That’s settled then. The committee will definitely avoid putting us in Tampa because @Chin Diesel has a conflict.

Who cares, its all about white birch beer in CT. Foxon Park. Need Pizza Bowl. In the Yale Bowl. We'll whip any pizza state team, NY, NJ, etc.

OTOH, Gasparilla Fest is a blast and if anyone gets a chance to attend it, it's well worth the time and damage to your liver.

I’m flying to the game next weekend, then hoping for that bowl specifically so I can return to FL. CTB and pirates get along.

No, the location! It says TBD. The game is next month. I assume they got this.

It's been played at the soccer stadium in Frisco. Toyota Stadium.
EDIT: I'm now seeing updated info it's being played at The Star this year due to renovations at Toyota.

College football Week 13 bowl projections: FBS newcomers (and UNC) still have postseason paths
Multiple things need to break right, but UNC could potentially earn a postseason bid.

Yeah, but Dec 17th is early in the bowl season and the payout is low.

Playing a name opponent having a down year would be a lot of fun. Having said that, the only bowl that matters right now is our game at FAU Saturday. There will be 2 weeks to worry about where, when and against whom our bowl is after we get through Saturday.

Yeah, what exactly is The Star? It was hard to tell from a quick look at their website. Is it where the Cowboys have training camp?

Yes. 12k seats. Basically a 1985 WWF taping in front of 100 people.
I looked it up. The Frisco Bowl otherwise is played at Toyota Stadium, home of FC Dallas, which only had 12,000 seats in 2024 and is being renovated to 22,500 seats.
I would like to avoid any of those three, losing to a G5 even an excellent one like these would be of no benefit to us as opposed to losing to a P4 team say in a close game. And, I can think of many P4 teams that I think we stand a better chance to beat than one of these three.
