Dumb, they need to whack a good 4-6 bowl games off the table. Although seeing Riley at a 5-8 record makes me a little giddy. |

Since SJSU made a bowl, that means we did get a win vs a bowl team this season!

And quite happy, that OSU, is not stuck, with a mediocre coach, who gets rewarded, for a below mediocre record, and a bowl game, versus a team, that waxed Oregon State 41-0. |

So, playing devils advocate, what's your post I'd said rewarded mediocre coach with mediocre record happens to beat said team that beat OSU 41-0? Just wondering as UCLA, to me is definitely not a lock to win that game. Injuries or not, I find Mora to be an average coach with all the talent he brings in. If Tommy Armstrong actually doesn't turn it over multiple times as per his habit, I think Nebraska walks away 6-7. |

Nebraska hates the rain, it'll be raining in the Bay Area almost guaranteed for that game. BOOK IT DAN-O |

I would never have guessed. Maybe the prettiest ugly girl in the room?

Let's say OSU won 5 this season and was awarded a bowl, would you be complaining about Andersen being rewarded? |

Not sure why anyone cares???!
There are 40 bowls... only 3 games are significant in terms of "trophies". The remainder are simply:
>rewards (in some cases?? LOL) for the players;
>$$$ for the conference/teams;
>extra practice time for the younger players/head start on Spring ball
Bottom line, unless you're in the semis/final hunt, then they all basically boil down to that... so watch or don't... enjoy or not. Personally I do not really don't schedule to watch any of these games. If I'm free and I click thru the guide I might flip one or more on for a while. Usually highlight shows will do it for me.
Unless the Beavers are participating I really don't care... Riley or otherwise.

Let's say OSU won 5 this season and was awarded a bowl, would you be complaining about Andersen being rewarded? That would not have been possible even with 5 wins as OSU's APR is low at 946. The Pac-12 conference average APR is 961 and rival Oregon has an APR of 967. Nebraska had an excellent APR of 985, followed by Minnesota and San Jose State at 975. Only high APR programs were in consideration for going bowling with 5 wins. Folks can complain about Bo Pelini's coaching ability but he left them with a good APR and Mike didn't leave OSU with a good APR, so no bowl even with 5 wins. That needs to improve. |

Price you pay sometimes for leaning on academic risks to fill your classes up... Just how many Kyle Peko like saga's have we followed? Riley had a lot of background guys drift off into the sunset in his years that largely went unnoticed. |

Given Andersen's frustration with the academic requirements at Wisconsin, is it reasonable to assume that we're going to have these eligibility sagas continue as he tries to get marginal academic achievers into OSU?

I'm aware our apr is nowhere near good enough to make a bowl. I was just raising a scenario. |

I suspect. It seems to me I looked up Wisconsin's academic requirements and they were nearly the same as OSU's... had me somewhat concerned. Maybe Wisconsin doesn't accept any Prop (whatever, can't remember the number) kids? |
