Then a 6-6 Louisana team gets to play Houston and a coastal fresh off 2 slaughters and an early season loss to Old Dominion gets ECU.
What is happening?

And Troy gets to play another conference champion which I would have loved during App's 2019 season.appgrad95&97 wrote: ↑Sun Dec 04, 2022 9:40 pmWe picked a bad year to be bad.AppSt12 wrote: ↑Sun Dec 04, 2022 8:33 pmWhy is that during the last 7 years when we went 11-3, 10-3, 9-4, 11-2, 13-1, 9-3 and 10-4....we got stuck playing MAC and CUSA teams...and we were told nothing could be done because of sun belt bowl agreements.

I like to think App's past success has helped the conference get to the level where bowl match-ups are a little better. Hopefully we will get to share in that next year and beyond.

Re: ESPN Gameday Was Right
The fact seven SBC teams qualified explains games against teams outside of the MAC and CUSA.

Most NC State fans are happy he's gone. And he's been fired as OC at every stop. Not sure it's a great hire. Guess we'll see.

Re: ESPN Gameday Was Right
We laid the groundwork for some of these matchups. We put the Belt on our back for a few seasons (and LaLa did as well) and now the Belt is getting better bowl arrangements. ECU hasn't been to a bowl in 7 years and has a 7-5,4-4 record. There Simple Rating System rating is 3.41 (57th nationally). Western Kentucky in 2021 (8-5, 7-1) had an SRS at season's end of 8.39 (30th nationally). So, as conference runner-ups you could really say that we drew a better team than Coastal did.AppSt12 wrote: ↑Sun Dec 04, 2022 8:33 pmWhy is that during the last 7 years when we went 11-3, 10-3, 9-4, 11-2, 13-1, 9-3 and 10-4....we got stuck playing MAC and CUSA teams...and we were told nothing could be done because of sun belt bowl agreements.

Re: ESPN Gameday Was Right
A poor season by APPs standards and not bowling this seaon is a big shot fired across our bow, our program's greatness wasn't built on .500 seasons over the last 40 years, but built on the 9 to 12 win seasons that have included the succesfull playoffs and winning bowls.

Re: ESPN Gameday Was Right
A note to cheer folks up.
What if I told you greatness was built on .500 seasons!
Following a down year or two have led to periods of great success:
1993 - 4-7, 19-3 the next two years in regular season (86%)
1997 - 7-4, 34-10 the next four years in regular season (77%)
2004 - 6-5, 71-13 next six years (85%)
2013 - 4-8 then 7-5 in 2014, 73-17 next seven years (81%)
Last 30 years:
2 losing seasons
14 TEN win seasons
3 NC
6-1 in Bowls
15 Playoff appearances
13 Conference titles
Doubled average attendance and 8x annual Yosef Club donations since 2004.
TIGMA should ring true this offseason.

This is the same reason that most programs are closer to the bottom than the top.
What will be telling is where Coastal is next season. I believe Coastal's team was all used up by the end of the season. It will be telling to see where they are next season and if they have to vacate any wins.

Is this something you have reliable sources on or are you just throwing shade due to Chad's past?AppWyo wrote: ↑Thu Dec 08, 2022 5:51 pmCoaching consistency is the reason.Saint3333 wrote: ↑Thu Dec 08, 2022 4:34 pmA note to cheer folks up.
