Bowl Game Rumor

[CousinRicky]

Maybe some of you diehard fans will show up for Wisconsin or FSU.  You'll show us how loyal you are.

It's better if we just accept how helpless we are and that no one is to blame. And smile.

 

No, we should all whine like babies, because that helps every situation.

I was trying to add to the level of sarasm, were you?

Joe is about as credible as the otter that used to pick NFL games on Fox 13.

You should know by now how dull Databull is.

Feel better about yourself?

I remember none of our fans showed up for the St. Pete Bowl just down the road a few years ago because we were playing...Memphis ugh! Get ready for more of that in the future.

Prickly group today.

Joe, I appreciate your insights.

Seems we get after each other the more alarming things appear. Either that or there is some of that Ghostbusters 2 slime on the interwebs.

So here's my question...taking the MAC as an example. Those boys have been playing football for ages. Now, year in and year out - what gets them through the season? It's one thing to know that playing for the NC is a long shot (in a BCS/P5 conference), but quite another to know that the option doesn't exist.

Doesn't look like their football fans need anything to "get them through it". They must just enjoy college football and watching their school/hometown team play ... and they've been doing it for quite a while. The MAC has been in existence for almost 70 years. The youngest football program in the conference, that whippersnapper Ball State, will celebrate 90 years next year. You've got the generational thing there just like you do with the big boys but just on a smaller scale. Harkens back to the day of the University of Tampa. You didn't really go to watch the other team or the huge prize at the end of the season. You went to watch the Spartans play.

 

I really think that taking a step back is more detrimental than to have never had the option to begin with. And you are right about fan exodus. It's gonna be interesting to see what level of 'faithful' we have over the next few years. Just sayin'....

 

The BE experiment was definitely a double edged sword. I think it sped up some badly needed facilities upgrades but it also created, for lack of a better way to put it, a false image in the minds of some of our base.
