Hey, HomeLAN...

Hey, didn't you either go to Georgia Tech or otherwise have some connection to that school?

Here's why I ask:
Guess who Fresno State is going to play in the Silicon Valley Bowl this year...

 

[Gonz]

wtf is the Silicon Valley Bowl? Is it like the Holiday Bowl or the Sun Bowl? ie pointless

 

[unclehobart]

He did his freshman year there.. perhaps a bit more.

 

[HomeLAN]

Freshman year only. Doesn't really matter to me, as GT hasn't had a real team since the year they had to "share" the national championship with Colorado. Freaking ripoff.

 

[Inkara1]

So you won't mind when Fresno State takes the Yellow Jackets to school.

I guess you could say the Silicon Valley Football Classic is meaningless, as is the Seattle Bowl, the Humanitarian Bowl or the New Orleans Bowl (at least this year North Texas won't be in the bowl with a 5-6 record). About all it's good for is tourism dollars.

 

[HomeLAN]

I wouldn't have minded...if ya hadn't said anything.

Now I'll be watchin'.

 

[Inkara1]

Fresno State 30, Georgia Tech 21.

 

[Professur]

Damn. And I forgot to call my bookie.

 

[Inkara1]

Good thing, too; Tech was an 8-point favorite.

 

[unclehobart]

I was more attuned to the Sugar Bowl.

 

[HomeLAN]

Too busy to watch. Congrats, Inky.

 

[Inkara1]

I checked the Atlanta Journal-Constitution's web site and the Georgia Tech rant was mostly "Fire Chan Gailey." Is there much "fire Gailey" sentiment around there?

 

[Stop Laughing]

If it's anything like the 'Fire Shoop' sentiment around here, then it's huge.

 

[unclehobart]

Must've been isolated ... I never heard a peep about it.

 

[HomeLAN]

I really hadn't heard a thing, either. Of course, we're so awash in Bulldog fans around here that Tech football may as well not exist.
