Miami would be a good destination, as would St. Petersburg. I would add Memphis, New Orleans and one in Texas. Also, RFK in DC is coming available due to the shift of Military Bowl to Annapolis.

I hear Aresco is in negations for the AAC to get the liberty bowl, Hawaii bowl, ticket city, armed forces bowls. That would be a great addition to this brand new, totally different conference. Stay tuned...

The TicketCity Bowl, now the Heart of Texas, played in the Cotton Bowl would be a great addition.

Future Sheraton Hawaii Bowl pairings could undergo changes as the game negotiates a new contract.

The game's current agreement to match teams from the Mountain West Conference and Conference USA expires with the Dec. 24 game at Aloha Stadium and negotiations are under way on a new agreement, said David Matlin, executive director of the game.

I jumped on the Honolulu Star Website, most of the story is behind a pay wall. On the front page of the Sports section you will see the headline for this story and a picture of JJ directing a SMU practice.

Guessing they might be wanting to try and sign "big time" conferences instead of the "mid-majors" in hopes of having better attendance. On TV in December the stadium looked similar to Ford during a Thanksgiving home game against Tulsa. The "announced" attendance this past year of 30,024 was the smallest since 2005...........but on TV, it looked more like 8-10K.
