Look at the box from last years game. The 'home' team alternates between conferences each year. So if the ACC team was home last year, they'll be the away this year. 11/30/2005 2:23:31 PM |

I dunno. I didn't think they were extending bids until after the championship game. He's talked with a few already from my understanding. 11/30/2005 3:32:34 PM |

Although it won't be official for a couple days, Lee Fowler in the Raycom office makes me think we are their choice. 11/30/2005 3:33:41 PM |

I just posted the link to the bowl's website because their site doesn't have any announcement about State getting an invite. 11/30/2005 3:37:33 PM |
erudite All American 3194 Posts user info edit post |
Here's what I was saying:
My office is in the same building as Raycom.
Lee Fowler was in their office today (saw him leave ~1pm in a 300m, I was coming back from lunch).
Not sure he would stop by their office just to say hello - figure we have a good shot. A friend at RBC Centura says they want State there (RBC is a sponsor even though it is in the BofA Stadium). 11/30/2005 3:41:58 PM |

the peach bowl wont listen to swofford, they take clemson. FSU to champs bowl. State in charlotte.
the only way imo we are going to boise is if BC goes to the peach. I don't think that's happening. 11/30/2005 3:45:38 PM |

ding ding ding!
This is the facts...Car Care's #1 choice is Clemson, #2 NCSU....that is it. They haven't even been in talks with anyone else. The only thing that could screw us to Charlotte up is if the Outback Bowl doesn't take South Carolina...once USC to Outback is final...Clemson to peach will become officail meaning we are a lock to Charlotte.
The Peach has been recieving pressure from the ACC Commish to take BC but they are afraid they won't sellout in the even that Georgia beats LSU in the SEC title game which would be in the same building. LSU probably would travel well enough for a 2nd straight game in ATL to offset BC's crappy travel.
To sum up...unless FSU wins and Peach get Miami or VT we "should" consider it a done deal. Even if FSU wins that may just force Clemson to Champs in Orlando and we still go Charlotte.
Id say right now the odds for us are as follows:
75% Charlotte 12.5% Boise 10% Nashville 2.5% San Fran
I am very confident in NCSU to Charlotte if I am getting good info.11/30/2005 4:02:40 PM |

its more of a deal between Boise and Charlotte, think the Boise game to atheletics is more high profile because they claim today that people will think back to last years ECU game in charlotte and look at the #'s there. They want us to play a high profile team as well to get good media coverage and get our name out more. SO i think considering the talk lately its between Boise and Charlotte, Charlotte is our secure place, we are just lookin at others first. 11/30/2005 4:07:23 PM |
1234chs All American 2574 Posts user info edit post |
^um no
We are trying to avoid Boise like the plague...It helps nothing to have no fans follow us and get our tails whipped by Boise State on their home blue turf. That game is on a Wednesday at 4:30 (while most are still at work) and in no way will that "get our name out there."
Charlotte would be ideal for practice time...location for fans...ability to have recruits at the game...etc..etc...etc.
Although USF would not be as good of an opponent compared to Boise State, playing in your Home state would help with recruiting...ala UNC this year.
Boise is our last ditch...if we have to type thing. I know we should be thankful to get any bowl this year but we are not a sure thing for Charlotte and thinking about Boise...more the other way around. We really want Charlotte and if Clemson ends up there then we fall back to Boise.
I don't think the ECU game is realivant at all...We had just lost 3 in a row and eliminated ourselves from the Bowl picture and still had more fans there than any Big East team has ever brought to a Tire Bowl. We have won 4 out of 5 to finish this year and we can all really get excited about playing New Years Eve and enjoy the thought that the team will benefit BIG TIME for the extra practices to prepare for next year.

I would go to either Charlotte or Nashville, but I don't think I could afford to go to Boise. I will NOT ever travel to San Fran due to their stance on certain issues (I refuse to contribute money to their economy). 11/30/2005 4:50:05 PM |

Maybe San Fran doesn't want the same protection the military was able to offer NYC on 9/11?
And that protection wasn't even during a war where 120k+ troops are in Iraq/Afghanistan.

^Thanks, Bill O'Reilly.
Get an original argument.
Btw, the law that was voted on in SF does not BAN military recruiting, it just makes it more difficult to get into public schools and recruit poor kids. 11/30/2005 5:25:47 PM |

Regardless of who wins the SEC Championship, Auburn is definitly going to the Capital One (Citrus) Bowl and S.C. is definitly going to the Outback Bowl. If Georgia loses to LSU, Georgia goes to the Peach and plays either Clemson or B.C. If Georgia wins, Alabama goes to the Peach (LSU to the Cotton) and plays Clemson or GT. 12/1/2005 8:29:33 AM |
