    I think we're better than the "typical" 7-5 team...

    If everyone not leaving plays, then we should do okay... We need this last win, I hope the coaching staff gets them fired up for this bowl game.

    Go Gators!

    I was expecting that we'd play Duke in the Gator Bowl.

    Yes but if you look at the SEC standings and the bowl tie ins we get pushed down the list.

    This. Tulane could easily beat us, although I doubt that would happen...

    MEH.

    It's where we should be playing geographically. Don't be spewing over-confidence; Tulane will be jacked for the game. I'll go to the game. New Orleans folks like to have fun.

    Where did the Liberty Bowl nonsense come from? Now I know why the thread was locked.

    Army rushed for 335yds yesterday, they obviously know what a mid-line is :D, and only attempted 2 passes completing both for 17yds in beating Tulane 35-14 yesterday.

    Tulane HC Jon Sumrall is reported to be in the mix for the UNC & WVU jobs, he’s a well thought of young coach. So it’s possible he might not be there for this game.

    Tulane lost their last 2 games, did they lose an important player or two?

    I’m down. We want an 8-win season. Not taking anybody for granted, but I think we stand a better chance of winning this than Michigan or certainly Ga Tech.
    Go Gators. Let’s everybody suit up and go win this for each other

    I suspect it was more about quality of the competition

    I'm delighted to play someone we haven't played in recent years. Just hoping that the players are all in. If so, it should be fun.
