There's a completely plausible scenario

Except it's the only bowl on Xmas eve. Good TV slot. Good as revenue for espn. And we all know who makes these decisions

You guys did read June Jones' quote in Hawaii paper a few pages back that he hears we are going to Hawaii regardless of Hawaii outcome as long as Houston wins. Nobody I guess wants to start a firestorm by creating a separate thread

No, haven't seen that. I'm good with Hawaii, as I have said before. Actually, any of the 3 we are in contention for has their pluses and minuses.

I think he just said the wrong team. I heard from a player that it's between TCB or Hawaii. Hawaii only if Houston loses.

June thinks we are going to Hawaii as long as Houston wins regardless of Hawaii-Sports Illustrated also changed prediction to SMU v Nevada today. That's why I got concerned with the airfare going up astronomically

A rematch against Nevada from just two years ago? Could it get more boring than that? Weak sauce.

there could be an extra Big 10 team out there that could possibly end up in Hawaii Bowl-like Illinois or Northwestern. I doubt Hawaii Bowl wants a rematch either
