Dumbest post ever. Care to explain? one team shows up with everything to play for and can't beat a crap team who has nothing to play for. Please explain why this team belongs in a bowl game with the current crop of bowl eligible teams! in my mind, it's pretty simple.  If we can go to a bowl game and make money, go.  If the bowl costs us money, stay home.  We're talking furloughs at OU next year.  The athletics department had to cut their business manager.  Playing in a bowl that means absolutely nothing is an expense we can forgo.

You thought Rufus was bad. We're talking about negative segments on PTI, Sportscenter, EPSN.com etc. If you think we arent taken seriously now, wait and see what happens if we decline a bid. Not to mention what recruit would ever want to come here?

Could Papa John be keeping L'ville out of the Little Caesar's, and thus their last best hope for a bowl?  PJ is a local L'ville company and has the naming rights to the U of L's new stadium.  One fan (maybe not seriously) suggested that PJ could cut off the U of L if they went to Detroit: http://www.cardchronicle.com/2010/11/28/1841285/what-bowl...

Please explain why this team belongs in a bowl game with the current crop of bowl eligible teams! Your basing the decision of bowl worthiness on ONE game.  I wanted the Bobcats to win the game also, but come on.  The season is 12 games long and teams become eligible at 6-6, to make that statement after the Kent game is lame.  Look at the whole body of work.  This team is eligible and deserving.

It would be a killer on the recruiting trail as well.

Exactly. This team is as deserving of a bowl game as either of the last two Ohio bowl teams. What the Bobcats overcame to have such a great season was extroidinary. The team lost arguably its three best players within the first few weeks of the year! They deserve to get to play one more time and try to make up for the one bad game (well, Louisiana-Lafayette wasn't that great either) they played out of the last eight.

Dumbest post ever. Care to explain? one team shows up with everything to play for and can't beat a crap team who has nothing to play for. Please explain why this team belongs in a bowl game with the current crop of bowl eligible teams! By this idiotic logic there would be about 10 teams that would be bowling.  Temple can't go because they lost with the MAC East on the line. Northern can't go because they lost to an inferior team in the MAC Championship.  NC State can't go because they lost to Maryland with the ACC Championship game on the line. Alabama can't go because they were winning big with the SEC Championship on the line and let it slip away. Boise State can't go because they choked away an undefeated season. Losing to Kent does stink but it doesn't take away from the fact that this team accomplished some pretty darn good things this year. If they don't come up huge in Oxford and Philly then the Kent game means nothing anyway. The Bobcats earned a bowl game and they should enjoy what they earned through extremely hard work.   No matter what some knee-jerk computer jockeys have to say this was a good season that just happened to have a very disappointing conclusion, unless, of course, we can win a bowl game.  That is why it was the dumbest post ever.

Agree with you 100% about goals Ben and i also agree that a decision to forgo a bowl could be the number 1 sports story in America.  However, watching friends lose their jobs while we continue play games that have no bearing on a league or national title isn't much fun.  Other than the NIT and CBI, there aren't any other post season opportunities in any college sport after you have played the last meaningful game of the season.  And it those two cases at least you're playing in a tournament where there is a recognized tournament champion that hangs banners in the winners gym.
