Anyone Think SC Will Make a Bowl Game? SoCal93 Junior Member Joined: Aug 24, 2017 Messages: 5,084 Likes Received: 6,122 Sep 17, 2016 #1 We'll probably get another 3 to 5 losses before the season is up. I'm beginning to seriously doubt our chances.

My son & I were getting bored with Pete's Rose bowls, boy the good old days. Do you travel to see bad football? My son used to fly in for half the games at the Coli. After last nite at the farm he said not worth it to see bad football.

Send a message to the players and staff, bowl games are earned! Not given. Besides, our goal is win the Pac-12 South, Win the conference, then go to a bowl we earned!

More like some tertiary hotel chain bowl and a new dot com. If it were me I would decline any invitation at this level.

Now I think maybe 1 of the Zona schools and maybe 1 of either Colorado or Cal. Oregon state may be the only sure win we have. So I'll downgrade my critical 5-7 or 6-6 preseason prediction to 4-8. Omg. 4-8 at USC!!!!! Utah state, Colorado, Arizona and Oregon state will be the wins. Awesome.

USCDENTIST Junior Member Joined: Aug 24, 2017 Messages: 0 Likes Received: 0 Sep 19, 2016 #1 Somehow we are going to win 6 and make it to a bowl game. I just hope we can somehow win in salt lake this weekend since it will likely be the only game I attend this season. Making a trip to watch a loss is the worst.

If one is not allowed to come back and point out your previous comments and expose them as untrue then one is forever beholding to the Tweet-truth of our soon to be nominated president.
