Complete BS...

This article talks about the bowl situation and basically says that the Continental Tire Bowl doesn't want GT and that the MPC Computer Bowl (aka Humanitarian Bowl) wouldn't want GT again and that we would probably slide to one of the at-large bids opened by the PAC10 not filling their slots.

The Tire Bowl basically says we're out:

"It's just so confusing this year," said Continental Tire Bowl Director Will Webb.

The most likely destinations for North Carolina and Clemson, should they become eligible, are the Continental Tire and MPC Computer (formerly Humanitarian) bowls.

Webb said Georgia Tech (6-3) isn't in the mix for the Continental Tire Bowl now. MPC Computers Bowl executive director Gary Beck said that given a choice, his bowl likely would invite Clemson or North Carolina ahead of Georgia Tech because the Yellow Jackets traveled to Boise, Idaho, for that game last season.

"I think the ACC prefers not to send a team back to the bowl they were in the year before," Beck said.

If Georgia Tech fails to secure one of those bids, it could slide past the Continental Tire and MPC Computers bowls to an at-large bid in a slot the Pac-10 or SEC can't fill. Possibilities include the Las Vegas, Emerald, Houston and Silicon Valley bowls.

I cannot tell you how disappointing that is. I was looking forward to the possibility of going to Charlotte. And that is complete BS about the ACC not wanting to send a team to the same bowl twice. Heck, Virginia has just done two stints at the Tire Bowl.

If Georgia Tech finishes ahead of Clemson and North Carolina in the rankings and we do NOT end up at an east coast bowl, I will be pissed. Flat out.

However, having vented a bit, our destiny is in our hands. The team can take care of business this weekend and take that choice away. Beat the Hoos and we WILL be in an east coast bowl.

I will have a bowl analysis later in the day. I've already written most of it but will have to modify a few things after this article.
