we would have gotten a NY6

#14 before Egg Bowl
would have moved to #12 with Washington State and Notre Dame loss
#11 TCU just got blown out

Top 11 plus UCF will be in NY6.

Instead, Washington is going to get the last spot. They were #17 when we were #14.

Oh well, just have to enjoy drinking coffee from my new mug.

Another "Missed It By That Much" for the Mullen Era.

Just beat UM in 2014, 2015, and 2017, and we have a CFP berth plus 2 more NY6 bowls, with one of them our first-ever Sugar. We'd have built him a statue even with his departure...

Let's be real.... They have cost us tremendously in every Egg Bowl they have beat us other than the first one in 2012. The only thing we cost them in any of the other ones was a potential citrus appearance in 09...

That game was a microcosm of the last 5 years with Denny Mulva...

There simply aren’t enough hours in a day for a full-time job search and doing what is right by your employer. Imagine if that turd burglar had given us even 75% the last few years....

I’m glad he’s gone. We probably upgraded, and he’s in over his oddly-shaped head where he is.

The question is, is it because Don wasn’t fully invested in those games?

I don’t wanna know the answer honestly.

This thread is no longer about the Egg Bowl, we just want to know where 615dawg got that kickass coffee mug.

For the record I don't think they would have ranked us in the top 11 even if we should have been via your reasoning. They don't want 4 SEC teams in those games IMO. Or 4 of any conference at all for that matter. The committee adding back the biases was 2 steps backwards on actually ranking these teams by how good they actually are compared to the computers.

I am very happy with all that Don did for our program. The national media attention, #1, stadium expansion, less confusion with Mississippi...

But you are very very correct. He was the king of getting us right on the brink of the next level or winning the big game, only to fail.

Second NY6 bowl game a home loss to OM has cost us.

When the chips were on the table, no one came up short like Dan Mullen.

The abyss stared back mighty hard several times during the Dean Merlin tenure.

You can't buy them, but you can make anything you want online.

And both times Mullins was too busy trying to lock down another job to worry about focusing on the Egg Bowl.
