Suddenlystruttin's Bowl Predictions, Part 2

Chick-Fil-A Bowl
Clemson vs Auburn
Atlanta, Georgia

Huh, a peach? That's weird.

If I can put my cantankerous, grouchy hat on for just a minute, this bowl game was once known as the "Peach Bowl" and I actually used to have an iota of respect for it. I know, I know, "sounds like somebody has a case of the 'used tas,' but c'mon!, this game is now sponsored by some insanely Christian company-albeit, deliciously insane-that doesn't even have their restaurants open on Sundays for fear of invoking "the one true God's almighty wrath" All the more fitting, I suppose that this bowl pits two teams from the Bible Belt in a battle of which team God loves more. Fuck it, I was using this whole bowl game as a platform to rail against the born-agains. In any case, I am totally calling for the Tigers who's team color is orange to win.* No, but seriously, I'm totally picking Auburn to romp through, over and around Clemson.

* That's a joke, now see, both squads are nicknamed the Tigers and sport orange as their predominant color.

The former Peach Bowl 'pits' two teams against each other? LOLOLOL!

Chick-fil-a is delicious, though.

I'm really glad you were the first one to notice that pun. Also, yes, Chick-fil-a is incredibly delicious, they've got waffle fries, y'know?

Tony! Shame on you!!! Goooo CLEMSON tigers! And yes I remember the good ol' days of the Peach Bowl. I also remember the good ol' days of Danny Ford, aka before Tommy Bowden. Down with Bowden!

Drew, I can't help it. Also, at least Tommy Bowden is beating up Bobby on a consistent basis, no?
