Great info/write up from CHARLOTTEsports on the GT/USC game in case anyone in here wanted to see it...
wow, the pregame drama. This is going to be one of the best bowl games to watch for me as the pregame drama has been at an all time high for this one. As soon as I saw this matchup, my initial thought was this: a bunch of premadonna, lane kiffin coached kids who most of which will prob be in the nfl aren't going to want to be getting chop blocked at the line of scrimmage in a cold, windy, possibly rainy bowl game I'd be willing to bet on that. Some of the players took to Twitter after their postseason destination was announced, ranking on El Paso. And, upon arriving, at least one player was chided for posting less-than-complimentary comments about the city on Twitter. "Sorry about what I said last night. It came out wrong. I'm so grateful to be a part of this bowl and looking forward to a great game," Williams said in the apology. "I was saying I'm just proud to be here with my family. ... I also think the people in El Paso are very welcoming and made me feel at home. Once again I apologize for speaking with out thinking." that type of behaviour should transfer well to the football field. We've seen in the past that teams unhappy with their destination tend to be sluggish and unenthusiastic. GT felt disrespected when USC failed to show up to the Sheriff's Posse Dinner on time, leading Johnson to take his team and leave after waiting on head coach Lane Kiffin and the Trojans for over 90 minutes. hahahahaha, really? this is awesome. paul johnson is a devious a s s hole and i know the chop blocking will be at its finest tonight. i bet there are going to be a lot "injuries" on the USC d line as they are going to fear for their nfl careers. usc only covered 3 times this year, granted most of the time they were big favs, but they just never played like they were a boss and kiffen has a lot to do with that i think. gt hasn't won a bowl game in i don't know how long, but i certainly like their chances tonight in what looks to be an extremely windy city and stadium, not good for a team that likes to whip the ball around. ga tech ended the season on a good spread run and usc didn't. usc lost 4 of their last 5 games, after opening the season dreaming of a heisman trophy winning qb and a trip to miami, they ended up in El Paso with their back up qb and their future starting before their season has ended. I call in to question the motivation of this team more than any bowl game to date. this bowl game might generate a crowd for ga tech just by the way usc has been acting since they've been in el paso. i know 1 team is happy to be here after petitioning the ncaa to get here, hahah, yes, they really had to do that b/c of their losing record. i'm not blind to the talent on offense for usc; however, as ga tech has been marginal at best defensively and we know the talent at receiver for usc, usc might score just by being on the field, but again, i don't think their d line wants any part of the chop blocking they are going to have to battle.
Ga Tech +7.5 -120
