And with the conference ties to bowls, we just might get lucky. Or we could have a 7-6 season and really look strong. Plus the kids get one more college game to play in their careers. And it is a nice trip for the kids which may never make it to Hawaii ever.

Lots of pluses to this possibility.


I do not think you can be bowl eligible with a losing record unless you get an NCAA waiver as did NTSU when they won their conference with a losing record overall. Still would be a good trip however.

We should not accept a bowl with a 6-7 record.

go to Hawaii. Let the alum's help pay the cost to fly the team over there. Meanwhile, we hold the Ponyfans.com golf tournament a few days before hand at Turtle Bay. Now we are talking....

You don't even get a bowl invite with a sub .500 record, unless you win your conference
