"What are the odds that a 5-7 Rutgers team goes bowling? Better than you think"

[Tango Two]

"Since we first reported that seven-loss Rutgers is still alive for a bowl berth two weeks ago, we've read plenty of comments that there's no chance of this scenario happening.
Guess what? The odds are actually better than you think."

Hopefully enough teams win for NO 5-7 teams to play in bowls this year.

 

[RUsSKii]

I believe that another "market correction" is in order.

 

[RUfromSoCal?]

so, should i pack my bags for Dallas or The Bahamas ?

A bowl win would be a nice way to top off a disappointing season.
6-7 doesn't sound THAT bad after all that's happened this year.

when you look at the wins, it does...

 

[knightfan7]

If you can put their feelings about Flood aside, I don't see anything wrong with it. Going is a heck of a lot better than not.

When you look at all the blowouts it also does.

 

[Blitz8RU]

yes let's go 5-8! Let's lose some more!

Some here can't possibly put aside their feelings in regards to Flood. Standards are so high here and the fan base has become so used to winning that a mediocre season is intolerable.
Seriously, the shrill ones have become virtually impossible to handle.
I may start using that "ignore" option yet.

If the team wins and gets to 5-7 then talk about it.

I understand that. I look at it as two different things . Flood should go but I want the best possible outcome for the '15 team and a bowl game is in my opinion the best outcome.

If the team doesn't want to go, they should be able to vote so. If the do want to continue, who are any of us to say they shouldn't?

A mediocre team doesn't get obliterated by all but 1 decent team it faces. The coaching is awful. We have enough talent to compete but we are not.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Someone called us a "mediocre" team? Thank you! You have officially assured that I will be laughing all day long!!

WTF ?
Our standards are so high that we shouldn't be pissed off that RU has been destroyed and embarrassed in 8 B1G Conference games over the last 2 seasons ?
Shouldn't be pissed our Coach has only won 2 games and Lost 20 games vs. winning teams since October 2012.
You are a fool.
