Bowl Frustration!
I am as frustrated as everyone else about this whole situation but it is time to move on.
Were we as deserving or even more deserving than a few teams that got in? No doubt about it. This is not a knock on North Ill. or FAU because all they did was get invited. If they played the politics better than we did, more power to them. We should have done the same thing.
Did LA Tech have something to do with keeping us out? Maybe but if we would have handle our business and got to 7 wins it would not have mattered.
Did Wright Waters screw the conference? BIG TIME! His head should be on a platter for the mess he created but once again if we had handled our business it would not have mattered.
Should we have scheduled an FCS opponent to get to that 7 win mark? Maybe but our schedule was not that difficult. We played well against Illinois and Kansas State and I believe those games gave us some momentum the rest of the way through. We played a very weak schedule and still couldn't get to 7 wins so once again we have no one to blame but ourselves.
We can place blame on numerous people/groups but it will not do us any good because we still won't be in a bowl game. Truth be told we have no one to blame but ourselves for not winning that 7th game. It is very easy to place the blame on Tech, the Indy Bowl, Wright Waters, or whoever else you want to blame but we didn't handle our business and that is why we are sitting at home this bowl season. I feel bad for these seniors but time heals all wounds and I am sure this set back will make them stronger.
I do believe the conference needs to create rules on bowls within the conference. No reason the 4th place team goes bowling over the 2nd and 3rd place team. BUT there is not a rule so congrats FAU, I hope you pull it off against Central Michigan.
