So we called the Sun Bowl Comm. I asked the guy that answered about the chances of USF. Told me the Director was just walking in and put him on the phone with me. A guy named Bernie, didn't catch his last name. He said that they are meeting tonight and that it looked good for us (USF). Gave me the line about choosing the top rated (BCS) team. But he also mentioned how Cinci beat us. I told him to remember that we beat Auburn and WV. He said he was here for WV game. There is a toll free number for the Sun Bowl Comm. That is (800) 915- BOWL (2695). Don't know if more calls will help, but I told him we wanted to make reservations asap.They are meeting at 5:00 mountain time so we won't know until later tonight. Nice guy. I'm sure he'll be fielding calls all day and don't know if anyone else can get to him directly. Worth a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could not book any rooms so it sounds like the whole place is reserved for the team. Don't know if Bulls Club/ Alumni get rooms there. We already have reservations in Las Cruces but would rather be with a big group of Bulls Fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they just want to cover all their bases. He was very impressed with the WV game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
