St. Pete against USF would be a fun one. Would USF even want to play that game though?Posted On: Nov 10th 2017, 1:42 AM #372958
From a prestige standpoint, no. It'd probably be like us playing in the New Orleans Bowl.
From a ticket standpoint, probably. Just because the university makes money off of reselling tickets to their fans that they purchased from the bowl sponsors so the biggest crowd would theoretically be a home crowd.
Whether the city wants it - much like Boca with the Boca Raton Bowl - is another matter.

1) Vs. a Top Group of 5 team with a nationally recognized Coach.
2) NO travel expenses (profit) PLUS with all band and cheer HERE!!!! (NEVER happen for n away game).
3) Get the 2 weeks practice AT HOME as well!!!!
4) Home crowd! We worried about the Um affect but it was not that bad right? USF would NOT be as strong as UM's following!
Unless we get Independence or Belk invite, I vote BOCA!!!!!!

Well the city and business owners would prefer tourists. Also, us not playing in the Boca Bowl gives us two shots at publicity.

How many fans did Temple bring when they played? Or WKU? I sure don’t think they travel as well as a whole crew from Tampa. I could argue that our hotels would see a lift for at least one night

I don’t know if you guys remember the 07 matchup against the bulls but they brought a TON of fans, 10k in my estimation.

If I remember they were #2 in the country, big difference than a mid to lower tier bowl game against a CUSA team.
They have a terrible fan base, I have watched a few of their home games this year.
GO OWLS!

But, for totally hypothetical reasons, if we had the choice of playing USF or FSU which would you guys choose? Easy answer if it is FSU in an Independence or Belk Bowl because of the financials, but I am saying if it was the same bowl would you want to play a 6-6 FSU or a 9-2 USF?
