By the same team that would easily murder us again…34-7.

Had we been stupid enough to accept the DEI bid.

While I wouldn't argue that we should have accepted a bowl bid, that's not the bowl we turned down. It was Birmingham.

Point 1 was 5-7 is DEI.
Point #2 is Texas State would have kicked our @ss again if we'd decided DEI is redeeming. Georgia State too, for that matter, whether it was Birmingham or your backyard.

We're going 1-16 next season.

Aranda will be gone before Fall arrives.

Looks like someone was on a roll.

I think you meant Georgia Southern, though, who was 6-6. Georgia State was horrible this year (1-11).

But let's be honest.

While we struggled this year, we likely would have waxed both Georgia Southern and Texas State (who also finished the season 6-6).

Not sure why folks are so bent out of shape about having been offered a bowl bid at 5-7. We could have easily been 6-6 had we taken the easy path and scheduled a Sun Belt or MAC team instead of Auburn in Week 1.

Had that been the case, would everyone still have been up in arms about accepting a mid-level bowl with a 6-6 record?

At least we had the guts to schedule a couple of worthy opponents out of conference. Just didn't work out as we'd hoped.

But our 5-7 record still would have been on par with a lot of 6-6 records that did qualify for a bowl.

Which is why I would have had no problem accepting the bowl bid under these circumstances and finishing the season on somewhat of a positive note.

They way they keep expanding playoffs, you never know. You don't even have to win a playoff game.

Counting the 5 Groundhog Day games, yes.

The sad thing is with the current NIL paradigm, I believe we are closer peers to Texas State than we are Texas Tech

I did mean Georgia Southern. Point for you.

This Baylor team would have been clobbered by both though. If you cannot achieve half the season in wins you have ZERO business being in any bowl. We failed because we sucked across the board because of no leadership amongst the players and zero from the coaching staff. Expect the suck to continue because our AD HAS ZERO BACKBONE!!

By the way…we got PASTED BY TEXAS STATE the last time we met. That was as bad as it was when we lost to UNT-Who also would have killed us again this year, btw…
