Winner probably goes bowling, while loser stays home.
We ARE undefeated in Oyster Bowls!
Who said we werenât making a bowl this season! Anyone going to the game?

Bowl eligible: UTSA, UAB, UTEP, WKU, Marshall
Games with bowl implications:
Charlotte at ODU - Winner is bowl eligible
MTSU at FAU - Winner is bowl eligible

I am really surprised to see FAU struggling to be bowl eligible. I think any of you who have seen them know what I mean. They have too many big athletes to be that bad.

I thought FAU was the best team we played. We were overmatched from the first snap and I thought they would be WKU.

We donât have to âshock the worldâ to beat ODU. They are in the same boat as us. Lose and go home. âHotâ can also mean âdue to lose.ââ If we show up like it matters and play a little darn defense, there is no reason we canât win this one and go bowling. Who knows, we might even catch a lackadaisical uninspired team and pick up our first bowl win. It ainât over.

I agree, I think the FAU game was the only where to my eye there was a noticeable talent gap. Them and maybe Illinois.
Worse CUSA collapse? Us or FAU?
clt asks where did they find that helmet?
You could say weâve collapsed but I donât think weâve played great all season. Duke was probably our best performance overall.
One guy had us with 1 win this year, so I guess (according to him) weâre 5x better than weâre supposed to be.
I vote FAU over us. They are more talented and better coached.
FAU has more talent, they were in the three picked to battle for east. Theyâre a bigger disappointment but that doesnât make me feel any better.
Even if we win this game, and I donât think we will, weâll only be âeligible â for a bowl. Not sure I really want to see this team get embarrassed in a lowest echelon bowl. If the team wants to go bowling then ok do it and weâll all live with whatever happens.
AgreedâŚI look at losing at ODU a win. One less national TV embarrassment for us is a net win. AndâŚthey war they have played down the stretch (as opposed to us), they are certainly more deserving and would represent better in a bowl game than we would.
Not only that, but I really feel if we win Saturday and become âbowl eligibleâ Healy wonât make any changes on his coaching staff, and we will have the worst defense in CUSA again next year. I never want the niners to lose, but I donât see what winning Saturday really getâs us, this team has so many problems.
Extra practices are huge, you want a bowl just for those. Also could impact recruiting, bigger difference between 5-7 and 6-6 than 4-8 and 5-7.
