BULLS Bowling

[USFMikeB]

Exactly Mike, I reserve the right to up my expectations each decade  8-)

I have always loved your enthusiasm, ET.  However, I agree that we are still trending upwards and haven't yet reached our full potential.  Can't wait for next season!

I see us bowling in the next 3 years... beyond that, who knows.

Interesting phrase: 'bowling every year'

Given the plethora of bowls and the fact that all that you

have to do, for the most part, to participate in post season

play is avoid a losing record, yeah...that's a fair assumption

for the next couple of years.

On a related note, how tough of a sell will it be if we're

served a steady diet of Charlotte-n-Birmingham-esque

opportunities? At what point does it become BCS-OR-BUST?

...just tryin' to keep the conversation lively... 8-)

bcs or bust right now in the next three years or we have underachieved. unless we just have rotten luck (injuries ect.)

[fishinBULL]

i agree, BCS or bust for the next 3 years.

If we dont go to BCS or Gator bowl 2 out of of the Nx 3 yrs I would be disappointed.

Let me ask regarding the new BCS Bowl situation, a certain conference winner doesn't automaticly go to a specific bowl, correct ?

We could go Orange or Sugar, etc ... right ?

WVU went Sugar and L'ville is going Orange.

DYK: VaTech has NEVER won back to back bowl games  

[WoolyBully]

...and as of this year, neither have we.  :-*

Some conferences are still contracted to play in specific bowls:

"Unless they qualify to play in the NCG, the champions of selected conferences are contractually committed to host selected games:

 Atlantic Coast Conference-Orange Bowl

 Big Ten Conference-Rose Bowl

 Big 12 Conference-Fiesta Bowl

 Pac-10 Conference-Rose Bowl

Southeastern Conference-Sugar Bowl

If a bowl loses a host team to the NCG, then such bowl shall select a replacement team from among the automatic-qualifying teams and the at-large teams before any other selections are made. "

We could go to the Sugar or Orange as a non-host team.
