Of course they 'care' - but it ain't 100%. This carries over to coaches BTW - who are without a doubt recruiting more than they would otherwise. They also don't bring the same intensity to practice. Notre Dame just killing itself for the stinking SUN BOWL ya think? Ducks really fired up, ready to get down to work for LIBERTY? Maybe it won't matter sure, but if handicapping you have to factor it in. SO, rather than AX yourself do they care : * where did they want to be when the season began? * what was the realistic goal? - a winning season, bowl game, bowl game W, conf. title, play-off spot, nat. title. * has their goal been met, or is there more work to be done? " HAS THEIR STORY BEEN WRITTEN?" Then check on the head coach - some simply don't care about bowls at all, and do a poor job - they would rather be recruiting (Kiffin). Some feel they are very important and do a great job. What direction is the program heading - getting worse each year, or better? This game might be HUGE for a program on the rise. Ton of factors, esp. who TF is gonna even be there? But always go back to: " WHO WANTS IT MORE?" BOL this bowl season boys .............

Bowl prep differs amongst coaches. Depending on the bowl, the matchup, and the available personnel some coaches treat these practices like pre-season practice for the fall meaning they are trying to develop the players that we will see next year more than they are working with current starters. Different coaches have different strategies.
With UGA this is the first time they are playing a game where at national title shot isn’t at stake in almost 3 years. I don’t expect to see their best effort.

Allllllllllllll aboard
Recommendation Number 2
Texas St - 4.5
squads with different mindsets heading into this game, Texas st sold out their ticket allotment in 2 days, they haven’t been to a bowl since the 1700’s, it’s a smash, recommend any number under 7
we are slowly but surely bringing this together, time to snipe from the rooftop on these books

@WahooS
Being a Marshall Grad you all are spot on...We are a hot mess...QB1 out RB1 out WR1 out 2 starting OL out just to name a few...along with the HC throwing the fanbase under the bus about trashing players and no NIL....I am all over UTSA...
Like the TX State angle
The Funbelt in play in both investments like it!
Happy Holidays!! THX for all the hard work!

On it! I see UTSA is up to -12' here, glad we got in early. 
People rarely do that which is not expected of them.

Love it, no one wants to play for that clown coach at Marshall. Total smash.

cheers to you, I don’t like laying 9.5 in a bowl game but I can’t see this one remaining within that number, Marshall is simply a disaster from my view

Utsa is our first bet, we aren’t taking those games on the 16th
im battling a virus at the moment so I’ll be chilling & getting our slate prepared after Utsa
for those wondering, 13 isn’t enough for Marshall either
runners should get us all paid
I annihilated that line
