AAC bowl tie-ins

I'd rather be on this burning ship than the last...

Of course, we are getting so many millions more dollars than before.

6-6, Hawaii. Embrace it.

Over a 0-12, 1-11, and another 1-11 caused by the coaching change to JJ in just 6 years.....any
day

It's satire on settling for mediocrity, not going for anything better

I went for being mediocre in a 26.2 marathon, and finished in just over 4 hours.

Left CUSA for CAAC

Well hopefully we get Beef O Bodden since we haven't been to that one before but the more things change the more they stay the same.

I have to wonder if we couldn't save a ton of money by not going to one of the 'nothing' bowls.. Besides our DIR recruits don't have any other major offers so it couldn't be very important to them.

The American Athletic Conference has extended its agreements with the Beef ‘O’ Brady’s Bowl St. Petersburg in Florida and the BBVA Compass Bowl in Birmingham, Ala., for six years, starting in 2014.

The American also agreed to a deal to send teams to the Armed Forces Bowl in Fort Worth, Texas, and the Sheraton Hawaii Bowl in Honolulu in alternating years for six years, starting in 2014.

The AAC will face a Southeastern Conference team in Birmingham. The St. Petersburg bowl has a deal to send a Big 12 team to the game three times in six years and a Conference USA team the other seasons.

The American is also close to announcing new bowls at Marlins Park in Miami, Boca Raton, Fla., and the Bahamas.

Sorry but it's hard to get excited about sharing a couple of very minor bowl games with cusa. We changed conferences to up the quality of competition and now we are cusa2.

OMG just merge with freaking CUSA if theyre going to pick up those garbage bowls... if we get hawaii again Im not going to bother watching.

If there is a way, JJ will get SMU to the Hawaii Bowl

[redpony]

I will really be surprised if we get to a bowl this year.

[Rebel10]

I will really be surprised if we get to a bowl this year.

The Hawaii Bowl is not coming to the AAC until next year.

Yeah but you know June, if we get bowl-eligible he's going to fight like hell to get us in that game. After all it's our Super Bowl.

[redpony]

if jj is here next yr we have a lot more problems than a crappy bowl in the islands.

[that's great raplh]

Staying in cusa would have been much better. Lets builds time machine and go back to fix this...

Yeah aac ain't what we wanted. But it is better than the alternative.

Wow i mean i guess he had to BS this statement, "“These bowls allow us to play outstanding teams and they will also annually reward our student-athletes and coaches with memorable postseason experiences. Our fans will enjoy these great destinations and a national television audience will enjoy watching these compelling bowl games.” Lulz... only person who likes this is JJ and the players and teams who embrace mediocrity.
