HOD Bowl

[Russdawg]

I can live with this.

Guys, isn't it awesome to even be having this discussion after last season? Sure, yesterday hurt, but still.. It's great to be discussing bowl possibilities. I voted 5-7 as our record in the poll to start the season, so I'm stoked to even be talking about this now.

Awesome indeed to be talking about this in December!!

The show at 11.30 is just for the 4 playoff teams to be announced. It will take a few hours after that for the rest of the bowls to trickle down. I heard today MU players, coaches and admins are planning to meet after the selection show to go over options and decide... I would guess we will know something by midafternoon.

According to the guys on TV, bowls and semis will be announced. The show is 1.5 hours long.

The latest from Huntington...

For those who do not want to read the whole 1,000 word story. It basically boils down to this... The Bitcoin Bowl (Formerly the St. Petersburg Bowl) is trying to swing a deal to get MU and an SEC opponent (Florida) by making some deals with ESPN and the ACC. Backup plan for Marshall is Dallas against either Illinois, Rutgers or Iowa.

I had not previously heard the Bitcoin Bowl mentioned, so I will believe it when I see it, but its in the Herald Dispatch so it must be true, lol.

There have been wheeling and dealing going all night between a lot of conferences. Hopefully something nice works out for both teams.

I don't believe the IBowl would want to trade because they should end up with a team local enough to draw fans.

I've read that it might be Miami and Texas A&M. That's a good draw.

Sounds good but Miami doesn't travel well at all.

Florida/Miami would be better

Florida/Miami would be better

If any bowl has seen Miami's stands this season, they wouldn't want them.

Just got a text from someone closer to the team than I am... He says Marshall will be playing Northern Illinois. Either Boca or St. Petersburg.

Looks like you guys are going to Dallas to play Illinois or Rutgers.

We all know Texas A&M and LA Tech would be a huge draw in Shreveport!!!!!!!!!

Then this will make your fourth MAC game.

What is scary is that HOD and Hawaii would seem to be CUSA best bowls for a trade (Big 10 opponent and destination with good TV slot). Let's hope that if a trade is in the works CUSA makes sure Tech ends up in Dallas or Ft Worth.
