What's Buzzin' in Football

QUOTE OF THE DAY
From Coach Gailey.

"There was initial disappointment because it's so much tougher for our families and our fans to get to the games," Gailey said. "I don't think it was this bowl or San Francisco. I think it was just the thought of having to travel so far. If San Francisco were in south Alabama, I think it would be fine."

WRITERS PLAY ON WORDS
You know how writers use cutesy plays-on-words? I think Tony Barnhardt had one of the best in his recent article about the weird bowl situation. He said the bowl picking scenario is about dollars, not sense........ Wish I would have thought of that.


WROTTO - THE D-TO-THE-O
..... and ya don't stop........ The earth mover - Mansfield Wrotto, looks like he'll play both offense and defense during our bowl game, although Coach Gailey won't say how much. There's no doubt his future is on the O-Line and had it not been for the losses of Travis Parker (academics) and Daryl Richard (injury), that's where he would have been this season. I can't wait to see him line-up at right tackle.


WILKINSON TO PLAY IN SHRINE BOWL
This is the East/West Shrine game in San Antonio Texas.


REVENUE SHARING
Interesting article on the bowl profitability scenario for many schools. Lots of interesting details about revenue sharing and how the ACC chips in when it comes to ticket guarantees for schools like GT.
