As Georgia State prepares for the Cure Bowl — its first NCAA Football odds bowl berth in school history — head coach Trent Miles is inviting two special guests to the game: Bill and Carolyn Curry. Bill Curry was the first coach for the program, from 2010 to 2012. Miles followed Curry and went 1-23 in his first two seasons before leading the team to a 6-6 record this year and earning Sun Belt Conference coach of the year honors.
