Bowl Game Interest?

I would go to Albuquerque or El Paso without a second thought. Of course their both an easy drive for me from Phoenix. If the game is in Boston or New York I'm donating two tickets.
 
just entered for 2
Go UConn
 
Can someone forward me the link? I didn’t attend UConn and haven’t been to a game in almost 10 years. I’m in a good financial position now, would love to donate tickets to any student willing to go. I’ll be out of the country all December.
 
looks like the link is going nowhere now when I try to show interest in purchasing.

Athletic Department email

I just received an email from the athletic department gauging interest in attending a bowl game (see link).

If anyone who is not a season ticket holder (would not have received the email) is interested, please let the athletic department know.

It sounds like a) we will need to lobby available bowls for an invitation and b) guarantee a set number of tickets sold.

This is merely a guess on my part but there is a chance that the school won't lobby very hard if they don't believe we will attend the event. If you want us to go to a bowl and have the available resources (time & money) please support the program.Don't want to get ahead of ourselves

Don't want to get ahead of ourselves, but talking about a bowl game is, more or less, surreal!
Hats off to the players, staff, coaches (especially Mora) and the whole community. A lot of people were whispering doom and gloom before the season, but so far it has been a pleasant surprise! Whatever happens in the next two games, we are getting a little proud again. At this point, what the hell - let's get at least one more win and make things interesting!
 
I don't think the person who writes for Athlon Sports liked the way we looked against UMass this past weekend... don't think he/she believes we can beat either Liberty or Army to get a bowl opportunity (nice bulletin board material for us):

Army looked really bad for the 1 quarter I watched on saturday. REALLY bad
 
We went 8-3 as an Independent before joining the Big East and didn't get a bid. Has something changed?

Everything has changed. Back then every bowl had a contract with a conference. There were also fewer bowls, so it was very rare that a conference didn't fill its allotment. No conference no bowl.

Now, there are 84 bowl slots and usually teams at 5-7 are considered (using APR as the priority). Minor bowls are mostly owned by ESPN these days and most of those have at-large slots. Geography/TV/Travel are priorities.

For example, if Fenway has an open slot, it's likely ours.

One of my scariest thoughts is that ESPN is the owner of majority of the ones we would likely get slated into. And I cant imagine our relationship with them is very good after moving to the Big East/getting a contract for football with CBSSN. Even Umass was able to get a TV deal with ESPN+.

Any P5 is getting in over us, but we get in over almost any G5 with a few exceptions. All 7-5 teams need to be slotted first. Being 6-6 may limit the available slots. At that point, other factors can come into play.

Cripes! I made the following prediction on September 19:

Maybe a miracle happens and we beat Liberty or BC, making us 6-6 and playing in the Cure Bowl against ECU.

Pretty close! Now all I need are my annual undefeated season and National Championship predictions to come true!
