They didn't play in a bowl in 2020. They have won their last 7, but not 7 straight.

The real upset is Scot Loeffler getting to a sixth season as head coach of Bowling Green. That is amazing.

More thoughts on the game yesterday:

Pj's M.O. is take the #1 running back and run him into the ground. I thought this may have been an accident early in his tenure, but it's now clearly his thing. 

Also, his preferred QBs are one that stare at WR1 and get WR1 decapitated.

Cole Kramer tossed two TD passes despite, as the BG coach said in his post-game presser, being unable to throw the ball from me to you. Maybe had some of Athan's passes arrived as lobs instead of heaters, they would have been TDs.

I'm glad the Gophers won. I have no idea how his brand of ball is going to translate into the new landscape of college football. 

Downtown Detroit is highly underrated nowadays.

Minnesota emerged victorious in the Quick Lane Bowl against Bowling Green. The win was expected to earn head coach P.J. Fleck a bonus check. However, an interesting twist prevented him from receiving it.

According to reports, Bowling Green coach Scot Loeffler will receive on-field bonuses totaling $32,500 for the season. This is due to Minnesota’s win over Bowling Green in the Quick Lane Bowl. In contrast, P.J. Fleck will not receive a bowl-participation bonus as per his contract, because the Golden Gophers had a regular season record of 5-7.

Despite their victorious bowl game, Minnesota finished the 2023 season with an overall record of 6-7, placing fourth in the Big Ten. Their last four regular season games resulted in losses before defeating Bowling Green on Tuesday.

Commuting home last night, caught sight of the Holiday Bowl floats for today's downtown parade:



My goal for the Holiday Bowl was to attend as one of the "Big Flag holders" for the pregame anthem, but they never reached out after signing up:

Don't remember so many penalties during past bowl seasons.

Jayhawks may have set a halftime record
A very 90s Canes-like performance,  45+ points, 200 yards in penalties.  Obviously makes one think of this.

The Military Bowl had strong Independence Bowl vibes this year.  I think if the weather was ever pleasant for the Independence Bowl, they would turn on the sprinklers and have a couple of helicopters hover over the stadium

I thought VA Tech was Miami there for a few minutes, with their white helmets and orange pants.

Tech put up rushing yards that look like Tulane on a good day.

Not gonna lie, USC trying hard in this bowl was not what I expected. 

Also, Louisville, WYD?
