https://x.com/brett_mcmurphy/status/1865857969004359790?s=46&t=XvldLDXYtXyEkOor8cWhFAHerd gets 11-1 Army (Ranked 18/19/22) in the Independence Bowl on ESPN. Fun game against a nationally ranked opponent!
Probably best to turn this down.
Getting a bowl is more important than winning a bowl. Southern Miss will not be getting a month of practice with their new coach. We will. Nobody cares about who wins a bowl. Even less withe the playoffs. Personally I'd rather see Army run all over Boise if I had my choice, but we'll give it a go.And the best Army can do is make it 1-1. Maybe they get flashback of Randy Moss nutsack gliding over their forehead in a hurdle.
We will not be getting any practice with our new coach either, Gibson isn?t the HC for the bowl game
Duh, but Gibson will be on campus won't he. Evaluation time. Assessment time. Recruiting time. He gets to see his guys in action and determine exactly what he needs. Huff would kill for that.
This might be our best bowl draw ever. Higher ranked opponent than BYU in '99. Bigger name than #16 Louisiana in '21.
One thing is guaranteed. There will be ZERO Army players that are opted out, in the portal, or declared for the draft. They'll be completely in tact. We may very well be a shell. Let's hope a good amount of the guys want to finish this out.
Why!? This isn't the first time Marshall has played in a bowl with an interim head coach, in fact the last time we did this we won. Martial always plays better when their backs are against the wall.
