I can see EMU vs Row the Boat in Detroit.
Row the boat has 5 wins.

They qualified because the NCAA didnāt have 82 eligible teams. JMU, Jak State and Minnesota take the bowl slots. Hawaii bought them a slot by beating Colorado State at the gun last night in Honolulu.

If you were forced to guess, where do you think Redhawks end up?
P.S. just saw the two ESPN prognosticators updated predictions: one has us vs. Jacksonville State in Toastery Bowl in Charlotte and the other in Arizona vs. Boise State.
I donāt know how it could happen, but Iād like to play Marshall. These are exhibitions and we might as well feel some good, old hate.

Just think, could beat UC, OU, and Marshall all in one year if we did play them. Thatās a super rare triple!

Basic trophy truth: you donāt want/need a trophy in your facility that says āThe Toastery Bowlā on it. All of us know this intuitively but some of us forget this come announcement reality. In 25 years from now, winning The Arizona Bowlā will look much better.
Toasteryā¦what the wha?

I donāt give a rats ass what they call the bowls these days. Iām just glad there are 41 of turn so that 10-2,MAC teams arenāt snubbed like we were in 1998.

Yeah 1998 was a kick in the gutā¦in those days as you will recall we all read USA Today and maybe Sporting News to track our college sportsā¦almost all prognosticators had us penciled into the Vegas Bowl and then UNC eked out a season ending win against NC State to finish 6-5, and I felt a feeling of dread.
Unfortunately I was right as they picked UNC over our 10-1 squadā¦ unsurprising, UNC took only about 500 fans to the game. What a bummer as we had such a good team that yearā¦and what about our 95 squad which went 8-2-1 and beat the frigging Big Ten champion. Our newbies on the board oughtta consider that when we āoldstersā complain we should more effectively compete against OOC opponents.

Giving ass to rats aside, you donāt fool me. You care! Oh you care.
The Bowl name matters like any brand name does. Would you eat lunch at Ronald McDumpholeās?
Heck no!
Letās not settle for another Beef-o-Bunghole bowl when we can have something grander.
I hope Iām not alone here.

I know your post wasnāt directed at me, Yellow, but I have to admit that the lack of exposure going to the Arizona Bowl still does bother me, but given the realities of alternatives (Detroit, Boise, Montgomery, etc.), itās starting to look a little more palatable if we can get a good MWC opponent there. Also, a warm
and fun place for the players, coaches , and parents to goā¦

Remember, I get paid 4 dollars a year to write jokes here to make all ye who love our wretched sports laugh. Given that football is good again, itās free money. Anyhow, Iād love to get to Arizona if we make it there. Iām still holding out hope for a bigger bowl because I think we might actually beat Toledo.

Let me stop you right there! I am proud of our Salad Bowl trophy, our GoDaddy.com Bowl, our GMAC Bowl trophy, and our one time only Frisco Football Classic trophy as I am of our Sun Bowl trophy and our three Tangerine Bowl trophies.
Iād take a Tostitos Bowl, Cheezit Bowl, Pop Tarts Bowl or Gasparilla Bowl trophy any day!
There was something quaint about how back in the day, large, somewhat faceless concerns used to sponsor the bowls. The salad growers guild. The International citrus and sugar conglomerates. I have no issue with that. In fact, Iād love to see that be the standard. My issue (āmineā mind you) is when any company under the sun can put their name on the bowl. To me, it starts to feel very cheap. Granted, nothing will stop this from happening but having a trophy with a Beef-o-Brady logo on it in a glass case is just as silly as having one with a Fleet Enema logo on it. I donāt really think thereās a debate here. Itās kind of an easy lay up for stupidity. There was a great article about this floating around yesterday. Iāll see if I canāt find it.
Edit: serious question: where are all the big name logos on these bowls. Apple. Visa. Nike. Etc. Why are most of them sponsored by brands no one really cares about. Itās baffling.
