Not to get too ahead of ourselves 😀 as we do have to beat Akron, but Auburn is 9 1/2 point favorite over UCF. If we win and UCF loses we have the longest win streak in the country. If we get the win it'll be so fun watching the New Years bowl games. Let's throw a Miami loss and were barely behind those teams in the rankings.Posted On: Dec 4th 2017, 4:07 PM #374922
I'm hoping that all other Florida schools lose. I want to be the only program in the state that wins it's bowl this year.Posted On: Dec 4th 2017, 5:06 PM #374927
didn't that happen once?

Our leaders in conference and school failed this team.
We deserved better than Akron and I am not buying the bulls*** of be happy because we weren't here last year.
You never know how long this will last. We should be Akron by 45 and everyone will be underwhelmed.
Our leaders need to know over over and over again they failed and maybe it wont happen again.Posted On: Dec 4th 2017, 3:24 PM #374918
Ranking 2017-18 college football bowl games by watchability - SBNation.com
They rated us 3.1 out of 5 for watchability. They only rated Independence 1.6 and gasparilla 1.4.
Its not just the people in the stands its also the TV ratings that do make a difference. IfPosted On: Dec 4th 2017, 5:44 PM #374933
Hmmmmm, Gasparilla came in last.

I know we wish we had a better bowl but lets set the standard at this bowl and let everyone know that we are better than this and should be in a better one next year if all goes as planned.

Interesting. There is not another CUSA team game that has a "watchability" rating higher than we do.
