Andy HumphreyHOST
they were...
Andy HumphreyHOST
I'm trying to remember if they were the AP 25 or 24 going into the Gator Bowl.
Andy HumphreyHOST
Can't quite remember, but, um, but like you're right on that line.
Andy HumphreyHOST
Uh, eight and four might be enough to get you into a 2014 field going down the line, but this year, obviously not.
7 MINS LATER
DrakeUNKNOWN
Sure
Andy HumphreyHOST
... "Well then yeah, those, those games mean even less now because they're even more guaranteed money." And like, you're right, that's fine, and that does kind of lose some of its luster.
Andy HumphreyHOST
The payback will come when the, the Gator Bowl actually means something, or the Liberty Bowl actually involves teams that are playing against each other.
Andy HumphreyHOST
Now they're not gonna, they're not gonna have those bowl games be the, the, uh, the actual playoff matchups because it's gonna be home sites first two weekends.
MarkAUDIENCE
Why not a Florida game? You know, Florida Bowl.
MarkAUDIENCE
Gator Bowl.
MarkAUDIENCE
You know, Gator, you know, okay.
MarkAUDIENCE
I think it would be, they'd have to have a major collapse.
Josh GrahamHOST
It used to be there were bowl games that you would participate in that were not CFP games, that were not BCS games before the CFP, and you'd still feel great about your season even if you weren't in the BCS game.
Josh GrahamHOST
If you played in the Holiday Bowl, which has history, or the Gator Bowl, or the Alamo Bowl.
Josh GrahamHOST
Let's go back 15 years ago.
Josh GrahamHOST
Robert Griffin III was set to be a top five pick in the draft.
Steve WestHOST
...
Steve WestHOST
in the Gator Bowl some 46 years ago, doesn't that count as a contribution, Buck, to the program?
Buck BelueHOST
Statute of limitations, I think, come into play there.
Steve WestHOST
No, there should be no, uh, statute of limitations on, "Lindsay Scott, Lindsay Scott!"
Buck BelueHOST
He's normally in front of the computer when I see the door open, uh.
Buck BelueHOST
Yeah, it's been branded the Invesco QQQ Atlanta Gridiron Classic, managed by AMB Sports + Entertainment.
Steve WestHOST
Well, this is, I would imagine, akin to, was it the '95 or '96 games between Georgia and Florida that were played on the respective campus sites while the combination of the Gator Bowl being renovated for the impending arrival of the Jacksonville Jaguars and, uh, Sanford Stadium undergoing some, uh, procedures for the upcoming Summer Olympic Games.
Steve WestHOST
So that was, like, gonna be a once in a generational, at the very least, kind of thing, having the Gators play in Athens, having the Dawgs play down in Gainesville.
Fred WhiteSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Anderson, who has just sparkled in bowl games the last two years.
Fred WhiteSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
In '80, he was the MVP in the Hall of Fame Bowl, in '81, the MVP in the Gator Bowl, and he said, "I don't know why, the breaks just seem to come my way in bowl games."
Paul MaguireSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
[laughs] Yeah.
Paul MaguireSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
He's just an excellent, he is an excellent football player, Freddie.
1 HR 55 MINS LATER
Paul MaguireSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
It is outstanding watching Jesse Clark, and that's also Charles Ginn, number 61, downfield getting a block.
Fred WhiteSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Anderson now has 139 yards on 21 carries.
Fred WhiteSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Gary Anderson, we've mentioned it earlier, was the MVP in the '80 Hall of Fame Bowl last year in the Gator Bowl.
Fred WhiteSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Wilbur Marshall on the stop that time.
Mike TiricoHOST
He's, uh, tied the most touchdowns ever scored in a bowl game by an LSU player.
Mike TiricoHOST
Wendell Davis once had a three-touchdown game in the '87 Gator Bowl against South Carolina.
Mike TiricoHOST
[哨音] [欢呼声] All right, so here's Kitna, one of 11 one-yard passes.
Mike TiricoHOST
His team's had the ball for five possessions.
Dan OrlovskyPANELIST
I think they're trying to avoid that last year with those two teams.
Dan OrlovskyPANELIST
Um, I do like it if, and there's a big if, okay? So one, we all know that part of this is to make the bowls matter again because no one wants s- and, or cares anymore about, you know, um, the Illinois versus Mississippi State in the Gator Bowl or whatever it is.
Shay CornettHOST
And a lot of kids don't play.
Dan OrlovskyPANELIST
Right.
Shannon the DudeHOST
I am 100% for this.
Shannon the DudeHOST
How many years have I gotten on this, be, been on these shows talking about the meaningless bowl games? What does it even mean to win the TaxSlayer Bowl or the Gasparilla Bowl? What does that even mean?
Billy RutledgeHOST
Man, you're so wrong.
Billy RutledgeHOST
You're so wrong about that, dude.
Shannon the DudeHOST
...
Shannon the DudeHOST
if you wanna make this actually have a meaning, put it in a playoff.
Shannon the DudeHOST
You can have these playoff games and call it the Bad Boys TaxSlayer Bowl if you want to.
Shannon the DudeHOST
That can still be a sponsored, quote unquote, "bowl game," but also be a playoff game that actually means something.
Brandon JosephHOST
... that is going to make less bowl games.
Brandon JosephHOST
Um, and we're not talking about the Gator Bowl or the Citrus Bowl going away.
Brandon JosephHOST
Those are still gonna be bowl games.
Brandon JosephHOST
They would just take, you know, the lower teams.
Austin OermanHOST
He dips, he goes back home to Miami, and then, uh, the Ducks get Dan Lanning.
Austin OermanHOST
We've talked about this before, the difference between where Nebraska and Clemson went after that Gator Bowl win.
Austin OermanHOST
Bo Pelini over Dabo Swinney.
Austin OermanHOST
These two programs, Nebraska and Oregon, have traveled much [laughs] different paths since the last time Nebraska beat them here at Lincoln.
