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.

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.

Err-Body Look at Me!
by cgb on
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.

Around the Interwebs

Don’t get us wrong the Maryland West Virginia series starting in 2010 will be good football. But it’s the Hokies not the Terps the Mountaineers should be playing every year. VT and WVU’s rivalry is built upon hate, upsets and epic games not cheesy nicknames like the “side yard brawl.”
After the suspension and subsequent transfer announcement of / from Dominique Davis Boston College received a commitment from 25-year-old quarterback Dave Shinskie.
Shinskie, who graduated from Mount Carmel in 2003, has been away from football for a long time. The 6-foot-4, 215-pounder was drafted as a pitcher in the fourth round by the Minnesota Twins in 2003 and spent six-plus years in the minors, compiling a 24-30 record with a 4.61 ERA while never rising above Double A. He was released this year by the Toronto Blue Jays organization while playing for the New Hampshire Fisher Cats.
What a great move by the Eagles, who much like Syracuse and Greg Paulus have nothing to lose and everything to gain. But better for BC is Shinkskie has four years of eligibility.
The Army Navy Game is going to tour some high profile NFL stadiums between 2010 – 2017. That game makes me feel more American than any cheeseburger ever could. Continue Reading “Around the Interwebs” »
