I would like FSU to decimate Houston so the media doesnt keep pointing to the NIU v FSU game as being a massacre.

RE: New Years Six Bowl Thread
Personally, I could not care less what happens in college football any more this season. I will not watch any of the games because I just don't care. Any interest I had ended on December 23. I'm tired of it. It's all men's and women's basketball for me now. Go Huskies!

Or another good scenario is Houston has a great showing and gets the nod for the B12 with Cinci and the AAC looks to backfill.

Got to root for the G5 in these games. Go Houston.

Keep in mind this is a really really down FSU team this year. A lot of teams would have their way with FSU
At least it would partially save some face for the AAC which otherwise has been an absolutely humiliating bowl season, just awful for the conference.

RE: New Years Six Bowl Thread
According to one of the ESPN commentators at halftime, FSU "just doesn't want to be there". This whole ESPN crew is a bunch of G5 haters, yet year after year the MAC cow-tows to these jerks and signs bad contracts that force us to play weeknight games in the cold.
This game was the only one of the New Years 6 that I was interested in, so after Houston finishes off the mighty Seminoles this afternoon ESPN is being turned off at my house for the rest of the long weekend.

FSU might not be as good as prior years, but they still have plenty of talent on their team. Houston, like the AAC, is good this year. Don't be a turd and try to take away that from them.

Definitely.
FSU is the #9 team in the nation, with only a loss to Clemson and an upset loss on a last-second fluke play at Georgia Tech. To say this is a "really, really down FSU team" is just nonsense.

Houston easily won this game.
It's not a matter of if Houston goes to the Big 12, it's a matter of when.

They might want to because their current conference, is probably going extinct soon.

Gotta be envious of Houston being able to double Herman's salary to $2.8 mil/year and also increase the assistants salary pool.
