Any thoughts about when, where and if?

I am still in the "if" category.

Thumbs down on a bowl game - close the season out now. What's the point of playing a tenth tier bowl game in Buttcrack, Idaho and getting steam rolled by some four year community college's intramural squad?

It's hard to believe that our Tropical Smoothie Bowl in Frisco against Charlotte or UTSA is only 12 days away.

I live in Austin, but I always heard that Frisco is more beautiful than Austin. With Frisco being up north, I assume that it will be a winter wonderland?

Does anyone have any recommendations for fun things to do in Frisco before Christmas? What a dream.

I figured a local bowl would pick SMU v TCU to keep travel down

Abject humiliation for money - sign me up.

If the odds were right, I would put money on this. It might be why we havent taken up on their offer to reschedule the game. TV folks would love having a rivalry game for a bowl spot and the way we are playing, it should be a decisive win for the toads.

We would have been ever so glad to take them up on their offer to reschedule after they ducked us earlier in the year. Our only available date was blocked by the UH reschedule. I mean if you're going to throw your own team under the bus, at least have some facts.

I never let facts dissuade me from a good bus throwing. Most of the time it's myself getting bussed though.

Give me SMU vs TCU anywhere

I'd like to see Kansas State. New opponent, middle of the pack.

I'm not confident more bowls won't still be canceled. Hope not.

Plus it would be a dream matchup for all of the K-State Phil Bennett fans who supported him while he was here.
