Could Wake go to a Bowl with a 5-7 record?

Does anyone know that as a 'fill-in' whether we are still tied to the ACC bowl tie-ins or can we 'fill in' wherever there are openings?
 
also, "humangrobopede" tagger, out yourself for posrep.
 
Why on earth would we go? 5-7 teams going--they need fewer bowls.
 
who do we need to root for/against to make this happen?

More money, more practice. Why wouldn't we go. I would laugh and certainly wouldn't attend, but we'd be fools to decline if invited. It's the least we can do for the ACC as a whole (more bowl revenue) considering how bad we've embarrassed the conference otherwise the last few years.
 
Maybe Grobe and Lobo will watch and learn what a real offense looks like.

We would lose money on a trip to the Weedwhacker or whatever it is called now. Extra practice this time of year is way overrated, as the guys have been doing reps since August. Better to heal up some injuries, shore up the academics, and hit the weight room and track in preparation for spring ball.

If this were to happen, the only mention WF will get during bowl season is as exhibit A for how there are too many bowls.

If we did make a bowl at 5-7, Grobe should embrace all that hate and show up for the bowl game in the most wildly-flamboyant outfit he can find. Gold sequins. A bedazzled top hat. Knee-high boots. Preen all over the sidelines, blowing kisses into the camera. Basically, the Jim Grobe equivalent of this:

ucla last year already beat us to the losing record making a postseason bowl feat. sigh
 
Yeah but how many squads have finished with back to back losing seasons and two bowl appearances.
 
This + CBI in hoops and our destiny will be complete.
 
Listening to Steve Logan a couple of days ago, he said that Frank Beamer would not practice his Seniors for small bowl games - just Frosh thru Juniors. Treated it like an early spring practice. Played the bowl game as an afterthought.
 
Our last three losses have a combined score of 20-117.
 
I'm picturing the all inclusive $2500 per person package deal to Shreveport Wellman is cooking up.
 
Don't understand why people hate going to bowl games so much.
