit. Belk or music City would be great. Hell, if we are going to a shitty bowl anyways I'd rather go to the Birmingham bowl or whatever it is. Screw Detroit or Shreveport, at least give us a shithole close to us

 

[JJacket]

I wouldn't mind playing Mich St either. Call it a 1952 revenge game. But it would essentially be a home game for the Spartans. That would kind of suck.

All American Bowl declared us 52 champs

Tampa would be perfect because my lady and I need to visit her dad and stepmom anyway

Its prolly because we run the boring 3O.

New
Per Joe Giglio @jwgiglio
- If Pitt gets blown out tonight, they will drop out of Tier I. Respectable effort will keep them In either Sun or Pinstripe
- Wake Forest will be in Tampa for Gasparilla Bowl
- How does this change if VT loses to Marshall in front of friends and family today in Blacksburg? Duke will go to the Military
---- Shreveport feels about right for another Georgia Tech sendoff instead of Quick Lane Bowl

Pretty sure Pitt cant fall out of tier one unless the rules have changed.

Isn't there some ranking rules the bowls have so they can take schools outside the ACC?

 

[Yukonwreck]

Didn't we get that in '85 @ the All-American Bowl?

yep

That Bad Boy Mowers Bowl is a bit of a joke. USF will probably host. It draws about 15,000 to the indoor baseball stadium.

Another Georgia Tech sendoff? Last game of the Gailey era was Boise, last of OLeary was Seattle. What’s he talking about?
