Did anyone think they would live long enough to see a season where the only state FBS team to win a bowl game would be Liberty University ?

[thepostman]

Not going to lie, that's pretty cool.

[BJWilliams]

MIght not lend a recruiting advantage for us, but I agree that is pretty cool

[ballcoach15]

It should help recruiting, at least a little. We are rising, VT probably stay same, UVA will fall.

The program that just went to the Orange Bowl will drop. I’m sure your biases have nothing to do with that opinion.

Perkins was a valuable role in that success and he's leaving. I dint think fall is the appropriate word, but UVA will need to regroup with their new starting qb.

[ballcoach15]

Yes, Perkins was a so called 1 man team. With him gone, they will be sucking wind next season. Hopefully they will revert back to a 2-10 season.

Orange Bowl was first chance I had to watch Perkins. Good player.

I watched first half of UVA vs Miami game in October. Only time I watched any UVA football since 2013, when I carried 2 high school players to UVA on a recruiting visit for a Thursday night game.

[thepostman]

@ballcoach15, I have never cared about UVA but you're tired act has made me become a huge UVA fan. So good job man!

[Jonathan Carone]

It’s amazing how he can make you want to cheer against what he likes.

[JK37]

Yes...

Tech sucks.

LU's Cure Bowl win was ranked a grade of A- (this was one of Ballcoach's sources).

If my calculations are correct, only 33 FBS teams won more games than LU this past season.

Those 33 teams all had a significantly higher Strength of Record.

Of the 21 teams that finished 8-5, only one team (Buffalo) had a worse Strength of Record than we did. Of the other 19 teams, 18 of them were at least 20 points higher in Strength of Record than we were.

This was a great year for us, but perspective is important. Our schedule was about as easy as it could possibly be.

[ballcoach15]

Schedule strength will always be topic of debate in college football. Heck some naysayers say that Alabama played an easy schedule even though they're in SEC west division. In my opinion, most P5 non SEC schools play easy schedules.

[Jonathan Carone]

Strength of record is based on data, not opinion.

[ballcoach15]

My opinion is based on data.

[Dalegarz1]

Who's on first?

Oxymoron.

[bluedevilflame]

Was there any merchandise available outside of the t shirts made? I'd love to get a pennant but cannot find one anywhere!

Beating Ga Southern took care of it. Proved we belonged.

Someone is missing a good opportunity to market our bowl win. There should be hats and t shirts flooding the market at LU bookstore and area Walmarts.
