This is my main thought. Eventually it's going to be our turn for Hawaii or Bahamas. This is a perfect year to get that out of the way and it's a great opportunity for the players. It relieves our fans the burden of trying to put together a crowd for a regional bowl. We don't have to risk losing to a belt team. It's a game that anyone that wants to will be able to watch but it's not prime time where we have the potential to be embarrassed in front of a huge audience.
All things considered, I think this is about the best we could have hoped for.
I agree 100%! And IMHO, it shows the ADM is listening to our boos, displeasure of this season per our offensive offense and wanting changes period. At least this is my hope.
