While watching Southern Miss ruin the season for Houston in the C-USA Championship Game last Saturday, I couldn’t help but think back to the stupid 2 point try in Hattiesburg. UCF was as good as Southern Miss. Yet Southern Miss is wearing the conference crown and going to Hawaii (what happened to the champ going to Memphis?). So now we get to watch all these bowl games with teams we should have or maybe did beat in them.
St Pete= Marshall vs FIU. Beat Marshall. Should have beaten FIU
Hawaii= Southern Miss vs. Nevada. Should have beaten So Miss. Or at least been given the opportunity in OT.
Armed Forces= BYU vs. Tulsa. Should have beaten BYU. Probably should have taken Tulsa to OT.
Ticket City= Houston vs. Penn St. At the beginning of the season, UCF was being talked about as being a possible BCS buster. Instead it was Houston. However, with wins in some of these games we lost because of a fumbled punt or not being able to score in the red zone, or stop a late scoring drive, we could have gotten a shot at them in the C-USA title game. We could’ve been Southern Miss.
BBVA Compass= Pitt vs. SMU. OK SMU smacked us around pretty good. But that was the only loss we had all year that happened in. We could really have been 11-1 very easily and gone to Houston for the Championship Game.
So now sit back and watch all these games and wonder what might have been.

I will say it was a nice change for GOL to hire someone other than an old washed up Georgia Tech friend!!! Maybe this is the start of positive changes…
