No way we get the liberty bowl. With our 3 sad losses, no way. It’s frisco or Hawaii for us.

Colorado State puts up a lot of offensive yardage. Looks like it’ll be a basketball-like, high-scoring. affair. Also highly unlikely we honor them in either green or gold uniforms. A plus.

Someday I hope we just stick to "honoring" ourselves. Somebody needs to "honor" us.

Can't remember where I saw it but there were a few projections that had the Frisco Bowl with SMU vs. Colorado/UCLA. That' wouldn't suck.
Back off Warchild seriously.

I'd rather let the kids go to the mighty June Jones Bowl than to be rewarded with Frisco.
They've worked hard and deserve a once and a lifetime trip to Hawaii.

Southwest is starting flights to Hawaii. It’s not so much a once in a lifetime trip anymore. lol

My wish is that the players get at least one of the following:

1. Great location (i.e. Hawaii or maybe Florida); or
2. P5 Opponent

Has it been a great year, no. Has it been a year that the players should be recognized for their overall effort, yes.

I will go wherever they are sent and cheer.

As far as I recall, SMU did that once in its (recent) history yet posters act like it happens multiple times per season. Why is that?

we pretty much honored Hawaiian culture every game under June with our Hawaiian Mojo helmet sticker, appearance by Honolulu recording artist Don Ho and June's ritual game day leis

Yet ironically Rick Pitino excelled at recruiting by offering game day lays.
