And to be honest, do we deserve much of a bowl bid ?  While I would be happy 
to have us go to a bottom tier bowl, we certainly have not shown bowl material 
most of  the year-  We are not bad , but we are not  too good either .I 
havent checked our rating, but I suspect that we are not in the top half.  

Yes we have had some exciting wins, but have played poorly in many other 
games--Our record will be inflated by a very easy non-conference schedule -at 
least 3 of those games we played poorly--or at least below how a bowl bound team 
should play-

Still I am optimistic about the future--we are going in the right direction 
albeit with some starts and stops and Fitz is the right guy and will learn as 
he gets more experience.
