Week 15 Bowl Projections
- Thread starter Babe the Blue Ox
- Start date
This sounds like ESPN wants to be the Zaven showcase except he is not likely to play in any bowl game.
Huffy, you alluded in a recent post about Player leaving...hoping that was a slip. Would hate to see him leave early via transfer if he's not going to the NFL.
Does that mean he’s more of a mob boss or a Jewish mother in law?
Sunbelt championship game cancelled due to Covid at Coastal.
Teams declared co-champs.
It was prolly Cincy or CC before with a small chance for Louisiana and an even smaller one for us.
Now, it's Cincinnati or CC. Absolutely no chance for us, win or lose.
We beat Cincy and that gives it to CC.
We are only in the spoiler role.
I hate Cincy and CC now.
Well now I'm just waiting for Cincy to cancel to make sure they get the NY6 game. Should be any minute now
This is all so stupid. This is supposed to be competitive sports and it has degenerated into game skipping for advantage. We all knew it was not an even playing field for all teams in the past but it has gone to the absurd now. T
he only thing we have going for us is that ESPN/ABC has a prime time slot for the game and will have to come up with alternative programming if the game does not happen. Will probably lose significant ad revenue. So would the conference - they recently got a logo sponsor for the game.
The Sunbelt game, on the other hand, was on ESPN2, much smaller audience and ad revenue tied to it.
This all suggests to me there will be a game. But watch me be wrong tomorrow!

Iirc, the agreed on protocol at the beginning of the year was that Wednesday testing meant results no later than 3pm on Thursday. After that, no cancellations. That doesn’t mean Commissioner Monkey Business can’t pull the plug, but Cincy can’t at this point.
I assume that’s why we didn’t see ticket sales until the Monday tests came back cool

Kelly Hines tweeted out this AM the game will for sure be played. I think at this point, if Cincy bails then it should be a forfeit. I am sure we are already in Cincinnati for the game. Once that happens, play or shut up.
Sun Belt Championship game canceled: Cajuns AD says people can draw their own conclusions
UL AD Bryan Maggard supports people 'drawing their own conclusions' as to why the Sun Belt championship at Coastal Carolina really was canceled.

Yeah it was more of a joke then anything. Though for some reason I still wouldn't be surprised. Nothing is surprising me this year. It's just unfortunate teams are using it as an excuse in order to help get the best bowl game possible for them. You know the CCU cancellation is BS. A team that had no issues whatsoever until conveniently the Thursday before the championship game. I am still afraid theres going to be some fishy officiating going on. Noyhing too obvious, but phantom holdings in touchdowns or ridiculous PI. That may just be my pessimistic attitude coming through though
Almost 100% guaranteed one of our primary defenders gets tossed for targeting early on.
Honestly I think this is likely as well as a lot of holds by our line. I’ve been wondering if we beat Cincinnati might they stay high enough in the playoff rankings to stay above CC? The committee has seemed to penalize teams that don’t play while rewarding teams who lose to another ranked team by not dropping them much.
I dont have any official information from the school, but around the water cooler on Glenn Dobbs Dr, the word is Military Bowl if we lose. Which is consistent with what other sources have told me off campus, including the one above.
The way it’s been explained to me, they have no idea what will happen if we win. Everybody will be watching Alabama and Florida while we play, so the conventional wisdom is that we can’t change minds. If we win big, Cincy was never good, etc., since they didn’t actually watch us except maybe highlights.
On the other hand, if we win close or lose, there’s a good chance it will be Military Bowl either way, unless some crazy polling happens.
If we lose bad, there’s an element of doubt about the Military Bowl. But not much.
Once Alabama has pulled away in the first quarter they will change channels.
usc is so overrated. The pac12 is not as good as the AAC
I wouldn't mind the Military vs Boise .....an old rival that needs a good ass kickin!!!
NUKE covidnatty!!!
NUKE covidnatty!!!Is the military bowl in the stadium where we played Navy a few weeks ago.I wouldn't mind the Military vs Boise .....an old rival that needs a good ass kickin!!!
Unless there is a waiver. And they are working on that as I understand it.
Never beaten them. So it is about time. Not the worst possibility.I wouldn't mind the Military vs Boise .....an old rival that needs a good ass kickin!!!
I live out here. I go to the game when TU comes here but noooo we have to have a pandemic. Two more years I have to wait now
I wonder if someone will request a change of venue if the waiver is denied. Having these guys play the 12th place team from the Big 10 with no family members present just seems wrong.
McMurphy is now projecting that the Military bowl will be cancelled due to a lack of available teams. Projection is now vs Army in Shreveport.
