2019 Bowl Watch

[ManAboutTown]

The average Joe that isn't a fan of either UL or La Tech will subconsciously associate the bowl we play Miami of Ohio in as being a lower tier bowl than the one Tech played the University of Miami in. This is the type of thing that helps keep La Tech's brand better known than ours is.

La Tech was very lucky to draw such a weak P5 opponent for their bowl game.

Average Joe fan associates Miami FL with a dumpster fire.. Not a P5 powerhouse, conference or significant win of any kind.. Again, check the social media platforms, fan boards and ESPN.. I have not seen a single person say "What a great win for LaTech an the G5!"

only twice out of last ten seasons has the independence bowl had the p5 vs p5 matchup the tie ins dictate.....it is a shame that the p5 can hog up,a bowl tie in they can never fill. imagine if sunbelt couldnt fill all its tie ins, you would hear media screaming from roof tops to cancel the bowl.

that coupled with numerous sponsor changes, maybe that bowl should be on the chopping block before one of the sunbelt bowls or sunbelt should get the tie in and try to save it?

sunbelt in that time period tripled their number of bowl eligible teams/slots. a certain p5 actually now has less bowl eligible teams than they had back then...has any other conf p5 or g5 doubled its slots?

Spot on... unfortunately for Tech, the mantra is look how far The U has fallen to lose to a G5 member. It's so bad they Diaz, who is a piece of ____ for what he did at Temple is cleaning house. The story being spun is a marketing nightmare for Miami in all phases. I wish we could play p5 teams when they down on their luck like this

We do. We just blow it. Florida, Miss St., etc.

Let's hope we break the cycle at Mizzou.

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

So are the highest ranked teams in America. You can’t fit 6 games in the same day without overlapping.

Wrong again. G5 football is just G5 football until your program does something special. (i.e. Western Michigan, Houston, Boise St, UCF, Memphis)

The casual fan will band wagon their arses off during our run to the NY6 bowl game next year. Watch.

Almost a 3rd of the top 30-35 teams in the country are G-5s I think---need to double check!!!

I understand that. The "commitment" of a G5 playing on New Year's is what I'm pointing out. Slowly shuffled out the picture.

All lies, you’re so delusional. We have gotten congratulations from all over the country. Everyone saw that goose egg. Every one knows Louisiana Tech plays good football. Trust me they know.

I'm delusional?! Rich coming from a Polytechnic tout. You people wrote the book on delusion.

No one is congratulating Poly nationally, locally, regionally or whatever you want to look at.
(The reach-arounds that you people are giving one another does not count) . Not a sinlge person has said "wow, what a great performance by LaNech!" LITERALLY everyone is saying, "Miami is a tire fire."

But 3 of the 6 don’t play on New Year’s Day and the 2 biggest games aren’t on New Years, I just don’t see it in a negative light. Last year UCF played on New Year’s Day, I think it has more to do with the shuffling of the bowl game contracts than the G5 being shuffled out the NY6 picture.

Double secret DM Private congratulations don't count.

Sorry I will not be talking ____ about La Turd @ Ruston until we beat them. All of these great football analyses and coaches that we have on Ragin Pagin told us that in 2014 and 2015 we were going to crush them. This board does not have a great record on predictions, me included.
