Just a quick note about how tonight’s Rutgets-Louisville game affects what bowl game we end up going to. If Rutgers beats Louisville tonight, they will be 7-5 and will knock us out of the Sun Bowl which would have meant another bowl game against Oregon State. If Rutgers is 7-5 though, the Sun Bowl can’t select the 6-6 Irish over the Scarlett Knights. A win by Rutgers also prevents Louisville from becoming bowl eligible thus keeping a Big East Bowl spot open.
If Louisville ends up beating Rutgers tonight though, then the Sun Bowl remains a possibility and since it has the highest payout of any of the bowls Notre Dame could attend, its unlikely the Irish would turn them down.
I don’t know about you guys, but the thought of third bowl game against Oregon State since 2000 doesn’t excite me for a number of reasons – the biggest being that the Beavers ran all over USC and we just failed to gain 100 total yards on the Trojans.
Amen, NorCal_Irish, its gets worse, they are all whinning to play Rice-A-Roni for a perceived save finish.
I wonder if they realize Rice is more than likely better than Syracuse?
Well there’s always dodge ball and green jerseys.
Charlie’s forth year and we are shuttering at the prospect of playing Oregon State in a bowl game. God help us.
