As to the Birmingham Bowl. in general I'd prefer us to get out of town, go somewhere nice, and reward the players with a true bowl trip. I'd prefer that it not be in the Bahamas or New Mexico, because that means that probably 80% or better of the fans who might have traveled won't be going.

That said, this year of all years, I'd be alright with playing a bowl at Legion and outright packing the place with UAB fans. It's a special year and that would be memorable. It also might have an effect on a bowl selection committee next year.

I still prefer New Orleans or hell, even Shreveport. Cajun food, Zydeco music, casino close by, and easily driveable. Party time!

Shreveport would be great not only because of the short distance but the bowl date & possible opponents.
