Doesn't Hawaii Bowl get first pick in CUSA, so conceivably the champion would go there?

No, it is the Liberty Bowl unless we opt out like USM did last year (which made some USM fans upset).

Because, unless we play in a major bowl, that's where everyone wants to go me included (face it, it's a great reward for the players, coaches, staff, and a great place to go for the fans who can make it -- extended vacation). I agree with this UNLESS we can play in a major bowl. I was born and raised in Memphis but, quite frankly, if I were to choose between the Hawaii Bowl and the Liberty Bowl I take the Hawaii Bowl every day and twice on Sunday.

If talk of Hawaii fires up players enough to win games, I'm good with it. Tell them the goal is to play a bowl game on Mars if it helps conjure up 72 points.

Vacation, vacation, vacation

I would imagine the team would prefer that trip to almost any other possibility available to our conference members

They didn't opt out. The Liberty Bowl chose to go with the Big East instead last year. USM wanted to go to there.
