Pretty sure we are all hoping for a Georgia loss, right?

Nope. There are not enough games in a year for Notre Dame to lose as far as I am concerned.

No. I'm generally not an "SEC fan", but the way they set this idiotic playoff up to insure two Big 10 teams in the final four and gift wrapping ND into this game, as painful as it might be I'll be rooting for UGa to win the whole stupid thing. I don't count Texas as an SEC team, and it would be embarrassing for what is really a Big 12 school to win it.

Whoever wins, I hope it's a blowout.

Yes, I hope Note Dame beats the brakes off Georgia.

Very sad…

Sugar Bowl CEO Jeff Hundley has issued a statement re: the tragic NYE event in New Orleans:

“The Sugar Bowl Committee is devastated by the terrible events from early this morning. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families. We are in ongoing discussions with authorities on the local, state, and federal levels and will communicate further details as they become available.”

Neither offense is going to be explosive. Doubt anyone gets blown out unless there are some defensive scores. Both teams will be looking to ground and pound, run clock, and stay healthy going into the next round.

It’s being reported all over the news. Odd they haven’t mentioned it.

This game has been postponed.

 

[volfan102455]

I'm assuming they need to make sure this was just an isolated incident and that the game can be played safely - thus the need to postpone it until tomorrow.

hate that this is postponed as it ruins a NY day tradition but probably the best thing to do

I understand the decision, but hate it for the fans who traveled. Now they have to spend more money to adjust or go home as planned without even seeing the game.

That's the problem. Disrupting the ability to live our lives as we see fit is one of the goals of this garbage.

I’m guessing, due to the IEDs found, that they want to make sure the area is secure before they fill that stadium.

Just saw it at halftime. Weird they stalled announcing.

 

[FlVols]

Sort of screwey to me. Hate it for GA fans who’ve pause a lot hopefully ND fans will go home and ga cannwin

 

[MAD]

Postponed until tomorrow, time to be determined.
