Heard Beef O Bowl

[LetsGoOrange44]

For what it's worth, heard St. Pete Beef O'Brady a high probability. Will be happy regardless of where we go.

Let's Go Orange!!!

That would be a great lead in to the holidays

. Now does Rutgers and smu both have to lose or both?

Can't wait for Sunday and hopefully the end of these "inside" rumors falling from the sky.

It sounded as if it was regardless of Saturday's games. Not gospel though, so take it for what it's worth.

You made me remember the good old skylab days and just pictured pieces of stadiums falling from the sky.

Yahoo Sports agrees.

I agree with you. This was someone with clout, but I try not to probe too much when these people say things like this.

It is certainly more fun to speculate now than it was with about 2:50 to go in the bc game.

 

[oldpinepoint]

I heard the same actually

 

[Cuseman78]

Best case scenario considering that this falls a week before the Nova game and also for the fact that the team would like to hit up a warm spot this go around. I don't care who they are playing, this is best case scenario.

 

[retro44]

great, I will be a short distance from that game

 

[OttoMets]

Would rather the kids get to go someplace new, and it'd be nice to avoid another hoops/football conflict.

But could we go to a bowl game whose name doesn't look absurd when we memorialize it on a Dome banner for the next few decades?

 

[Orangello]

against East Carolina......

Question - given that one of the advantages of making a bowl is the additional practice time - does playing in one of these early bowls eat in to any of that and in that way represent a negative? For the players it's clearly a win versus going to brokesville or a return trip to NYC (loved the first two but give it a rest for a year or two then people will be ok w/ a return trip). But just wondering what this does with the practices.

Considering that the BeefO is on Dec. 23rd and the announcement is likely Sunday Dec. 8th, it's possible we don't get the full 15 practices in.

Yes we will. We are hardnosed.

Two negatives to the Beef:

It comes and goes before you know it. There's no buildup.

It's played at 2 on the Monday before Christmas. Most people are at work or getting ready to leave work for the holidays. Ratings will be real low. No one, except the diehards of the playing teams, will be watching.

 

[djorange1989]

This bowl completely makes sense, yet there are still those pesky reports of the secondary deal with the MAC in this bowl. I suppose that can either be broken or they can find a home for the displaced MAC team. All I know is the Beef people would much rather have SU than Ohio or Toledo.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

I'd feel good about that. This would also validate the Nunes' blog quest for beef thing from a while back.

 

[All4SU]

Any bowl is good. Still hoping for Dallas.

 

[IthacaBarrel]

The loss of 4-5 practices could set the program back years!

At least the location is good incentive for northerners and NY transplants to FL.

 

[jr4750]

How about the positives of playing a bowl game in FL, where we are very much recruiting!

 

[TexanMark]

I still have my doubts (Backup Agreement)but if we get it...folks up in Cuse better look at flying Allegiant out of Syracuse, Elmira, Niagara Falls, Newburgh and Scranton.

Is it possible to have 2 practices some days?
