Is it just me or does that still sound like a pretty great option? Sure, Birmingham is a bit far, but it's better than The Bahamas and Vanderbilt is a very recognizable team (even if they're not one of the generally more successful ones).

Not just you.  I think it would be awesome to play an SEC school in a bowl game.

I'm assuming the answer is no, but with us getting on on APR.. is there a way we could still end up at the HOD Bowl game? with another C-USA school filling this slot? I"m assuming they fill all the bowls possible then whatever is left is what you get assigned too

I do like that option, its not a great location in terms of helping us recruit or bringing in fans, but maybe UAB fans come out to cheer on a fellow C-USA school...

i don't know people, they have beat our two best teams in our conference.

I think it could be nice to play them, also this may sound bad but not a terrible thing for us... an extra month of practicing, and we saw what Ek and Reff could do with 2 weeks at Army... Not to say Vandy is Army, but they can think of something and I think Ek kind of knows what to expect after coaching vs them last year and years before that as well.. But if we did get an L, could say hey its an SEC school...

i can understand the bowl excitement and the extra practice time.  I am not sure getting our asses kicked in bowl game is a good idea.  I just don't think we are there yet. Before i get jumped on, i have not missed a game and have not left early from a game and I will be cheering at the last game for the Mean Green.

It's a nice hope but there's still the rest of the season to play. On bowls, I'll prefer the HOD any day of the week, especially since odds of a win are a little better. Going against an SEC team, even a middling one, seems tough right now.

If the conference did not have enough six win teams, and none of the six win teams wanted to go to the HOD bowl.  Little to no chance of that happening.

      Where are they now?

      Sincere question…Does anyone think Chandler Rogers is enrolled at CAL for no longer than a year and already qualifies for a degree ? A check, maybe. But I can’t imagine anyone graduating from anywhere, as mobile as he has been in college, in one year.

      Let's not pretend like we don't all know why though, every other board would have banned you by now.

      Mississippi Valley State (12/18/24)

      On the telecast, they made if sound like that was part of his game and not so much his work in the paint. He wasn't terrible, but his footwork was not impressive to me. May be the rust from not being on the floor. The only two players that didn't see the floor were Cotton and Smith. I am assuming Cotton is hurt and Smith just isn't quite ready. It would be nice to see Lorient and Sissoko take him under their wing and help develop him. Regarding this team: Lorient (Jr.): Man, he has exceeded all expectations and just seems to be getting better and better. Hope we can keep him. Massie (Sr.) and Floyd (Sr.): Does either qualify for an extra year or is this it? Jossell (Sr): Love his game. I am assuming he is done after this year since this is his 5th season. Our most confident shooter at this time. Wright (Sr.): Considering this is his 5th year to play, I guess he is a one and done. Very different from what I expected. Pretty shot, but not athletic enough to create his own shot off the dribble. Stays within his abilities and quietly puts up numbers. Mason (Fr.): He needs minutes. This kid could be something really special. Cotton (R-Fr): Really want to see more of his game. Probably currently a level below Mason, but has the ability to be a double figure scorer. Stone (Sr): Happy to see him get the "and one" last night. That play really exemplifies his game. His hustle on the defensive end led to that play. Really wish he could have found his stroke the last few years, because I love his grit. He tries so hard and is Mean Green through and through.
