Who will be the Bowl Game QB?

[lafman1]

Anyone who thinks a bowl game doesn’t matter should just ask any team not going to a bowl game if they are happy or would like to be playing one more game!

It also signifies that the team did not have a losing regular season record.

Rice was 5-7 in 2022. Played the Lending Tree bowl game, which they lost.

Nothing till after bowl game...

First ever bowl game in 2011 and some fans acted like they won a natty. Now fans think they are “meaningless”
Hilarious!
So spoiled.

If you think this is what it’s about, you’re a ____ing idiot.

Announced or speculation

Being honored yesterday sealed it I believe.

Calling a bowl game meaningless is truly idiotic.

Announced or speculation

He is leaving.

[Turbine]

Any coach even THINKING of starting Zeon off that injury for a meaningless bowl game should be fired on the spot.

I have never watched a meaningless post season game.

Only jaded fans think this way, highschool recruits certainly don't.

[R1Letterman]

If fully recovered why not? If not fully recovered then I agree. Seems like nobody knows the severity though.

Good point. On a separate note, Is there a winter session of the manning camp?

[Cajunrunner]

Well calling it meaningless…

With a bowl game being 3-4 weeks out was hoping to get Chriss back. But not knowing the severity of the break was just looking for answers from anyone in the know. I think CF will do great if Chriss remains sidelined.

I referred to it as meaningless in the sense that you don’t rush back your hopeful future at QB after a broken leg to play in a game where while the result means something for the players, doesn’t really mean anything in the grand scheme of things. Winning would not put us in the Top 25. It would not put us in a conversation of even the Top 10 G5 teams for the season.

If this were a NY6 Bowl, or one to jockey for a Top 25 finish, then maybe you do consider starting Zeon if he’s healthy. But at this point, he should be given the bowl game off and hopefully returns 100% and in uniform for our program next season.

Yes, the bowl game means extra practice, a post season game for our seniors, and the chance to play on national TV. However, Fields should be the starter, Lunch the backup, and we win with those guys. Don’t risk reinjuring our future.

I believe that it was either Farmer or Maggard that said part of building a solid program was getting a bowl track record. Any bowl season invite is a gift. Remember, I’m class of 2001’. Bowl games were a pipe dream in my day and for the next decade.
