In the bowl that would be a Rice destination if only Rice could aspire to be as good as Charlotte, Buffalo leads by 17-0 at the half. The score would be even more lopsided but for the haplessness of Buffalo's offense.

The Bahamas Bowl is a crap bowl.

31-9 Buffalo final.

Ah. Yes. A crap bowl that we would’ve been delighted to accept an invitation from.

And one that I would have been delighted to attend.

For a $225 K payout? Is it worth it. I wouldn’t even accept it. It looked like 5000 people at the game.

Is the Bahamas Bowl in the Bahamas? Do the players get a day or two off to hang out on the beach? Do they get extra practice time?

Yes, yes, and yes? Then it's a Bowl worth going to.

Better than a 0 dollar payout and no bowl game.

SMU showing well again...lol...against a CUSA Bowl opponent. Last year La Tech beat them 51-10 and this year FAU is up 42-14 at the start of the 4th Q.

Go F*U!

FIU having a worse day. Down 13-27 vs Arkansas State in the Camellia Bowl with 5:07 left 3Q.

So far Conf USA is 1-4 in the bowl games. Poor showing by Conf USA.

UVA player on the value of the extra reps preparing for a Bowl - https://www.cbs19news.com/content/sports...11011.html

But 1-0 vs the American.

That’s now 7-1 all time.

Next one up is today with Marshal as 2TD underdogs against Central Florida

It's not looking so good for Marshall and CUSA: Early in the 3rd quarter with USF facing 4th & 7 on about the Marshall 35, the Herd gives up a wide-open dink-and-run TD. 31-7, UCF.

At halftime in the Independence Bowl, La Tech leads Miami 7-0. La Tech's players are much more excited to be there than Miami's, in what is almost a home game for La Tech.

La Tech wins 14-0.

Great win for the conference

Just read in the ESPN article on Miami's OC being fired, that this is the first shutout of a P5 team by a G5 team in a bowl game since the start of the BCS system in 1998.

13 games played and they still didn't figure out who their QB was this year. Miami played three different quarterbacks last night. And Enos had been a QBs coach at Alabama prior to taking over as OC at Miami. He was credited with turning Hurts into a quality passer last year and completely botched the position this year. Absolutely baffling.
