How is it embarrassing to go to a bowl game? I would kill to go, it is good for recruiting and it gives you an extra month of practice. You would be an idiot to turn down ANY bowl invitation.

Because a team that can not have a winning season should NOT be rewarded with post season play.

Less than mediocraity shouldn't be rewarded, but since it is acceptable at ole miss I understand why fans of ole miss wouldn't think its a bad thing.

Because you would go with a losing record. For a program like Texas you dont think its a bit embarassing to be playing in some small bowl with a 5-7 record. Id be pissed if it was LSU.


ETA: It should be embarassing for any program, Texas was just the big name out of the group you posted.

Exactly. Take the invite win the game and bring some money back to the sec.

Any team with a 5-7 record would be foolish not to accept a bowl bid. The extra month of practice is worth any negativity from going with a losing record.
