Sounds like your vote would go to the Holiday Bowl then. Since no ACC school is going to travel well across to the West Coast anyway; might make sense for ACC to try to send Syracuse, which has as many alumni in the area as any ACC institution.
You better bring a case!
This is a presumption built on a prediction but next year with him we probably fall into the “zero upside so sitting out the bowl game” zone. I’ll take that problem over not having players to have that difficult choice to make.
I hear ya, but you never know. My main point was the final result of our full seasons with him in their totality though.
We play Purdue in 2022 and 2023. I would not want this.
99% sure we’d have to go 8-4. The Holiday Bowl always has teams with 8, 9 or 10 wins.
With a name like SanDiegoCuse I will take your word for it!
First thing I thought too...3 straight years of Purdue is too much.
However, the ACC fills a slot and this is new. The Holiday Bowl really makes sense for some of the private schools. We aren't expected to sell a ton of tickets...but, we also usually have alumni out on the West Coast too. I could see Syracuse in contention with just 7 wins. If we have 8 wins we are probably a slam dunk. They are playing at the Padres home field so it has one of those funky seating charts. San Diego is a great trip.
This combined with ND in 3/5 future OOC games is tough. We can use some cupcakes after all. Not complaining about the ND games though, that will be cool.
Yikes. Not a beneficial matchup.
Those are good points. My wife went to University of Washington so we are pulling for that matchup. Haha.
If we get this bowl...you'll be our local expert...if you so choose
Agreed. That’s a game that is winnable and the seniors will be pumped for it.
I would hope the bowl committees feel the same way.
