Some of you put too much into playing a 6-6 P5 school. I believe S. Miss vs Washington was one of the lowest watched CUSA bowl games. I think the AD of a school knows their fans and what's best for their school that most of us. Western does not recruit in Dallas or hardly west of the Mississippi. Western does recruit Fla, hard. Western had 75 fans at the Rice game last year (myself and son 2 of those). Western had well over 600 when you play at FIU or FAU.

Honestly if some of you think people actually care if your team plays a 6-6 P5 team probably 8th or lower in their conference...

you are mistaking. What I see is mostly "water cooler" type of bravo.

Maybe I'm wrong but unless you are playing a UGA or a FSU type P5 in a really down year for them. And lets get that straight it's going to be a really bad year..almost getting a coach fired type of season or something else going on. CUSA is going to get the 6-6 Pitt type school or 6-6 west coast team.

Personally those teams don't move the needle for me.

I guess Georgia State moves the needle for you.
In his mind WKU should be #4 not Bama.

I'M not the one on here beating my chest about Western being better than anyone. Wasn't last year or the year before. At least not in the context of these S. Miss threads. Of course as a team that was very clear who was the best.

Nope that belongs to S. Miss fans. I just point out how wrong you are. Yes I do it in a way that makes me seem like a *******. That's on purpose. But the one thing that never happens in these type of threads....

A S. Miss fan showing me where the data is wrong. Now we get a lot of it's wrong...you know, running off at the mouth. But never anything to back it up.

There's a very good reason for that. Just like the S. Miss fan talking like S. Miss is the only team that takes fans to bowl games. Then points out Western, FAU, Tech and the others play in BOCA because we don't have fans.

Isn't it funny how I post pictures...didn't even need words. They shut up or try to move the needle. Hell even to go as far as saying...Well Western had a large group of fans that live in Fla. So even if that's not correct....

I showed him pictures of Detroit ...Still waiting for that reply.

S. Miss fans love to run the mouth....your team just isn't backing it up

One of the greatest bowls was when the Liberty Bowl was the CUSA Champ vs the MTN West Champ. I wish all conf champs were pitted against each other in bowls. Actually I prefer all conf champs were in a playoff but that will happen when pigs fly.

Sorry, it does. To get bigger bowls, you need fans in the stands regardless of opponent or location. Its why we are all non-contract.

and act like they were the "good" FSU team

Lets be honest here. That's what those of you that get off on the P5 are hoping for. Beating that P5 school while they are rock bottom. Then taking credit for the win many years later when they are top 5 again.

I've seen it on this board time after time


Marshall went on the road and beat #6 Kansas State who went on to win the Big 12 and I believe the Fiesta Bowl that year....but you're right, they wasn't good that year.

Don't worry, every comment this guy makes is about USM. Any thread that gets started he turns into the USM hate thread. Very unstable.

There's no doubt. The Bahamas Bowl is a great destination, but maybe it should be moved into the heart of our eastern division here in the states. The money would have to flow backwards to attract a P5 opponent every year. CUSA would have to increase the payout to about $1 million and put a lot of resources behind the game.

Shying away from these opportunities for reasons like "people won't watch" or "people don't care" is small time. Being a G5 conference, the ONLY way we will ever improve our reputation is to play and BEAT as many P5 teams (regardless of their records) as much as we possibly can. That's how you improve your conference brand and credibility in the football world. You do that enough, then more people take note, tune in, and watch more of our games. Then our teams turn into more attractable bowl opponents and OOC.
That's it.

In the golden years of college football when tradition held sway, The SEC had the Sugar, The Big10 and PAC8 had the Rose. Big8 the Orange and the SWC had the Cotton. Every conference had a bowl game. I even give credit to the SunBelt for striving so hard to develop the New Orleans Bowl but I am afraid that creating or developing a flagship bowl in this era is just not reasonable. Her is a list of reason why.

1. Our programs simply aren't big enough to send a large group of fans to the same bowl game every single year. The Rose bowl is a big deal for Big10 teams because they send 30K fans to it every time regardless of whether they have play in it 5 times in a row. G5 schools just can't sustain that. Fanbases that have been more than twice would certainly fall off by the third time especially if it was a long trip.
2. This Conference is far too spread out to have one singular bowl as the standard bearer. UTEP to the Bahamas? ODU to the New Mexico Bowl?
3. No P5 Conference is going to guarantee a team to be cannon fodder for the best of a conference every year. IF we were to get a P5 to fill the other side it would be like a #9 seed that may or may not show up and be 6-6 or 7-5 at best. Is that what we want for our Champion?
4. If WE contracted with the MAC or Sunbelt would we be restricting our best team to another G5 opponent every single year? Yup
5. The fluidity of our bowl line up right now has given our conference a shot at multiple great match ups. WE put 9 teams in a bowl this year and that is AMAZING!! Having a structured lineup would guarantee mismatches and horrible travel for some teams every year.

