After spending 20 years in the broadcast wilderness, I'll never be disappointed about what bowl game we are in.
Larry Coker - 2001 Miami....National Champions - 2002.....Runners UP. From then on, nothing. Nebraska hasn't been relevant since Tom Osborne quit. USC post-Pete Carroll, nada. UCLA - the 80's. The list goes on. Hell, even Texas post Mack Brown hasn't done anything. Talent doesn't get it done. Keeping a good coach and clean program will. A good coach attracts the talent and places them in the right spot for the betterment of the team. A clean program keeps them coming versus chasing them away.
I agree, we wouldn't make a NY6 Bowl if we lost to Texas, but I'm not sure if we would end up in a game like the New Orleans Bowl if we were 12-1. The four times we won in the NOLA Bowl, we were finishing the regular season 8-4, so I think we could end up in something better than that. Just my opinion though.
