Willy Mac on The Gator Bowl committee is reportedly 50-50 on whether to pick Clemson or Florida State to play Nebraska in the January 1st bowl game.
Factored into the debate were the Seminoles’ 45-15 loss to Florida Saturday (their third defeat in five games), Clemson’s 31-14 victory over South Carolina (its fourth victory in five games) and the fact that if selected for the Gator Bowl, FSU would be playing its third game in 15 months in Jacksonville, while Clemson, an eight-time participant in the Gator Bowl, hasn’t played in Jacksonville since 2001 and historically brings legions of fans to the game.
I think it’s an easy pick – Clemson. Hell, even Bill over at ScalpEm agrees. Let’s have a rematch of that 1982 Orange Bowl game.
And, yes, the faxing is underway.

The whole ACC bowl selection process gives me heartburn.

Normally I’d be all for facing a tough opponent like Nebraska, but right now I just want a win to finish this season and put us in a good spot for recruiting. The payout is nice but thumping a Big Ten team in the Tangerine would be preferable to me (I know its always possible we get killed, this is Clemson). I’m sure alot of people will disagree with me but thats how I see it.
Nebraska’s offense is playing really well right now. They took TT to the wire and lost by 5 to VT. The defense is suspect.

That there’s coward’s talk, Charlie.
Clemson’s colors are Orange and White and they don’t run.
If you want to be yellow you should have have gone to Georgia Tech.

While it would be awesome to go to the Gator, I don’t feel we deserve it. We are 7-5, lost to FSU, got blown out in a game against top competition, played two FCS teams (though one did make the playoffs), fired our coach, and have been talents at shitting the bed as of late in bowl games. My two cents..

Your logic and facts mean nothing to me.
I want us to go to the best bowl possible because I think we can hang. I think we are a much better at the end of this season than we were at the end of last.
I don’t think we’ll make the Gator bowl, though. It would be cool to have a rematch.

The Gator Bowl? Fuck. I hate the Gator Bowl. And Jacksonville.
Oh well, at least Jacksonville is better than Boise or DC. And I can say “Gator Bowl” without feeling the shame that comes along with Meineke Car Care Bowl, Gaylord Hotels Music City Bowl, Roady’s Humanitarian Bowl, or EagleBank Bowl (WTF is EagleBank?)

I tried to bank with EagleBank but I was booed and had snowballs thrown at me. The institution smelled vaguely of cheesesteak and scrapple.

I kinda wanted to go to Orlando myself. Those gigantic turkey legs at Disney World are calling my name.

Is that Arsenio Hall in your picture Chili? Or is that Urkle?
Gator Bowl > Champs Sports/EagleBank/Humiliation Bowl.
One problem with Gator Bowl though for those who won’t be attending the game. Since Toyota sponsors the game, we will have to sit through those ‘Saved by Zero’ commercials that they will be playing ad nauseum.

@12 It still looks like the dude from Different World on my screen. Maybe Gravatar takes a bit to update.

On the radio they’re saying that the Gator Bowl has already decided and it looks pretty good for Clemson.

If Dabo can win the Gator Bowl he’ll do something his predecessor never could. Would be a great way to begin a career.

The fax of the two dollar bills is great. Tacky as hell but gets the point across.

I want us to get the Gator, but it’d be hilarious if they dropped us because they were sick of the faxes and shit.

Amazing how the 2 dollar bill has now become synonymous with Clemson football traveling fans. I am sure that the Gator boys are drooling at the prospect of two better known traveling teams in Nebraska and Clemson though. It seems like a bit of a long shot to me though.

I’m not scared of Nebraska. They’ve sucked ever since they abandoned the triple option and walk-on promotions.

@18 Someone just sent me an email from tigernet requesting I send one of these faxes.it brags about how tigernetters “blew up” two fax machines to get us in the humanitarian bowl. How embarrassing that we had to bug the shit out of them for us to go to Boise. lmao.
