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.Originally Posted by champion110
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.Originally Posted by JDubyadawg
Looks like being in the MAC is even worse than being in the WAC.Originally Posted by RealityCheck
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.Originally Posted by Dallas Dawg
Sounds like it's time to get a game scheduled with Memphis .
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!
CUSA Does suck. I like the WAC compared to CUSA. maybe not in all sports, but at least in football.
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.Originally Posted by Ktulu7
I would LOVE to kick Memphis butt. Heck, let em team up with Southern Miss and both play us at the same time.
