Yeah being the best in the state of Illinois is about as noteworthy as being 1st in the Big 10 west division.

Hey, at least it's something right?

Which would make 1 less ACC team pick up a normal bowl, right? Which would then allow for a MAC team to possibly take the place of an ACC team for that bowl in Detroit.

Granted, it's more appealing to WMU, CMU, Toledo, and BGSU since they're all pretty close. But it's a day After Christmas, and just a drive away. No super-long-drive or flight costs.

I'd only want to nix the Detroit option, and for WMU to go to the Bahamas (or anywhere else down south) if I were to be taking a 5-7 day vacation with that embedded in it. Otherwise, I'd love to have fans in the seats.

Now, if NIU improves and would be playing Marshall down south? Yeah. I think everyone would want that.

Yes I would attend the Detroit bowl if NIU was in it BUT that bowl is not going to pick NIU if Toledo, Ball St, CMU, WMU or BGSU are available also.

This sounds like a guy that may have spent some time in a beachfront bar the last time he was in Miami... and liked it.

When Temple beats ECU today, I will get mad all over about the CMU loss. Huskies could've been at the top of the Access Bowl race.

I think Temple's going to lose. It's been all ECU turnovers. ECU had 230+ yards first half, Temple had 52.

Boca Bowl would be nice. Their stadium is only 2 years old. Great weather, great for recruiting, and cheap airfare, although X-mas time may raise those fares. I know some of these pluses have been mentioned but I think the whole package is exciting.

If only it could happen again...At this point I'll take the over priced bar at the Ren. Center in Detroit. If we make it I'll buy ya a beer.

If the Huskies do not step up their game a bit, they will be lucky to be invited to any bowl. According to Massey's, they have three losses coming their way. A seven win season means you take what you can get with a bowl game. But they are predicted to be close losses, so the Huskies need to find a way to score an extra TD or give up one less per game.
