It's called a clarifier since UL's opponent wants to be called Miami.

I was just trying to avoid irrational deconstruction usage of "Ohio"

More mad respect for Tech.

Well, notice how the NY6 G5 team this year, Memphis, is playing tomorrow, the 28th.

The two games yesterday are in stark contrast to some of the games today. Bouncing between the Texas bowl and the Holiday bowl. The difference is dramatic. Just goes to show that there are way too many bowl games. The four teams that played yesterday had no business in a bowl game.

Tech won 10 games this year. Under your analysis, this year would be the first year the Cajuns “have any business in a bowl game”

Number of wins has nothing to do with it. It's the quality of the games. The games yesterday were just poor. For the most part, the games today are much better. There are just too many bowl games and the quality of the games suffer.

You must have missed the links in this thread about the national attention this bowl garnered. Tech is not getting love and respect, Miami is getting ridiculed.

Number of wins has everything to do with getting into a bowl game. Even more so with less bowls.

Over and over again. The dog killers don’t even get mentioned....it is only implied (and stated outright) what an embarrassment it is to lose to them.
