Is This Thing On?

Posted on by

From projected ACC Champs and a spot in the CFP, to this, in just the span of a few miserable weeks.

Not going to lie, I kind of feel sorry for BYU. This could’ve been BYU versus Notre Dame in the Close But No Cigar Bowl, and given the performance of Tulane they should’ve at least gotten a chance.

Tech, nah, this is right up the Nerds’ alley. Enjoy it, Brent. With the exodus from Atlanta to greener pastures, that toasted pastry might be your last taste of a bowl game for a while.

  1. They threw everything but the kitchen sink at this year’s season to beat Georgia to keep the Drought alive and win the ACC to make the CFP.

    Now, Key is looking at a total rebuild of the program.

  2. To note:

    * tech engineering student purportedly designed the defective pop-tart trophy. Wish it would’ve shocked Key.

    * Jean-Claude Van Damme needs his vintage 90s python pimp boots back.

  3. Fitting for the only modern-era program to win a national title* in the Citrus Bowl against a team ranked #13 in the nation.

  6. I’ll be honest the shenanigans of the Pop Tart, Duke’s Mayo and Cheez-it Bowls don’t really bother me. At least somebody is trying to salvage some fun out of the Bowl Games. I watched the end of the Minnesota/New Mexico game and chucked at the uniforms but at least the teams cared. All I really ask for, tbh

    • I love these type of bowls. The Pop Tarts Bowl and Dukes Mayo Bowl should remind us that this is a game played for fun.

      My buddy, who’s kid went to Tech, is at the game with his kid today. Should be a good game. I’ll be wearing my new “Hating has no bye week” shirt from Matt Mitchell SEC Roll Call to make sure Tech loses in the most heartbreaking fashion.

      • Looks like the t-shirt worked perfectly. Tech blows a double-digit lead to lose in excruciating fashion at the end. 🤣

        • You deserve a Pop Tart!!!
          Thank you for sharing! My Dad earned his Masters from Fresno (Fresneck) State. The amount of times he dropped “Real Bulldogs” on me after the College World Series was always worth a laugh.

  7. ‘Ol Brent probably should’ve won in Athens last year, but deep down inside I think he realized that was probably his best shot he’ll ever have. It’s like he cried like a doofus. Should’a, would’a, could’a. Nerds.

    • The Tech job is gonna break Coach Key. My text group was laughing about Coach Key needing to go on a Imogene treatment retreat for PTSD after he gets run, getting his mind right and rehabbing as an OLine analyst for Kirby.

  8. I wish that all sponsers of bowl games would remove their names from the bowls as they pretty much all sound stupid & ridiculous:

    Bad Boy Mowers Pinstripe Bowl, Valero Alamo Bowl, Famouse Idaho Potato Bowl, ReliaQuest Bowl, Union Home Mortgage Gasparilla Bowl, Xbox Bowl, etc., etc.

    It’s fine to HAVE a sponser but let the bowl game have it’s own name and THEN follow it by “sponsored by whoever”

    I’d also be in favor is getting rid of many of the bowl games that can’t get a good matchup. Who wants to watch a 5-7 team vs a 6-6 team?

    • “It’s fine to HAVE a sponser but let the bowl game have it’s own name and THEN follow it by “sponsored by whoever”

      My thoughts, exactly. We’ll said.

    • As I mentioned above, if it’s college football, I will watch it. Two 5-7 teams can put on a competitive game.

      Do you watch high school football? This is better than that.

    • Have to disagree with you. The Independence Bowl brought to you by Poulon Weedeaters just doesn’t sound right.

  9. Po lil ‘ole Clempson lost their bowl game to the fighting “We Are’s” as in , “we are a college that hasn’t beaten a top ten team since the world was young”. Swinney dropped another Bowl. Good for him!

  12. I came into the Taxslayer bowl for the last two minutes of the first half and UVA looked like the Keystone Kops, but they have gotten better. I would like them to win because I’m developing a dislike for Missouri. Especially Damon Wilson II.
