I received a tip that the Hokies have a handshake deal in place to play in the 2010 Gator Bowl against either Cincinnati or West Virginia. If Cincinnati beats Pittsburgh (Saturday 10/5 at noon) we’ll play the Mountaineers otherwise it’s the Bearcats. The source is extremely confident and in the know. But, like all non-published agreements there’s always the possibility it can fall through.
In my opinion our chances of making a BCS game were slim and none. The Peach and Gator Bowl have been the logical choices all along. So unless there’s all out chaos (namely Boise State losing and Clemson winning) expect to ring in the New Year in Jacksonville.
Update (10:25am) via Jacksonville.com:Â Florida State could be selected for Gator Bowl for Bobby Bowden’s final game.
The Times-Union has learned that given certain conditions, Florida State and West Virginia will be invited to play in the Konica Minolta Gator Bowl Jan. 1 at the Jacksonville Municipal Stadium — a matchup that would be FSU coach Bobby Bowden’s final college game, against the team he coached prior to taking over the Seminoles in 1976.
According to sources familiar with the Gator Bowl Association selection process, it was decided Monday night at a meeting of the selection committee to match the teams under two conditions: that Bowden actually retire as the FSU coach today, as has been widely reported, and that the Seminoles are eligible to be invited to the game, given the outcome of the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game Saturday and the ACC bowl selection guidelines.
Update (12/2 1:50am) via GoVolsXtra: In another “dream” matchup, Hokies versus Volunteers in the Peach Bowl.
The Chick-fil-A had identified UT as its top target if it slipped past the Outback, and the Vols and Hokies (9-3, 6-2 ACC) now look set to play in Atlanta on Dec. 31 at 7:30 p.m.

Iron Bowl (ALA 39-33-1) Alabama 23 @ Auburn 17 – In traditional with Black Friday the main course will be served before all the appetizers today. Auburn will be able to move the ball, but the Tide defense will prove too tough and Mark Ingram too consistent.

The Mirror Lake Jump: past, present and future.
Mark Mangino, the man Brent Musburger called The Big Teddy Bear, is a fat and a volatile dickhead. Jason Whitlock thinks Mangino being obese is at the heart of his problems and rage. So much for the jolly fat man stereotype. I disagree, but whatever the cause, incidents like this (via edsbs.com) have overshadowed the turnaround and miracle working he’s done on the field at Kansas.
I told him this wasn’t relevant to this ticket and he said “This job gives you power, doesn’t it? You feel real fucking powerful walking around like a big shot…He got back in his car eventually, “You just don’t like talking to me because I’m ethnic, just because I talk with my hands.” He then went on to tell me how important he was to this university and how he doesn’t have time to spend dealing with this crap.

Virginia Tech @ Maryland – If you’re looking for a preview of the game you won’t find that here. If those are things of interest to you then check out Gobbler Country’s What to Watch or Testudo Times. The only thing that matters in this fashion show game is that the Hokies win so I win a blogger bet with our friends at Girls Don’t Know Sports. The winner of said bet gets to defile the other’s banner atop their blog which will remain in place for a week. Please don’t fuck this up Hokies.

If you’re behind on your man choirs, haven’t made love to your wife or significant other, need to write that paper due yesterday, have to cram for Professor Hardass’ multivariable calculus exam, exercise or have any one of a thousand things to cross off your to-do list, tonight might be the night to start them.
South Florida at Rutgers isn’t a sexy matchup, but just think about how deprived you are in May. Get that pussy now, regardless of how rank it may be.
We’ll be here doing our thing, talking about the game. Please join us. Whatever you do, don’t bitch out and watch Grey’s Anatomy.

This is our new Thursday night thread. We hope YOU our readers and friends in the blogosphere pop your heads in and engage in a little conversation.

This is a weekend of under cards, but let’s take a look at the inner beauty.
Florida State 28 @ North Carolina 26 – To date this is the least exciting Thursday night game of the season. FSU is fighting for bowl eligibility and North Carolina needs a big win at home to feed their fan base. The ‘Noles have proven they can put up points while North Carolina has struggled  to find their groove. FSU’s defense has been suspect, but is good enough to hold the Heels in check.
South Florida 13 @ Pittsburgh 20 – Don’t punch me in the balls Wanstache.
Georgia Tech 27 @ Virginia 17 – From here on out, for obvious reasons, I’ll have my eye on Georgia Tech. For those who turn a blind eye to ACC football, Virginia Tech needs our engineering brethren in the Dirty to lose so we control our own destiny in the ACC again. The Jackets haven’t won in Charlottesville since 1990, but unfortunately their offense will be too much for the Cavs to handle. They’ll grind out the clock and UVA will waste half of their precious possessions.
Boston College 27 @ Notre Dame 30 – Brian and Jeff took some time away from knitting new tights for dance class to take a look at the history between the Eagles and Irish. The Eagles are riding a six game winning streak into South Bend, but we’re picking the Irish because Boston College has been outscored 21-73 on the road this year. The winner will receive representation in the Jesus graphic above. Current Jesus Cup standings have been provided for your convenience.

We haven’t done this in a while, we think it’s like riding a bike, but tell us if we’re doing it wrong.

The thrill of victory and agony of defeat. Purdonkulous victory by the Boilers over the Buckeyes. Man, it was great being down there, and there’s no better way to leave a field than through the field gate surrounded by thousands of smiling fellow Boilers–Boilerdowd of Boiled Sports. The warriors draped in scarlet and gray are questioning accountability, desire and competence. Georgia Tech’s win over the Hokies had Winfield and Dane partying over at President Peterson’s house where afterward they no doubt retired home, zipped themselves into adult sized onesies, and watched bootlegged anime. Good game guys. From here on out we’re siding with BCO, one game at a time, and no it’s not all Brian Stinespring’s fault. And it can always be worse. Continue Reading “Around the Interwebs” »

This is our new Thursday night thread. We hope YOU our readers and friends in the blogosphere pop your heads in and engage in a little conversation.

Cincinnati 30 @ South Florida 21 – I’m taking Cinci because of Tony Pike, Tony Pike and Tony Pike. He’s been a machine and the Bearcats have won on the road in a tougher venue (Corvallis, Oregon [St]). I’ll be focused on the play of B.J. Daniels and how he responds playing in his first major home game. The boys in green over at Sparty like Cinci too.

Oklahoma 38 versus Texas 31 – I haven’t been impressed with Texas lallygagging against Wyoming, Texas Tech and Colorado. I have a man-crush on Sam Bradford; respect the golf skills. On the outside (and I stress outside) chance VT runs the table we’ll need helping getting to the MNC and a Sooner win would be just that. So my pick is based 25% with my head and 100%heart, because I’M ALL HEART BABY. And for shits and grins: know your rivalry.

It looks like this guy found Waldo, kicked his ass and is wearing all of his gear. This is mountain flair and it gives me the excuse  to quote Office Space, which is awesome.
Peter Gibbons: Doesn’t it bother you that you have to get up in the morning and you have to put on a bunch of pieces of flair?
Joanna: Yeah, but I’m not about to go in and start taking money from the register.
Peter Gibbons: Well, maybe you should. You know, the Nazis had pieces of flair that they made the Jews wear.
