"I think it's at the top of the list for the advantages of having it," Flood said last season of bowl practices. "It's akin to having an extra spring. It's not a guarantee of anything. But it is extra practice time and as coaches we want that. I think with this football team the extra practice time would be very valuable to a young football team."
I disagree with the coach. Practices aren't important. I think Tech should not do Spring training either.
Go Tech!
Some would sell their children for Tech to host a P5, yet they would pass on playing one in Shreveport in a bowl game?
Independence Bowl or bust!
Well, you should see what woulda happened without those practice days. This year's team would have struggled just to get bowl eligible, would have not been able to hang tough late in games. In fact, we woulda struggled just to get to 6-6.
Seriously though, how do we know we mighta finished 3-9 or something?
