FYI: New bowl game in St. Pete
Next, according to the sptimes.com there is a new bowl game awaiting approval for St. Pete. The bowl game will match the Big East vs. CUSA and will be played at Tropicana Field (indoors-yuck). I like this idea because if UCF doesn't win the conference, it's possible we could have a nice local bowl that our fans can travel to easilly.
Just thought it'd be interesting to pass along that FL is getting another bowl game.

Our SunBelt Commsioner needs to get off his duff and secure a second bowl for his confrence. Its INCONCIEVABLE that CUSA gets ANOTHER bowl tie in.
I agree that it would be a GREAT bowl for UCF to get into. Homefield advantage almost. Not to mention you could have a USF vs UCF in it. But seriously the Belt needs some love, is it no wonder that EVERYONE wants out of it? It never gets ANY attention even with nice wins in football and 2 teams in the dance.

I have come here to chew bubble gum and kick @$$ and I'm out of bubble gum.

CUSA vs BE? They already have this – it's called the PapaJohns.com bowl.
What positions within the CUSA/BE conferences would qualify for the new bowl game?
CUSA already has six bowl affiliations:
Liberty Bowl – CUSA vs SEC
PapaJohns.com Bowl – CUSA vs BE
GMAC Bowl - CUSA vs MAC
New Orleans Bowl – CUSA vs SBC
Hawai'i Bowl – CUSA vs WAC
…and Armed Forces Bowl on alternating years with the Pac-10

I do believe the Armed Forces Bowl will be a CUSA bowl every other year in D.C.

Give us the GMAC or the Papajohns!
Exactly. CUSA doesn't really need another BE tie-in because they already have one.
I think if Troy, MTSU and FAU continue to be strong… and WKU makes a big splash… I think there will be more serious consideration about an SBC/BE bowl.
Top SBC team vs bottom BE team even… how do you think that would that have matched up this year?
