Myrtle Beach bound

Playing ODU December 20th

 

[rusty-c]

As I asked in the Alley, who did we piss off??? What a horrible _____________(you fill in the blank)….

 

[jesterondirt]

It's too far away for any fans to make it, so what do they do? Set a 1:30 kickoff while everyones at work.

 

[rusty-c]

I’m disappointed….. My boys and I always have made all the bowls for the last 15+ years, but this one being on a Monday mid-day is absolutely not doable for responsible working adults.

I will take the afternoon off as I did for the Miami Beach game. Dutifully.

 

[drboobay]

Plus on the bright side my daughter turns 17 on the 20th so if it were a night game of this irrelevance I would be missing it for a dinner out.

Likely to do the same, but those trips have made for some great memories as they’ve moved off to different cities and started their own families.

I see your point, hopefully Monty doesn’t have you so depressed and drunk by dinner you forget her birthday. It’s a real possibility…..

I just need to remember just you and I are watching so who cares.

 

[Original TULSAFAN]

Does it matter?
There's hardly any "power" 5 vs G5 matchups.
The system is crap.

 

[TU 1978]

The only redeeming feature is that the final score should be something similar to this.

Another bowl game versus a hapless opponent

 

[drboobay]

We lost to Cal Davis so never assume a Montgomery coached team will win easily.

 

[quincy101]

Somebody please explain what an odu is. Conference? record? Toughest opponents? Thanks

Old Dominion reminds of a cigarette brand from long ago. Rich aroma, smooth draw...Old Dominion Cigarettes. Doctors prefer Old Dominion.

 

[TU1NNJ]

They lost opener to Wake Forrest and won final against Charlotte - those cut off above

 

[lawpoke87]

Sagarin rates them as the #118 team in the country

I guess it’s a good thing my son is an irresponsible working adult because he plans to go. Actually the time is perfect for him because he can drive down from Virginia in the morning and back after the game.

 

[drboobay]

How do they compare with Cal Davis in the ratings!

 

[drboobay]

Full list. We DEFINITELY got the worst spot and matchup in the AAC by a Longshot.

I thought an odu was related to an urdu which is a 1st cousin to a yak and found somewhere in the foothills of the Himalayas.

 

[TU1NNJ]

They have this game circled. They want revenge for the March 19, 1995 loss to us in the second round of NCAA BB tournament

 

[dlsnid]

I don’t know if it is the worst Memphis playing a Hawaii team with losing record is worse

 

[lawpoke87]

Memphis kids get a trip to Hawaii and get to play in prime time on Friday night. This is worse.

 

[dlsnid]

It is a home game for Hawaii and Hawaii only got in because NCAA added another bowl

I was living in Chicago and had to negotiate with several bars until I found one who would show that ODU game.

Trip to Hawaii
Playing in prime time on Friday night and being the only football game played that day.
Good crowd
Guaranteed great weather.

I can think of ten bowl games worse than this for the players and program from both a destination standpoint and national TV exposure.

 

[Sbellini]

This made me laugh so hard!!!! Thank you!!!

 

[I.I.]

I was at that game. We lucked out Villanova lost to them in the first round. That was a good trip to Albany.

The funny part is the only score by Bowling Green was a kick off return for a TD. Some teams can't run good screens, we cannot cover kicks... ever...

 

[Weatherdemon]

Crap.
I’ll get to watch most of it. I’m supposed to land at DFW at 1:37 then leave there at 3:20. I’ll have my iPad and my 2nd flight has WiFi.

Not sure if ya knew this or not but Zach Hanson is going to USC.

 

['Cane-man]

Are Taylor and Isaac going too?

 

[Sbellini]

No way….. unless they are taking his wife and a condition of her employment is that they have to employ him as well. Has this been reported anywhere?

I read it on a USC site. It's behind a paywall. He's expected to be their TE coach.

It's good to have AshVID back posting!

Oh wow!! Thanks for info!!!

We’d have to make the trips from Dallas, OKC, and Tulsa, so it would be more than a day trip and they both manage large retail establishments so multiple days are definitely out.

 

[aTUfan_rivals]

i'm flying to Dallas on the 20th, landing at 1:40. will it be broadcast on espn radio or can I get the broadcast from Tulsa?

Wasn't that where (current coach) Shea Seals finished off poor odu with an overhead reverse slam? They might remember that in Monarch-land.
