2 Years, 2 BCS Bowl Wins !

[nobullaboutit]

Go Big East but better yet I like the sound of "The Year of the Bulls"  ;D

[bullman3]

I attended 3 levels of bowls this year, the PapaJohns.com, the Outback and the Orange.  I have been to a few Outback games, as well as the Meinke, but the Orange was the first BCS game I have attended.  I was torn the whole game on who I wanted to win.  I tried to convince myself that I wanted UL to win because it would be good for the conference, but I found myself getting excited on big WF plays.  I think in my heart I wanted WF to win just because of our history with UL, dating back to basketball and the Denny Crum era (Newbies, ask about those days),and to see the look of despair on the faces of those fans in red, but I knew the Big East would benefit from the UL win.

Anyway, the atmosphere from the tailgating, to the pregame events, to the half time show, and everything else was far above that of any other bowl I have been to.  Of course I was more into the game during the Meinke and PapaJohns, but the level of excitement and the overall atmosphere was so much higher at the Orange Bowl.  The whole time I was just wishing and picturing USF being there in the near future.  Could 07 be our year?  Or will it be '08?  Either way, I just hope we can field a team that can beat ul, wvu, pitt and ru the next couple of years so we can experience the BCS game watching USF.

Big East should lose it's automatic BCS bid.

Big East should lose it's automatic BCS bid.

Yeah, I think they should give it to C-USA.

Exactly, all this winning is not fair to the other conferences, it's time to let CUSA have it's turn.

Great post, bullman3.

Harvey, just think it's more beneficial to at least use evidence when making claims ( or at least state, "I am of the opinion that..."). I would love for you to write me an essay on the "Scandelous dealings of the SEC". It would be a great post, just make sure you complete a works sited page.

[HarveyGlass]

I don't have the time nor the ink and paper to complete such an undertaking. ;D

But as long as you don't read it, I guess it never happened.  So we're both winners.

[HarveyGlass]

Wait...I found something.  I didn't write it, but maybe that improves its credibility.  lol

This one is from May 2002 and says that the SEC has had 15 major infractions in a 12 year period (1990-2002).  Yikes!

http://www.usatoday.com/sports/college/stories/2002-05-24-sec-policing.htm

This one is from November 2006 and details how 8 of the 12 teams have been busted for major violations since 1987, including 2 in the past year!

It seems to me that at any given time, a team in the SEC is either very good, or on probation....hmmm.

sounds like the beginings of research!
