NITology and Georgia's post-season situation

The Gators blew us clean out of the water last night. We were down a mind blowing 31-6 with 8:30 left in the first half. If you're looking for a brightside to such a tremendous thrashing, there isn't one. They are just dramatically better than us. Whey they're on their game and playing up to their ability, they can beat anyone in the country by double digits.

So, where does that leave us. NIT bound obviously.

Someone on a bulldog message board compared the NIT to the Music City Bowl. That's a pretty fair comparison. It's not a big traditionally exciting bowl destination, but it's a post-season chance to gain momentum for next year. And, there's nothing this program needs more than momentum.

NITology has us as a 4 seed. Their bracket shows us hosting vs. Iowa in Round 1. Other options for Round 1 include:

Appy State
Depaul
Providence
UMass
Utah State
Washington

Five of those seven (including Iowa) would make for compelling match-ups. Hopefully, folks will come out and support the Dawgs. NIT first round games are Tuesday and Wednesday. I'm guessing that the tickets will be sold general admission first come first serve. But that's just a hunch based on the turn around from the Selection Show til tipoff.
