Other Bowl Games

The #novaAZBOWL has already sold 34,000 tickets for Nevada vs Arkansas State; the bowl organizers credit that to keeping the game on a Saturday (1:15pm ET on CBSSN): https://t.co/fDOFKA61im

They're benefiting from an extra two weeks, and after Christmas instead of before. Still kudos to both.

so maybe there arent too many bowl games, just too many before christmas? imagine if many games could be on tv simultaneously on different networks? ....magic wand style?

I think that's a pipe dream at this point. There's simply nowhere to go. Even if the P5 became the P4 by jettisoning off a few of its low achieving members, aligning with those cast away's in some sort of scheduling alliance wouldn't change anything. We'd still be in the group of have not's, though I guess we'd be in the tallest midget club.

I suppose I need to take back everything I said earlier about us needing to take heed of La Tech's bowl winning streak. Nothing anybody does at the G5 level will really change anything.

You must be a riot at parties. I bet the turd in the punchbowl is jealous.

Think of the few fans that actually made the trip. Well, at least there's a casino or two nearby.

Tulane lol

Have the necksters EVER beaten Tulane? I looked it up. The answer is apparently NO.

I shouldn't be such a richard head, I apologize to Oiler. The problem I have with people who seem to want to give up before even trying is this:

People who know a boatload more about this stuff than I.......the business of college athletics........believe there are some major changes coming over the next 5-7 years for programs in our situation because the current models are unsustainable. I believe them.

Okay, so we don't know exactly what those changes might be yet. But does it not make sense to do everything possible to prepare, and to put yourself in the best possible position when the target becomes more clear?

My dad always said that luck was when preparation and opportunity crossed paths.

I expect our program to be prepared and damned lucky as well!

Or we could do like we have done in the past and and lock into where we are or below in the future.

I prefer your path.

I think they could find a few things to do in Dallas

And, of course, even if NOTHING HAPPENS, we're still the better for it by having improved our facilities, weaned ourselves off the LSU-dominated state legislature teat, grown our athletic budget, hired better coaches, yada yada yada.

But then, doing that stuff is FREAKIN' HARD.

To quote JFK,

We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard; because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one we intend to win, and the others, too.
