Just wanted to start a official bowl game thread. Feel free to talk about any bowl game here.

Duke got off to a hot start, but Cincy has made a comeback

The main MAC board has a lot of threads on bowl games.

You might find some interesting threads there.

Ohio seems to have no trouble with UL Monroe 38-14 going into the 4th

Rutgers fell apart 10-10 right now

I have watched or recorded every Bowl games that involved a MAC team or a team that we are playing in 2013 ie.. Rutgers..

I can say without a doubt that we should beat Rutgers in 2013.. Their QB situation looked pretty bad but their defense is very good.

Am I the only one who is still think we should had been 6-6 (at least) and playing in a bowl game with the talent on this team?

I looked at the MAC team that are bowling and thinking we were in all those games, but somehow we would shoot outselves in the foot, be it the defense or Offense. I am hopeful that English (and the new OC) will turn this around and we will be bowling in 2014-15..

I agree with you.

I think we could have been 6-6 easy this year. But 7-5 would have been safe to get a bowl.

I can say should've could've would've all I want but are results should have been like this.

W Ball State
W Illinois State
L Purdue
Could have beat MSU
L Kent State
W Toledo
W Army
L Bowling Green
L Ohio
W C. Michigan (Don't know how we lost)
W Western Michigan
L N. Illinois

That is 6-6 possibly 7-5 right there.

I just really hope we can make a bowl next year. It's been far to long, and we need one to re-build a fan base, and get a football program that can compete in the MAC.

We played below the talent that had.. We played kids in the wrong positions or didnt play them until late into the season. As I have said before this is coaching and not the kids.

Did you actually watch some of these games or are you just really high right now? I really want to know.

Haha Bob beat me to it. We got blown out in most of our losses. The only close ones were Toledo, CMU, and Michigan State (to a degree). No "shoulda coulda wouldas" for this season. Let's just call it a bad memory.

sorry say it is going to be much like this years. I've seen nothing that I would call improvement.

I watched the games and still think the guys played good for a while.. I think we will be better next year because we already have the talent and will be a year older..

Also, NO, I haven't been drinking..

How did we not beat MSU........................

They look awful in there bowl

Can't get much worse then 2-10. But we should be alright next year.

South Carolina 21 Michigan 13. At half.

Methinks the SEC isn't as great as everyone says, nor is the B1G all that bad...

Big Ten has played better then I expected.

Michigan lost to South Carolina.

Who's everyone rooting for here? NIU or FSU?

That is easy. Definitely Northern Illinois!
