Okay wordsmith. I said it could be not would be. No chance of snow in Miami. We woke up to snow on our car after a game in Dallas a few years ago in Nov.

Snow would be even better. It just hit me our last visit to Dallas was a miserable cold, wet evening a couple of years ago ... which is still preferable to Miami.

I had a great time at B'ham. Yes, the stadium is old but it wasn't bad. 

Of course, winning and lots of beer was involved!

Here is the AAC Bowl lineup for 2017-2018:

– AutoNation Cure Bowl vs. Sun Belt
– Boca Raton vs. Conference USA
– Birmingham Bowl vs. SEC
– Hawaii Bowl vs. Mountain West
– Frisco Bowl vs. Sun Belt
– Military Bowl vs. ACC
– St. Petersburg Bowl vs. Conference USA

This is depressing.  G5 treated like second class league, mon.  P5 is downpressah Babylon wicked-mon.

All but a handful of bowls are probably revenue negative for the hosts. Kudos to Miami Beach for cutting their losses.

Terrible kickoff time during day on Monday. I was working and didn't get to watch or go. Frisco will do better if they have a better kickoff spot

I ended up making it but what a horrible time slot. Just awful.

Wasn't the Bham bowl just as bad a time slot? Thursday in early afternoon.

Yeah but it could just as easily be in the 80s in December in Dallas. It's really warm/ mild in Texas most of the winter. Every month of the year including January has 75-80 degree temps. Wild temp swings yes. 

For example this past December Dallas had 2 80 degree days with a high of 83 on December 28th 6 more days in 70s and many in the 60s. That's pretty typical.

lt would be similar to Pensacola or southern Georgia. More winter heat than anywhere in US outside of South Texas, the desert Southwest, and Florida. 

Here in San Antonio I've gone an entire winter without one freeze. Not one. It's snowed once in the 13 years I've lived here with maybe 2 or 3 sleet events total. Most years nothing. Heck our average in January was 70 degrees for the entire month this year. Some winters in South TX are warmer than Tampa.

Thursday is better than Monday. Plus the MBB had kickoff before Christmas. At least Bham was closer to NYE.

Miami eats it. Most overrated city in America and that's the opinion of someone who lived in S. Florida for 20+ years.
