It strikes me that they're sort of a classic mid-major. They go 1-2 in non-conference play (beating some 1-aa school and taking 2 payday games at Nebraska or LSU et.al.), and are in the top half of their conference, which almost always is enough to put them in a bowl game. Apparently they have 18 consecutive winning seasons, but have never been ranked in the Top Ten.

I think it's incredibly dick to make college kids play/cheerlead on Christmas Eve at 11:00pm. That really irritates me.

The game kicked off @ 3:00 local time, and involved a solid vacation in Hawaii. Seems like a reasonable consolation prize. It would suck to play the Motor City Bowl on Christmas Eve, but the Hawaii Bowl doesn't seem like a terrible deal.

I saw a few minutes of the game, and at first thought how terrible to have no fans and to play so late. Then it occurred to me that it was much earlier in the day, in Hawaii. I no longer felt sorry for them after that thought.

SEC schedule for next year just got announced. UGA has a pretty straightforward path back to the SEC championship. THREE cupcake games next year, no tough OOC games, and we play Missouri and Ol' Miss from the West. No Arkansas, LSU, or Bama. Don't play South Carolina until Week 6 (which will be weird).

UGA has had a pretty tough OOC slate the last few years. OK State twice (home and away), Arizona State, Boise St among others.

Georgia plays one of the tougher OOC schedules, almost always scheduling 2 BCS conference opponents in addition to 2 cupcakes. Most of the SEC schools just play one BCS opponent OOC (as do many of the other top programs).

I've seen more defense in flag football games than in the Alamo Bowl.

Much more entertaining when TD's are scored instead of field goals that ends the game at 6-3.

One unbelievable quarterback, one soon-to-be great quarterback and two awful defenses. Who cares, it's fun.

I demand only one thing over second tier bowl games -- be like this one.

I'm a football philistine, I could not give a shit if every bowl game is like this one.
