2024 bowl projections thread

Who knows if we would have gotten smacked? It is what it is I guess. Hope a lot of that money goes to NIL.

If McCord wouldn’t play we sure would and we have no clue if he would have played, no matter the opponent

You have no clue if McCord plays in any bowl game regardless of the opponent. Im not acting like that, I happen to think its way more of a fun trip for the players. Lordy.

I don't blame you but you have been thrilled that we are playing in San Diego and that you could see them. Once again, I don't blame you. As for McCord, I take him at his word. He said he wanted to see who we were playing. But honest to God, I wouldn't like this game if all of our guys played. For me, there just isn't that much to gain. Now, throw in a better opponent and I would go to this bowl. It's about what this game can do for the program going forward. Not the place.

An unexciting matchup that does nothing for us if we win, yet still have a decent chance of losing to in an embarrassing fashion? Yep.

10 wins does a lot for us if we win. That’s a truly special season that Fran will be able to capitalize on.

 

[CanadianSU]

Who hired Fran, nobody would have done that with his inexperience in the position the program has been in.

That has nothing to do with connections and obviously was an A+ hire.

Damnit. So disappointing. This doesn't move the needle whatsover

flights were cheap 2 weeks ago. People could have bought and cancelled or booked pts.

 

[JarHeadJim]

Are we playing this game on the deck of an aircraft carrier?

 

[anomander]

you are alone. This is not good. We were just showed our place regardless of what we do on the field.

Looking for someone to sit with or a group of us. I'll be heading over to SD by myself and then heading to LA to visit my son.

San Diego is a great place for a bowl holiday experience. For those who’ve never been here, welcome to SoCal

 

[Day2]

And you are acting like because you get to see the game it is the most important thing. Not for the rest of us. I wanted a quality opponent. San Diego is fine as long as it was a real good foe. Someone that would move the needle. This doesn't do that. Have fun at the game.

That’s not true at all. There are a lot of people complaining because they could have traveled to the Gator/Pop-Tarts, but can’t travel to the Holiday.

Has nothing to do with the AD. SU the administration isn't eating a mill or a mill five to guarantee the Gator

Nor should they. Put the money toward players or the AD budget.

10 wins does a lot for us if we win. That’s a truly special season that Fran will be able to capitalize on.

Just have to hope all the backups can get us to that point. I'm not sure how many WSU has sitting, but I can't imagine it'll be a ton.

Beat Stanford and a 10 win Cuse team is not overlooked.

 

[qdawgg]

I never met Dan but Daniel had some nice cans!

You mean Danielle……. Potentially. I mean, Daniel may also have had nice cans

 

[dasher]

Seems like a great business guy. Every program except the one where the coach reached out for an interview is doing fantastic.

Hey, he showed more stones that you can even imagine making that hire. He was pressured by boosters to make a ridiculous hire. Instead, he hired someone with zero head coaching experience and no coordinator experience. Give credit where credit is due.

 

[kcsu]

I think fans are more disappointed than the players here. SanDiego is a sweet trip.

Vs Jacksonville ya think. I'm psyched for the kids

 

[Lukeyloo]

Good destination for the team, but crappy matchup. I doubt our stars play.

Now, throw in a better opponent and I would go to this bowl. It's about what this game can do for the program going forward. Now the place.

I understand that point of view. Of course im happy they are playing here. A tenth win is nothing to sneeze at plus I think it’ll be an amazing trip for the players.

 

[Orangezoo]

Wazzu was 8-1 to start the year then lost to 3 straight under .500 teams including Wyoming. The pac 12 getting to keep their bowl tie ins is garbage in hindsight here

 

[crales44]

No, South Florida is the team that most of you gave the Wazzu treatment last year.

I didn't talk any smack about South Florida last year, so you can cut that nonsense out. Also, I guarantee you that nothing said on this message board last year or this year has any impact AT ALL on the result on the field in the game.

 

[Cuse House]

Washington State has exactly 0 ranked wins. 8-4 on a 3 game losing streak. They beat up on cupcakes and got blown out by Boise State. Give me a break.

Not really. This is still a team with losses to Stanford, Pitt, BC.

When you don’t make the playoff it’s just bowl roulette. Still disappointing yes but I don’t think it’s that deep.

 

[NKR1978]

you are alone. This is not good. We were just showed our place regardless of what we do on the field.

This is a histrionic reaction when arguably the Holliday Bowl is better. No one outside of our fan base cares about whether we’re in the holiday bowl or the gator.

 

[qdawgg]

Seems like a great business guy. Every program except the one where the coach reached out for an interview is doing fantastic.

You’re acting very pouty today. Why don’t you take a break.
