Posted: Mon Jan 04, 2010 10:59 amThe conference had a poor showing at best. ECU should have won. The other three loses were embarassing. The conference appeared weak this year. Hopefully that will change next year.

Posted: Mon Jan 04, 2010 11:11 amHow much longer can CUSA look this poor in bowl games before some of the bowl tie-ins move elsewhere (like Mtn West)? I realize that they have contracts for the next couple years, but it makes you wonder.

Posted: Mon Jan 04, 2010 12:17 pmBe careful not to place too much importance on just one year. Let's compare the conference bowl records from the last two seasons:
2008-09:
PAC 10 5-0
SEC 6-2
Big East 4-2
C-USA 4-2
Big 12 4-3
MWC 3-2
Sun Belt 1-1
Indy 1-1
ACC 4-6
WAC 1-4
Big Ten 1-6
MAC 0-5
2009-10:
MWC 4-0
Indy 1-0
Sun Belt 1-0
Big East 4-2
Big 12 4-3
SEC 5-4
ACC 3-3
Big Ten 3-3
C-USA 2-4
WAC 1-2
Pac-10 2-5
MAC 0-4
After TCU destroys Boise tonight, the WAC will be 1-3, giving that conference only 2 bowl victories in as many years. I'm not sure that CUSA isn't starting to look like a better conference than the WAC at this point, and based on the last two years, CUSA is definitely performing better than the MAC, who are 0-9 in that stretch. Regardless, 2008-09 was a much better showing for the conference.

He can correct me but I would think that is the late Ponylb, father of Ponyte.
