Welcome to the Birmingham Bowl.

That's a Birmingham Bowl.

Appropriate enthusiasm.

The, this is, of course, this year, the very exciting thing about this game is,

this is the one that after Notre Dame sat out bowl season, it caused a chain reaction all

throughout the ACC's games, and, uh, they were scrambling, looking for a five and seven team

to put stuff back into their lockers, to like bring their uniforms out of storage,

to remember where they put the keys, and to clock in and hurriedly scramble to play Georgia Southern in a bowl game.

And the team that they found to do it was none other than the team that hates Georgia Southern the most, Appalachian State, five and seven.

They were like, you know what, we could take the winner off, or we could go punch those assholes we hate in Birmingham.

What do you think, fellas?

We want to go headbutt Georgia Southern again?

Yeah, hell yeah, we like that more than vacation.

So, App State is here because they get to fight Georgia Southern on TV for a few hours, a couple days, a few days after Christmas.

And that's what bull season is all about.

Can we talk about the list of teams that turn down the invitation to be in the Burma?

On Selection Sunday, Brett McMurphy reported, Florida State Auburn UCF Baylor Rectors Temple in Kansas

turned the game down and then there's some sort of a haggling over what

has turned down mean like temple came out and said like well no we didn't turn it

down you know so like it there's varying interpretations of exactly what that

means but it's quite a list regardless regardless. For some of these, like, okay, for Temple, I can be like, look, Birmingham's far away. You're maybe not like, I don't know, we're going to sell our ticket, alableness, et cetera, et cetera. Florida State, Baylor? This is 100% like, I'm not looking for, I'm not looking for more losses do not put that no five and

eight I have survived this season do not put that shit on me don't give us one of those records
