Dichotomy...

I guess it's official now: GT is going to the Tangerine Bowl. I guess I should be happy for the team, but I feel like we're only getting the nod because of the Clemson/USC brawl and UVA's final exams schedule. The FCS has made it clear we weren't their first choice, and I think they're just settling for us because we're the only ACC team left, kind of like the Humanitarian Bowl did last year - they got us by default. It's just irritating. I want to play in a bowl that wants us there and will really be excited about what we can bring to their game and all that. Yeah, a GT/Colorado rematch would be fun - we beat CU to win the 1990 National Championship (co-champs with Nebraska if I recall). But I'd still rather play in a bowl game that really wants us. Stupid FCS. But "Go Jackets!" nonetheless.
