2021 Bowl season thread

[Loca5174]

So middle Tennessee and coastal Carolina both won yesterday.

the celebration bowl featuring HBCU’s is on and not looking good for mr Prime Time. South Carolina State is up on Jackson State.

if you like offense there is 11 min left in the Boca Ratón Bowl and western Kentucky 52-Appy State 31

I’m glad you started this thread because I was thinking about starting one. Interesting results for me early is the fact that the MAC is off to an 0-2 start (not surprisin) and CUSA is 2-0 (somewhat surprising).

UTEP with the early lead on Fresno

 

[Loca5174]

UAB tried to make CUSA 3-0 in bowls as they face BYU on ABC now

Currently up 14-0

Currently up 14-0

Hard for me to get interested if TU is not involved. But glad to see that future conference mates are doing well. Nap time!

 

[TulsaGrad07]

Currently up 14-0

I guess BYU decided to put in some effort after all... Apparently they had little motivation to play an unranked CUSA team in Louisiana after a 10-2 season. Mountain west isn't a very deep conference, not sure where their supercilious attitude comes from... (Tulsa deserved waaaaaay better than ODU btw)

We almost got left out, mainly because of our own undoing

 

[TulsaGrad07]

That Tulane game felt like a loss... And the UC Davis game was inexcusable. A win is a win, but this year was a step backwards after last year, and the entire program has gone a step back since Monty took over. Guess we've beat that drum to death... We all know the situation

Yep

CUSA are 3-0

UTEP lost

 

[nevadanatural]

UTEP lost

Yep, 3-1 but still a good showing on the first two days of bowl season.

 

[TU1NNJ]

Yep, 3-1 but still a good showing on the first two days of bowl season.

LaLa likely will beat Marshall and if we take care of business Monday they will be 3-3

 

[PNTrough]

Yep, 3-1 but still a good showing on the first two days of bowl season.

BYU had to play a backup QB due to injury and weather made the game a slog. BYU looked lost half the time. They had other starters missing or limited. So CUSA is a soft 3-1.

I hear the team is locked in and ready to win.

I want to have them put away by halftime

BYU isn’t in the Mountain West. Their champ Utah State looks pretty good though.

 

[TulsaRising1]

So basically a new member of the AAC beat a new member of the Big 12

 

[Tu Geo]

CUSA has played well in their Bowl games. Haven't won all but have been competitive in all if not most.

The UAB game was surprising to say the least!!!!

GO TU!!!

 

[Loca5174]

The only CUSA teams I want to see win are those that are going to be AAC members

1 down(uab) two to go, utsa & n texas.

 

[Babe the Blue Ox_rivals]

UTSA looks pretty good so far and I heard that North Texas kicked Wichita’s rear in basketball a few days ago so these may be pretty good additions.

 

[nevadanatural]

The question is can they maintain.

This is before the SDSU and UTSA game is over

Texas A&M drops out of Gator Bowl, leaving Wake Forest without an opponent.

See if we can get a waiver to play them

1-1 on conference joiners. I expected utsa to beat San Diego St. Slightly disappointing.

I didn’t get to watch the game. San Diego state is not a bad team. Seems like UTSA didn’t live up to their billing

BYU offered to play in 2 bowl games last year but nothing ever came from it. I don’t know if they were denied or just changed their minds.

 

[nevadanatural]

UTSA was missing their top rusher and about a half dozen other players. Their 1200 yard rusher opted out to prepare for the draft.

Did not check into players who opted out for either team, thanks.

I assume San Diego St wasn't hit as hard by opt outs?

 

[Babe the Blue Ox_rivals]

North Texas didn’t look too hot today. Miami O, which was likely the last team invited, really put it to them.

 

[Henry Kendall]

UCF looking really good vs Florida.

 

[Weatherdemon]

 

[Sbellini]

Now saying COVID and transfer portal has depleted the team and that they safely can’t field a team.

 

[Babe the Blue Ox_rivals]

I wonder if Graham still gets his $20k bonus.

 

[TulsaRising1]

Now saying COVID and transfer portal has depleted the team and that they safely can’t field a team.

That or Todd pissed them all off
