Birmingham it is boys

That’s a stout defense. Tough matchup

 

[Gold1]

We play Troy in Bham. This is awful

 

[Techster]

That's a scary matchup for us. Hopefully our boys take it seriously. Would like to finish 7-6 and end the season on an upward note.

Oh well. A bowl game is a bowl game.

 

[Jophish17]

Ugh. An opponent and city I couldn’t care less about

 

[GTBandit22]

Booooooo

 

[Techster]

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.

 

[jeffgt14]

Figured that's where we would end up. Upset at the opponent but should be a good game.

Exactly. Don’t start with this whining crap.

I kind of feel like Troy deserves better than facing a 6-6 team after going 11-2 and winning their conference. Meanwhile I'm just happy we're in a bowl game after the slog of the last 4 years

 

[stech81]

Well we get Fu*ked like FSU

Closest Bowl game location outside of the peach to Tech. Won’t have to even get a hotel room.

Extra practice. More exposure. All good.

2 hrs 11 minutes from GT campus.

Birmingham Tourism board probably hates this pick as our fans will probably come in for the game and leave the same day. Part of bowl games is the tourism aspect of it. Blame it on the selection committee, Birmingham.

 

[TooTall]

I can't make it. Owning a retail store leaves me watching a replay for any bowl game before Christmas.

 

[Dinner_Jacket]

Time to begin a Bowl Win streak!!

It’s a good matchup developmentally. Troy’s defense is top 20. Our offense is mid-30’s.

Their offense is mediocre, but better than our defense. We need to bring our best game.
