Gator is more prestigious and a better opponent.
Holiday not a fourth tier but a third tier bowl. Pop Tarts get first ACC pick, so Miami or Syracuse makes sense. Gator picks second and we’re the third or fourth best ACC team, by most consensus, and we got shafted in favor of freakin Duke.
There’s rarely ever any beach time in San Diego. Never gets too cold but really never gets too warm. I think the weather in December is probably better than June. Just a weird micro-climate
To beat the really good SEC teams you have to have a quarterback who can run. That’s why GT gave Georgia a great game. Their defensive lines just go after you. You’re not just going to stand in the pocket all day. It’s not a knock on Kyle, but you have to make plays with your legs.
Seems pretty tied into SEC info and is from Jacksonville.
I don't think that's how it works.
You make it sound so definitive, but don’t discount Kyle’s loyalty to getting Fran’s first 10 win season and top 20 finish.
From Jacksonville , Gator fan, and seemed to have SEC info reading through his page. Maybe nothing but does this sound shocking that the ACC would take care of Duke?
This same guy got all sorts of stuff wrong in the last day. The ACC didn’t put dook there. Dook put dook there.
If that bowl is tied to Pac-12 teams going forward I don't think the prestige of that bowl game will be for long. Other then Boise none of those other teams really wowed this year. Would still be a not great match up.
the conferences usually try to make the schools happy. There is usually negotiating behind the scenes to get to that point.
To be fair even the most tied in reporters seemed to get all the bowl projections wrong.
Assuming McCord doesn’t play, I am curious to see what Fran/Nixon can put together for whomever QB’s the team and who actually plays in this bowl. I want to feel confident that next year will be as promising as this year turned out to be. Can we adjust the offense to the players we have?
But but some random suit who lives in Jacksonville said so
Yep. Again, complain about the opponent that is fine but this whiny BS about the Holiday Bowl being low rent is a load of crap
This is absolutely correct. Without the Pac 12 tie-in Syracuse could’ve played a team like USC or Colorado, which would’ve provided a great showcase for Kyle and a sold out snapdragon stadium. Washington State won’t bring many fans and I’m afraid neither will Syracuse. This is a massive missed opportunity for Syracuse football.
