    We need both.
    For reps, we're not going to get that many more reps. I think bowl games typically allow for 15 more practices??? If we play Dec. 19th and go to tampa on Dec. 26th, we'd have to practice on Christmas Eve and CHristmas day to get a normal week of practice in. If we play in the liberty, we could probably get in a few more practices, but no where near a normal bowl.

    FOr payout, I would assume the payout for Birmingham and Tampa will barely cover expenses. We'll get the normal big payout from all the bowl money, but I don't think us going to Birmingham or Tampa will move the needle either way.

    I want this team to play in a bowl game and get reps, it's just not going to be as important or as beneficial as in normal years, where not going bowling means you are losing significant ground against other teams that basically get an extra spring.

    I can?t see us having 40 players still playing if we have a Bowl Game... its going to tough for us to get these last two games in.

    Bowl games are pretty pointless this year. With how recruiting is going, maybe we get a bump for a Feb signee.

    Yes it would; Liberty has to be a shoe in somewhere. We shouldn't go before them but I'll take it. The everybody gets a trophy bowl streak could continue.

    Bowls are basically rewards for conference finishes now because of all the tie-ins. This year, they're not even that. They're more or less purely exhibition games for certain conferences.

    You can use your practices after the bowl game if you'd like right? Not practical I know

    I'll take as many reps as we can get.
