Impressive ECU win

[cousin oliver]

Got to watch the Pirates win a big one against State who is their big rival.  Nice win for the AAC!

ECU got hard the last half of the season.

I’m glad it worked out for the Pirates. Because that scoop and score was legit. Highway robbery averted. 

They are relentless. In Denton they just kept coming. Good for their fanbase and for the AAC.

We better step up and not embarrass the conference.

Tulane is the only AAC bowl loss thus far. 6-1 with wins over ACC, Big 12, and SEC teams.

It will certainly look better if we win (or more correctly, worse if we lose), but as with everything else the TP is screwing up, the teams playing in the bowls don't have any resemblance to the ones from the season.

So, using bowl success to indicate conference strength isn't as valid as it once was.

In fairness, Colorado made sure their whole team played…and then got steamrolled

It certainly affects things, no doubt about that, but it's the coaches job to get those who are playing to be ready to play. Our conference mates have done a good job of that, let's do the same.

In fairness that was a Big 12 vs Big 12 affair.

I don’t think they were ever that valid except for top 15 teams.  The New Years 6 Bowls were the only bowls that had history you average player at that time relished playing in.  The bowl tie-ins are convoluted now.  It used to be that if you won your conference or got second place you knew what bowl that level of accomplishment would send you.  Now you don’t have a clue.   Look at Army and Navy from our conference.  Army should have gotten a more prestigious bowl and opponent than Navy.  (Remember Bowls were assigned before the Army vs Navy game and Army is our conference champion).
