Myrtle Beach Bowl

Coastal Carolina got a butt kicking at their own house…geez 

[Jonnyeagle]

UTSA showing they are for real.

[EAGLE83]

How many Coastal players did not play.

[NM Green]

They said there were like 30 players in the portal. It was a tough watch and San Antonio keeps on rolling. They’ll be tough next year. Glad we get them in Denton.

Including their starting QB for all 12 games who has already committed to Liberty.

Say what you will about Traylor, but that team could have rolled over and died with all the injuries, but they just kept getting stronger as the year went on.  This honestly may have been his best coaching job.

Triangle of toughness!

Hey ,,what’s all this talk about UTSA winning bowl games? Y’all trying to destroy our brand ? (Like Vito). Lol

Hated to root for Santonio but here we are.

Is it really a Bowl game if they can’t even change the 50 yard line logo and end zones?   And that field looked hard as a rock.  I would ask my best players returning to my team to sit out or take limited game snaps.  Tape from this game will bare no difference in appearance than a regular season Coastal Carolina game.  Maybe I tuned in late but the attendance looked like it a friends and family only affair.

What a great year for us…SMU goes to the playoff in their first year as an ACC member, UTSA clobbers Coastal Carolina in a bowl game on their home turf in SC, and we go 6-6 and get to play Texas State in a bowl game, which we will most likely lose.

In two weeks ask any "sports fan" (but non-AAC) if UTSA won a Bowl and who did they play.   I doubt you could find one person that correctly knows the answer.

Same with any bowl we play in…it’s no different

I couldn't tell you what Bowl most of the P2s played in last year either.  Didn't care, still don't.

The whole Bowl era is outdated. 

They should just scrape it and go to a larger playoff of 32 teams. 

[NM Green]

I love bowl week and we finally got a great game in Boise. 

What a fun year for NIU. A win over Notre Dame and double overtime win to end the year. They showed some stones on those 2 drives in overtime. Love their style of play. Wish they were a slightly better fit for the American. They are Midwest hearty at our level. A solid G5. 

I’ve teetered back and forth about our game, swinging from we’ll get blown out with no Morris, to let’s do this. Get this bowl win in January 2025. 

My hope comes from our battle testing. We played some solid teams and played them fair to well. Army was strong when we got them, Tulane was legit until the end, San Antonio got hot when we got them, same with ECU. Memphis was Memphis. We beat the SBC and MWC. I don’t know. The SBC seems a bit shakier in ‘24 and we were grilled all season. We may be just as good as TSU and surprise. 

Viva the American.

Not if we are conference champions or go to a bowl with 3 losses or less.   The qualifications for making a bowl game are a joke.

That’s the point for sure. Winning a spare bowl against another G5 means nothing to anyone beyond the diehards of the winning program.

[NM Green]

True. It doesn’t matter to anyone outside that school. But did you see NIU storm the field to celebrate the 4th down crushing sack of the Fresno quarterback to end the game? Followed by the lifting of the potato mascot into the air? Loved it for those dudes. Hard work paid off with a dramatic win. 

After learning our bowl destination my Dallas SEC diehards said they wanted to go to the game. So we’ll have the pre fun and post fun time on the 3rd. They attended the Boise Bowl and Cal game too. They are college football 🏈 LSU season ticket holder junkies who look forward to a fun day.

I’m in the minority in this thread but I’m glad we play bowl games. I don’t need to see NIU or Fresno again this season but I’m glad it happened. 

Beat Texas State!

EXCEPT if we win. That would be so incredible, unprecedented, and outrageous it should be a national news story for days.

No.  Forgot it was on until it was over.  Which is the whole point of Bowl-glut.  Too many random, meaningless matchups at random times of day over a month.  

I didn't care anything about NIU, and doubt most of the country did either.  Glad they beat ND (to rep the G5's) and came back to win this game as well.  But if I never see one of their games that's ok too.   I'm sure their fans feel the same about us~

I was being sarcastic of course due to other thread . Vito does not hurt our brand .  Coverage is good.

Wait, so are you saying that the bowl games might be for the players to enjoy?
