Bowl Game Projections

- Start date
Pollard is doing a great job. Not my point. My point was he told a flat out lie to the fan base by saying Liberty means more practice time. And if we play Memphis, they will have had one more week of practice than us.
False. You don't get any extra payments by making the National Championship. The top 4 get the same payout regardless. They do get like $2mil to pay for expenses though
Murph and Andy radio?
No he didn't say that. He said Campbell wanted the latest game possible to get more practice time.
Seriously..
Not to mention that "practice" time is the same for everybody... time together with their team mates is not.
"Playoff Revenue Pool: Each of the Big 5 conferences will receive an estimated $50 million, whether or not it qualifies a team for the playoffs. An estimated $6 million bonus will be paid for each team a conference sends to the semifinals, $4 million for participating in one of the “Big 6 Bowls”, but no additional dollars for reaching the championship game where each school will receive an estimated $2 million for expenses. Each of the “Group of 5” conferences (American, CUSA, MAC, MWC, Sun Belt), will receive an estimated $18 million each, Notre Dame will receive an estimated $3.75 million, and remaining independents will bag roughly $1.85 million each. Big 6 bowls that don’t host a semifinal game, will split additional revenue with the participating teams/conferences."
Still would be nice to say that the NC team only had one loss to ISU on the Sooners home field.
You are right. First point stands though based on the last statement in your other post.
We beat the best team in the country on their home turf.
We sure as hell can beat Memphis on theirs. Christ, we might have more fans there.

It will be a good bowl environment because attendance will be 50/50 at worst like you say. And Memphis is a damn good football team. It will be a hard game. Great bowl match-up. Not so great playing in their home stadium.
Nothing about playing a G5 is a "great bowl matchup"
Haven't found attendance for this year but last year Memphis averaged over 37k fans. I'd bet they averaged well over 40k this year.
What he **** are you talking about? He wasn’t comparing it to playing Memphis he meant that the Liberty was later on the calendar than the other Bowls we’ve been mentioned for.
Okay, do we want WI or OSU to win tonight? Does that affect TCU and the NY6 conversation one way or the other?
Nothing about playing on someone else's home field/town is either.
