Independence Bowl vs Louisiana-Lafayette - Game Thread

There’s a chance it will be the last full game in front of fans* and a chance for Tulsa to not be his last game with UH. That’s lots of reason. Maybe not enough (and that’s fine) but it’s a mistake to assume players look at it the way (frustrated) fans do.

  • I mean there’s the senior game thing but don’t they rotate players for that?

2,200,000 is not bad!

Not so sure, we tend to not play well against perceived “ lesser opponents “. But I hope we roll em like we did ECU

We have not beaten a non-p5 team in a bowl game since the 2008 season.

All of our bowl wins since the 2008 season are against P5 teams.

And some will say this bowl is better than the Cotton and everyone who doesn’t think so should just shut up and enjoy it.

No, I doubt anyone will say that.

Dana’s really got us playing Big-Boy Football! Playing U-La-La because Duchense Academy of the Sacred Heart’s team is busy with their annual cotillion. Good thing U-La-La is 6-6. Heaven forbid we actually have to break a sweat. Don’t worry, next year we’re playing for the Big 12 title!

We may be, but that is not my expectation.

Maybe the FB team can get a package deal for tickets to the Cotton Bowl?

We tend to suck in bowl games like this. Remember Army?

Early line: UH -3.5

I think that that Army team was a bit better than this year’s U-La-La team, and moreover, it appears that we’ll have a four year starter at QB as opposed to a freshman.

I don’t see a lot of similarities between this and the infamous Army blowout.

Wonder if that jumps now that Tune and Dell said they are in?

Worth keeping an eye on. Will probably be adjusted also for transfer portals.

If we don’t beat ULL we might as well shut the program down or rescind our Big 12 invite lol

Some of our fans are acting like we should be in the final four of the CFP Playoffs. The Independence Bowl is the best we could expect, given UH’s performance. You may not like the bowl, but at least embrace the fact that UH has one more game with our seniors and great publicity on ESPN.

Another positive: After this game, we can put AAC in the rear view mirror for football.
