How many Mizzou fans would you expect to travel to Shreveport, LA to watch Louisiana Monroe play Ohio?

Maybe someone can clarify what the point of the bowl shots are? Indy Bowl has struggled for awhile due in no small part to location. Shreveport is a dump if you've never been. Lower tier bowls in general often struggle in terms of attendance.

I would largely agree, but come on bro: they had 10K actuals in the seats. If you can't beat a high school game, the bowl shouldn't exist. I mean UNC had already fired their coach for poor performance (ostensibly right?) So why did they make a bowl game if their season was a failure?

We got a shit bowl invite because we were leaving the conference, and no Big 12 affiliated bowl was going to give us a spot...so we went ahead and kicked the shit out of North Carolina and walked away with the trophy...kind of like how we kicked the shit out of Kansas in our last Big 12 football game and walked away with the trophy...or how we kicked the shit out of Baylor in our last Big 12 game and walked away with the conference trophy.
That is how you leave in style.

I'm surprised you actually got the game right.
Either way, I'll take walking out the door with the Big 12 trophy every time. BTW, did you ever get the stains out after we ****ed the Big 12 in the ass and wiped our dick off with your drapes?

To two of your points which I agree w/ and are married - too many bowls results in teams that have had underwhelming seasons which are not viewed as successes by their fan bases are still rewarded w/ bowl trips. Way too many. I by no means think MU travels really great like a Wisconsin bc we don't but here are a couple considerations: that was our 3rd trip to the Indy since 2003, so not only an undesirable location but also our 3rd trip in recent memory. We were lucky to get that bowl w/ the sec's help after the big 12 filled all their slots and jumped us for obvious reasons. So some fans were probably down about it. And the weather was terrible. To the last point that would only affect locals coming out (walk up). I don't think MU fans should be given a free pass but if you compare w/ other Indy Bowls it's not out of the norm bc it's a crap bowl in a crap town. Also NC didn't just fire their coach for not winning enough, they were mired in an NCAA investigation and Davis' program was viewed as out of control.
