    I know that bowls are about money, but CUSA teams don't travel much better than we do, if at all. This was like spitting in our face, in my opinion.
    It is a direct reflection on our inept WAC commissioner and our AD.

    Their travel means nothing. Who will Detroit be more likely come out and watch? DeAngelo Williams or Louisiana Tech? Given this game could have been marketed talking about us being giant killers but the game is against Akron.

    Unfortunately, this is what I expected. But I was really hoping that for once things would go our way. Oh well...

    Agreed, Champ.....but perception is too often reality.

    There are four 7-win teams who won't be bowling...Tech (7-4), Miami (Ohio) (7-4), Western Michigan (7-4), and Northern Illinois (7-5).

    What would be great now is for the sports writers of the country to make sure the public knows we got screwed. It sounded like the announcers in the Fresno State game believed us missing a bowl would be a travesty. Plug in a 7-4 team losing to only bowl teams also beating a top 25 team who had to share our facilities with Tulane could easily turn us into America's favorite university and a martyr that might bring down the BCS. Just a thought but I doubt it happens.

    Because as an independent or in the Sun Belt a 7-4 record wouldn't even be considered for a bowl game. In the WAC we are at least considered.

    Looks like being in the MAC is even worse than being in the WAC.

    Call Rep. Joe Barton's office if you don't like the bowl system. His congressional hearing is this week and the whole corrupt bowl system needs to have its dirty laundry aired.

    And I didn't even include Bowling Green and Central Michigan who are sitting at home 6-5.

    We've got an extra game or two on the schedule for next year, right? Let's pummel some C-USA overrated ass. I'm tired of the media perception of them as some great conference. Memphis sucks. Southern Miss sucks. I say it's war!

    Tech has one home game opening not announced on next year's schedule. Don't see a CUSA team other than maybe Tulane who will need a place to play to most of the season playing Tech in Ruston.
