Good point. I should have checked that. Got that stat from the FSU Media guide. Sorry.
I'm not trying to rag on you. It might be that we have received more bowl invitations than anyone else during that time, though I think 26 might be on the low end there.
I didn't consider it ragging. I like to be called to task if something is factually wrong. I also welcome opinions that are contrary to mine.
