Bradley’s Buzz: ESPN’s Lowe sees UGA in the Chick-fil-A
"Just look at those waffle fries falling from the sky!" (AJC photo by Brant Sanderlin)
From Shreveport, La., to Northside Drive? According to Chris Lowe of ESPN.com, Georgia is apt to be invited to the Chick-fil-A Bowl, which if memory serves is played here in Atlanta. (Full disclosure: I’m sitting in the Dome as I type.) Here’s Lowe’s rationale:
“The Outback gets first choice out of the [non-BCS SEC teams] East and the Cotton first choice out of the West after the Capital One selects. But since Ole Miss went to the Cotton Bowl last year, there may be a deal worked out where the Rebels go to the Outback this year and Tennessee to the Cotton. The Vols finished in a tie with Georgia for second place in the East, but beat the Bulldogs head-to-head.
“The Chick-fil-A Bowl also has a tough choice. South Carolina became a lot more attractive with its win over Clemson. But with Georgia beating Georgia Tech, there will be a lot of pressure to keep the Bulldogs close to home there in Atlanta. Plus, Georgia beat South Carolina head-to-head and finished a game better than the Gamecocks in the SEC standings.”
Me, I’m not so sure. I think there’s a chance Georgia ends up in Nashville. But there are so many 7-5 SEC teams — six, if you’re counting, four of them from the Eastern Division — that these middle-tier bowls could wind up drawing names out of a hat.

I read in the Atlanta J-C a couple of weeks ago that Paul Johnson was the second coming of Bear Bryant. I can’t remember who wrote that, but he appears to be a genius now. I’ve read on the blogs all year that there is a “new sheriff in town”. My question is – Where was he Saturday night?

Maybe your home games will be good, but the mutts will have their tails between their legs when they get back from the road.
…..That was a short turn for the worm.

GT plays next week!! Yes with three weeks off between your WF win and the ACC championship game you guys should be primed and ready to beat Clemson. Congrats on a 10 win season. And yes have fun in Miami you should have your pick of seats once you get into the stadium. Hope you didn’t order your tickets yet you might miss out on the free hotdogs and coke promotion they will have to run.

gatech12, yes things are back to normal in the state of Georgia. What kind of contract extension will PJ get for that game Saturday? What style of rings did you order for that one? Fluke? Oh no! Look out your window there goes Caleb for ANOTHER 75 yards. OR wait was it Washaun blurring the #24? Chop blocks, blahhhhh, you play mean, waaahhh! You got your arses handed to you so quit whining. You guys beat us by 3 last year “barely” and called it an a$$ whoopin for a solid year. Well double that on you this year.
ACC Champions = 4th place in the SEC East.

Mark, What about UGA v. UNC in the Chik-fila bowl? That would seem to have potential for a good draw considering that Atlanta is home to numerous alums from both schools.

You tech losers, who acted like you had won the natioanl championship last year after your fluke win (see rings and constant score reminders), be reminded that all is right with the world of college football in Georgia again. I used to just be relieved when we beat the bumbles time-after-time, but I actually really enjoyed this one.
Thanks For Playing, and this just in, another tech player just got hurt.

There have been a few classy remarks from GT bloggers on here. Those from “gatech12″ are NOT included in the above and are more typical of what we hear. Fluke? Right? If it makes you feel better, just keep saying it. You and your friends will eventually believe it!

Congrats to the Dawgs. You deserved to win on Saturday although I’m sorry to see the Jackets lose focus on what could have been a magical season. As it is, they still have lots to play for.
I haven’t read much of these blogs but it does appear that the UGA faithful are trying hard to catch up on the previous 12 months of taunts from Jacket fans. I’m not one of them by the way. Tech has a large alumni group here in Silicon Valley and we had about 60 people at Jillian’s on Saturday. We didn’t get the result that we were looking for but it was still a great event.
To all my fellow Jacket fans in Atlanta, hang in there! The Dawgs are enjoying some celebration and some payback. I must say that we are lucky out here. The Bay Area and Silicon Valley are Dawg-free zones. We never have to see the G-logo out here and Tech fans are everywhere, and highly respected locally. Looking forward to seeing my fellow Jackets in Tampa on Saturday. Go Jackets!

You can find Tech fans in Silicon Valley, but you can’t find them filling thier stadium every game? That’s funny. Check Widespread Panic out when they play the San Fran area, and I promise, you will see a lot of DAWG fans!

I disagree with Lowe. We are headed to Nashville.
Chick-fil-a does not want a rematch with VA Tech and there is no way to exclude VA Tech from this game.
South Carolina and VA Tech is an intriguing matchup. I see the Dawgs playing the Heels in Nashville.

I wouldn’t say the UGA and South Carolina wins officially prove that the SEC is great – Ga Tech did throttle other SEC teams like Miss St and Vandy. However, lets be real – ACC football is LAME!!!

Outback can take a team from the west, but only after the Cotton has it’s choice of the west first. Looks like all the talk about the Cotton and Outback switching picks (Tennessee for Ole Miss) had very little to do with the Cotton. Looks like the Outback really wanted a team from the west and not Tennessee.

I’ve often wondered if it were ever possible for Tech and UGA to meet for a rematch in the Peach/Chick Fil A Bowl. Would the CFA Bowl committee even consider it? Hoping the Jackets win on Saturday and earn a spot in the Orange but one does wonder?

The Dawgs sure seem to have forgotten their place in this world of football. You may own Tech but you are our beyatches!!!! Like CPJ said what have the Dawgs done since 1980? Good record against tech yes. Lets look at the SEC- We have owned you winning 19 of 30. You are 14 and 15 against Auburn and 9 and 13 against TENN. Maybe you should move the the A She She so you can compete for something other than 3rd place in your division!!!!
