Imagine bragging on another teams board about playing Rutgers in a bowl game. Wild.

Done going to the Ghetto Bowl. Been several times + regular season . I hate that stadium and bowl . Wow. Let's go to Tampa! I know, a bowl game is great, but our AD and now our new conference have to work to get us into better bowls. Enough. I will say I'm glad it's GT. Good team, great traditions. But we absolutely have to aspire, as a university, to Aim for the Stars and quit being satisfied with this POS bowl! (Please note, I'm in no way dissing GT: it's the bowl itself). Our seniors deserve better. No, we didn't have a stellar year but enough with this bowl!!!! It's becoming a consolation prize.
We've been to that bowl from 3 conferences now... Somehow.
I agree, I would have liked to travel somewhere else and was a little disappointed. But then when I saw that Miami is playing Rutgers on a Thursday, in a baseball stadium located in a trash city, in 30 degree weather, in front of 5K ( just under their normal attendance in their rented stadium), I feel I can’t complain.
Well, my house is officially divided. I have 2 daughters at Georgia Tech. Go Knights!!
“You can't spell Citrus without U-T.”
But seriously, Miami is in high demand hahahahaha 😂. They got into a bowl with a perennial loser being played in the NE on a Thursday that no one will watch…really high demand, so funny.
A 6-6 team should be happy for the extra practice time. I doubt a lot of fans are going to travel far to see a .500 team vs a mid level ACC team. It’s basically a scrimmage surrounded by strip clubs. There are a lot of post season scrimmages in worse places.
Hey it could be worse… it could be played at orange juice field like the old days
Totally agree on the extra practice time, especially as a 6-6 team. I'm only venting my frustration as far as going to that damn same bowl!!! I'm proud of our team making a bowl after a difficult transition to a Power 5 conference. Glad to be playing GT, just wish it was anywhere but there.
Gus need to start winning more games so we have more Bowl flexibility or even better let’s become a Playoff quality Program
I get it. It’s a bad bowl at a bad location, at least for Florida folks. GT people might like the local.
I still think small 2-6 team tournaments should be the way post season goes. If “playoffs” can do it, why can’t other teams. Orlando can host the camping world citrus bowl for a cure cup. At least there would be a point to the post season.
This one is the biggest Massengill I’ve ever seen on our boards for the last 15+ years. Pathetic loser.
No need to be gratuitously insulting to another forum member UCF Lex Luthor. We are are all here to discuss college football and to have some fun arguing about our teams.
Dude, we're 6-6, we barely snuck into getting a bowl at all, yeah of course our bowl isn't great.
Just realized I said the same thing as LoboCane, but a blind squirrel finds a nut every once in awhile.
Looks like the stat one of our mensa’s posted was incorrect….Rutgers has won 6 of their last 10 bowl games.
No, it's Miami (FL) who has lost 10 of 11.

I think this is the best situation we could manage given our record. With Brent Key as Coach, I am pretty sure they will rely heavily on the run game. GOL taught him that.
I'm just happy we aren't playing on a Wednesday afternoon at 1PM and you have to fly there and back before Christmas.

Pretty sure Plumlee is playing based on his social media posts. The other guys won’t be I don’t think. He’ll be throwing to guys like Townsend and Amari Johnson, and handing it off to MA Richards and Bowman. Maybe Johnny Richardson plays
given how crappy the weather is on most of the east coast and Deep South during Bowl Season Tampa is a good bowl destination. The issue is when you include when this bowl was at the Rays dome UCF has been in over 40% of this Bowl’s existence. Also pre Christmas Bowls are much more inconvenient for fans w families. So I get the fatigue
Classic Spurrier line.
Funny enough, UCF isn’t in Gasparilla Bowl, but you’d think the same about us. Those Gasparilla bowl committee loves them some UCF. It’s really the best we could have hoped for, easy travel, good weather and former P5 recently re-classified G6 opponent…
Miami isn't getting more money for going to this bowl. The tie in to the ACC was always going to have it split.
What Miami won't be getting is any of that CFP money.
Enjoy Rutgers in the cold while everyone is at work. LOL.
Lobo will be watching on his Moms TV in kitchen. He works the register at night. He won’t be working until 5:30.
On multiple occasions he was very complimentary of our program
He’s a real good guy. Always spoke what was in his head, never sugar coated it, college football needs more guys like him.
