I'm pondering the sentence "being in the top six in Big East football" ... I know there are eight teams, I'm not sure I can name 'em. And that, in a nutshell, is what's wrong with the NCAA football bowl thing. Guaranteeing "postseason" for an obvious loser program somewhere. Ugh. -- Duquesne Dukes Basketball Forum

In reply to: Rogabee 's message, "Great...I've never heard of BBVA (who are they?!) and maybe they can get a free oil change at the Car Care Bowl! Also, while 6-6 doesn't lock you into a bowl, being in the top 6 in the BE and going 6-6 or better does." on Monday, November 29, 03:53:27pm

"...obvious loser program..." Funny coming from a fan of a basketball program that is the Kmart of the Atlantic 10. (NT) -- pitts, Monday, November 29, 05:17:33pm
- but we dont walk around all summer talking about winning a national title, like MANY MANY pitt fans did. At least we beat a Dayton or Xavier in hoops, who did pitt football beat this year, USF, Rutgers, Lville...wow! They should play in the Pederson Center bowl, thats the only thing worth a piss up there. Oh yeah, come march your hoops team will choke, again.

- Can you read? I was not referring to any particular program; I was saying - which anyone with a high double-digit IQ should understand - that a 6th place team in a bargain basement conference DOES NOT belong in a Bowl Game. Got it? (NT) -- El Duque, Monday, November 29, 08:44:39pm
  - No I do not got it. (NT) -- pitts, Tuesday, November 30, 08:50:40pm

The present bowl system is nothing but an extension of the regular season. A team used to have to be good to go to a bowl. (NT) -- Bilgy, Tuesday, November 30, 10:15:31am
