Re: 2014-15 Bowl Chatter and Predictions
Marshall is now showing up as a projected team for one of the Selection Committee bowls on some lists since East Carolina lost yesterday. Very interesting. Two "experts" are showing LA Tech going to the Independence Bowl. If Marshall goes to a "big" bowl and we win the West, do we get to choose where we go? It seems like it should work that way.

Wasn't going to post in this thread until we became elgible. I think IF we make it to the championship game we will end up in Dallas, win or lose. We win, I believe we get first choice. We lose, Marshall may go to a bigger bowl. If they don't, I could see their coaching staff rewarding their undefeated season with a trip to the Bahamas. With that said, still way too much season left to have any clue.
. 100% agree
. Leave it to Bruce-- he will do what's right
. Love the positive energy-- you are very astute -- we are only averaging 44 points a game in CUSA and giving up 18. Diaz will probably forget how to coach/motivate and we will lose to Old Dominio who gave up 66 points to WK-- I need to cancel my flight and hotel for OD game --
Dallas or I-Bowl - both should have "name" opponent - big 10/ACC - i believe Shreveport gives a more exposure - ABC
With ECU's loss, the spotlight will be on Marshall and the CUSA championship. I say we go in there and ruin everything!!
Open collusion will be become the reality.
If our coaches see that there is outright effort to prevent us from winning a game, that is the one time I would approve of coaches telling players to give refs a reason to throw flags. Blow guys out of their shoes, knock them out of the game, and make tackles with the ref right between them and the ball carrier. Put everyone including he zebra on their backs.
Getting players suspended for a bowl game would do no one any good.
Thanks for the RC, RC. At least Marshall would be playing their bowl game half cocked with about 15 guys sidelined by injury. I know it would do us no good, but something has to give because conferences and the NCAA never really punish anyone for breaking a rule.
