Indy Bowl Quick Hitters

1. The team hotels in Shreveport are reversed from my initial rundown.  The Dawgs will be at the downtown Hilton.  The Aggies will be at the Clarion.  Sam's Town, another Georgia hub, is about two blocks away from the Hilton.   
   
2. The team arrives in Shreveport on Christmas Eve, much to the chagrin of Rennie.  The solution to those blues: beat Kentucky at home.  
3. Our former football coaches will still get their bowl bonuses.  That'll take the edge off being unemployed during the holidays. Sounds like Wall Street bankers negotiated those deals.
   
4. The Dawgs are still a touchdown favorite in a game where motivation will be key.  David Hale reports that the Dawgs are still excited about the bowl game, but I find that sentiment hard to believe.  The players are saying the right things, but it's got to be hard to get excited after a lackluster season that leads to a defensive staff housecleaning.
5. The Georgia fans aren't excited about Shreveport, but the Gator fans aren't excited about New Orleans.  If the Sugar Bowl is a letdown, you may have too good of a program.  I might shank a few of you if it'd get the Dawgs a Sugar Bowl spot.
