Bowl game (what bowl and who do you want)

[smokey_wasp]

We’re frustrated with fans like you who celebrate these participation trophies. You’re holding back the program by refusing to put fan pressure on Stansbury just because you got your precious bowl game against Eastern Michigan.

A bunch of guys discussing bowl destinations is what is holding us back...lol, sure.

Nobody is happy with today. Pissed is an understatement. But overreacting to fit an agenda sounds like a ***** move. Doesn't it?

I would rather compete year in and year out for the Coastal and ACC Titles, bowl game be damned.

Well they finish 2nd this year in the Coastal.

 

[Deleted member 2897]

Well they finish 2nd this year in the Coastal.

We finished tied for 4th with 1 other team (NC State) out of 14 teams. Certainly much better than the 11th place prediction the media predicted before the season started. We finished 5 points short of Pitt to winning the Coastal and going to the ACC Championship game.

Paul Johnson has been winning 8 or more games at 4x the rate that Georgia Tech was in the last 50 years prior to his arrival. If we win our Bowl Game, we'll hit that mark yet again.

Duke getting trashed, UVA lost to VT, and Pitt could easily lose to Miami and Clemson. No reason this game should affect the decision for our bowl game, we should still get a tier 1.

NC State: Camping World
Syracuse: Belk
GT: Music City
UVA or BC: Sun

GT will more than likely have had the best second half of all the 7-5 teams which helps even with this loss.

We finished tied for 4th in the entire ACC with 1 other team (NC State). Given that there is the CFP, NY6 and 4 Tier 1 Bowl Games, there's no reason that the 4th place ACC Team shouldn't fall inside the top 7 ACC Bowls.

Exactly, to many fans that are happily satisfied with this kind of season as long as crappy bowl is the outcome

Well I am happy for the players they get to go to a bowl, as for being happily satisfied being drunk I'm fine right now, and have no plans to stop drinking. I'll let you know how I am after I'm sober.

Have fun in Birmingham.

Gawd. It's all about you, isn't it? What you might think about, just for a change, is the players.

For them, it is:

• Another chance–for some the last one–to play the game they love.

• A chance to win and get some of the bad taste of losing out of their mouths.

• A vindication of their season; in our case, rising literally from the grave you and others like you here dug for them to have a winning season and go to a bowl at the end of it.

• A chance to spend the holidays doing something where they can have some fun and get treated like the celebrities they are to the bowl committees.

• And another chance to develop their skills and convince the coaches that they should get a chance to play next year.

Sooooooo … can the complaints and get with the program. It's a game and this is their reward for playing it.

So we finish better than 11th so you’re happy. So many fans are content with falling short every year. As long as it’s not a blow out it’s ok to fall short. So many people on here that are ok with 7-8 wins and will ride for Paul Johnson instead of wanting more. And then get their feelings hurt that people don’t agree and want more for the program

You should get an honorary graduate degree in "Putting Words Into Other People's Mouths". No. That's not what any of us are saying.

As long as the players enjoy the chance to travel and play another game, I will always root for a bowl appearance, even if it’s in Shreveport or Yankee stadium

7-5 is basically an average post-Dodd Tech season. No one is satisfied with it, but its going to take more than a coaching change to improve that

7-5 is basically an average Tech season since Dodd left. No one is satisfied wuth it, but its going to take more than a coaching change to improve that

I don't understand why people can't understand this. It is so obvious. At some point we are going to need a new coach. Instead of putting all your energy into getting a new coach that will still have to fight all the same problems and who will be lucky to duplicate the same results as Johnson. The odds are even higher that we will do far worse. Probably cycle through a few coaches with much higher salaries and their buyouts. We should be focused as a fan base to improve the basic infrastructure that will help the current and future coaches.

7-5 with a 14 point loss to UGA got Gailey fired.

 

[smokey_wasp]

7-5 with a 14 point loss to UGA got Gailey fired.

He got fired because 7-5 was about all he could do and because of 0-7.

Those 7 games were against UGA teams of the quality of the last two. CPJ blew golden opportunities against bad UGA teams.

I get so tired of people bringing up Chan Gailey. I’ve not missed that guy a single day and that goes for today as well.

Belk and Music City both seem like good options and possible, but I think maybe Syracuse goes to Camping World and Duke to Belk and NCST to Music City.

I think we’re looking at Detroit.

No way Duke gets a tier 1 at 3-5 in the ACC coming off a 59-7 loss to Wake. Even the Belk wont want them. We get Military or Independence at worst. Duke or Wake probably get Detroit.

 

[Deleted member 2897]

There are only 5 teams in the ACC with a positive record in ACC play, and we are 1 of them. If we aren't put into the top 7 teams that get CFP/NY6/Tier 1 Bowls, its complete and utter BS.
