2025 Bowl Predictions

I think the way fans showed up last year at the Fenway Bowl will go a long way for us in a bowl selection this year. The bigger bowls want teams that bring fans. We brought fans last year. Sure it was a short drive, but we showed up in force! I’m sure bowls will take note of this when looking for teams to select in December, assuming they are not required to take a team.

OOF....sorry to hear that....I had a weirdly mild case of shingles fifteen years ago....never got much of a skin outbreak, but had all kinds of abdominal and side pain....doctors couldn't figure it out for over a week until a nurse noticed several "pock marks" in a line and they tested...voila.
Needless to say I went and got the shingles vaccine a couple years ago...I've seen some people with unbelievable outbreaks from shingles and I don't want that shizzle. Feel better...hope you can get to the game Saturday!

Thanks, man. Antivirals working but half my face looked like the elephant man. Eye swollen shut. Real mess. But things are like 100% better other than I still scare small children with blisters all over. This just totally sucks. For the rest of you “I don’t need a shingles vaccine” heroes like me, trust me, do the shots.

My deepest sympathy/empathy. I had shingles misdiagnosed and caught late that went over my scalp to my forehead; absolutely the worst thing ever. Three levels of pain, the excruciating surface pain of the open wounds, the debilitating nerve pain that traveled back and forth just under my scalp, and the thudding headache. I've had every shingles vaccines since in fear of it returning.
 
Yuck!

ESPN predicts either Myrtle Beach vs Troy or Gasparilla vs Utah State.

Both awful bowls and both before the holidays and on a Friday.

We should do better than either of those bowls but I know we have our hands tied not being in a conference.

If we close out the season strong, I wouldn’t be too worried about our bowl/opponent. Don’t think we’d get stuck in a bowl like that
 
Earlier in this thread, the discussion was focused around if UConn would make a bowl at 6-6 and no conference tie-ins.

Given that we now have 7 wins (including a duke win), should we still be worried about this possibility?

Is it metaphysically impossible for us to be excluded as we sit here today? No. But the odds that we are shut out are such that I would spend my time worrying about slightly more likely possibilities. Like someone you love being killed by a flower pot falling from their balcony onto their head.,

7-5 is probably gauranteed some low tier bowl against a middle of the back Sun Belt, C-USA team. I think 9-3 will get us at least a mid level P4 team in some middle tier bowl game. Which is beyond anything we would have excepted 4 years ago.
 
My guess is UConn will play in the Fenway Bowl again. Why? Most likely, the SEC will get 4 or 5 schools into the CFP which means the SEC won't fill all of their bowl slots and some attractive bowls will need schools so there will be trading of slots between bowls. I would think the schools to take the SEC slots would be AAC or ACC schools.

In my utopian world, the Huskies finish the regular season at 9-3. They then get selected to the Pinstripe Bowl to play against Iowa, coached by UConn alum Kirk Ferentz... but that's me...

I love your utopian world...... I'd like to add one more thing if it's okay with you?

We get offered a spot in a P4.

I just had my wife move the flower pot off the balcony
