Coin flip game.

This bowl is a good time. Even in winter there is much to do in MB. Enjoy!
When we played Tuksa, lots had tons of room. Had my two sons with me. Fried bacon, then fried crabcakes in the bacon grease, and served on hot bojangles biscuits. Damned good, and walked ibto the game just as ODU rerurned the opening kickoff for a score.

ESPN has us -3.5 which proves they are just making this stuff up...

If I'm going to MB, I'd stay at the Surfside resort on Surfside beach. Visit Wicked Tuna, Riverside Bistro, and Pirate's Voyage for the food. Maybe Margaritaville if that's your thing. Then walk off your calories on Conway Riverwalk. The touristy stuff in MB is just meh but there's some great hidden gems there.

Or maybe they are not miserable fanatics and see things objectively.

More likely it's due to the fact their QB, RB, and 2 of their top 3 WRs hit the portal.

Surprising that the guy that's all "players are more important than coaching" wasn't on top of that.

Bumping for tomorrow morning 11am sharp

I'm glad our Myrtle Beach bowl wasn't this early. Was surprised when I saw 11am.

11 am is early but beats 2pm on a Monday.

Show them what the Sun Belt is made of!

Think he got that pick. Hope I'm wrong.

Looked to me it bounced off the turf.

^ I saw it bounce as well.

Come on Eagles. Play defense. Good luck!!

That's how you play SBC DEFENSE! Get After Their A$$!
