Would have been nice to have the Owls playing in a bowl game in front of the home crowd, but onto how things shook out.
MEMPHIS TO TAKE ON WESTERN KENTUCKY IN THE 2016 BOCA RATON BOWL – Boca Raton Bowl
Anyone attending? Last years game was a great match up that was affected by the rain.

The Owls probably won't ever be attending the Boca Raton Bowl by design. The Boca Bowl game (and most Bowl Games) are about generating tourism dollars. They want people coming to town and buying hotel rooms and going to restaurants and spending lots of money. The Owls don't bring that to the party.
I will be attending, I go every year just to have fun. It's nice to go and not really care who wins.

The potential of a great match-up of two exciting teams with excellent records! Getting great reviews on ALL bowl match-up sites/articles again, just like the first 2 years!

CBS ranks it #18 out of 40
Washington Post is #10
Yahoo has it #9
I just thought it was interesting to be ranked as a Top 10 bowl game considering the conferences involved and the payout ($400,000).
Most of the descriptions talk about it as an offensive showdown. So it's the matchup, not the location and facilities, getting it that ranking.

Bahamas pays $450k.
And the Miami Beach Bowl pays a cool $1M.
Wow.
