We have won three games against teams who are in one of the Power 5 conferences. The cumulative record of those three teams against Power 5 opponents is 4-17. We literally have beaten no one.

Never confuse objective facts with whining. No one wishes the results were more different than me, as a certain head coach says, "its comes down to record and you are who you are"

"We literally have beaten no one".

Since that is not an objective fact, do you consider it whining?

thats negative PR for the bowls and the way they are set up. I've never seen anyone actually be negative at a school for accepting a bowl invite.

Not only that, it would be such a low level bowl game no one of significance would hear the negativity if there was any lol.

I am always amazed at how many of our "fans" would rather our student athletes stay home and sulk because the season didn't meet their expectations, instead of going to a bowl game where they get an experience, as well as gifts, even if it's a lower tier bowl. There's a word for that kind of thought process: selfishness.

Nobody's discounting the importance of COFH. We all want to win that one badly, especially this year at BDS!
But come on man you could say EVERY bowl is meaningless besides the playoffs. Why be all miserable about it? Not gonna lie I just want to see our team in a bowl game, even if it's the Detroit or Bahamas Bowl in front of 9,000 I don't care.

No, I honestly could NOT say every bowl is meaningless besides the playoffs. Gator, Peach, Citrus, Orange, etc. are pretty meaningful

I am saying if we win the next 3 a bowl will take care of itself without some 12/2 game.

But, damn. We beat ugag last year and STILL did not sell our allotment of Gator tickets. And I understand a vast majority of teams still lose $ on a lot of these minor bowls.

Why do we put ourselves in position to have to beat some numbnutz team on 12/2 to make just any bowl?

Yeah our mediocre turnout for the Gator [TaxSlayer] Bowl is pretty irritating. (I was there.) Our Yellow Jackets earned a weekend NYE game within 5 hrs drive of Atlanta vs an SEC opponent - that's essentially the most ideal scenario we Tech fans can hope for besides the nearly impossible Peach - and we still couldn't sell it out. That was the best value bowl trip of a decade and so many of my GT friends didn't go. Smh

We have beaten a top 25 team... now let's get that 12th game and go 9-4 after the bowl win!!

The longer this goes on without us scheduling a 12th game the more concerned I am it won't happen

I also think time is short.

I don't think there will be a 12th game and the best GT can do before Bowl Game is 7-4.

 

[RedPete]

Hopefully they just wanted to hold-off announcing til after this weekend. Keep the team's focus on the Virginia Tech do-or-die task in front of them.

Pulling the trigger if we lost gives the kids something more to play for. Or confirming a 12th game after a big win comes as good news.

Either way, we should hear something on Monday or Tuesday or I agree it ain't gonna happen.

I really think the guys, especially the seniors deserve a 12 game.

YES THEY DO!!!!!!

How about Navy?
- Navy won't win their conference division so no game for them on 12/2.
- They play Army on December 9 so playing GT can only help them prepare for the triple option.

We can only schedule teams who also only have 11 games on the schedule.

UTSA had their 2 Sep game with Houston Cancelled... So UTSA to Bobby Dodd on 2 Dec makes the most $en$e for both teams. Additional home game for us... A nice payout for them and a 12 game for everyone

This would be awesome for me as utsa is where I graduated from.

Well, we have now which was tremendous. Sure would be nice to run the ball through the A gap all day long the Saturday after thanksgiving. They appear to be a tad weak in that spot......

 

[tech_wreck47]

I want Houston if they don't make it to their conference championship game.
