This will be our 30th bowl game.

It took 70 years to get to the first 10 bowls.
It then took us 41 years to get to the next 10.
It then took us 10 years to get to the last 10.

(Yes I know this is skewed by there being a LOT more bowls nowadays.)

Eh. Depending on how our last two games go, our worst record heading into a bowl over the last ten years may still be 2014's 7-5 campaign (when we subsequently destroyed Maryland by a bunch in the Foster Farms Bowl). Since 2009, we have almost always qualified for bowls rather easily, with multiple games to spare. The skew toward there being a lot more bowls nowadays would be a stronger point if we were scraping into bowls over the last decade. Almost always, we simply haven't.
