Most Non-random Non-Coincidence Ever

[bagice]

Unbelievable! After 25 years since the last bowl game and among the worst teams in the country for most of those years.......and now some fans are complaining about what bowl we may go to after winning four games. Again, Unbelievable. The coaches/players and their families deserve the best they can achieve. So many SMU fans still don't get it. Most fans of teams would be overjoyed to have this oppotunity. Let's see Hawaii or Fort Worth, Hawaii or Houston, Hawaii or Shreveport. Since the team has received so little support except from a few loyal fans, I would not have the fan's wishes at the top of my wish list when picking a bowl. Let them get on board and show the support and that they will travel well and then let's talk about where we as fans would like to go. TEAM FIRST, me second!

I would be happy with any bowl, you are right...all I am saying is that I don't want June "the manipulator" Jones getting in Orsini's ear and keeping us from the Liberty Bowl IF we somehow win the championship...

The Liberty Bowl is the goal for the C-USA..just like the Cotton Bowl was for the SWC....you win the championship, you go play in it....

Oh the "bowl we are going to sucks", "why are we going so far?", "it's too expensive", "it''s too close to Xmas" is coming I promise you.

I'd love to go, too, but I don't think I want to throw down $3-4K for the bowl experience.

$4000? How many people are you intending on taking? RT airfare is around $700.

Someone said they looked at RT airfare and it priced out to around $1,700. That sounded high, but that's what I based it on, plus hotels, meals, etc. So maybe $2-3K. I guess I could use hotel points as well, so maybe $1,500.

Hmm, maybe I can go.....

I went to SMU, dammit! I'm used to getting what I want! (except w/ SMU football)

Jr. I priced it and the $1700 is for a direct flight....with one stop in
LA with only about an hour lay-over the price dropped to $848.

[Pony!Poni!Pone'!]

also for less than a grand you can fly into OGG, then connect to Honolulu. Make it along connection and make the most of your trip

I assume the Mustang Club would also offer a nice package.

[couch 'em]

I'm all for ANY bowl game, ANYWHERE.

I have played in Hawaii, and believe me when I tell you it's overrated. Let's play over here that way everyone that has been loyal fans for so many years can go to the game. Let's win out and have Tulsa beat UH. Liberty here we come.

[SMU21TCU10]

I agree. I want our players to go to Hawaii, not Fort Worth! Think about guys like Emmanual who have been losing for 4 straight years until now! Think about the true Juniors and redshirt sophmores who went 2-22 up until the year! These guys deserve to go to Hawaii this year. I told my parents that if SMU goes to Hawaii dont get my anything for x-mas but a RT ticket!!

Um, then I was talking about for 2 people...

I'm trying to be realistic and wait until we get bowl eligible. However, one small hurdle exists....telling my daughter's mom that on my Christmas visit with my daughter, the two of us will be going to Hawaii.

How to do that without looking selfish? One thing working for me is my daughter went with her mom, stepdad and other siblings to Hawaii last spring break..suggestions? anyone?

Is there any legal reason you have to tell her at all?

[RGV Pony]

probably not. but....

"Hey, so what did you and your dad do?"

"Oh, we went to Hawaii"

[PonyLove]

Sounds like an awesome Christmas present to me!
