Posted: Mon Nov 30, 2009 8:48 amDoes Hawaii's extra game count against them for bowl purposes? Is a 6-7 Hawaii bowl eligable? No, right?
Re: Hawaii beats Navy
Posted: Mon Nov 30, 2009 9:54 amI think you're right. The way I understand it is that Hawaii has to beat Wisconsin to become bowl eligible. If they do beat Wisconsin, I think we would face them in the Hawaii bowl.

Posted: Mon Nov 30, 2009 10:11 amWho do we want to face? I think we would match up against Hawaii better than we would Nevada.
But the whole stadium will obviously be for UH, whereas most would prolly root for SMU against Nevada.
I assume the PR is going to better if we face UH?
Thoughts and or knowledge?

Posted: Mon Nov 30, 2009 10:23 amI will say this, if Hawaii doesn't get bowl eligible, the first year they do, assuming we are eligible, we will be right back there. For that reason alone, I want Hawaii to win so we don't have to go back.

Posted: Mon Nov 30, 2009 10:23 amI would like to see Hawaii beat Wisconsin just b/c of the good PR and i think we would match up against them better than Nevada or Notre Dame. Although it would be sweet to see us take on the golden domes

Posted: Mon Nov 30, 2009 6:53 pmJones has talked about scheduling Hawaii and you do get an "extra" game by making the trip to Hawaii. I would look to 2012 when it appears we already have 7 home games scheduled...unless the list posted on this site is not accurate. Only problem with trying to schedule a 13th game and trip to Hawaii that year is that I assume we will be making plans to play in the CUSA Championship game that year.

Posted: Mon Nov 30, 2009 10:02 pmIt would be a great bowl story to see June and the Mustangs against Hawaii. It's going to be so awesome to see SMU in a nationally televised bowl this year, regardless. But, how neat would it be to play in a full stadium, against June's old team, on Christmas Eve? I mean, SMU-Hawaii would be a MUCH more intriguing game than us against Nevada, and I think it's more winnable from our standpoint.
