Would you rather beat LSU, Beat Cal, Win the WAC?
If we win the WAC - we are more than likely in the top 25 and at the very least getting top 25 votes -
Plus we are BOWLING and that's what it's all about in football -
''Don't be a bad dagh..."
Win the WAC. Nothing else is close.
How can anyone vote for anything OTHER than "Win the WAC"?!
Beating LSU and getting second place in the WAC would do more for our program, as far as getting the attention of the casual fan in North Louisiana, than just winning the WAC. And we would still be bowling.
Beat LSU. That means more in state than winning the WAC championship or winning a bowl game in Idaho or Cali. Beating LSU is something we'd always have. How many of us still talk about how we beat SEC champ Bama???
Winning the WAC would be a great accomplishment for Coach Dooley and his first-year staff. I also agree with Dwayne that we would get a few votes, and go to a bowl.
BUT...I voted for beating LSU since that would shut a lot of people up (at least for a while) and would offset any other losses we had during this season.
B.S. you go for the hardware. You could beat LSU and stay home during the bowl season. That would suck. Winning the WAC equals building the program. Like Dwayne said it could also be the first time EVER we finish the season in the top-25. It would also mean a certain bowl bid. I would rather have the respect of the nation for winning our conference, a top-25 ranking and a certain bowl bid than a win in Baton Rouge that would be dismissed by most as a fluke especially if it is not followed up by a conference championship.
I don't see how anything else is even remotely close.
I'd rather beat LSU and get national attention for winning a game then winning the WAC and getting killed in a bowl game by..i don't know...Clemson. Beating LSU while they are at the top would be the best thing by far. Nobody on tv, radio, etc. will be talking nationally about us in a bowl game, but it would be the only thing to talk about that week if we beat LSU
They wouldn't be talking about how good we were. They would be talking about how poorly LSU played and how they were overrated. We would quickly be dismissed as a fluke unless we beat them in a bowl game ala Boise St.
Fresno and Boise both took those paths. Fresno beat the BCS teams and got beaten in conference. Boise kept winning the WAC. Right now which football program would you rather be? I'd pick Boise.
Win the WAC, that gets you into a bowl game and means we have had a successful season. WE could beat cal or lsu and only win 5-6 games be sitting at home and it do nothing for us. Not even close really.
Win the WAC & go bowling! I'm with DFM on this one!
