a Disservice to our sport - let's up the ante - decline the bowl game

Featured Replies

relevant part of the dave wilson espn recap from last night -- sark postgame on the field:

"We went on the road to Ohio State in Week 1 and lost to them in a one-score game. We outgained them by nearly 200 yards, and no one else has been close to a one-score game against them. But I think more importantly, it's the message that what do we want to send to the head coaches and the athletic directors around the country? Do you want us not to schedule Ohio State? Because if we're a 10-2 team right now, this isn't a discussion. We're in the playoff. But we were willing to go up there and play that game."

"It would be a disservice to our sport".

+++

when we are not included because room must be made for acc and g5 traffic cones, we have no one but ourselves to blame because ASSWATER

but we can do an even greater service to our sport

our seniors just walked off the field after defending the dkr (/mack)

they crushed the delusions of the vile vermin infestation that steals our money

at least half of our seniors will go to the combine and take a shot at the league

most of them with that goal will opt out of a game against arizona or washington

so let's do college football a REAL SERVICE

TL/DR:

DECLINE THE FUCKING BOWL GAME

we're one of the few that can get away with it without recriminations and it's high time to kill off this vestige of 20th century

this isn't amateur hour anymore - these student athletes are FISCAL ASSETS and are too valuable to risk in exhibition competition

stir the shitstorm

No you fucking idiot. That's a bitch move. The guys most likely get to go to Orlando and get bowl swag. Young players get a chance to get some playing time if others opt out. I'll be disappointed if we don't get into the playoff but I'm for damn sure watching the bowl game. Sure, there will be opt outs but you get one final chance to see your team play before 9 months of nothing.

By refusing the bowl bid we'd also sacrifice the additional practice sessions allowed under NCAA rules. That would be beyond stupid.

If you want to hold something hostage, use the upcoming OSU and Michigan OOC matchups. Don’t turn down the bowl game.

This is the type of thread I’d expect to see on Texags.

those matchups are worth 5x the bowl game

in the delusion thread (getting in at 9-3) we talk about the committee nuking klan because of kiffin, and it's unfair to the players, too bad so sad

but for our players OH NOOOOO they have to skip a trip to orlando when we have a chance to make history and do something that is REALLY a service to the sport

oh yes - the point about extra practices

IGNORE THE FUCKING RULES - hold the practices anyway - we skipped the spring game - what was the punishment for that? - who was supposed to administer that punishment?

Ducking a bowl game for any reason is straight aggy. 

Didn’t we mock them endlessly for the Covid duck out and when they made sure they never met us in a bowl game?

And we have someone over here saying we should throw a hissy fit and opt out bc we didn’t make the CFP. 

Absolutely not.

Even if we get left out of the playoff, the bowl game is still a chance at a 10-win season and a top 10 final ranking.  Those are streaks to keep going.

It's also a great experience for the guys who have earned it.

This idea is a bucket of dumbassery.

You seem unfamiliar with the OP's work. This is what he constantly does. 

Maybe don't lose to shit ass Florida? That's the nail in the coffin. Not losing to Ohio State.

Bowl games keep people sane when surrounded by family. And helps for those slow holiday work days. Damn right I’m watching some 2pm bowl game on a Tuesday instead of working

Let’s cancel next season too in protest.  In fact, vow to never play another game unless the committee vows to consider SOS as equal weight with record.

this is not about us not making it

it's about using the opportunity of not making it to take a kill shot at the bowls

Cheez-it Citrus Bowl? Isn’t that where the highest non-CFP SEC team goes?
