So my FB time line features a few...

#hailstate, but this is proof we have to many bowls.

A) I honestly think there are state fans who would prefer use to sit at home w/o the extra practices.

B) the market determines how many bowls there are. If Bucks BBQ sauce wants to host a bowl, they will. And they need teams to fill those two spots.

C) if it makes "fans" so unhappy to be bowling at 5 - 7, then don't watch. Our team needs these 17ing practices.

It's like I've told some of my buddies, I'm sure as hell not gonna gloat about going bowling with a 5-7 record, but I'll sure as hell take it.

Look at it this way...the only reason we're going is because our guys took care of business in the classroom. That's a win right?

 

[tired]

Hell yeah it's a win

Bowling at 5-7 is sorta like owning a minivan. The worst damn part about the minivan is people knowing you have one. Otherwise the sumbitch is awesome with kids.

If the worst thing about the bowl is people knowing we got in with a losing regular season, then by god I'm all for that mother17er.

Need to look at the forest not the trees. History will show that we participated in seven bowls in a row. That fact helps build a program which is what we are doing. There aren't too many bowls. There aren't enough teams with winning records or even records to fill all the slots. It's about money and practice time. Maybe we won't make much money but the host city will. And it also grates like hell on some other teams that did NOT participate in a bowl game, but I won't mention any names

It's impressive alone that our graduation rate ranks us among schools like UCLA, Texas and Vandy for ARP. I guess when your players become college grads they are less likely to fly out of hotel windows.

I want to go to a bowl any time we have the option. There have been years when we would have killed for this.

Makes up for the year under Jackie we were 7-4 and didn't go

Our team came up a little bit short on the field but excelled in the classroom. This is worth an honorary 6th win.

 

[Old Fart Dawg]

yes, I laughed

Not to mention 5-7 teams are 3-0 in bowl games
