I think that is a reasonable concern.
SEC teams never lose, they just didn't want to be there- or it was too muddy, or something...
In my lifetime, I have seen four different head football coaches at Penn State. One thing that has seemed to be a constant is that Penn State plays down to the perceived level of it's opponent.
This article means to me that things do not bode well for us.
Still scratching my head at this beaut from the very beginning of the article:
"All that served as the backdrop Monday as the Bulldogs return to practice, preparing for a match-up with Penn State in the TaxSlayer Bowl that many have deemed irrelevant."
Huh? Do you mean to tell me that the GA Bulldogs faithful are just figuring out that the result of the Taxslayer Bowl (formerly the Gator Bowl) is "irrelevant"? Dumb article, the teams are "playing for" what teams in such an irrelevant bowl have always played for - they're "playing for pride" and the name of the school on their jersey. If GA loses, it is beyond weak to be making pre-game excuses claiming they weren't motivated....the game is irrelevant...blah, blah, blah.

Enough for you to reply with the quote.Do you really think we read your posts with that sig pic?

Outside of the two playoff games, all the bowls are irrelevant and have been for the history of time. Even when there were far fewer bowl games, only one or two really mattered every year.

My chief concern is that we not replay the Northwestern game. Been there done that.
Actually,bowls ARE relevant. They showcase their team for current and future recruits and they motivate the fan base for the next year. Also,ending a season on a winning note sets the stage for the following year.Outside of the two playoff games, all the bowls are irrelevant and have been for the history of time.
