I say we go wherever and beat the snot out of whoever we play.Dear tantrum-throwing fans mad about Birmingham,
A bowl is a bowl is a bowl.

It looks like a mess. From what I can tell, GT and Duke aren’t being fought over, so we’re getting one of the bottom two bowls.
Aside from CLT, they’re the closest for us, though.
From my experience with sports, the mental attitude is sometimes beyond your control no matter how many mind tricks you use to tell yourself you are not disappointed, you have pride, and you are fully focused. I’ve heard many a forlorn coach say after a devastating loss, “We had spirited practices and I really thought we were ready to play.”If our team isn’t up for this Bowl Game it speaks badly of the coaches and players. Only Smith and J King have been to a Bowl and they didn’t play in it.
I think this bowl has been set, we're just waiting for the rest to get it worked out so that an announcement of all the games can be made simultaneously.GT hasn't announced yet. Birmingham bowl hasn't announced yet. Not saying I doubt this will be the bowl and matchup, but it's doesn't look official yet.
If Birmingham is the place then that’s where my family and I will be on 12/23 to cheer for the Jackets.LOL...I get it, Birmingham is not an attractive destination. However, we haven't been bowling in 5 years. We would have given a lot the last 5 years to go bowling.
From a football matchup, this is a good team we're playing. Show up and show out.
Bowl games very often depend on who's more motivated. Probably a major motivation for Tech to end up over .500, I hope.From my experience with sports, the mental attitude is sometimes beyond your control no matter how many mind tricks you use to tell yourself you are not disappointed, you have pride, and you are fully focused.

Sometimes it’s just hard to turn your emotions off and on.
