So each of these would probably have us losing at least 3 games,... right??

 

[FDNYIrish1]

Please not Oregon State.

 

[NDPhilly]

Almost rather stay home then accept an invite to the Pop Tarts Bowl. Will be memed into oblivion.

I think that's gotta be right. If we only lose 2 we will be in the upper crust and one loss should = playoffs?!?!? Playoffs?!?!?!

 

[FWIrish4]

Please not Oregon State.

Imagine a full month of our beaver friend in lead up to the game. Would be entertaining as hell

The Pac 2 ( soon to be) will be a gauntlet. He will be cheering for a MWC team, his ego maybe checked.

I'm beginning to hate bowl sponsorships more than I ever thought possible.

I guarantee the coach of the winning team in the Pop Tart Bowl will have a cooler dumped on him bUt It'lL bE fUlL oF pOpTaRtS! LUL! So funny!

We used to be a proper country.

 

[dankgesang]

Hoping if we can't make an NY6 we end up in the Visine Dilbert Dogshit Bowl

And rightfully so.

January or nothing.

Wasn’t it Capital One that started this shit, when they completely took over the Citrus Bowl name? There were a few like Blockbuster, etc. in the 90’s but then it went back to normal names.

Feel like before that, it was just a tag along (I.E Nokia Sugar Bowl, not just Nokia Bowl)

We aren’t that far removed from playing in a bowl that was sponsored by Battle Toads.

Who wouldn’t want to watch Angeli make his first start and throw his third pass of the season in the Pop Tart Bowl?

 

[Old Man Mike]

how about assistant coach of the year predictions , or most players portalling to one team, or biggest pre-game dump by dlineman in SEC, or ... or .... wow there's a LOT of great stuff to talk about

I don't know why coaches would put up with the Dukes Mayo Bowl.

What kind of a man would allow themselves to be absolutely DENIGRATED like that on national TV.

I understand accepting the bowl berth because it could be huge for your team. I even understand agreeing to the consequences. But I would have my fingers Firmly crossed behind my back.

The first coach to tell them to GTFO out with that mess after the game would be a hero. There would be absolutely zero pushback.

Yeah but this topic is better because we know bowls are real so catch the fever!

 

[ACamp1900]

Gotta love Boog trying to pretend he doesn’t bath in mayo daily

 

[Armyirish47]

For those first two we’d still have to lose 3-4 games I’d think

 

[T-Boone]

ND v Bama in the one we usually play LSU in

The Palm projection is hilarious. Has NCSU in a NY6

 

[DillonHall]

He has UNC (as ACC champ), not NC State. Can't make a strong argument for or against that- the ACC is too mediocre

That would make sense, their link just shows NCSU incorrectly: Bowl projections: Texas takes Alabama's place in College Football Playoff after upset in Tuscaloosa

 

[IrishBoognish]

I'd love a universe where ND plays Oregon in a NY6. I'd never live it down if we lost, but I really think ND would curb stomp em. It's really weird how closely both programs track (obviously not with NIL for high school kids) but in a number of other ways, they feel linked.

Defensive coach who's in his first couple years an HC. Big time transfer QB. Their OC got a lot of shit.

Recently lost their HC for and think he's a traitor now.

Huge expectations from their fan base that never pans out.

 

[NDFAN2008]

If we are gonna be in a new years 6 give me LSU or Bama

 

[CoachB]

Give me Michigan

 

[Katzenboyer]

Would love that PSU matchup in Dallas.

 

[IA4irish]

F it. Let’s get to the playoffs

 

[DillonHall]

Yeah forget the NY6. It's playoff or bust this season

 

[Valpodoc85]

Suspect if we're not in the playoffs Hartman sits it out

 

[GrangerIrish24]

Suspect if we're not in the playoffs Hartman sits it out

Depending on the bowel, I doubt he would. He isn't viewed yet as top 2 day pick yet. He is going to need as much exposure as possible. I also dont see him as the type that would sit.
