Conference race

Roscoeowl,

I agree with the jinx thing.  We have one of our major games at the end of the season, so while I am positive, and would love to have us go to a bowl, I don't think we will know if we got a bowl shot or not till after the troy game.  Now hypothetically, if we did end up in a bowl, I will hypothetically definetly be there.  Go Owls!

FAU - We got Bowls!

Re: Conference race

i agree we need to stop anointing ourselves Belt champions, with ULM/ASU/FIU/Troy still on the schedule… but i think its fair to discuss anticipated travel numbers for a "would-be" bowl (if we happen to go bowling this season)

and i think we'd pound WAY more than 3-5,000… i think the 10-12,000 crowd is a very fair estimate… when students hear "bowl game", they will flock to tickets… i really believe that

Re: Conference race

We can't get 12K in Lockhart.  No way we get that many to New Orleans, or where ever else another Bowl game would be.

That would mean that every person that goes to Lockhart would go to the Bowl game.  Nice thought.  :)

Re: Conference race

wow, i really hate to say it…but 3k would be a stretch IMO…

in all honesty, believe the attendance thing would absolutely kill us in an at large capacity…you have to keep in mind the length of travel…its not to Orlando…or even Jacksonville…

its possibly a place like Michigan?!

Thats a BIG push…….

Re: Conference race

The number would be reflected in the location of the Bowl game - 3-5K would be nice, not great but for our current fan base that would be a big number.

That would depend on how many at-large bids there are available and how many other teams there are out there without a bowl bid that have won at least 7 games.
