All I hear is MSU gets this or that because of the SEC, etc. while USM will play anybody, anywhere, anytime. Guys, you just had your chance to play Penn State or BYU in games that would possibly matter to parts of the nation. Instead, you choose a bowl in Hawaii playing a nobody Nevada team on Christmas Eve. Congratulations. MSU can no longer be blamed for your little brother label. You have made that bed all your own. What's sad is that I'm pissed for your team. I guess it's "anybody we think we have a chance against, anywhere we can get a suntan, and anytime no one will be watching college football" Congrats dipshits and thanks. One more thing to be used against you in recruiting, etc.
OK, USM fans can no longer talk jack ****

it being a good vacation for the players, you can no longer claim to be a legit team. Could have proved it on the big stage, turned lemons into lemon pie, but failed miserably.
the dumbest move that I've ever seen in bowl selection and it was done by the school. The one chance you have to shut everybody up and you blow it on a Hawaiian vacation that nobody gives a damn about. Rediculous.
why the hell didn't they schedule a home and home with Hawaii? I feel worse for the players than anybody else because even they didn't want that ****. I even feel a little bad for the fans because I know that not all of the 10 are as much of douches as they tried to show when a few of them came over here talking **** or talked about us in the sanctity of their nests. But for the ones who did, this is a great big 17 you and I hope you enjoy your limelight in mediocrity.<div>
</div><div>Forget what I said earlier about representing Mississippi real well against Houston. You guys became a laughing stock and there are no one else to blame but yourselves.</div>

It sucks. I agree. Stupid *** move and we deserve the comments. I have no idea what LF was thinking other than getting a last vacation before moving out and then it is on our AD who has no balls.
It's completely over. You can't take back the bowl selection. Your fans, your team, and your program just got screwed by its own University and coach. If Mullen and MSU pulled a move like this, I'd be calling for everyone to be fired. This is by far the biggest cluster17 I have ever seen. They pretty much admitted that they don't give a crap about bowls or their fans.
PSU in the Ticket City Bowl. But in all honesty, how can the fans expect a bowl of any kind to extend them an invite knowing full well that they aren't going to bring a half section worth of fans. It amazes me to read the stuff they are spewing about getting overlooked, slighted, etc. Bowls are about butts in seats, USM fans keep their butts in their Lazy Boys @ home.
this happens at MSU. Dan and Scott are always going to fight for the highest prestige bowl we can get. I can't even imagine them doing something like that.Jackdragbean said:
I'm a USM fan and I'd come defend my school on this but...
F**k it.
You're right. That was the dumbest, most absurd decision I have ever seen and it makes us look like total cowards. Fedora and Giannini should be ashamed. We are pissed. Our players are pissed. Nobody is happy about it except for our coach, who probably won't even be around when it comes time to go to Hawaii.
As a USM fan, anyone has free reign to hammer us on this and our fans have no defense.
F**k it.

Your team choked (UAB and Marshall) and your leadership chose a **** bowl. Fedora will leave (probably wont even coach your bowl) and your 10 fans will be left with their thumbs up their asses while sitting in the trailer park.<div>

He made a suggestion, that I whole heartily agree with.
You guys need to take up funds to see that the players parent(s) get to go the game.
Hell ya'll aren't going to go, so help out the family.
Good luck!

Even Ship Island? That's my favorite barrier island of all.
I'll disagree with the "your state" statement, but unlike most USM fans, I'm not obsessed with what Ole Miss/State fans think of us. If you want to throw a freaking party about going 6-6 and talk about "our state" and "championships," be my
guest.
Best of luck. Enjoy playing a bowl in the continental United States. You'll kick the **** out of whatever ACC team you are playing. Hopefully it will be as entertaining as our blockbuster game.

I thought Fedora was here forever.
Yeah, all ten of us. We're all related to one another too.
By the way, we actually upgraded to Jim Walter homes.

or by default, is he a douche because due to the law of averages there can't be that many decent USM fans.
And yes, Fedora/Gianini screwed you guys big time. You deserved better. Congrats on your CUSA title. Sucks that Fedora choked on two wins he should have had or you'd have been in the Sugar Bowl. Hell, you probably would have been there with even one of those wins.QB1MattSaracen said:

Thanks for the sympathy, buddy. Yeah this was a special year (potential to be even more special as you said) that should not have ended in Hawaii in front of 12,000 people against Nevada.

Anyway, you guys are alright (in small doses).
that will come over here. But for the most part, BGN and EP have been rather lack luster. BGN will block you if you say 1 negative thing about Southern (same thing goes for the fans) and EP seems to be a little better, but the more you read there, they're comparable to BGN without all of the sunshine being pumped.<div>

1. The payout of $1.3M is one of the smaller ones for all bowl games. (Ticketcity is even $2.2M)
2. They're going to have to pay their own way for a week long trip to Hawaii.
3. Just like any bowl game, they'll be forced to buy a fairly large allotment(possibly around 15K-20K) of tickets and eat any that they don't sell.
Financially, this decision makes zero sense.

OPHjust hasthe advantage of marquee value on this board-- by far the most visible USM fan here, and he's okay by me.
Last I heard... the conference is supposed to pay their way to Hawaii... so they may not take that big of a hit in actuality.Seinfeld said:
