Beat uga or not

But the rules state that 5-6 might indeed be eligible, especially when the 12th game was cancelled beyond your control. To your credit, while I may not agree with your position, at least you defend it with logic.

Also, all this misses the bigger point. If we have the opportunity, we're going, and the ACC will ensure it, as they need the revenue generated. It ends up being a financial decision that will be made for us, whether we agree or not.

If that is the rule than fine let them go and I'll go if it's close. But it would help if they just beat uga, and I still think there are too many bowls

Yep, the ACC is a shared thing. So, the more bowl teams, the more money.

To me?? Just because I'm old school. If you didn't earn it, you don't get it. I'm not an everyone gets a trophy type person.

Now.... If we are considered to had earned it at 5-6 and with the 12th game missing, so be it. I imagine it will be the lowest or one of the lowest bowls available to the ACC

In today’s entitlement mentality society everybody gets a participation trophy. So if we are invited to a bowl go I say.

If there are open bowl slots and only 5 win teams available, it is not embarrassing. If there are 6 win teams sitting at home...then we shouldn't be in a bowl.

Let be fair though, the kids were slighted a 12th game. So even if they don't get 6 wins after this Saturday, they very well could have if they had the opportunity to play 12 games. But, let's not worry about that let's just go beat down UGA this Saturday. BTW ken wrote an article yesterday saying Todd was still looking for a 12th game.

The lower level bowls are breakeven at best. The coaches want the extra practice and tv exposure. The seniors want 1 more game before their playing days are over.

The thing that really makes you want to pull your hair out is, that this typically sets-up perfectly for us and we'll probably go out and beat UGAG ??????

If that happens every mattress in Athens will be burned and Kirby Smart will be on a very intense hotseat in 2018.

And the legal gifts associated with playing in a bowl game.

Unfortunately this is accurate for most of our fans.

Agreed...a 1-11 season would be very disappointing for the players and fans...
