The actual attendance for the last two Rice bowl games (58,880 for the 2008 Texas Bowl versus Western Michigan and 40,754 for the 2012 Armed Forces Bowl against Air Force) does not support your poorly researched and highly offensive comment.
Be offended then look at a map.
Houston Bowl across town. Armed Forces a four hour drive.
Boca Raton 16 hour drive.
And what about that third recent bowl game???
You expect to take a big number to Boca you live in that fantasy land that only a fan can live in.

I don't know about you but I'd rather play Army or BYU in a bowl regardless of record than almost any G5 school.

I don't think a decade or two ago that anyone would have thought that Dubai could host the best golf and horse races in the world either. If they put their mind to something, they have the money to do it right.
I think can all agree that a lack of beer and pork would seriously hamper the tailgating.

BYU--sure. A 6-6 Army for my conference champ--no way. I'm fairly confident that I won't have any problem selling that position to the conference fan base. Army would be much better off playing another 6-6 G-5 also ran.

BYU--sure. A 6-6 Army for my conference champ--not so much. I'm fairly confident that I won't have any problem selling that position to the conference fan base.
We've already played Army recently. Nothing against them but I'd rather play just about anybody with a winning record instead of a 6-6 Army.
