Football MIAMI BEACH BOWL

[Cow Pie]

Never really heard of the school picking the bowl and neither one is really "good for the program" other than it is a bowl for the first time in 5 years ....... but if we did have any input, I thought I read somewhere that CWT would like the team to travel and with a lot of kids from that area, it's almost the ideal location.

I know we picked this game... a close friend of mine works in Advancement and he tweeted me that the St. Pete Bowl, Miami Beach, and Orlando Cure Bowl were all heavily engaged in getting USF to commit. He kept telling me on Sunday that it would be the Miami bowl because Athletics Admin had made its mind up that this was the place to go.

I guess it boils down to recruiting over tickets sold and TV viewership. My questions have been answered.

Most likely this is impossible, but is there any chance that this 2:30 time gets changed to a later time slot?

This is exactly what I am hearing too.  It was basically the one we wanted.

A professor in my department is WVU grad and according to him they were pulling to play us in a bowl game. He says their Florida alum are pushing to get Florida games back on their schedule, and usf is at the top of that list. Cited familiarity and having a local alumni base.

If that's the case, it was a smart choice. Right now recruiting is more than the minor difference than the St Pete Bowl attendance difference and the equally minor difference in the TV viewership between the two games.

So, what does your close friend say about the ocs done deal at the MOSI site?

You actually make a good point... How unusual.

What's unusual is you actually recognizing a good point ....
