fig leaf? Did you mean olive branch?

LOL....

My coffee hasn't kicked in yet.

That was NEVER going to happen under Collins. Stansbury and Collins are now gone, and Batt and Key have publicly thrown out the fig leaf. I have no doubt CPJ will be back on the Flats sooner than later.

I just had to shut down my visualization capabilities.

I think in 2024 they should honor the 2014 team for their 10th anniversary.

You don't hash these things out in a Finnish sauna?

 

[Jim Prather]

You are more than welcome to do so, but I think I'll pass.

Great idea - any excuse for a party.

Should sell the big 16 oz miller lite in metal steel cans - great noise makers to run off cow bells.

Honestly if I'm key i might be seeing if i can't play golf with him anyway and pick his brain. Key's an old school guy and it sounds like he wants to attack and dominate people rather than play patty cake and catch see if johnson's had any thoughts on line schemes with the new rules.

Hell with the NIL making lots of previous rules legal, firmly and confidently display 2009 ACC champs and honor them in 2029, too.

I think the fig leaf was for coverage, olive branch for peace.

What a phone call, Batt informed CPJ of his HoF induction, and mentioned he'll be honored here in December

No, the Citrus Bowl was not considered one of the premier bowls. it was a well-respected one, but we should have played Miami in the Cotton Bowl or Colorado in the Sugar Bowl. Back then the bowl invites were unaffiliated and handed out before the end of the season, so we were relegated to a lesser bowl even though we were ranked #2 in both the UPI Coaches' Poll and the AP Poll at the end of the regular season.

You did have Big 8 (or 12) champ in the Orange, plus the SEC in the Sugar and Pac 12 v Big 14 in the Rose. But to your point, yes, the other bowls had no tie-ins to conferences by and large.
It really should have been GT vs. Colorado in the Orange. Let ND play Nebraska in the Citrus.

Hell, I miss the Southcheat champ in the Cotton every year.

Prior to 1998 there were four bowls that were considered “Major.” Those were the Rose, Orange, Sugar, and Cotton. Fiesta bought its way in over the Cotton with the BCS, and the Peach joined the party in 2014.

So technically speaking, no…we did not go to a major bowl in 1990.

Fiesta really got on the map as a fat daddy bowl when it had Penn State vs. Miami and Notre Dame vs. West Virginia.

F#ck yeah!!!

Key has followed PJ on Twitter for years. So has Choice, even though I heard Choice one night very early on in his Tech coaching tenure say some disparaging things about the PJ program. Nothing major.

J Batt says that “GT will honor CPJ in the Fall” probably to recognize his success at GT and his induction to Coaching Hall of Fame

That was literally the most CPJ reaction ever, love it!
