i am now seeing smu vs air force in bowl projections at ford.

i think we are going to beat ecu and/or usm is going to beat tu giving us a shot at the cusa title.
we would then go to either the hawaii or liberty bowl but probably the hawaii.

i am loving some talk about 5-7 ut going to a bowl.

The best thing about a 5-7 UT going bowling is if they end up 5-8.

We go to the Armed Forces Bowl if eligible, as SEC seems to have some veto power over their opponent in the Liberty Bowl and I am guessing they'd shun us.

You forget we shunned the Liberty last year? :shock:

Did we actually do that or did our HC just say he'd rather the team play in the Hawaii Bowl if given the option (not that it would have mattered)?

Acc. to Stewart Mandel of Si.com

After getting some further clarification on the strange Liberty Bowl/SEC/Conference USA arrangement, I reshuffled my C-USA lineup. If UCF wins the conference title game but gets bumped from Memphis, it will have its choice of league-affiliated bowl games, and who would turn down a trip to Hawaii? This also allows Southern Miss to play closer to home in Birmingham.

Note that if Tennessee beats Kentucky this weekend, giving the SEC a 10th bowl-eligible team, this will all be moot.

Staying in Dallas is no reward for earning a bowl berth. It's like telling the team "we're going to Six Flags Over Texas" instead of "we're going to Diamond Head."

Your thinking is most likely right on and understandable from a players viewpoint, but there's a part of me that would love to play at home-----it would be very easy/convenient for me to be there!!!!!!

Yes, but occasionally you need to cater to the people who pay the bills, especially ones you want to sit in the stands every week. To me, nearly any bowl would be better than the Hawaii bowl because I'd actually have a chance to go.

If we do indeed go to the Liberty Bowl, I pray we play UGA.

Sterling Moore could go up against top 5 pick AJ Green.

It would be so awesome to play an SEC team. Hope we can make it and get selected to play in the Liberty Bowl.

Texas cannot go bowling at 5-7.
