Message: [QUOTE="Cheriehoop, post: 849806, member: 127"] I haven't read this entire thread but from what I gather the crux of Minnie's objections revolve around: #1)They believe they deserved a better opponent in the Bowl ( so winning in blow-out fashion is just an assumption on their part) #2)They also aren't excited because they are going to the Texas Bowl twice in a row (we went twice in a row to the Pinstripe so to SU fans regarding their whining -meh) #3)They think they deserve a better bowl (so not only SU is given no respect neither is Houston and the Texas Bowl) Just some disjointed thoughts: Didn't Minnesota lose last year? They think they have proven they are a worthy team by not only by losing last year but their last 5 bowl games? So their uber confidence is pretty strange. Wasn't Minnesota 6-6 last year? Wonder how disappointed the 7-5 Texas Tech team was playing Minny? Saw that last years game was the lowest attended Texas Bowl game in its history. So how many Minny fans were excited last year by attending the bowl game since Texas Tech was in their home state yet attendance was even lower than the next lowest attended bowl, the Rutgers-Kansas St matchup in 2006? Makes one wonder how many Texas Tech fans were excited to travel just 7 hours to play Minnesota last year? The Big 10 is 1-2 in this bowl with both losses in the last 2 years - Minnesota and Northwestern. Makes me wonder how thrilled the Texas Bowl is having Minnesota there twice also. Minnesota has a 5-10 record in 15 bowl games so maybe they don't get excited about any bowl games and SU shouldn't take it personally. :rolleyes: By the way Syracuse University is 14-9-1 in their 24 bowl games. We know it will be a battle and realize there is work to be done particularly in light of our injuries - they don't - good for us. The more I learn, the more confused I am about many of their fan's attitude and realistic assessment of their program's accomplishments to date but for us - it's a good thing. [/QUOTE]
