Bowl Logic

I fully expect that:

1) We will go to Birmingham on Dec 23 and Syracuse will beat us by 40+ points.
2) Des will be given a contract extension and a raise because he got us into a bowl game 2 years in a row.
3) We will have losing record for the next 4-seasons
4) Des will get a pay out to leave after the 2027 season.
5) We will have trouble finding a coach because our program will be recognized as one of those programs that will not make a commitment to football.

I could definitely see it playing out just like this, minus the bowl game.

Nothing shows lack of commitment like a $100 million stadium renovation

$100 million?

$100 million?

By the time east side is done, it’ll be close to that.

The only thing that matters about this bowl game is practice time and payout. If the game is in Alaska on Jan 2nd and paying $1.5 mm, you take it over a game close in proximity in Mid-December. Distance is irrelevant at this point. This fanbase won't travel, regardless. It is demoralized and disinterested.

Our athletic department usually taking bowl reservations by now.

I received an email saying thank you and to stay tuned for bowl ticket info... just before noon.

Didn't we play in the Artic Tundra Bowl last year for ~1.5M

Still would like to see the actual funding breakdown for the west side.. because I've heard several people that know more about it than I, say that a significant amount from the state is included in the west side funding... which sounds more and more like the East is still in the silent donor phase

They are wrong.
