There’s something truly… er, delicious about the possibility of 10-win South Carolina falling to the Chick-fil-A Bowl and listening to the man who taunted Fulmer for years about landing in the Citrus Bowl try to put a happy face on it.

Quote Of The Day
-
“We remember the Sugar Bowl, I think it my junior year of high school, we let Alabama beat us twice,” Brinson said of a team that also lost to the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship game. “We’re not letting Alabama beat us twice. In the Sugar Bowl in 2018, they… thought they should have been in the playoffs and lost to Texas.” -- AB-H, 12/27/23

I know you are speaking of the CFA Bowl as a major fall for SC but I think a bowl should be measured by the trip/environment for fans and players. The money is somewhat irrelevant since it is split into so many pieces so the CFA, to me, isn’t much of a fall at all. It has become one of my favorites every year and is a great time for game viewing. If I do venture out on New Year’s Eve these days it is usually to a small dinner party and the game is always on. Worst places to be than ATL for travel and things to do.
Admittedly, Duke isn’t very exciting as an opponent but it should allow the over rated Cocks a win. Although delusional Cock fans don’t realize it but them being in a bowl at all is over achieving for them as a program, don’t get above your raising. They aren’t far removed from having every holiday season open for them and their players, or heading for Birmingham, Memphis, or some other cold weather place. Big bowls just aren’t a part of their history so don’t act shocked.

The CFA is as much of a fall for SC as the Citrus was for UT. Sauce for the goose is what I’m speaking of…

Senator I agree with both the good points about the CFA Bowl, and the turnaround on Spurrier. There’s also the offense (not deep enough) to the South Carolina fan base that thinks of their team as an E-LEET program nowadays. The Chik-Fil-A Bowl is beneath Jadeveon Clowney, the best player in the universe of all time.

Even if they just fall to the Outback, that’s also as much of a fall for SC as the Citrus was for UT. Either way they’re a top 10 team that won’t be playing for much.

The chickens are really imposters posing as a top 10 team. Mizzou had ’em dead to rights and then made the mistake of taking the foot off the gas, letting the ‘cocks back in the game. USCe should be 9-3 at best.

I agree, Mac. I’ve been to two CFA Bowls, UGA/VT and LSU/Clem, and I had a great time at both. The game usually has a good turnout and the matchup is typically good, as well. Doesn’t hurt that they give out those little stuffed cows and free chicken biscuit coupons, either (at least not as far as I’m concerned.)

I just hate that they call it the CFA Bowl. All my life, I loved going to the Peach Bowl. It never mattered who made it to the bowl. One of my favorite family Holiday Traditions and some of my best holiday memories are of being in Bobby Dodd stadium and looking up at all the holiday lights in my City. Lord, I love Atlanta.

Well…as long as we are nitpicking about changing names…back when they played the “Peach Bowl”, they were still called Christmas lights…
You got your hang-ups on name changes and I’ve got mine, I guess.

I’ve seen a few projections matching them with UCF. Who struggled to beat Temple and a bad USF. Saban has never scored 70 on a team but it could happen there.

Is it ironic that you can actually spell the word Citrus from South Carolina?
South Carolina is in a sticky spot because they went to the Outback last season.
Bama is a virtual lock for BCS at-large.
Winner of Auburn/Mizzou goes to Sugar. (I hope…I would love to hear the Auburns whine about getting ‘left out’ of the championship game)
If Auburn loses, no way Cap One passes on them.
However, Mizzou could be different…they haven’t traveled as well in the past so there is some uncertainty there. Might not be an issue with such a big season and the novelty and such, but that would be the only way I could see Carolina moving into a better bowl than the CFA.

Hilarious……. but agree that if you fall in bowl picks, the CFA is where you want to be. For my money, this bowl delivers every year. Easy to get to, great venue, always sold out and the pride factor of ACC vs. SEC makes the game competitive and spirited crowd. Really hope UGA plays Michigan in the Gator…… beyond that, I was hoping UGA would play Miami in the CFA.

Man, Auburn really cacked it up for the Cocks. I figured after Bama trounced AU, then SC would get the Sugar Bowl. Oh well.
As a Georgia fan, since we’ve been to Shreveport AND Memphis since the last time we were in NOLA, I’m not going to laugh at anybody for making the Peach Bowl.

I find it deliciously ironic that Missouri has been in the league two years and has just as many SECCG appearances as the Chickens. Not to mention that for the third year in a row USCe beats the eventual East division winner.
