Liberty Bowl postgame thread
- Thread starter Cyclonepride
- Start date
Honestly seems very reasonable to me. It’s abundantly clear these are exhibitions that only exist to make companies/sponsors cash.
We won in the margarine. We were butter soft.
Crappy game.
Couldn’t block or cover or tackle
Had a good time for
a few days in Memphis.
no one in my group got shot or mugged.
It’s a wash

And yet - Sama against K-State. Balance people…
They weren't even in the top 3 in the AAC let alone a top G5 team. That's quite a way to cope.
Love that the staff is actually using “we’re winning the Big12 and making the 12 team playoff” as a recruiting element. Never have recruited this way. Now we are (from what I understand) and we got boat raced by ******* Memphis.
Can’t make this **** up.

True, but I like the talent from the underclassmen right now. This one game could impact the incoming transfer portal for this season only, but I don’t really know how much impact this would have. I don’t think a transfer portal athlete will only look at bowl game results to determine where they want to play the following year. If you were a transfer athlete, would you make your decision based on bowl games or how a school you feel you could make the biggest impact with?
I just don’t think this outcome will have any significant impact on the program
I expect great coaching, inspired play and solid execution.
None of which was apparent tonight or during several games this year.

I like the term boat race too. It’s fun to say. But losing by less than 30 is not that…
Hey, as long as they had fun on their tour of Sun Studios I'm totally fine with what happened on the field today.
Your expectations match mine. I’ve always said that realistically there is a ceiling for what we can sustain year in and year out - and it’s around 7 with outliers above and below. But I expect that we’re losing those other games to P5 opponents or a G5 team having a Top 15 type year.
Memphis was without 3 OL, down several defenders, and had an interim DC. I have to expect being more competitive than we were today against such an opponent. The new Big 12 has a lot of parity and opportunities for us to have those great years every few seasons. But we have to start getting some momentum behind us.
Very disappointing to hear CMC admit he was out coached by an interim DC. That was the excuse for the first half. Did he have another pathetic take for scoring the same amount points in the second half?
Knew team would make it a game. Becht’s future looks great.
It’s mostly just fun for me to see them suit up one more time. Felt very different about the Fiesta Bowl. Even the Alamo Bowl to some degree. This one just doesn’t move the needle much.
Fair. I think a Portal guy is saying - where do I want to spend the last year or two of my career - at a team I cam compete with or a team that is going to be rebuilding the whole time.
I agree. I just don’t think someone can look at a mid level bowl game only to determine if the program will be rebuilding or compete for the next 1-2 years.
Yes, this outcome was disappointing. But I personally don’t think this game will have much, if any merit, on next year’s season.
Doesn’t matter who we play in non-con. Coaching staff is still in hibernation at that point.
