Spite
Clemson Football, winning at least three games a year in spite of our play calling for the last nine years. I could fuss, moan, complain, and generally sound like a USuCk fan but I’ll take it. As Broken wrote, it was the the most painful good experience I have had in sometime. We made mistakes, they made more. Fortunately for the good guys, our mistakes were more “off” the field than theirs and it made the difference. Easily could have been a 17 point win but we wouldn’t be the cardiac cats if we played that way. Fans get to contemplate for another week what town to make New Years reservations for. Most likely start looking for a room in JAX and get your Gator Bowl tickets. At the same time, we could get crapped on and end up in the Champs Sports (ACC 4) though with our fan following it’s doubtful we fall with VT rolling what most think has been an overrated UVA team who has found ways to win. At the same time, BC isn’t known for traveling and it’s been five years since we rolled the Vols in the ATL for the Peac……I mean Chick-Fil-a Bowl. We are within a win and the folks in Georgia have the option of taking us. I’ll hold off on bottled water comments for the time being. There is also a very slight chance we go to Atlanta as BC and VT get into the BCS mix due to the rules regarding max number of conference teams in the BCS and the effects on the Big 12 and SEC. I’ll break down the scenarios later in the week after the BCS is released tomorrow. As it stands now, Mizzou and WVU control their destiny for a title game appearance in N’awlins. Good week to be a Tiger, for the most part. CU, Mizzou, and Auburn all took care of business as ranked teams in grudge match games. We wont talk about the folks on the bayou.
I’d rather have the boys go to the Konica Minolta Gator Bowl since it is a New Year’s Day game. Doesn’ t the Eat Mor Chickin Chick-fil-A Bowl have a bigger payday though?
Something has to be done about bowl names. I’d rather have something like the Rose Bowl presented by Citi instead of the aforementioned Gator Bowl and of course the best one this year, the San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl.
While they’re at it, why not have the “We all know you’re sh*tty, so here you are in the Toilet” Bowl?
I would love to see the Toilet Bowl presented by 2000 flushes. If they could improve their longevity on average by one more flush, USuCk would be the perfect fit. They could get one of those nifty Notre Dame tie-ins. Taht would actually be a great game this year. Two crappy teams face off in the toilet Bowl. Marketing genius and NBC would pick it up.
