One of the players is in my class, and he hasn't been on the traveling squad all year. He is going to the bowl game. The entire team is going from what I understand.MarkL wrote:Worth thinking about .... Gregg Brandon brought the entire 2007 team to the GMAC Bowl, sans suspended players. He believed every single player deserved to experience a bowl game because all the players led to the accomplishment. Different coach but same AD, and DC is a pretty similar distance from BG as Mobile. I could see Clawson asking GC to send the entire team and him doing it. It's not like heading out to Boise.zete wrote:I have thought about this situation, even lived it once. There are players that will practice and attend meetings leading up to the bowl game and then not make the trip. Call it what ever you want, I simply stated I feel for those individuals - the unheralded guys.
And yes, the extra time is invaluable from the coaching stand point. We should be a good team next year. BG has gotten better as the season moved on, but will face a tough task in DC. Just not overly excited about this BG team. I mean come on bowl eligible for beating the likes of: Mass. EMU Miami a beat up OU team Idaho Akron Buffalo. I'm not impressed; and not alone here.
Look, I'm not trying to get down in the mud and argue the pros and cons of beating the above teams to become a participant in the Military Bowl. It is an accomplishment. I am hoping the MAC goes 7-0 during bowl season. I guess I have somewhat of a transparent view of the whole thing.
