Time to put that final nail in the coffin of listing a bowl berth as any kind of accomplishment.

Still beats not being in a bowl.

With as many bowls as there are, you better be in one. I still enjoy going to the games whenever we qualify.

Mark Schlabach has us:
Heart of Dallas
UTSA vs. SMU
I guess he hasn't seen our schedule.

What about four out of five years after being the suckiest program in America? That count for anything?
Have even the tiniest bit of memory, people. Wow

This might actually be a cool game. Here in Dallas, and we have a chance to dominate UTSA and show that we still care about football.
Look at the positive.

It doesn't count for anything unless you have meager aspirations for this program.

Oh for the love of....it's not slamming what Coach X did, or didn't do at this school for a period of time. Nor is it "forgetting" or "remembering" what Institution X did or didn't do for a given period of time.
It's called recognizing there are 38 f*cking bowl games, more than 60% of the f*cking FBS plays in one, and it's garbage to try and call it an accomplishment not being one of the crappiest 38% of teams in the entire country.

I want a P5 invite and a national championship. What does that have to do with appreciating the climb out of the hellhole thus far?

Quit making sense, ponyboy.
I want to beat Bama and Michigan and Oklahoma, too, but until that happens, I'd rather go to a bowl than not go to a bowl. Makes the holiday better.

Because climbing to mediocrity only to slip back down into the hellhole was never supposed to be the goal so why appreciate it? We're moving further and further away from the P5 invite and national championship you want.

We up our competition by joining a better conference and come within one, ONE missed tackle of making a bowl and its all gloom and doom! We play the last game of the season with our 4th string walk-on QB and no listed RB and we're PO'ed we didn't beat UCF?
We have a team with a couple of kids drafted and all of a sudden we are back in the Gregg, Rossley, Caven Bennett era?
Are we a top 25 team...no.
Are we the post DP generation of perpetual losing? Not no but Hades No.
A little pre season positive attention is a good thing, not another reason to start whining.
