Seriously though. I enjoy going to bowl games. But, in this day and age, the team that shows up to a bowl game is usually a shell of its former self. Im currently in a wait and see position.Better dig out those shoulder pads from the box in the garage.
I was about to give you a Like after reading your first sentence. Then I read the rest of your post.
Not trying to be Debbie downer but if you're going to tear the whole thing down, I can't see how it wouldn't just be some distraction for the coach with nothing to gain. Pull the plug.
No Annapolis?
I just don't see how Annapolis doesn't end up with Virginia tech
From a recruiting standpoint doesn't it make sense for Boston? I mean our target area is within 300 miles of Fenway Park. Brown can get to the game, start hitting the road, etc. I feel like it makes sense operationally and logistically.
Yes. He has 1 job, land a class that will make people take notice, that's it.
I'm not sure that article is right. If FSU is in the playoff and another ACC school (can't be ND so presumably Louisville) goes to the Orange against a Big 10 school, then the ACC also gets Reliaquest and slides ND in that spot which moves every team up two slots with the next best team going to Pop Tarts.Good article on the ACC bowl situation.
In short, all the ACC bowl teams get to move up a slot if FSU wins. UL ends up in the Orange and another B1G team is their opponent.
That appears to be our only change to get anywhere except Boston or Tampa.
The good news is it seems likely to happen.
Bowl projections for Hokies after Week 13: Do you want to salute the military or get a scoop of mayo?
Here are the latest bowl projections for Virginia Tech after the Hokies became bowl eligible.roanoke.com
For this season in particular, there is one scenario that would be ideal for the ACC to maximize its bowl slots. It begins with the CFP. First, Florida State needs to win the ACC title, be in the top four of the committee’s ranking and secure one of two semifinal berths. Second, Louisville is the highest-rated ACC team and heads to the Orange Bowl. Third, the Orange Bowl opponent needs to be a team from the Big Ten (think Ohio State or Penn State).
If those three things unfold, that opens the door for the ACC to get a team into the ReliaQuest Bowl (formerly the Outback Bowl). The only way an ACC team gets into the ReliaQuest Bowl is if a Big Ten team gets into the Orange Bowl. (It is currently contracted for an SEC-Big Ten showdown.)
Why is that important? Notre Dame is factored into the ACC’s bowl slot this year because of not being in the CFP or NY6. That means the ReliaQuest Bowl would be ideal for the Fighting Irish and not slide the ACC teams down the pecking order.

Where will the Hokies end up?
The Hokies’ destination will depend on the outcome of Saturday’s ACC championship game. If Florida State loses and falls enough in the CFP rankings to not get an at-large into the NY6, then the dominos will likely guarantee Tech heads to the Military Bowl for the third time and first since 2018. The previously mentioned ideal scenario could open up other possibilities, such as the Duke’s Mayo Bowl.
As of today, just about everyone has UL playing Ohio State in the Orange, so it looks likely the best case scenario for the ACC bowl teams will happen. That moves VT up to a better bowl (probably the Mayo) and Syracuse could possibly get into the Military).
Yup. If FSU wins, BC goes to Pinstripe and we go to Fenway. If FSU loses, everybody gets bumped down. BC goes to Fenway and we go to Tampa.
Let's go Tampa!
A chance to play some young guys and still keep a redshirt
I suspect it will either be Fenway or Gasparilla
I got the guest room all set up for y'all if we get Military and you change your mind
So the current staff who has been fired and is looking for jobs are supposed to stay around and coach kids many of whom will be released or "encouraged" to find a new school?
I'd love to see the boosters that were interviewed in the Pony Express 30 for 30 doc interviewed now to answer the question: "What'll you guys do now that this is all over the table?"
This is amusing to me (in a good way). If we get bumped down due to an FSU loss, we go from a very cold Fenway Park to a warm, vacation destination down in Florida. It would be just terrible if we get bumped.
Who cares? It’s a scrimmage and 15 practices. CDRW and Davis cage match. Give them each two quarters if GS doesn’t want to play.
It counts towards our final record, it’s just as much a real game as the last one was.
