ESPN predicts the Armed Forces Bowl will wait on the A/N Game to decide its teams...

That prediction though is counter to the bowl's own website that says tickets will go on sale December 3...

Hell, if we had beaten ULM, Boston College and UMASS we coulda, woulda, shoulda beat all three and have won 8 games instead of 5 we did win and woulda have given Syracuse more of the same if we didn't get so damn cute of changing our offense. Frankly that is the truth. We just did not use our personnel and the talent we had this year to do any better than we did. This is the sad part about this season and it irks me to say the least.
Irks?? That word is a kind one. What I really feel about all this is and using the vernacular---@#$%^&*()_)(*&^%$#@@#$%^%$#@*&^%$#@ AND $%#.

As for that LSU game--- We shoulda got at least three points out of that debacle. :roll:

Pretty sure that's more of a penalty than a reward for Air Force. Alberquerque is not the most desirable travel location.

Brett McMurphy reported last night that Minnesota (5-7) will fill the final slot.

Sources say about a new rule that bowls will not wait on the Army/Navy game. Both teams must be eligible before the game.

However, the NCAA Manual appears to say differently and we did have the 2009 Eaglebank Bowl slot reserved for us until we lost to Navy.

So who knows?
