Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl
Dec. 29
El Paso, TX

Syracuse vs Utah (-6)

Oof, geez, the Utes would manhandle us. Not a good match up. Would be one of those weirdly low scoring games where you think "it we can get a touchdown here, we're in this thing" but at no point are we ever actually in this thing.

After the last two weeks I will take any opponent in a bowl as decent as this one. But yeah we would get shut out

We will go bowling this season. I hope it’s the Holiday Bowl. Need a strong finish for that to happen and need to get thru FSU healthy in order to have a strong finish.

The real question when it comes to any bowl game is who will play? How many players will sit out to protect their draft status, and how many guys in the two-deep will hit the portal before the bowl game?

IMO, too many players think they’re ready to go to the league and they’re at not. They’re not as good as Mikel Jones was and they need to learn from his journey. My recommendation it to stay in school and get more paper; another minor, another major or a graduate degree.

Who do we even have trying out for the NFL?

My wife actually wants to go to this game. She wants a side trip to Terlingua

If she gets you to Terlingua, try the Star light theatre's bbq brisket. good stuff.

Other than Oronde and Caleb, who knows. Im not sure Wax is realistic right now.

Been there twice. Awesome place, great food.

Holiday Bowl. Good one. Any bowl seems laughable right now, definitely not this one

 

[Chip]

McMurphy thinks we'll white knuckle 3 point wins against Pitt and Wake.

Will be fascinated to see if scenario plays out and if it's considered a success.

If so, I wonder if there's still time to order wider seats for the upper deck.

Syracuse vs Marshall in the Gasparilla bowl!
Give Dino a 10 year extension.
Seriously there are people that want Wildhack to do this if we make it to some kind of turd bowl.
In what world are these people living that this makes them think Dino is doing a good job?

 

[blue&orange]

If Syracuse makes a bowl it will likely be at 6-6. If BC improves to 7-5 that could put them in a bigger bowl and Syracuse in Fenway. Based on projections I see the following:
Syracuse 6-6
GA Tech 6-6
Va Tech 6-6
One will get Fenway, one will get Military, one will get Gasparilla/Birmingham.

I'm not going to do cartwheels down Marshall street, but at the same time if it were easy, someone in between Dino and Paul Pasqualoni in 98-99 would have taken the team to back-to-back bowls.

Would like to see some consistency. People mention Wake a lot as a successful peer program. When Clawson got them back to a bowl, they rattled off consecutive years of Military, Belk, Birmingham and Pinstripe before they popped for 11 wins.

After the last month and a half, if we pulled TAMPA in December out of the hat….

Give me Tampa in that case.

Doing my bowl math I only see us getting Tampa if we lose to GaTech and beat Wake Forest. If we beat GaTech on Saturday they will finish at 5-7 (UGA last game).

Absolute best case is 7-5 and we fall into the Sun Bowl

I think we will probably get the Military or Fenway Bowl

In today’s world, the 2000 and 2003 teams would have gone to bowls.

Excellent point

 

[djorange1989]

Give me Tampa.

Guessing we would get Fenway but Tampa is totally feasible
