Another thought, not getting ahead, but when we win Conference USA, are we going to the Boca Raton Bowl?

I don't think anyone involved wants us to be in the Boca Raton Bowl. They want out-of-towners to come in and spend money on hotels and restaurants, etc. It's about generating tourism dollars.
FAU wants to play elsewhere so they get exposure being in a bowl, and then the school gets exposure hosting a bowl game at the stadium. We get double exposure by playing elsewhere.
It doesn't mean it will never happen, but it is not ideal for a lot of reasons.

Doesn't the champion rotate bowls now? I remember it used to be the Liberty bowl against a low end SEC team but Marshall was in the Boca Bowl when they won a few years back. WKU was in the Miami Beach Bowl last yr

That was a great game! I am an OWL living up in Wake Forest, NC, so that was an easy game to attend! I have to say, ODU fans are nice people. I will be supporting the OWLS every week, but you can count on me to be at the Marshall the MTSU games. GO OWLS!
