The 2013 Bowl Selection Vigil

[matt1]

Is this official? Duke vs. Georgia in the CFA Bowl?

We are in that bowl, but the source I am following has not yet confirmed our opponent.

[dukebballcamper90-91]

The only reason I would like Russell bowl over CFA is because of the basketball game vs Elon that day.

[OldPhiKap]

The Commish is not in my inner circle.

Too bad, but that means more tea, nuggets and fries for you, me and the OPK.

If DiBD is not on the Commish's speed dial, she should be.

I'll bring something to pair with nuggets to the tailgate, be it Atlanta or Orlando.

We play Eastern Michigan on the day of the Russell Athletic. Anyway, per SBN, it is now confirmed that we will play Texas A&M in the CFA.

[OldPhiKap]

Please please please Duke v. Tx. A&M. That would be a great game to watch, and match their o against our D.

Representatives of three of the bowls came to our tailgate party before one of the games late in the season. One question they had is whether we'd go to the bowl game if Duke had a basketball game the same day. My immediate answer was and is a YES! A bowl game trumps any basketball game in December.

As well as the first week of January!

Maybe a little caviar?

Only if CB&B is bringing a good BBQ sauce to pull it all together.

Nah, probably no place to tailgate. The place only hosts a full home slate of NFL games, multiple SEC football games and a major bowl game. Can't imagine there's good spots or facilitates provided for tailgating.

Based on what I've learned in The Cobb County Braves thread, there should be prime tailgating in the area where Interstate 75 and the I-285 perimeter intersect.

After losing to FSU getting Texas A & M in the Chick fil A is about the best game I can imagine for Duke.

SEC team with a Heisman winner. Upstart Duke team with the Coach of the Year. Hopefully we will get healthy in the next three weeks.

After beating Miami and Va Tech we deserve it.

Really looking forward to this one.

Assuming all sources are accurate, we have:
FSU v Auburn - Title Game
Clemson v OSU - Orange
Duke v Texas A&M - Chick Fil'A
Miami v Louisville - Russell Athletic
VT v UCLA - Sun
UNC v Cinci - Belk
GT v Ole Miss - Music City
BC v Arizona - Independence
Maryland v Marshall - Military
Cuse v Minnesota - Texas Bowl*
Pitt v Bowling Green - Little Caesar's Bowl*

*s denote ACC At Larges

That's a lot of bowls.

[CameronBornAndBred]

We'll see

[Bluedog]

Just before the announcements later this after, I'm guessing at the ACC bowl lineup this way:

National title game: FSU-Auburn
Orange Bowl: Clemson-Ohio State
Chuck-fil-a: Duke-Texas A&M
Russell Athletic: Miami-Louisville
Sun: Virginia Tech-UCLA
Music City: Georgia Tech-Vanderbilt
Belk: UNCheat-Cincinnati

So close to being perfect on these 7 games! Just missed Ga Tech's opponent in the Music City bowl - ended up being Ole Miss instead of Vandy. Major props Olympic Fan.
