Hopefully this light a fire and gets em going for next year. Last Edited: 12/6/2014 11:30:18 PM by Casper71 Back to Top Tyler General User Member Since: 7/7/2010 Location: Arizona Post Count: 894 Status: Offline     RE: The Chase for Bowl Eligibility    Posted: 12/6/2014 11:43:10 PM  I was holding out hope that we would make it to a bowl, but pretty much everything went wrong for us today. Marshall won, and Boise State is taking care of Fresno State 21-0 at halftime. There goes NIU's chance of making an access bowl. O$U is having their way with Wisconsin. That kills any chance of three B1G teams being selected for the access bowls and letting us slip into their unfulfilled Quick Lane Bowl spot. Plus, Oklahoma State and Temple won, adding to the list of 6-6 teams. The only hope I have is that one of the MAC bowls thinks we are more appealing than CMU, despite their better record and head-to-head victory over us. These bottom-tier bowls care more about ratings than which teams deserve to be there, so there's a chance they think we would draw more viewers than CMU (probably true). ESPN owns the Boca Raton, Camellia, and Potato Bowls, and we had three MACtion games vs. zero for CMU, so you never know. I give us about a 0.01% chance of being selected tomorrow.

A lotof times, this hurts us. In this case, that helps us. 6-6 Ohio for bigger $ vs. 7-5 CMU who beat Ohio. I've seen crazier things happen.

Our season has been over since the Miami game. In some hope springs eternal. They are the ones who, at church today, will sign up for the fund raiser, get there early, set up the tables, stay to the end, put the tables away, smiling the whole time. You know the ones who when they get finished will come over to help you. You know the ones you want with you when it is time to get something done. You know the guy, the one at the Legion meeting with the broken arm, who still grabs the broom after to help clean up. The thought process is about what we are doing and making what we are doing work. I am definitely not talking about the guy who decides when the tables are nearly all set up that they need to run the other way. Not the guy who missed the work, but after will tell everyone how it should have been done better. "Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men."

That is, which among 6-6 teams might sell a few more tickets than others and put on a performance that will keep TV viewers tuned in and perhaps watching ads. I can think of one 6-6 team that defines boredom: Temple. A virtually imperceptible fan base. And a team virtually incapable of scoring: over its last 7 games, Temple averaged 12.3 pts. http://www.facebook.com/mikejohnson.author Back to Top BillyTheCat General User Member Since: 10/6/2012 Post Count: 9,486 Status: Offline     RE: Boredom    Posted: 12/7/2014 9:41:34 AM  Word on the street is that MAC is going to push to move NIU up the Bowl ladder and slide OHIO in. Cats still practicing so I'd say someone knows something.

Somehow our "friends" in the MAC seem to pull strings that favor Ohio. Last year Toledo got shafted with us getting in and them not going, but I feel like we'll sneak into one again. Not sure which one, but I think we'll get one of them.

Worth if it happens wouldn't be bad because DFW has cheap airfare. Pricing around $230 for New Year's Day weekend.
