About this time (10:30am) we were closing in on the Houston city limits. I had been so fired up about the game all week, I could hardly sleep the last few day's. With Rice starting their backup qb,(an option qb) I felt pretty good about our chances. During the week, speculating about which bowl we were going to, and looking at hotels in NO was a blast. We all thought, even if we lose to Rice, we can console ourselves with going to the NO Bowl, and the many benefits it brings to the program. Not to mention, the three weeks of valuable evaluation and practice time our coaches would get with our younger players. BOOM!!!!!! We get a great big bag a nothin'!!!!!! I guess this is the post season no bowl again blues! I
guess mabey it's my age, but since the dp, I can't remember having this much difficulty getting over a game. Man, what a drop kick to the lower region! I like a couple these analogies by previous posters......."i would like to go to a bowl before they drop me off at Sparkman Funeral home!") and ("i feel like the groom, that has ONCE again been tricked into showing up at the altar, only to be stood up again") I have tons of faith in Steve Orsini, but I would love to see my Stangs go bowling before they drop me off at the county morgue! Where's my airplane glue!!!
