And gets to play in the bowl game. One of my favorite players.
Hope Himon is okay

If Himon and Komo both play in the bowl game we can beat anybody.
There are five data points this season that would contradict this statement?
That said, I do think we should win our bowl game for three reasons:
1) We are playing another 6 win team. Our opponent will likely not be very good, either.
2) We are likely to have fewer sit-outs than our opponent as our draft prospects are slim and we have less transfer turnover than other schools.
3) In general I think many programs don’t really put a lot into bowl wins. Unless it’s a marquee bowl game, most schools mail it in. The Cats are always try hards in these games.
Nonsense post. What are the 5 data points that contradict my statement. You list nothing but the 3 reasons we should win!
So, not that we’re actually as good or better than the team we’re playing but because we take bowl games more seriously than other teams and our opponent isn’t very good(like us) and we will also have less players sitting out because the opponent will have more NFL guys(even though they’re not very good). Got it.
We lost five games. Counterpoint to “we can beat anyone with those two healthy” I’m throwing out the Illinois game since we had neither guy.
Those aren’t the only three reasons. But they are three reasons for optimism in our bowl game this year.
And I didn’t say our opponent would be loaded with NFL draft picks. Just that we’d have less sitouts due to BOTH our lack of NFL prospects AND our typically low transfer turnover. We retain higher than the average. Usually guys who are transferring leave before the bowl game.
Uh, no. I was talking about the bowl game, where we will not be playing the Michigans and Oregons of the world. In terms of our bowl game, we can beat anyone if Himon and Komo are healthy. Do you disagree?
