December 8, 201015 yr After the game is over the UK Alumni Association will have a party at Buffalo Wild Wings on John Hawkins Pkwy in Hoover to watch UK-UGA Bball game. Hope to see a lot of BLUE there!
December 8, 201015 yr On a sidenote and as I and others predicted Miles Simpson is no longer a running back but, rather, has been moved to safety. Good move for Miles and UK. Very good move...I guess one BGP'er will be sad. He had Miles winning a Heisman.
December 8, 201015 yr Yes, yes, and yes. Saying Pitt was one of the best teams in the Big East this year is like saying you have one of the best hockey teams in Afghanistan. :lol: That's a great way to sum it up.

December 23, 201015 yr Just saw where ticket sales are not going well for either school. UK reportedly has sold 4k tickets, but would not divulge how many of those were simply given away to administrators, etc.. Pitt is even farther off the pace. I figured this would be a poorly attended event for UK standards. The disappointment from the season, to the date, and to the lackluster bowl.

Another problem is that is the 32nd or 33rd of the 35 bowl games. People are going to be played out by the time this game rolls around........2 days before the BCS championship. No national eyes will be on this game.
January 2, 201115 yr I am starting to get excited about our trip to Birmingham. Not so much for the game, but dinner Friday night at Shula's!!

No national eyes will be on this game. It's the only bowl game being played that day and one of the last of the year so there will be good exposure. I am taking the Cats and the 3 1/2 all day long.
January 3, 201115 yr Author Wannstache just announced he is not coaching Pitt in the Bowl Game. What a train wreck...
January 3, 201115 yr Wannstache just announced he is not coaching Pitt in the Bowl Game. What a train wreck... I love it. This is getting better by the minute.
January 3, 201115 yr How much are tickets for this game? I might be interested on taking the family down down, if It's not much.
January 3, 201115 yr Who will coach them now or do they even know? Volunteers from the stands? Or maybe they could get one of those celebrity coaches like the HS all-American games get. Ditka or Hern Edwards would be all over that.
January 3, 201115 yr Looks like DC, Phil Bennet, will act as interim head coach. However, the OC, Frank Cignetti Jr looks like he's jumping ship for the State University of New Jersey and may not be coaching in the bowl game, either. http://www.wpxi.com/news/26351688/detail.html
