2025 Bowl Predictions

[Nameless]

Duke's Mayo Bowl in Charlotte, but it only seats 75,000
Jan 2
Pitt vs UConn

Pitt? In a January bowl game? YES PLEASE

Would love either, or any bowl game at all, but especially would love to see the Metro North crowd pack Yankee Stadium for the Pinstripe Bowl against a B10 team.

totally... if it did happen, hopefully they don't stick us with rutgers. that would feel like a cop out to spare their bigger brands from having to play us.

I would be thrilled to play someone like Iowa, Minnesota, UW, Illinois, or Nebraska. All middle-of-the-pack B1G teams with actual brand cachet, where a win is possible, if we play our best game ever.

Of all of these though, my favorite would be UW. Huskies vs. Huskies, Jim Mora facing his home sweet home. Mix in some basketball history between the 2 programs, and there's a great back story.

the football teams are glorified high school teams.

Assumption was at one time number 24 in the country in division 2 this year

I like to know where you went to high school that your teams are that good

Division 2 players are okay high school players. The best high school players go either Division 1 and/or Division IAA. No comparison of level of players. My daughter went to High school at The Hun School of Princeton. Her team definitely could beat division 2 and 3 teams given the level of players each year that played division I.

Been there, done that. Yawn. But we had a guy at our tailgate who was a regular on One Tree Hill. Wake fan, though.

Joe Zone mentioned the Cure Bowl in Orlando as a possibility. I havent researched the bowl tie-ins so I have no clue if this is a realistic possibility.

I wonder where Joe read that?

Assumption was never an all girls school. Salva was at one time

He made the wrong Assumption.

Fine 'em!! They are being paid. What are they gonna do in the NFL, not play in last game of the season because they are in the playoffs?

That’s actually an interesting question….does NIL change the whole “I’m sitting out the bowl game” issue? Does the NIL agreement ever include language around being available to play in all games when healthy?

It bogles my mind how many expensive private schools are located around Princeton (Hun, Lawrenceville, Peddie, Princeton Day, Stuart)...can pay for a few years at UConn when you compare the tuitions.

Last year I was out of country for our bowl, and if we get another good bowl, I think it's gonna overlap when I'm out of the country again, but I'll gladly watch the recording when I return.
