Why would that be, according to vthokie22 Georgia Tech will be playing in the Chik-fil-A.

GT is #1 on their list

no, that's not what i'm saying at all...the chick-fil-a people are watching the GT-UGa game and they are really gonna push for the winner, if GT makes the BCS then that's just tough for CFA, they'll take the next in line and move on...but they really want GT

must be insider information [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
GT in the chick will be if they beat UGA and then lose the ACC CG. They look to be the likely ACC team in that scenario. Maybe vs UT? But if UGA wins I hear they or UT are likely to play VT. This from an insider, take it for what it's worth. We really won't know anything til after the conference title games.

UGA vs VT now that would be a good game right there...personally i would see UT killing the hokies if ainge is healthy but based upon UGA and VT seasons so far i think it would be the better game
Yep, Ainge would probably shred that #1 pass D.
All joke aside, he would get his yards. He has good protection and receivers. But VT does have a good secondary too.
I would take either. Wouldn't mind playing those Dogs at all. I too think it would be a great game.
yeah...there is one thing i have learned and that is football cant be played out on paper...that being said it is just like last year when everybody thought the georgia D would destroy the WVU offense
Well, I know I ribbed you some on UGA losing to WVU but I think the Dogs overlooked them some and Coach Rod is a good one for the Eers. He had them ready to play. Plus Slaton and White are very difficult to defend because of their deceptive speed.
Me personally, I see Brandon Ore running for 200 yds against the weak Tennessee run defense (as long as he gets back to 100%).
ahh shoot yeah UGA overlooked WVU...i was totally surprised that the game ended up being as close as it was...it still pisses me off to think that UGA never even adapted to the style of offense that WVU was running even after halftime georgia kept going with the 4-3 defense
They have the first pick of ACC non-BCS teams, but the fourth or fifth pick of SEC teams. I kind of doubt UT will be available.
Wishful thinking that UT and VT will play there. I look for UT to face PSU in the Outback Bowl.
I saw some word out of Knoxville today that the Outback Bowl is very interested in UT.
I wouldn't be surprised to see the Gators in the Outback after they lose to Arkansas.
How long has it been since UT even played there?
Two Cotton Bowls, two Peach Bowls, and a Citrus Bowl since 2000.
In 92 they played Boston College in the Hall of Fame Bowl, which I do believe is now called the Outback Bowl. So they haven't played in Tampa in 14 years. Would be a good change of pace.
Like I said in the other thread why would the CFA/Peach want a team that is 1/2 mile away to come to town and play, there would also be no incintive fot GT, if I were on that team and found out I was going to the CFA/Peach I would be one very ticked off son of a gun.
93. They beat BC. Shuler was the MVP. It was the Hall Of Fame then though.

UF has been to Tampa three times since 02. I would think they wouldn't want the Gayturds in Tampa just like Atlanta shouldn't want UT.
To have GT wouldn't be much different than UGA. GT and UGA would both bring in a ton of locals buying tickets and then to either have UT or VT who both have a great fan following and the Chick and Atlanta makes a lot of money.
haha i'll stand by the info i get...the winner of the UGA/GT game will be playing in the chick-fil-a bowl if they dont get a BCS bid first
you can choose to believe it if you want, i really couldn't care less
Well as far as the Chick Bowls thinking as to UT and GT let's hear from their Blog.
"If Georgia Tech beats Georgia and comes up a little short in the championship game to either B.C., Maryland or Wake Forest, their rankings could keep them in a position to play in the Dome right in their backyard."
Chick Bowl Speaks
no way in he ll they choose UGA over UT
if uga beats gt, wanna bet??

Ticket sales will not be a problem and attracting locals to buy tickets shouldn't be a major concern with loss of hotel and restraunt reveue since all the locals will stay at home and do their normal routine. Why in the world would a team want to sit at home when every other team is traveling and getting a week of special treatment and vacationing before the game. Which brings up another question their bowl money that would be alloted for the travel will it be given to them since there is no travel and isn't merrited, if not so now they are losing what money they are able to get legally and all you have is nearly 100 upset locals since the practice squads that don't travel normally do get the same treatment and even dress for the bowl game.
first GT will handle UGA, second they wouldnt choose a 4 loss Georgia over a 3 loss Tennessee, unless of coarse Tennessee gets picked up by the Outback.
According to what was on the radio this morning UT is the favorite for the Outback.
it all really comes down if the BCS takes both Arkansas and FLorida in BCS games if so UT will go to Tampa if one gets left out its a trip to Atlanta
Sounds logical but a trip to Atlanta isn't very appealing and may cost them some ticket sales to UT fans that are tired of going there and watching UT just go through the motions and lose, of course this year they may decide to come ready to play after last year and not being in a bowl at all. I know myself I have sworn off going to Atlanta to watch them play since having watched them lose 2 SEC championships and 2 Peach bowls.
What about the Cotton for UT they travel well to this game and usually play well there, of course except for the year I went and they looked like a monkey humping a football against Kansas State in an ice storm, first measureable snowfall they had had in the Dallas are in like 20 years and of course it happened when I go there.

like i said, if UGA wins they're in the chick-fil-a bowl, period
after last year UT fans will travel anywhere to a bowl game
