Boy, here’s a ringing endorsement from Georgia’s athletic director:
“I would be more concerned it if were the same city, same site. For our players and staff, they’ve never really spent more than one night, actually never in Jacksonville. It’s always been St. Augustine. Heck, we play teams every year regardless. We play Auburn every year, we play (Georgia) Tech every year. In that case, people have always turned out in great numbers.”
I don’t know about you, but that comment doesn’t exactly give me goosebumps.
I was prepared to go all “if you don’t want a disappointing bowl opponent, Dawgs, don’t lose to Vanderbilt” on you this morning, but there might be an actual villain to blame for not getting the Georgia-Michigan meeting many of us were hoping for in Jacksonville.
Believe it or not, it sounds like Georgia’s bowl woes can be blamed on Kansas State head coach Bill Snyder. No, really.
It was an up-and-down day as we awaited the official announcement. We expected Nebraska, then we were cruelly teased with the prospect of facing off against Michigan. Then it switched back to Nebraska again, much to our dismay. But in the end, Bill Snyder avoided having to face a loose cannon who once nearly assaulted him on the sideline, and I wouldn’t be surprised to discover that this is what the negotiations ultimately revolved around.
Bill Snyder doesn’t like Bo Pelini. At all. So we get Bo instead, for the second straight year.
You know, Snyder is well-known for writing letters. Maybe he should consider writing our fan base one.
Meh. Could care less about playing Nebraska again. And I can fully believe the story about Pellini. He’s a world class asshole of the Urban Cryer variety.

From reading the game recap I really don’t see anything terrible that K-State did in this 03 game. They were up 10 going into the 4th quarter on the road at Lincoln.

I know Pelini was mad about the starters being in for K-State, but up 22 points it’s not absurd to have starters in the game IMO.

The whole system is the problem. Beating Vandy might have gotten us the CFA Bowl vs. Duke or the Outback vs. Iowa or, God forbid, another match-up with Wisconsin. My hope is next year it will be better, as I think more conference involvement is a good thing. For instance, if the conference were looking at all the best possible story-lines, the the best options were:
LSU vs. Michigan (Les vs. his alma mater) – in one of the Big 10/SEC bowls.
Duke vs. South Carolina in CFA (Spurrier vs. the team that gave him a chance and his old UT/UF nemesis, Cutcliffe) -OR- UGA vs. Miami (Richt vs his alma mater).
Mizzou vs. Nebraska (That ol’ Big 8 feeling, and a match-up that is a decent by-gone rivalry)
Vandy vs. Duke or GT (nerds vs. nerds)
The problem is it’s a grab and go and there’s no cooperation between the conference an bowls. I’m hopeful next year will be better. One thing that will help is we won’t be limited by how many SEC teams are in the big bowls. In next year’s scenario, South Carolina would be in the Orange Bowl vs. Ohio St. You’re going to have 2 semi-final bowls and 4 access bowls. In most years, we’ll have 1-2 in the playoffs and one in nearly every access bowl except maybe the Rose and sometimes Fiesta.
It’s the current system that stinks. 1 more win would have gotten us Iowa or Duke. 2 more wins would have gotten us back to Cap 1 vs. Wisconsin for the 34th time. Maybe we could have squeaked into Dallas, but the don’t seem to want UGA, UF or South Carolina. If you don’t go to a BCS bowl, you’re stuck. Even then, you end up playing UCF or Hawaii.
