Congrats. Best thing that could of happened for your program.

We beat SDSU heads up. SDSU beat USD.

NDSU had the better resume.

Pretty good as well. I like Frisco.

For a bowl game pretty good. If its a tues maction game pretty good to start. Then it would drop off.

They used to. Now its negotiated. Thats a double edge sword also as these bowls are going to look for teams who fans travel well.

Another thought about the rivalry. I dont think butts in the seats is a good indicator. To me it has to do with ATTITUDE and the HYPE. Back in the early 70s the week of THE GAME thats all you heard about. You could feel it in the air and it would take a national disaster to stop anyone from attending. Now that attitude has changed. WE lost what 10 years of fans-students who werent exposed to it. Plus our limp dick AD has not helped it one bit. As a former player I wish the players and the current fans felt the way I do. It makes me sad to think about it.

Did it seem that Bubba gave up in the second half????

The state of the rivalry is very generational right now as there was a block of years where we didnt play. So what did our useless AD have to say?

First time in how many years????? And did you really think this was going to be a regular thing?

Interesting as Ive never herd that. Oh wait.....that was hyperbole? Right?

A better opportunity came along. Nice try.

Yep. A great opporunity. Wish him the best.

It made him more marketable. Assist head coach means more money also. It was a great set up IMO.

Reality hit. He needs more experience else where for a Head coach resume. Im sure that was a discussion that was had between Polacek and Roehl.
