all4AU 379 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 This has been mentioned a little, but not much... What about AU to the Texas Bowl in Houston? I know it's a longer trip than most destinations, but I think it would be neat to beat the Longhorns in their own backyard. Would definitely make the trip, and exposure in Texas is never bad for recruiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU64 10,122 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Would be nice to play someone we've not seen before...and someone that would help draw a nice crowd. Hoping we get the game in Charlotte....maybe against ND as an ACC representative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc4aday 1,887 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Playing ND would be huge. This would help with recruiting and would be watched world-wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AURealist 2,185 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Playing ND would be huge. This would help with recruiting and would be watched world-wide. Playing ND would be great. Reading their boards, it's clear they're afraid they'll get stuck playing somebody like Auburn from the SEC and get blown out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dual-Threat Rigby 8,641 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 If we play Wisconsin it's a wrap Melvin Gordon might have 400 yards by halftime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dual-Threat Rigby 8,641 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 I don't know who we're gonna play but I rather see Marshall get a game plan like the Alabama game again instead of running the whole game. Get Marshall over 2,500 throwing would be nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaytonAU 4,606 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 As long as we don't play Clemson and as long as it isn't the Chick Fil A bowl, I don't care. Outback sounds great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't be the Chick Fil A bowl it's consider one of the major bowl games now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weagl1 1,781 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Playing Notre Dame in Jacksonville or Tampa would be great. I just don't see playing Louisville, Wisconsin or frickin Clemson. Let's do a game for the fans, no the same old same crap again. Even if we play Minnesota that would at least be something different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU64 10,122 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Unfortunately an AU vs Clemson game is almost a guaranteed sellout in Atlanta...and probably Nashville too. When it comes down to it the $$$ rules and what the fans want is probably not even a factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plainsman04 0 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 I'm as sick of Clemson as the next guy, but we owe those boys a beating. I could live with beating them by 30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUsome_Tiger11 19 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 I'm glad your experience with them was enjoyable, like mine was with Georgia fans this year in Athens. I guess I just happened to be around the bad ones at the game in 2007. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AURealist 2,185 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 These are four bowls slated for possible ACC vs. SEC Duck Commander Independence Bowl Franklin American Mortgage Music City Bowl Belk Bowl TaxSlayer Bowl Why has nobody projected an Auburn vs. Notre Dame match up in any of them? It would be a great game and probably sellout. Auburn-Louisville? Really? Auburn-Maryland? What?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFDTiger80 790 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Does anyone have an idea if Carl Lawson might AU in our bowl game. It would be great if he could at least start practicing again during our bowl practices He's been out all year. No sense in bringing him in now. Just let him get his rehab done and be back for spring practice. ^^This all day long. It's redshirt city for Carl. It is the returning to practice, getting reps in and getting back his speed that I want. Him being able to take part in bowl practices will help both Carl and our defense next year. Secondly, a reshirt may mean nothing for Carl, most think as long as he plays at a high level, his next year of football at AU will be his last.

If he is far enough along then it would be ok but he hasn't practiced at all so I am doubtful he has progressed to the point of doing anything.

cole256 17,039 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I don't want to play Wisconsin because through all the hoop la of the awful pass defense we haven't been stopping the run either. I think Gordon would rush for at least 200. And the one thing we don't want is a team controlling the T.O.P. against us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dual-Threat Rigby 8,641 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 After seeing Clemson obliterate a South Carolina team that we barely sneaked by, I'm not too fond of playing them right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USCe was a damaged team by the end of the season...no depth, injuries, etc. Hard to draw any conclusions IMO...but I agree, don't want to see them again ....but I don't fear their defense and with Watson out, their QB is not much of a threat.

AUFlyer99 647 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 After seeing Clemson obliterate a South Carolina team that we barely sneaked by, I'm not too fond of playing them right now. USCe went for every 4th down conversion that game. If we had a defense that Spurrier respected it wouldn't have been near that close. We will have a slightly different d for the bowl game.

And the one thing we don't want is a team controlling the T.O.P. against us TOP would not be a concern, because he has more 20+ yard runs than 117 other FBS teams. 5 runs max, and they're in the end zone…our possession.
