And maybe still in the running for a conference championship.
Had higher hopes early in the season but this is better than what I feared.
Good win tonight!! D looked awesome.

Another year at 6-6 or 7-5, way to improve Rocky & Bob.

I don't think any team should get into a Bowl at 6-6.
The fact that some teams do get in to Bowl games with non-winning records just shows that there are too many bowls. The bottom tier Bowls are pointless.

It is better to go a bowl than not go...We need to crush SJSU next week and get some momentum, and use the extra practice time.

Excellent performance overall. Destroyed them in the second half and dominated every aspect of the game. A holding penalty and one poor angle by our CB from being a major blowout. We we beat a good team playing who still had a lot to play for. Now hope for Nevada and Fresno to each lose one or be tied next week when a tornado warning ends the game and we could be playing CSU for championship. Good time tonight at game. |

I wish we were still winning two or three games a year. All these bowl games are tiring. #plateaued.

If my memory serves me correctly, there were 4 P5 teams that ended up going to a bowl game at 6-6 record last year. No one from the non P5 conference ended up going to a bowl game with a 6-6 record. I know Rocky hates the word " Must Win" but they have to win on Saturday if the want to extend the season... We almost didnt get selected to a bowl game last yeat at 7-5.

Most Bowl games are simply another game on the schedule nowadays. You want to be in one no matter what. I don't care if it's the bum-fuh bowl in Siberia. Get on ESPN, get the practice days, get the special treatment, get the team building events during bowl week. Get it every year. Things will get better when you can show recruits bowl games are the norm.

MWC teams 1 through 7 are eligible for bowls and 6-6 will get us there. Besides, the Molehill West won't have 7 eligible teams. As long as we don't lose money going to a bowl were ok. |

The bottom tier Bowls are pointless. You didn't talk to many players after the Potato Bowl last year then, did you? I thought board mods were insiders... if you talk to the kids, that simple game against Khalil Mack on the Blue Turf had a lot of personal meaning to them. Pointless? News flash, all of our bowl tie-ins suck, are they all pointless? Where them is the cut off between meaningful and pointless? I bet it's probably somewhere after a line drawn before any bowl Rocky coaches in, n'est-ce pas? Sent from my Admiral Mark 01 Telegraph machine via Sputnik with dial-up |

Another year at 6-6 or 7-5, way to improve Rocky & Bob. Let's see, over the years 8-3, 9-2, 8-4, 10-1 Aztec teams weren't "good enough" for a bowl game. Now, (and once again), you fart six wins and there's a multitude of "Capital One" games to entertain the faithful. Good news, a good win against AFA. Bad news, the team doesn't play AFA 12 times. |

How many times have the Aztecs been top 6 in conference? The bowl game streak does not mean that this is the most successful run our team has had. We played well last night. It was fun to watch.

Every Bowl game and every nationally televised regular season game is a chance for the Aztecs to improve their progam by providing exposure to potential recruits who would otherwise have little knowedge about SDSU. Even if you think the system is broken because there are too many Bowl games, I'd much rather be a have than a have-not when the invitations go out.
The short-sighted Bowl cynicism is just getting tired.

I certainly want the Aztecs to go bowling as do the majority of the cynics on this board. My, obviously, over the top reaction to the bowl games stem from people constantly equating being bowl eligible to having a successful season. It would be like people celebrating their wealth and success because they have a color television. When everyone had a color tv that stopped being a measure.

If a Bowl has to invite a team that doesn't have a winning record then that Bowl is extraneous and probably shouldn't exist. Teams that don't have winning records do NOT belong in Bowl games. 6-6 shouldn't be the record that makes a team Bowl eligible. 7-5 should be. |

Doesn't the season start with the goal of getting to a bowl game.AKA point of the season. |

Your analogy would be more accurate if instead of a color TV you chose something that only half of the population referenced had access. Not everyone goes to a bowl. Approximately 1/2 of the DI schools do. Perhaps a luxury car or a vacation home would be more appropriate? |
