UCF not giving up the national championship without a fight.
G5 teams finish 13-16 in bowls. C-USA, MWC, and SBC combined go 10-6. AAC and MAC combined go just 3-10.
Skip and JMar would have torn depleted LSU to pieces today, clearly. Once you factor in that its Bowl Game Holtz, there would be no way we would lose!
Starting off the new year with a little humor. That's good.Originally Posted by Tech52
I honestly thought UCF would win the game today. LSU didn't look very good. Not sure Tech would have beaten them, but thought UCF would have. I guess in the end the Tigers didn't want to hear anymore of that national championships bullshit. Not sure even if UCF would have won the game they would have spoken that shit again after Florida called their bluff on "nobody good will play us" garbage.
I thought LSU looked pretty damn good. Burrow has a monster game
Texas is the team looking good tonight. Tech is going to be getting more than a few points when the line for August 31 is set.
C-USA 13 minutes away from the Bowl Challenge Cup if this result holds.
Conference USA wins the Bowl Challenge Cup as the only conference that wins more than 60% of its bowl games.
They don't ask how. They ask how many.
The story the SEC goons will run is LSU missing so much defense.
But UCF sorely missed Milton. We know, and LSU knows, how important a good QB is. And how much it changes the offense.
Yep. Just ask Georgia. Texas' QB gave them fits tonight.
When 100% of your recruits are 5 star players --like they are at LSU-- losing a few guys on defense really isn't that big of a deal. It's "Plug and Play". A coach simply replaces a great player with another great player. At least that's what all the recruiting rankings tell us. But losing any starting QB --especially one that has won 24 straight games-- is much more substantial.
You got that right. You know it is hard to imagine that over all these years LSU never seems to get it together at QB. Of course, we now are stuck with Skip and J'Mar.
That is freaking awesome! I am going to take that and $5 to Starbucks in the morning and enjoy a coffee.
Since Utah and UGA lost, only Tech and Wisconsin continue on the bowl win streak, now 5 straight years.
As I recall, when I started following this there were 24 schools who had won back to back bowl games, that would have been after we won the N.O. Bowl in 2015. Then it was down to 13 after 2016 and down to 4 after 2017, now down to 2 after 2018.
If nothing else it shows how "difficult" it is to make a bowl and win them consistently. Some of the schools who were part of that 24 number after 2015, failed to make a bowl after that, and were thus eliminated.
"Difficult" to make a bowl? Well there are 132 FBS schools, and while it is NOT difficult to make a bowl in any given year...there are 78 slots and sometimes all you need is 6 wins...apparently the difficulty level increases exponentially when considering making a bowl over even a 3-year span. Tulane made a bowl this year with 6 wins. But that marked just their 5th bowl appearance in their entire 100 yr history, and they will likely not make a bowl next year.
Anyway, going back to pre-season 2014, if all 132 schools had gotten together and set as a goal to win 5 straight bowls in the next 5 years, one would think that more would have accomplished that feat. Given the number of bowls and how easy it is to qualify for one, it wouldn't appear to be that daunting of a task. Yet, here we are, 5 years later, and only Tech and Wisconsin...2 out of 132...still stand. Just saying....
Go Dawgs!
Marshall has won 7 straight bowl games they played in, but they did it over 10 years, missing out on a bowl 3 times during that period.
Good old Memorial Gym
The 2020 winter classic being held in the Cotton Bowl is likely to preclude this bowl from being held in the Cotton Bowl in 2019 (unless it is moved to before Christmas). SMU might be an option, or does another city make a bid to ESPN to host.
