One caveat: Early reports from Honolulu indicate that Hawaii Bowl officials want June Jones-coached Southern Methodist

That is what you call a DOCUMENTED FACT??? Hmmm...

I have more information that indicates truth to all of this, but in the interest of not compromising our situation, I will not share that information on a public forum. That being said, when something is reported in a newspaper, it is documented. Sometimes, it's not fact, but it is documented. As far as "fact," you can either take my word for it or not, but I am 100% certain that it is fact.

Doesn't need any documentation.

Common sense -- what team fills the stadium and generates the most hype?

I assume a lot of away fans will not travel to Hawaii due to cost and time, but the locals will fill the stadium to see Jones vs. his old team.

Well, you may be keeping state secrets for your buddy on the Hawaii Bowl selection committee, but what you shared with us in support of your "documented fact" is a news quote from an unnamed source, which constitutes rank hearsay requiring blind speculation.

Of course, if your buddy is going to pick SMU, I guess we better get to the business of holding up our end of the deal. If you were a real friend you'd tell him to have backup plan.

They have a backup plan for sure.

this is why the wsu loss was such a killer. very very hard to get to 7 wins with that loss. now in a best case scenario of beating ecu it is virtually impossible to get to 7 without knocking off tcu, navy, houston or tulsa. i don't like our chances in any of those games.

I don't like our chances in any of those games either. But I think you are wrong about UTEP. I also think you are wrong about there being too many 7 win CUSA teams for us to get to a bowl at 6 wins. Check the first page of this thread for my analysis of the CUSA bowl situation.
