[Hurricane Season]

From the USC Trojans to the Florida Atlantic Owls.
 
Quite the career path.

Joey Freshwater must really want to live in Miami.

Holy shit, JMU!!

Hats off to James Madison. I never expected a Colonial team to be that good but they came into Fargo with a great game plan.The play that swung momentum back in their favor was a Bison senior lining up offsides on a 4th and 19 that put JMU into FG range and then their kicker made his first 40+ yard kick of the season.
 
I'm grateful for the run but goddammit, NDSU needs to recruit some real receivers, man. I know they're a run-first team but you can't tell me that all this success couldn't have landed some of the big WRs other FCS teams have. But no, let's have all these small guys who can't get open. Fantastic.

These HBCU teams still always have a white kicker

Bo Pelini's FCS squad won on this

I understand why players are skipping bowl games to focus on the draft, but I really don't like it.
 
I'm certainly not going to call any of them quitters.  I just hope this doesn't begin a trend.

 

[elcheato]

If they're no longer students there, why should they play? Semester is over, and their only payment is "education"

 

[Hurricane Season]

Like I said, I understand it.  I don't disagree with them choosing not to play.  It just feels like they're doing their teammates a disservice by acknowledging that the success of the team doesn't matter to them as much as everyone else.  Most of those guys don't have an NFL future ahead of them, and they're going to head into what might be the last football game they ever play without a guy they've relied on for the past 3+ years.
 
They're focusing on their careers though, and I get it.

Jaylon Smith's injury really changed things. He was gonna go top 10 and now he might never play again.

If a player is gonna sit out of a bowl game while healthy, they shouldn't be allowed to travel with the team at the very least. If you're taking the vacation, get your ass on the field.

pffff

Idaho's moving down to the FCS and their last hoorah is playing a bowl game in their own state.

 

[Delirium]

Damn, that was really funny at first but then I found out that it actually isn't their real equipment truck.

Miami of Ohio is beating the best 7 loss team in the country

 

[Hurricane Season]

Mississippi State is so good they didn't even need to reach bowl eligibility to become bowl eligible.

 

[Hurricane Season]

Miami's front seven next year has the potential to be filthy.
 
Worried about the secondary, and very worried about the quarterback position, though.  That front seven should be able to mask some of the weaknesses on the back end, but I have no idea what to expect at QB.  Hopefully N'kosi Perry is as good as Canes fans are hyping him up to be, because Malik Rosier kind of sucks.

 

[elcheato]

I see the SEC is doing well 

 

[Hurricane Season]

5-7 Mississippi State is the only SEC team to win a bowl so far.
 
That's seven quality losses, though. 

 

[CameronCrazy06]

I mean they'll win the championship though
