The last two games and finish 8-3 should our bowl consideration improve despite having only played 11 games?

If thats true, looks like Florida and Boca for us?In CUSA, the number of games you win means NOTHING to bowl placement. The league and ESPN put teams where they think they can get the most fans. They have to force teams every year to go to Nassau and Honolulu.

We do better than a couple hundred, unless there is something I'm missing. Hawaii or Bahamas make no since for MU.
I'd love New Orleans this year, been wanting to go visit old neighbors and friends for a long time.
45 minutes for meSupposedly we have to return the insurance dough. So, unless the Hokies are willing to put up some serious $$, doesn’t make sense. I would definitely love to see us play them (2 hour drive)......

It's all about ESPN programming. If people didn't turn on the TV to watch all these useless bowl games, then they would go away as they should.The Bahamas Bowl epitomizes everything wrong with college football. jmo

It used to be a reward to go to a bowl. Now, like the YMCA youth league, it's a participation trophy.

I hate ESPN as much as anybody, but really?
How quickly we forget.
1997. We were 9-2. And a loss to Toledump equaled a 9-3 Thundering Herd with no bowl.
1998. we were 10-1. And a loss to Toledump. See above.
1999. We were 11-0. And losing 23-0 in the 3rd quarter. And under the system of that day, an 11-1 Thundering Herd would have stayed home.
2001. Only the expansion of the bowl system gave us a chance to play in one of the all time great bowls.
If you don't like the minor bowls, CHANGE THE F***ING CHANNEL. They hurt no one. They give G5 teams and their fans a nice time, and the players, who are not paid, remember, get a long trip (unlike in and out regular season games) and a swag bag of nice stuff.

Someone likes participation trophies.
EVERY game, except for Alabama - Clemson is a "participation trophy" this year.
We are still riding our basketball program getting a "participation trophy" for the first time in 30 years, and will do so until we get another or someone else "gets hot in the conference tourney and who knows".
The chances of MU football EVER playing for the I-A national championship is as close to absolute zero as can be. The chances of MU basketball EVER going past the second round is small, ever making even the Final Four is also near to absolute zero.
So do I like that? HECK YES. I'm a Marshall fan. I know what Marshall is, and am proud of what we accomplish. If you cannot accept what Marshall is, then THIS IS NOT FOR YOU. Just bandwagon on the Tide, or the Dukies, or whatever.
What does basketball have to do with bowl games? But the basketball team didn't get a participation trophy. They hanged a conference championship banner on Sunday.EVERY game, except for Alabama - Clemson is a "participation trophy" this year.
