What, do you think the Vegas Bowl would let the best rated, highest draw team just walk? I know in the past the Vegas bowl was not required to take the conference champ and the conference champ also had more wiggle room. This was changed in 2016 IIRC. Now it is pretty cut and dry. The Vegas bowl absolutely gets first pick. If the Cheeze it bowl is in play, it selects second, after the Vegas Bowl.

ole blu dude Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Of course one of the big advantages for a bowl game is the extra practice time that a school gets, it is almost as much as another spring ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was a joke. No 12-1 team stays home. Talk about punishing your seniors. At the end of the day seniors deserve it. They earned it and hopefully a degree. Glad folks with some common sense run college athletics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimwhit Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 I could not possibly care less which bowl we play in. I want to win the conference championship. That's all I care about. And we have a chance to do just that. As for which bowl...I just don't care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything else is gravy if we beat Hawaii. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hardcore homerism that BC used to have, except 90% of the comments are stupid inside jokes and no one actually talks about football OBNUG before being bought out by SBNation and the split with BroncoNationNews was a pretty solid community with some really great posters. But since then has tried to transform to a media thing with a comment section. In my opinion it is just the writing that has gone downhill and become too cheesy.

utenation Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 2 hours ago, halfmanhalfbronco said: What are you guys hearing about the LA bowl? Anything we (the MWC) may consider positive? The MWC has come through a few times with multiple really good teams at the top. Namely 2014 and last year. Had we run the MWC table and CCG last year we likely are knocking at about 12. The problem is no teams can really churn out top 25 seasons consistently aside from Boise, and Boise just barely so. A lot more quality depth in the middle this year though. 2020 in the new Rams/Chargers stadium against the P12. Not sure what seeding but I would imagine it falls in line with the current Vegas bowl seeding. I don’t think LA in the winter is a bad gig.

Yeah I was never a fan of their joke articles like anagrams and their weird blog bets. They do have recruiting roundup which I haven't seen anywhere else but there's just no decent comment section which brings longevity for any visit to a sports site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BSUFan Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 You all know Boise State hasn't even qualified for the Vegas Bowl and the way the team has been playing this year there is a real chance the won't have to worry about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobbyBoSox Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 So after a full day of work, I come back and this thread has gone into 6 different directions in only 5 pages. This board would make an interesting case study of...something. I remember Broncomare posting before. But I got scared when she asked Mugtang to assault her? IDK I do know this board does not have IanFor2 and Spy arguing all the time. But you do have that one weird Reno fan. Not mug, but the one who will say anything to anybody...Not good. If you really want to improve the board. For God's sake JEFFKILLS, please reduce your picture size!!! Regarding Baby Yoda, my daughter figured it out. He's a Yodashian. Regarding our bowl game, I am not concerned. Every time we have a really good squad that is about to get shafted for a bowl game, we either get a good opponent or somebody else swoops down with an offer we can't refuse. Let's not sweat our back-up bowl plans and just worry about the things we can control: Cincy beating Memphis! Lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