A side note: FAU had a great season and their coach was garnering National Attention this season. Even the Bama message board had an entire thread dedicated to the CUSA title game. I find it inconceivable that the folks at CUSA HQ would purposely not want to exploit the "Fighting Kiffins" this season. I believe the choice to stay in Boca rest solely on the shoulders of the FAU staff and Admin and they rolled the dice but came up snake eyes on the opponent.
Absolutely true. The bowls at the G5 level are going to try to take the teams that are within the closest proximity to each bowl. It's about selling tickets in the end, and none of us have large traveling fan bases.

I liked the HOD too. Too bad C-USA doesn't have it anymore. The stupid conference leadership still hasn't publicly addressed how or why we lost it.

Thought it was fairly obvious. ESPN didn’t want us in it, so they told us could trade or lose it when our contract came up for renewal.

That was the Southern Miss vs ULL NO Bowl last year. The USM vs Washington game was lowest attended HOD bowl to date.

Can’t blame us. Was the first time it was the day after Christmas and we still brought over 7,500 fans. Washington brough like 3,000.

That's the worst day imaginable for a bowl game. Maybe not so bad if it's played at night so fans can get there a little easier.

Just pointing out that #6 Kansas St wasnt "rock bottom" when we beat them.

RE: More than ever, this conference needs a flagship bowl
Here's where a certain WKU fan is now reaching:

Quote:Beating that P5 school while they are rock bottom.

You do realize that a P5 school, at their worst... even when they're 'having issues' still has every advantage when they're allowed to CHEAT (Yea, NC I'm still pointing my finger at you)- and get a slap on the wrist, out-recruit, out-spend and gets MORE money from biased-assed networks, than a G5 team at their best (and that includes MAC, MWC, and even the Sun-Belt schools... nope, I'm not including the AAC, because they're on this "G6" ridiculous power trip.)? Why? Because of their "name" or their "conference".

So you know what... if we can beat one of those "big money boys" AT ANY GIVEN TIME.. I don't give a damn if it's a Baylor team at it's worst... an FSU team that's middle of the road. Hell, even a Vanderbilt team that is sliding back on hard times.

You're damn right I'm putting that feather in the cap of _ANY_ C-USA school.. whether it's one that I "love" as a rival, whether it's one that doesn't move my radar, or if it's one where their fans think they're bigger/badder/smarter than the rest of us (right or wrong).

As a fan I enjoyed Western's games vs USF and Memphis more than I would playing a 6-6 Pac 12 team.

We are never completing with the P-5 schools for anything in football. We might like to think we are. But we aren't no matter how much you want to believe that. And especially one from the west coast. Now if it's a state school or a border school it's a little different. But other than it being that....we are not going head to head with them at any other time,.

We are the AAC schools...as much as those schools think we aren't. We are all G5 and to get to the top of the G5 it helps beating those schools you are fighting against. Those 6-6 P-5 teams are being looked down on as bad teams that year. If you beat them...well they are awful. If you lose...you must be awful.

No one is getting anything from that win come the following Sept. You are not getting ranked because you won a bowl game vs a limping P-5 last Dec. Beating them in Sept helps and yes I enjoy playing the P-5 team....

no matter how bad they are you gain from beating them. Even if they end up 3-9. You still gain early on from beating a Ill, or a Vany or any other bottom feeder P-5. You have a chance to build off that win. You get some press off that win. You can point to that win...

DEC....is forgotten by Sept.

As we seen it in the S. Miss Indy bowl thread....

a S. Miss fan pointing to 8 or was it 11 times S. Miss beat FSU. Then telling all of us how great S. Miss is for doing that. What he did not say was...all but 2 of those wins came when FSU was D2 or something like that.

Same with the Bama win....3-9 that year but some fans want to act like they beat the Bama team of today. So that is what some of you look at when playing these teams while they are down. To some of you it's more about....look at me/my team than beating a good football team.

No matter how much you want to think you are....you are not competing with FSU or even Ole Miss or any other P-5. You are competing for that NY6 game and against those schools that are fighting to be there.

It's funny how S. Miss (some) fans go begging on the AAC board...please invite us, we miss you. Like a freaking fan has any control over that. But you really don't want to play them in a bowl game. Makes no sense

I think WKUYG is shooting down other teams P5 wins because his school has a lack thereof.
