Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 465355, member: 289"] It was said by many that a factor in the Pinstripe Bowl is that we wanted to be there and West Virginia, which had been dreaming of national championships and Heisman trophys or at least a warmer venue, did not. USC didn't even show up for the banquet the bowl put on and basically didn't show up for the game either. I have a suggestion: If you don't want to go to a bowl game, don't go. SU's 1960 team, disappointed in a 7-2 record after hoping to win a national title, voted not to go to a bowl game. Notyhing says you have to go to one of these minor bowls. You'll lose money anyway. Let somebody else go instead. It's also an indication that there are too many bowls. if there were, say a dozen or so, being in one would mean something and teams would have more enthusiasm for them.
