2024 bowl projections thread

[hoopsupstate]

I love the location, I just believe the opponent is more important this year. Its disheartening to hear that the university may not have been willing to put more skin in the game themselves to guarantee a more exciting opponent.

All this goes away if its Duke vs Florida.

If JW agrees to eat $1 million our hoops teams will be traveling by electric bikes.

Could be worse. We could be playing toledo in detroit

 

[Bulldog04]

I just wanted powerhouse opponent. The amount of eye balls on cuse versus bama or Florida would be wildly different than what we have now. Probably would be most watched bowl outside of CFP

 

[Oakland]

That was quick.

San Diego is a fine location, but opponent is the only thing that matters. This is a big 0 on the fun meter. Gator vs an SEC team is what we deserved and would be best for the program. We’re playing a team without a conference that still has a tie in. So mad right now.

As was posted above, the dumb tie in with PAC 2 for a bowl like this is so stupid and what hurts at the end of the day. No way the PAC 2 should have had a potential tie in with this bowl. It’s an excellent bowl and we deserve that, Washington State does not

 

[Cuse House]

I will say this, I hope everyone plays and we wipe the floor with Washington St. Not pleased, but let’s hope we at least perform.

The hoops team may get less than 10 wins this year. Add pedals to those bikes, they’re sucking wind after the first half

 

[FRANKIEFAN]

Great bowl probably my favorite shame we couldn't get a better opponent.

 

[JeffCuse]

Jesus you think we have it bad, Pitt is going to freaking Detroit

Meh CBB is dead anyways outside of March (and we won’t be in March madness again anyways)

Who cares. They suck. Stick them on mopeds till they do something.

The key aspects of a bowl’s prestige and impact are a) opponent, and b) date relative to January 1st. Gator is January second, a date that is associated with a successful season. Holiday bowl is December 27, a date associated with bringing those pants you got from Aunt Joanie that don’t fit, back to the store for exchange.

Florida isn’t in gator

I think this is great for the program to go to san diego in the winter for a bowl game. I don't understand the disappointment, a team like ole miss or alabama in a hypothetical bowl game would have so many opt outs that you can't even say they would be a better team than WSU. The location matters more than who we play in my opinion. This is a great opportunity to build team chemistry for the next season.

Spot on. I know for the east coast fans it’s a let down but people are acting like it’s the pinstripe or military bowl. This allows our team to go to a great weather location and we do have a lot of fans on the west coast. I’ll be there with at least 8 or more.
Players and team get a jump start on winter and spring workouts. Regardless of the opponent Fran will sell it to recruits. Only possible opt outs I see is McCord and OG. I see everyone else playing.
McCord may play to get more exposure for nfl scouts.

 

[Trueblue25]

Im going to stick by my initial take. This is a bowl worth going to.

I hope McCord announces he’s in. We need to win this

 

[djorange1989]

That sums it up. I understand the frustration over the opponent but too many people acting like the actual bowl sucks, it doesn’t at all, not close

umm yes i can

After all that we’re headed to the whale’s vagina.

Wouldnt hold my breath

Our fans travel for bowls and put up with garbage for two decades. It says more about the university.

I’m just questioning your logic. Our AD should not sacrifice $$$ for the sake of a bowl game.

 

[Kalima45]

It just seems to me that it would make more sense to put our 9-3 22nd ranked team in the Gator then to have us fly all the way over to California for a game. Wouldn't that cost more money? Shouldn't that be put onto a lower ranked team in Duke? I don't know how the finances work out with all these games but that's my perception at least.

 

[AngryOtto]

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

I was at that game.

 

[Orangezoo]

At least the payout should be decent for the Holiday Bowl. 5.87 million this year( split of course). Nothing I’ve seen yet on what Gator will be

Yea…… I’ll take wsu over us getting murdered by bama and risking McCord getting seriously injured.stuff our pockets, get the win and let’s go home. I for one am extremely excited to see what the freshman qb has to offer. Let’s face it if you’re not in the playoffs then the only thing that matters is a pay day with these bowls. ( in simple terms).

 

[SanDiegoCuse]

If Washington had beat Wazzou it would have been a more attractive matchup but a steel cage match in my house. Haha.
