Bowl projections!

[VandalBasher]

Considering the Famous Potato Bowl is our Super Bowl, I would request a trade down.

LV bowl with a match against a 3rd PAC team for the season. I'll take it.

I predict SUDS will win the MWC championship and get the best bowl bid. The Las Vegas bowl is the best of the MWC affiliated bowl games, right?

Not to worry. Knowing Craig Thompson, he'll figure out a way to get Wyoming matched up with another MWC team in the Arizona Bowl.

You're giving Thompson quite a bit of credit aren't you? ;-)

I'm rooting for that Idaho vs BSU Potato Bowl.  I might even fly out for that one.  Oh my god the thought of all the potato tears if Idaho could knock them off in their farewell FBS game...glorious.

UNM can't play in the NM Bowl 3 straight years.

And he'll figure out a way to give our slot in the Las Vegas bowl to BYU as well!

Sure you can.  Didn't they invent that bowl so you would never be homeless during the bowl season?

I think the Vegas Bowl makes the decisions regarding that type of stuff, but it's typical of that little wuss Craig Thompson to do nothing.

That's the thing... if the MWC says that the LV Bowl is for our Champion/designate, then we should put everything into it to make it attractive to the highest rated P5 team from what ever P5 conference possible... !

I may be wrong but there is language stating that a team may not go to the NM Bowl 3 years in a row.

I've always hoped this league could get a better game than the LV Bowl, or increase the LV Bowl payout to a more appropriate amount for the champion here.

You could certainly be right.  I don't know about any rules about that.

Brilliant! Potato tears!

[wolfpack1]

I think the actual language of the bowls is Las Vegas Bowl gets the first pick, Potato Bowl gets second pick and then on and such. I don't think they have a guarantee in there that the MWC Championship Game winner gets the Las Vegas Bowl however it usually works that way. However could be wrong about that language.

Also I think they will make a deal with Boise going to an outside bowl if they don't get the Las Vegas Bowl bid

if colorado st. plays in the hawaii bowl,they will join the 2007 boise team as the only visiting teams to lose twice in aloha stadium in the same year.

I rarely agree with you, but that would be something to see. And this is a Vandal team that could do it. I'm sure they would be something like 7 points dogs to Boise, but that's nothing. If they did beat Boise @ Boise, that would be most epic case of Vandalism ever perpetrated against the Donks.

[bigd]

Wow our bowl tie ins are truly awful. Even in the old WAC we had more games against P5 teams.

Idaho would have no shot beating bsu. Line would be closer to 21.

I've always liked Wyoming and wouldn't mind playing them in a bowl.  I'd rather play BSU for obvious reasons or maybe SDSU for shit-talking reasons, but honestly, I'll be happy with any bowl.  Some people like to diss the "lesser" bowls, but it's stupid - everyone likes watching their team play in the post-season.

You're right.  We had no shot against CSU either. 

You're not the biggest kid in the school yard anymore.  Get over it.
