In FB, used to take 7-3 minimum to go bowling...then 7-4 when the 11th game was added. Wasn't too long ago that 6-6 was considered mediocre, not "bowl eligible." I think at one time only 10% of what was called "Division One" went to a bowl.
Hah! We turned down the Gator Bowl with an 8-2 record and a borderline top-ten ranking. According to, I believe, either Sumner or Featherston, players hated Bill Murray's intense practices and didn't want to go through another three weeks.
