Will Eagles land a bowl game?

[EasyEagle]

CUSA has 6 bowl ties and 7 eligible teams. USM has the least wins, so I'm not feeling good about our chances. However, looking around the net, I see these projections:

Sports Illustrated says Bahama Bowl

Athlon and The Orlando Sentinel say New Mexico Bowl

College Football News says Hawaii Bowl

I think we do because our school travels well and will buy tickets compared to other schools.

 

[norfolkeagle]

We have 7 bowl tie-ins. https://collegefootballnews.com/201...college-football-playoff-conference-2018-2019

with 7 eligible teams

 

[CoastGuardEagle]

The Nashville newspaper forecast the SEC to have 2 fewer teams eligible than bowl tie-ins. One of the bowl forecast to be open is the Independence Bowl. The conditional bowl tie-in that CUSA made with the Independence Bowl should pay off for some CUSA team.

I like this forecast.

12th game vs VT after all.

I think we get left out this year. I don't see us in ESPN projections, and they call the shots. Also, Yahoo sports predicts we get left out. Hope thier wrong!

 

[PolymerEagle97]

UCF wins, we are in. If they lose I think we get left out. ESPN has all the power and they project we don’t bowl. That isn’t a good indication.

 

[CoastGuardEagle]

UCF won.

Miami of FL? I would take it in a heartbeat. I just hope the weather is better and the team actually shows up this year. FSU ran roughshod and our offense did NOTHING.

 

[CoastGuardEagle]

Here are 4 more from after the final games ended yesterday. I like the first one the best.

Can I assume that the best news is that our pathetic excuse for an AD is leaving?

 

[Mao Tse-gore]

"maybe one day UNICEF will get into the bowl business..."

Yes. And now we have 4 consecutive winning seasons, instead of losing a Bowl game.

Who knows, we may have had some bowl consideration, but he prob didn't answer / return a call unless it had a Greenville, NC area code.

 

[PolymerEagle97]

Pathetic our AD was busy courting his new gig instead of doing his dang job. Good riddance.......get him out of here!

We didn't deserve a bowl. Lost to ul Monroe and Charlotte is a joke!

 

[Houston Eagle]

The next AD will be a complete failure if Reed Green Coliseum is not totally and completely redone. Can't means won't. There is absolutely no excuse for not addressing this issue. It was in terrible shape 20 years ago.

And RG screwed up with endzone. Wasn't necessary. Reed Green is top priority...end of story

 

[PolymerEagle97]

I agree Larry......can’t lose to ULM and expect to go bowling. Should have had 8-9 wins minimum this season.

No doubt. Started season with wrong backfield. Cost us!

 

[Larryseagle]

Next year we only have 5 home games. Four conference and alcorn. Play at Troy, bama and mistake

 

[norfolkeagle]

Nothing surprises me anymore with the decision making at that school.

 

[Houston Eagle]

I just hope the problem that left isn't replaced with another problem.

I have very little faith that the problem will be fixed

 

[Eagle N Pearl]

Coaching Staff changes are needed most of all

 

[Eagle228]

Don’t hold your breath!

All I want for Christmas is an offense that can score
