College Football Georgia Tech v Bahstahn College

Anyone heading to this? Can't wait for it.

This will be very one sided, no?

[AZOffaly]

Well, both had bad years last year (3-9) but that would appear to have been a bad blip for Georgia Tech, who would have higher expectations. Boston College should be a bit below that, but Vegas has (I think) the line at just 3.5 points, so that would be good.

The fact that it's a conference game (which is brilliant) and is the first game, on a neutral site (where most fans will probably support BC) makes it a bit more of a toss up.

[magpie seanie]

Are BC in the SEC or am I confusing my Georgia's?

[AZOffaly]

You're mixing up your Georgias. University of Georgia, the Bulldogs, are in the SEC. Georgia Tech, the Yellowjackets, are in the ACC. Georgia Tech went 11-3 in 2014, but 3-9 last year. Megatron went to Georgia Tech.

Must be the best finish to a college football game ever. (And I know about the Band etc)

Cheers. Explains why I thought it would be a mismatch and partly why I wasn't too bothered about tickets. Will it be on TV?

I remember that afterwards. Alabama had had a kick blocked earlier on, and were paranoid about getting a block again, so the put in their Jumbo package. That's fine, but if the kick doesn't go dead, you suddenly are a bit exposed in terms of chasing down anyone
