UPDATE: Confirmed Bowl Game - UK to the TaxSlayer Bowl

[catfaninin]

They only won 4 games didn't they? I was about to post they could though the APR thing but then I realized they maybe only won 4 games?

Not sure of the number, but not very many.

There should be a bowl for the two worst teams. Sounds nuts I know but I bet it would get good ratings. Might even help them financially. I would probably look at it just for the heck of it.

Why not? There's a bowl for just about everyone else.

[Chaz]

I stand corrected. In fact, our opponent could even be Notre Dame.

The link you posted is the bowl tie-ins. The ACC and the BIG each send a rep to the bowl
3 years out of 6, This year is the ACC not BIG. So, no Iowa. Besides, the Pres of the TaxSlayer Bowl
tweeted yesterday that if Bama wins Saturday, UK is at the top of his list. and it has been said possible opponents
were 4 ACC teams.

One thing's for sure, if we play Iowa, we won't be playing in the TaxSlayer Bowl.

Iowa played Tennessee there 2 years ago.

Thanks Chaz. I feel vindicated as that was what I had originally posted.

Matt, any of the four you listed could bring their own particular headaches to the game. The Yellow jackets sure ended the season on a high. Miami brings an old Cat stomper in Richt. (I REALLY think the powers that be want Richt to coach against Georgia).
Virginia Tech brings a lotta history. North Carolina......well....we played one crew that should be on probation, may as well another.

If we see the Cats go Tax Slayer, it'll be a tough game.....but no worse than Alabama or Louisville.

Agree. if we play the way we did against U of L, we should be able to hold our own against most teams.

And there's no reason to think we won't. This team is playing with an intensity and determination we've not seen in awhile. The coaches are doing their homework and preparing a game plan that's working. Johnson is maturing and getting better each game, and the OL is good. We will compete.

Of the teams mentioned, the one that concerns me the most is Virginia Tech. Their QB is very good and they are very physical. I think the other three all present unique challenges for our defense. Ga Tech obviously with their triple option, Miami's air attack, but with a streaky QB, and North Carolina's offense can be explosive but can also be hot and cold. I do not think any of the three are as physical as Va Tech. Of the four, I think NC has the least imposing defense. But, we will all know more in a couple of days.

[Westtncat]

KSR now saying Georgia Tech. That will be a tough game for us if it happens. Third team I have seen so who knows.

[Matt Dillon]

It's looking as if we should know by between 3:00-3:30. It's looking like it's definitely going to be the TaxSlayer Bowl pitting us against either Ga. Tech or Miami.

It's official, we've got Ga. Tech in the TaxSlayer Bowl.

[Lighthouse]

Well, if anybody can figure out how to defend the option, it could be Stoops.

[George]

How do you figure? Not being smart; genuinely curious.

[40bill]

I'll chime in.
Might as well be Mark Stoops.

What an achievement.
Wow.
