Extra Practices

So if we get the st pete bowl(one of the first bowls) do we still get 15 practices?

Actually Miami would be worse. St. Pete is almost 4 weeks away.

I'm sure Brad will be excited about the extra bowl posts on TheBullsPen.

Agreed! It is good to see USF fans come back. Good to see more activity I on the Bullspen

No one is saying extra practices = guaranteed success the following season. 

Extra football is never a bad thing.

Not making the AACCG this year gives our team a reason to be pissed off and strive to be the undeniable division champs next year and play for - and win - the game.

This.

It's not the extra practices that count, it's making the extra practices count.

Which is fine but not  necessarily a huge competitive advantage. 

It's impossible to quantify because you never know the answer to "what ifs". But there are certainly ways to frame it in a positive light - only one time in the program's history have we gotten these extra practices and failed to go to a bowl the next year. Who knows how much of a contribution it really makes to next season, but I've always heard that the coaches consider it incredibly valuable so that's good enough for me.
