Then don't turn on your TV and watch it. And if you either live or will be visiting the greater Atlanta area, by all means, do not attend either.

<!-- end page tools --> <!-- begin story body --> <!-- template inline -->ATLANTA -- Georgia Tech has been selected as the ACC representative in the Dec. 31 Chick-fil-A Bowl in Atlanta.
The selection of Georgia Tech will be officially announced at a news conference on Wednesday at the school. Georgia Tech is 9-3 following a 45-42 win over Georgia last Saturday and will receive its first invitation since 2000 to its hometown Chick-fil-A Bowl at the Georgia Dome.
Chick-fil-A president Gary Stokan said Georgia Tech's "great TV football brand" and "passionate fan base" make the team a good fit for the game.
Stokan's committee also considered Florida State and the loser of Saturday's Virginia Tech-Boston College ACC championship game.

Didn't Georgia play WVU a couple of years ago in this bowl?

Ga played V-tech in the peach. The committee is smart, they pick teams within driving distance to fill the stadium. It usually is a great game to watch, as the teams are markey names. Could we see a rematch with Georgia?

You do not need a passionate fan base to travel 5 miles. If G-Tech made the Emeral Nut Bowl in San Diego, I would have laughed out loud. Not even the boosters would have made that trip.

Why anyone would want to go to a bowl game on San Fran bay in late December is beyond me. Might as well play it in an unheated outdoor pool in Telluride. Fucking freezing and wet. Just nasty.
