Selfishly I do not want Hawaii mainly because I have 7 grandchildren that would not be real happy with me. However, I did mention to Mrsmrydel that she had never shopped there and her eyebrows actually raised.

My point is that it will not be a greater recruiting factor. Just getting to a bowl is a plus for recruiting along with the extra practice. Hawaii would be a treat for the current plalyers, but as the froggie said that can also be done in Dallas, and my hope is that they get to enjoy Memphis to the fullest.

From what i've heard, there is an almost 0 chance of Hawaii, Tulsa is much more likely for the Hawaii bowl, so don't worry guys

Blah blah blah recruiting. Nobody thinks a sold out out Ford with SMU playing and winning and 100+ recruits at the game is going to help recruiting?
At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Confirm to Mrs. Myrdel that unparalleled shopping opportunities abound. Basically the entire Waikiki strip are shopping centers with Hotels on top of them. Rodeo Drive in Paradise. So you probably shouldn't go

If I add that the prices are all time highs for anywhere in the world, she would be on her way to the airport before I could get in the car.

I know Ben Gottschalk was quoted as saying one of the things the first attracted him to SMU was when he saw us in the Hawaii Bowl.

If I recall, and I could be wrong, but his primary reason for watching us in Hawaii was because he was leaning towards committing to Nevada. If we had played Nevada (with the same results) in the Pimple Popping Bowl in Muskogee, Oklahoma he would have been watching us there. It was our performance that swayed him, not the Islands.

That's good, but it doesn't mean that it was the fact that we were IN Hawaii that attracted him...he just saw us play.

I will ask again, if Hawaii is a recruiting magnet, then why doesn't Hawaii have the #1 recruiting class each year, and why is the WAC not the #1 Conference?

He stated that in his quote. The exposure definitely helped us. But wherever we go I'm just glad we get 2 bowl games in a row because it will help us in the 2012 recruiting class.

I am hoping for Liberty or Ford.

Tulsa in Hawaii vs the Rainbows. That would be a good game.

The only good thing about the Hawaii Bowl is it's the only game on for about 24 hours on ESPN.
If you win, you are on SportsCenter all day long.

We do not just have 2 Bowl games in a row. We have a Championship game thrown in also. This is a very big time for a growing program.

48 hours actually (played on Christmas Eve, next game day after Christmas in prime time).

Beating Georgia in the Liberty Bowl would help recruiting more than any other scenario by far.
