stAte Not Going To Liberty Bowl???

Why are we so mad at Middle? Wouldn't we have done the same thing? (Bolt for CUSA)

IMO, yep. The hurt just needs to settle. I think the biggest thing is we don't know why we were left out of the conversation. No information or facts leads to speculation.

With all due respect Crowley if you don't understand exactly why we were left out of the conversation you aren't paying any attention.

Budget and Media Market. It's that simple.

That is what you call F you, don't let the door hit you in the @ s s. Had we been the ones leaving our old conference mates stuck in the belt would be laughing at our misfortune of being passed over for a bowl. It is the circle of life!

"sunbelt shouldn't allow its 4th place team to accept a bid before anyone else"

I don't think ulm was first to take a bid?

I believe it was the tied for 2nd place team that took the first bid??

Yep

And read CajunMikes thread.

He untied it.

if this does come to pass, i will be glad re: middle. but the tech situation is like giving a toddler a good lollipop because he's throwing a temper tantrum.

No, if Tech gets to play Purdue in Dallas, it will be because they were willing to risk sitting at home in order to pursue a higher goal. Anything worth having always involves taking risks. La Tech goes out on a limb regularly and it has paid off for them. We take the safe road and now we sit in a conference that is sinking into irrelevance. We can criticize them all day long, but the truth is, La Tech will have once again gotten what they reached for.

I am not mad at Middle, I just do not want my competitor to get anything. They IMO are already CUSA and therefore am happy a CUSA team gets left out.

What don't you get about that? It is not saying UL would not have done the same thing.


Liberty? Unless they have a knockout team, they just lost their financial butts. I mean I get Ole Miss, but Iowa State? ESPN has their dirty fingers all over this.

Independence Bowl? ULM over LTU? Knowing LTU will almost without doubt not play ULM. Could it be LTU really had another bowl already locked up they preferred. We will know if they go bowling over 350 miles from home and not a big time bowl.

Would we have? After reading Farmers interview I am not sure we would have. He talks about being completed shocked by Middle leaving and that teams in the belt had talked about sticking together. What if we would have gotten the first call by cusa? Would we have taken it?
