The Dollar General Bowl vs Troy    Posted: 9/4/2018 7:48:01 PM  I know it doesn't mean much (anything!) after 1 game, but according to SI.com, we are sitting pretty in the Dollar General Bowl vs. Troy (again!).

The Dollar General Bowl vs Troy    Posted: 9/5/2018 12:30:44 AM  Way too early for this (cripes, we barely beat Howard at home). But, it's not too early to prepare for a scenario that looks familiar to previous years. There's only so many low-tier bowls we can go to. That's why I thought last year turned out to be a great scenario for Ohio in the Bahamas. Not sure it gets better than that bowl-wise* *with the exception of the extremely rare Orange Bowl/Fiesta Bowl appearance by a MAC team Back to Top Pataskala General User Member Since: 7/8/2010 Location: At least six feet away from anybody else Post Count: 9,339 Status: Offline     RE: Ugh!!!! The Dollar General Bowl vs Troy    Posted: 9/5/2018 12:09:58 PM  The only bowl prediction that matters is the one after the MACCG. We will get by. We will get by. We will get by. We will survive.

The Dollar General Bowl vs Troy    Posted: 9/6/2018 10:05:23 AM  My prediction is that we will make a bowl game. My prediction is that many people will be disappointed by it.

The Dollar General Bowl vs Troy    Posted: 9/6/2018 11:10:09 AM  Is that a prediction per se or based on some inside type of info that Boise is looking to have the Cats back?

Not sure it gets better than that bowl-wise* *with the exception of the extremely rare Orange Bowl/Fiesta Bowl appearance by a MAC team I think you're exactly right. Ohio, unless its in the access bowl, will only be going to handful of lower-tiered bowls, bowls it's already been too repeatedly, probably. And the opponents will generally be a Sun Belt or CUSA opponent, again probably a team its already played, like App State, Troy, UAB, Southern Miss, etc. Back to Top L.C.

(assuming we can get to 8 wins) This certainly is plausible, as Ohio hasn't been to the Spud Bowl for awhile. If the Bobcats want to avoid a winter vacation in Idaho, the best answer is for them to win out, and hope for an invitation to a better bowl. “We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.” ― Epictetus Back to Top TWT General User Member Since: 12/20/2004 Location: Alexandria, VA Post Count: 5,104 Status: Offline     RE: Ugh!!!!

These predictions are based on nothing. Not on nothing. There are a finite number of bowls that have MAC ties. Those bowls, and the conference, like to rotate the schools around so that the same school doesn't keep going to the same place. Therefore, the odds of a return to the Bahamas this year are long, and the odds of going a place that Ohio hasn't been in awhile are higher (especially since it seems that the tie-ins this year are CUSA versus AAC). The MAC Bowl tie ins are: 1. Cheribundi Tart Cherry Bowl, aka Boca Raton Bowl - Ohio has not been there 2. Dollar General Bowl - formerly the GMAC bowl, last visit 2016 3. Spud Bowl - last visit 2011 4. Friso Bowl - New Bowl, Ohio has never been to Friso, Texas 5. Raycom Media Camellia Bowl, last visit 2015 My prediction is that Ohio goes to Frisco, Texas, or Boca Raton, since those would be new to Ohio.

This is the first prediction I've seen that is actually based on something. The something here is where the Cats have last played and what bowl opportunities exist. Analysis like this is not being done by the publications.

The Dollar General Bowl vs Troy    Posted: 9/7/2018 9:35:46 AM  When my son played on the eighth-grade football team, they were invited to the mythical "national championship" tournament in North Carolina over Thanksgiving weekend. Big scam run by hotels and restaurants - attracted hundreds of families. These college bowl games have the same feel.

It has to hurt the bowl itself to have repeat teams/matchups. Fans are much less likely to travel to a place they have already been. Andrew Ruck B.B.A. 2003 Back to Top L.C.

Not sure they’d beat the Bahamas Bowl, but other than the Rose Bowl, what would? ;) Back to Top Showing Replies:   1 - 17  of 17 Posts Jump to Page:   1 View Other 'Ohio Football' Topics                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               WHO'S ONLINE There are 267 Active Visitors on BobcatAttack.com 267 Guests 0 Registered Users There are no other users looking at this page.
