Playing in the Cure Bowl on 12/17 against N. Illinois. Seems like a slap in the face to put them in one of the lowest tier bowl games against a total nobody opponent.
CCU bowl game

When you finish 3rd on your side of the conference in the Sun Belt, you go to a shit bowl game. That's just the way it is...
Why is that a slap in the face? They finished fourth in the Sunbelt so why would that get them a bigger bowl than Louisiana, App State or Georgia State who all finished ahead of them?
Come on…they are widely regarded as one of the top G5 teams. They would have rolled us this year but we are going to a considerably better bowl.
Coastal ended the season in less than stellar fashion and that is why this bowl game. The players and coaches are happy with it though because last year at this bowl, they couldnt do anything fun due to Covid. This year they have been promised alot of activities so the players are happy about the experience. The game is a bit of a "whatever" since they have so many super seniors. They want to win no doubt but they are excited about being in Orlando and getting to have fun. Its better than where all the experts picked them to be which was at home in Myrtle Beach Bowl. They are happy with this. As for fans, they will have a decent group going. My daughter is going and knows alot of others that are as well so they will have a decent group there.
True. Though 6-2 and 10-2 is pretty good...I would certainly take it for Carolina. They're a good team, and are the type of team that will show well in a bowl (their HC seems to constantly have this effect on his teams). All games matter.
It's not a slap in the face. It's called contractual relationships between their conference and the bowls. If they don't like it, try to get in a better conference.
For a football program that started not long ago, they seem to be doing alright.
It is totally commensurate with who they are, the league they are in, and the season they had.
Sure. But 6-2 and 10-2 in the SEC is a completely different thing. There were 3 teams in the Sunbelt that won 10 or more games and 4 teams that won 6 or more conference games.
There is no bowl game invitation that would be a slap in the face to CCU. they are a lower tier school going to a lower tier bowl. Totally appropriate.
Depends on when they played us. First half of the season you are probably right. They had injuries that hurt them later in the season, including their Qb.
Northern is not a bad football team. They could get another loss.
I would imagine the players would be pretty excited to play in Orlando. Could be worse, could be in Charlotte.
