5 Losses + Bowling in Boise = Another Mediocre Season

Well, Georgia Tech is going to the Humanitarian Bowl in Boise, Idaho later this year, which is the school's 11th straight bowl game. That streak might seem impressive, but when you consider the bowls they've visited, the taste begins to sour just a bit.

In those 11 years, 7 of them have been of the Humanitarian, Emerald, Champs Sports, Silicon Valley Classic, Seattle, or Carquest varieties. Not exactly the most illustrious of bowl games pouring with history and tradition.

I honestly don't know why I'm consistently surprised year after year of my alma mater's mediocrity. The previous coaching staff had a penchant for two things during its tenure: Losing at least 5 games every year, one of those always being to the University of Georgia. Yet every year I invest all my hopes and dreams into this football program, only to be feel the sting of defeat and disappoint every time. Some would call my behavior the very definition of insanity, but I refuse to lose all hope.

Here's hoping the yet-to-be-named coach can take this program to the next level. If not, at least I'll know the world is as it should be.
