Spot50B Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 I don't understand why this game against Army is such a big issue. You finished in 3rd place and have a game against what might be a 9 win team. Winning the conference and having to play a 7-5 Cincinnati team in Hawaii is a much bigger deal than this.

SharkTanked Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 It seems football is just too painful for SDSU. Probably should just throw in the towel. I mean so many outside forces conspire to keep this program down. It is just so daunting. I, for one, am frustrated on your behalf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with Nevada. This is just an excuse; they're not a traveling fan base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like they nearly didn't have a game. You're right, that's not unreasonable at all. Aztec fans, as the 3rd place team, of the available MWC bowls, which one would you choose?

I mean, they lost two home games. They beat Fresno at home and they're in. That's what cost them. They don't feel like they've received the benefit of the doubt when they've won this league. I know the story is old and tired, but as the league champ, they got sent to Hawaii a couple years ago. I don't think that would make anyone's athletic dept or fanbase real happy.

And we all know that the MWC bowl tie-ins blow. So is the author just railing against a stupid bowl system? Just seems like a lot of whining.

I have lived in every corner of this country-No F'ing way am I going to the Nation of Texas to freeze and watch a boring game. Yet to answer your question, we will have about what SJSU gets for their Home games representing in Ft Worthless. To support your team, perhaps?
