There’s a very high percentage chance that we go to the New Orleans bowl. Just because there’s a contractual obligation with the Sun Belt doesn’t mean a new contract can’t be forged. It’s all about money and there’s a strong case for both of the Belk bowl and the New Orleans bowl and all involves making more money by sending App to the Belk bowl. Let’s see what happens.
Apparently App has legitimately been considered in Belk Bowl talks.

Re: Apparently App has legitimately been considered in Belk Bowl talks.
The SEC or ACC would have to not have a bowl eligible team for the slot and even then isn't the AAC next in line? I agree with you it would make sense but they will not tear up the contract because I doubt the AAC or SEC would just give up that slot for us.Yosef wrote: ↑Sat Dec 07, 2019 7:32 pmThere’s a very high percentage chance that we go to the New Orleans bowl.

If the NO Bowl is an absolute fact like you keep saying, why keep debating it with everyone?AppStFan1 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 07, 2019 7:34 pmThe SEC or ACC would have to not have a bowl eligible team for the slot and even then isn't the AAC next in line?

Re: Apparently App has legitimately been considered in Belk Bowl talks.
I'm responding because for me to believe that they have changed course I want to hear the facts that show we are going a different route. I could not imagine anyone in the ACC being stoked about playing us. I would think the ACC would want to put a fork in that happening.ah59396 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 07, 2019 8:11 pmIf the NO Bowl is an absolute fact like you keep saying, why keep debating it with everyone?AppStFan1 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 07, 2019 7:34 pmThe SEC or ACC would have to not have a bowl eligible team for the slot and even then isn't the AAC next in line?

Go to the 24/7 site. In the public forum there is a thread for NO Bowl. There you will find the information that you seek.

Re: Apparently App has legitimately been considered in Belk Bowl talks.
Oh I just love giving folks a hard time who are just spreading a rumor written without hard facts. LOL. Seriously though, don't you think if someone is going to post something that contradicts everything that is written in stone that we need to be given evidence and not rumor of it? This is one time I will be glad to be wrong and they have something in the works. The Belk Bowl would be a much better situation for us.yosef69 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 07, 2019 8:18 pmBecause hes insufferable. #BeatETSUah59396 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 07, 2019 8:11 pmIf the NO Bowl is an absolute fact like you keep saying, why keep debating it with everyone?AppStFan1 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 07, 2019 7:34 pmThe SEC or ACC would have to not have a bowl eligible team for the slot and even then isn't the AAC next in line?

I have not seen evidence that the Belk Bowl thing is real other than a few tweets of folks saying it is possible. They could be saying it because the idea was brought up behind the scenes but that does not guarantee that it is true.
And that BeatETSU thing is old. We need to respect ALL opponents every week. Anything can happen on any given Saturday. If anyone here does not know that then they must not have seen this great game in 2007 when we played Michigan. Watch it and learn that you must respect all opponents. We should expect to beat certain teams by a large margin but that does not mean it is a guarantee. That is why you play the game.

Re: Apparently App has legitimately been considered in Belk Bowl talks.
Until announcements, it's all speculation. The conditions of App being invited to the Belk Bowl were laid out. I'm not sure if they were speculation or concrete fact.
Still fun to talk about, I suppose. This as opposed to conceding App is playing the 4th best team in C-USA in NOLA.

I still think Belk is a possibility. McMurphy was posting projections. Where is appstatealum when you need him?
