GATOR BOWL VS TEXAS A&M, psyche RUTGERS

We honestly do need to have a massive massive blowout. Clawson normally wouldn’t run up the score but Rutgers wouldn’t take it personally as it’s somewhat expected.

I’m sure Clawson will still get a lot of backups reps if we’re cruising, but it would be nice to make a little statement before preseason voting starts for next year.

Yep. The most important thing is to go out ranked this year with as much hype as possible for next year so we start ranked.

What is the best plan for parking if not tailgating? Is there an easy place to park to take the water taxi over to the stadium?

Wanted to re-ask this as I’ll be in a similar situation, basically driving in for just the game with little kids in tow
 
Rutgers results from November on:

Wisconsin 52 Rutgers 3
Rutgers 38 Indiana 3 (Indiana had a massive injuries including to their #1 and #2 QBs; Indiana turned it over six times).
Penn State 28 Rutgers 0
Maryland 40 Rutgers 16

Rutgers offense is terrible. Not counting their game against Temple and an FCS opponent, Rutgers scored more than 20 once in its 10 games against Power V schools (that includes scoring 17 against Cuse). That one time Rutgers scored over 20 came against an injury decimated Indiana team who committed 6 turnovers. Rutgers offense was considerably worse than Duke. This is the worst offense WF has played this year outside of ODU and Norfolk State. Rutgers' defense is their best unit, and even so, they gave up over 50 twice and 40 to Maryland last time out. Even without the massive preparation edge, would like WF to win by 14+. Given those circumstances, WF should roll if the offense played like it did all year outside of the last half against Pitt.

There is plenty of parking around the stadium and parking passes available on Stub Hub.

The Water Taxi would be a better option if you’re staying on the South Bank. But if you just want to ride the water taxi, you can do that.
 
I won’t feel good about this game actually happening until kickoff.
 
Whether these bowl games are played seems primarily dependent on one factor: whether you have two willing participants. I think our game checks that box.

Agreed. But we’ll be blamed for low attendance anyway.

Magic, that’s well said. And it speaks to the bigger problem of bowl relevance. Perhaps it was only a matter of time. Top players have been opting out for years. Nothing has been done to address the problem so it’s gotten worse. Now teams used this pandemic as an excuse to opt out. I’m not sure how to deal with it aside from making the playoffs much bigger and getting rid of bowls.

Thanks. We’re staying in coastal GA to make a semi beach trip out of it and driving in that morning for the game. Maybe we’ll ride it anyway, sounds like something the kids would enjoy especially if we go up 45-7 and they’re tired of me yelling.

Yeah. We are doing the same but staying at Jacksonville Beach. Taking my 3.5 year old to his first game along with my wife and 5 month old. Got club seats so we can hang out in there if (when) necessary.
 
As of now they are calling for low 80's and sunny on game day. Fingers crossed but I'll take it if true. High 70's here in Beaufort SC today.
 
My son and I are planning to go but I didn't hear anything about the ACC Championship Game party. I was lame, I guess? Anyway, a chance to see some old fraternity brothers is always good. If it is no fun we'll just go to dinner early. As always, Go Deacs! These guys deserve our support. Come out if you can. A couple of days in Florida? I'm guessing there are a few Hooters in the area.

Worth mentioning that we currently have no idea which wake players will be playing and which players will be in Covid protocol.

That was more of a tailgate.

I have tickets but we have dinner reservations at the beach with friends so not sure how long we will stay, if at all.
