Memphis comes out guns blazing, scores on first drive and misses PT

6 to 0

Memphis is up big over Iowa State.  You know they'll say that the P5 team didn't want to be there.

Didn't have the sound on but the QB from Iowa State is from Wesley Chapel according to one of the graphics I saw.

Cool fact.  Poor guy going to Ames, IA.  Must be miserable.  LOL.   I turned it now that it's a blowout.

Memphis is looking tough. They return their QB next year.

That excuse doesn't work.

The AAC is minor league college football. More often than not, they will lose their bowl games against P5 teams. It is what it is. 

While bowl games are not meaningless to the players playing or (usually) their fans, in the modern climate, most if not all of the games bear no relevance to how good the team was in the regular season or how good they may be in the coming year.  So I watch solely for entertainment and don't get too caught up in who beats who.

That said, I did enjoy the back-to-back outcome of games from Boca and Tampa.

Our bowl game is a good example of why they can still matter.

There is money to be made if you research as well, makes watching even that much more entertaining.  I agree though, it means nothing unless you win 45-0, then to me it was a playoff game.

They are as indicative as any other game of the season IMO. How good a team is is not determined from the result of a single game, but the culmination of the season and the visual and statistical growth that occurs throughout the year, hopefully resulting in increased program awareness and subsequent higher level recruiting.
