They have us in the Armed Forces Bowl against Wyoming. I don't think we make it to bowl-eligibility this year anyway, but wouldn't it suck to have our first bowl game in 20+ years at Amon Carter?

Actually, it might be better since we would have people come to the game.

The game could be at Forrester Field for all I care. A bowl is a bowl at this point.

It would actually be really convenient for me. Less than 5 minute travel time. Bottom line: a bowl is a bowl at this point.

What would suck more than playing at Amon Carter is having to look at Wyoming's God-awful uniforms.

Perfect. Another chance to mess with their field. Ideas?

forget the field, mess up their new club level seating. How much did they waste on that? was it 13 Million?

Is anyone else worried that something like this would happen while we would be in that dump of a stadium?

So I see they predict us to be 6th (at the worst) in CUSA with ECU, Tulsa, Southern Miss, Houston, and Central Florida also going bowling.

Might be a more interesting matchup against Texas A&M in the Houston bowl if we can swap positions with Southern Miss.

Whenever we do make our first bowl, I'd love to see us play an old SWC rival...other than Tech.

Well, the rubble section doesn't appear too crowded.
