Official Gasparilla Bowl/AI Masterpieces Thread

If I was going I would 100% stay 6.2 miles away from the stadium in Ybor City and party my ass off. Had a couple of crazy wild nights in Ybor during a March Madness trip back around 2012.

Woke up with pictures of me doing shots with a midget and someone dressed up as an astronaut.
I'd stay at the Hard Rock and eat at their steak house. It's badass.

I went there too. Put $20 in the first slot machine I saw, won $300 then spent it all on booze w my friends…and midgets and apparently astronauts.

I’ll always remember this crazy bartender chick who saw me the next day and said “oh no no no no…not this guy again”…

She had tattoos on her left fingers which spelled out “OMFG” and the tats on her right read “STFU” lol

There was one night my wife and I couldn't lose. We raped the 4-card table for over an hour. Rules Jr was there but not playing. My wife kept giving him chips to cash in.
 
I live in Abalama too, and I'd choose it over 90% of the places my work has taken me.
I lived in Bay Minette, Alabama for a total of 25 years and really enjoyed it. Easy access to the Gulf and to HGF@BDS. Still have lots of friends and family there and there surrounding area. To each his own, but I'm a rural kind of guy. Love the hunting and fishing in Alabama!
 
I watched Super Bowl LI at some bar in Ybor City and I'm not sure I could stomach going back there. Certainly not sober.
 
Why did it change??
Earlier Sunday, it was announced by the Big 12 that Duke would play the Knights again in the Gasparilla Bowl. But the ACC and bowl organizers continued to shuffle teams to avoid the Duke-UCF rematch, sending the Blue Devils to Birmingham and Georgia Tech ended up with the slot in Tampa, Florida.

 
What is the day, date, time for this bowl? Wtf is gasparilla? Sounds like some kind of gas put in a Poland Weed eater.
 


Agreed, to a degree. Four of the teams finishing behind Tech had better overall records. The one team that got a better bowl that shouldn’t have was Miami, who finished 3-5 in conference and of course Tech defeated.
 
Great, they moved us from one bowl I can’t go to to an even worse bowl (lower payout, even earlier) that I can’t go to. This game is a joke, firmly in the “oh, bowl games already started?” window. The ACC is a clown show.

Well they probably won’t play it if you can’t go and you don’t like it.
