Politi - Per source, Pinstripe wants Rutgers
- Thread starter RU-Kidding
- Start date
This was a great experience and our whole traveling RU crew thought so. Far better than the Bronx, a rickety old stadium in Birmingham, a worthless bowl in Canada against a tier 2 opponent - and that horrible Ricky-dink bowl in St Petersburg. Small-time garbage - and we have been to every bowl except one.
Detroit had great food, a nice hotel, the lions stadium was beautiful, was in the rejuvenated downtown and we played a real opponent. The best chix wings I’ve ever had and the wife is a trained chef.
I know of only 1 schools alumni Association that has reached out to one of the bars I’ve spoken with to discuss throwing a party there. The school doesn’t wear orange nor maroon.
All signs pointing to GA tech
I think the ACC is the home team this year, but it might not matter, because whether they wear white jerseys or gold jerseys we can still wear our Scarlet!!!
*** if it’s GT
Let's be very clear:'
Nothing is set in stone at this point. Should a Miami or UNC SOMEHOW still be available I could easily see them being swiped-up last second. Just have a pretty good feeling those 2, along with Clemson, will be gone by then and all signs point to "GT" otherwise (including word from a bar owner in The Bronx about the GT alumni association....BUT....they could be looking to set things up in a few different cities).

Same here but I predict they will not travel well to the Bronx... and I don't blame them.
Yeah, unless they have alums in the ny metro area I don’t think those in the South want to venture up to the cold Bronx temps in late December
I work with a GT alum who is a rabid football fan. He lives in PA and he has no intention of going to the Bronx. Sample size of 1 so...doesn't translate into anything.
So here's what I'm seeing looking around as updated as possible (for the ACC):
FSU - playoff/NY6
Louisville - Orange
(ND to Reliaquest)
Clemson - Holiday vs USC
UNC - Gator
Miami - Sun Bowl
NC State - Pop Tarts (former Cheeze-It/Russell/Champs/etc)
GT - Pinstripe
Duke - Duke's Mayo vs Kentucky
VT - Military Bowl
BC - Fenway
'Cuse - nobody cares

They’ll travel to NYC. Spend days there and catch a game in the Bronx. You make it as though they’ll be looking for hotels in the Bronx. Lol
ruronny,
I also had a great experience in Detroit, for all the reasons you stated and I also visited the Motown museum which was a personal favorite. But I would go further and say I had great experiences at the other bowls as well. Toronto was surprisingly fun, we went to some great bars and restaurants, visited the Hockey Hall of Fame, went up their version of a space needle thing, and visited a pretty cool strip club. For all of those games the common denominator was that we had a group of guys taking a trip to a destination. To me that is the essence of a bowl experience. The Pinstripe in many ways is like an extra home game in what is honestly a less appealing football stadium. You drive to the game in the morning and drive home after it's over. I went to both of our Pinstripe Bowls and I would prefer any other bowl, even the Fenway if that were an option 😀. Unlike some, I honestly have nothing against the existence of the Pinstripe Bowl itself (even though the site lines suck and it apparently has bad turf as well), it's just that it's in our backyard. I'm sure there are people from other parts of the country that would love to come to the City for a few days during the holidays. I can go into the City anytime I want. (I posted an article in another thread a few days ago about how Minnesota felt screwed when they were passed over for the Pinstripe and had to go to Phoenix a couple years ago). Having said all that, I get that we're apparently fated to go there this year and I'll be there myself, cheering on the team, but I suspect that I'll be a little sad that we didn't get to take a trip somewhere, anywhere.
motown museum is GREAT!!!!! how about the indent in the wood from smokey tapping his foot while playing. unreal place
People were saying that about Iowa State and they showed up fairly well (all things considered).
This. Those who make ridiculous comments have never been to the Bowl game there.
