They should open a Bowls on Hillsborough Street.

The General Mills Bowls Bowl

1. nashville
2. charlotte
3. ...

11/27/2011 11:11:14 AM

I would prefer the bowl that has the most Sheetz along the way.

"Wrong. The honkey tonks are only in downtown nashville and are great if you're into that kind of thing (im not) . The gulch, 12th street and vandy area and belmont areas all have much better atmospheres. The gaylord hotel and convention center offers tons to do and there are tons of historic sites and parks to see in nashville. It truly beats the shit out of charlotte in every aspect."

Okay, I've been to all of those places and I still think Nashville is boring and uninteresting, sorry. Just an overpriced tourist trap for country music fans no matter where you go.

11/27/2011 1:08:11 PM

Charlotte and Raleigh do not hold a torch to it.

11/27/2011 1:25:19 PM

I'm hoping for Nashville because I've never been and would love an excuse to get out there. I'd also be happy with the Independence Bowl if I could make it to New Orleans

ugh, I really don't want to play any of these teams

11/27/2011 3:12:34 PM

I want Nashville. Will turn it into a new years eve trip. Wouldn't be mad at Charlotte or new orleans or dc tho

11/27/2011 3:22:48 PM

from the sounds of that article, we are pretty much a lock for charlotte. oh well. nashville would be really fun.

11/27/2011 3:24:06 PM

The belk bowl reps were at the game and they said State was their #1 choice.

11/27/2011 3:56:47 PM

I spoke with Independence bowl reps at the tailgate

I chatted with the Orange Bowl reps at the south endzone urinals.

I mean, do you even read this thread?

11/27/2011 5:15:10 PM

a girl in sports talk ... hell yeahs

so the sun bowl picks before the belk bowl, whats the chances they'd pick us?

11/27/2011 6:11:02 PM

of course but i didn't refresh the thread when I posted it.....

11/27/2011 6:11:05 PM

^^According to the AJC, the Sun Bowl is very high on GT even after the UGA game.

11/27/2011 6:27:05 PM

I imagine the name recognition from being in the polls most of the season has them hoping people will buy tickets because their fanbase sure doesnt travel

I'm just tired of playing the big east, our last three bowl games have been against big east teams

[Edited on November 27, 2011 at 6:29 PM. Reason : .]

11/27/2011 6:28:36 PM

I have ZERO interest in going back to El Paso.

11/27/2011 6:29:45 PM

Regardless of where we go bowling, below is a great deal for an AD military. I may even make a separate thread for it.

11/27/2011 6:43:24 PM

so they get 6 free tickets??? damn that is a good deal

11/27/2011 6:49:58 PM

to watch UNC play football? Negative. Sell the bitches and profit.

11/27/2011 8:39:18 PM

ESPN just updated their bowl projections. Both seem to like us going to Nashville

http://espn.go.com/college-football/bowls

11/27/2011 8:52:10 PM

I really don't see Belk passing us up for Virginia, but I may be wrong.

11/27/2011 8:55:29 PM

Yeah especially with our comeback vs Maryland and VT demolishing UVA. Some of it might come down to the Big East situation though. Just have to wait and see.

11/27/2011 9:00:17 PM

looks like those guys are just putting us in the order of the conference standings?

11/27/2011 9:06:45 PM

Dinich has us in Charlotte, therefore it is in stone

11/27/2011 9:13:21 PM

the only way I can see them taking virginia is if they really want cincinatti over louisville but that's not likely

11/27/2011 9:14:32 PM

I would be very surprised if we don't go to the Belk Bowl. We haven't been to charlotte in a while, close to Raleigh, exciting wins to finish the season...

11/27/2011 9:14:57 PM

belk bowl would be alright if we had a rematch with west virginia.. and the good nc state showed up

don't care much for playing louisville or rutgers

11/27/2011 10:12:14 PM

Which team of the lot has the hottest potential bowl spectators? My vote goes with that team.

11/27/2011 10:18:21 PM

definitely not rutgers, then. all rutgers bitches i've seen are loud and gross.

11/27/2011 10:19:36 PM

Louisville, WVU, and Rutgahs have annoying Marylandesque fan bases. Only time I saw a lot of UL fans was the year they were in the Orange Bowl vs Wake. Good news is WVU is the only one that will probably travel well to Charlotte.

11/27/2011 10:37:33 PM

wvu is probably gonna win the big east barring a giant choke job

11/27/2011 10:39:32 PM

And it's not like WVU has done any giant choke jobs in the last few years that cost them the Big East championship.

That'd be unheard of!

11/28/2011 9:12:29 AM

i want the belk. charlotte is so damn... convenient.

11/28/2011 9:26:20 AM

Independence Bowl

Shreveport is the only place on the list with gambling. That's much more fun than visiting your in-laws for the game or trying to find out which bars in Nashville aren't tourist bars.

11/28/2011 9:34:23 AM

That would be the least desirable bowl in terms of payout and match up so I don't know why you would want your team going there.

11/28/2011 9:46:17 AM

Louisville, ugh. A few years back we had Pitt during the regular season and beat them, UNC played them in their bowl game that year and lost. I had a nice time ribbing a few fans over that.

UNC beat Louisville during the regular season this year, I'd sure hate to lose to them in a bowl game. I can hear it now

11/28/2011 9:47:52 AM

1. Payout doesn't affect me
2. Air Force could be an opponent
3. Bowls are meant to be a vacation, and Charlotte is a shit vacation unless you're a NASCAR FAN.

VROOM VROOM!

11/28/2011 9:48:09 AM

^^
If only you had something adequate to counter their ribbing.
