Bowl Rumors

Gasparilla against Wake isn't a bad place to land.

 

[EdgewoodNHV]

East Coast please

 

[UCONNRPh]

I’m selfishly rooting for any Bowl that’s not played on Dec 19th. I have a meeting that day in Salt Lake City!

I hope not on Monday either

 

[huskyblooz]

Before Christmas, I can't go and will donate two. After Christmas, the whole family is going.

 

[Hoophound]

I don’t want to be drubbed by Wake. We need our full roster to compete with them.

I trust cbs more and they have is the Quick Lane bowl vs Eastern Michigan

That line of thinking would have cost the Huskies if they believed it going into the Liberty or Fresno games.

Exactly. Go out and compete.

Yeah, but Wake is more like Cuse and NC St of the early season. Tough matchup for us. I’d love to see us beat them, just feel undermanned for that game. Of course, it would provide the opportunity for another big win. I can’t say I’d rather play Eastern Michigan, so whatever I guess.

Who could be back for bowl? Wideouts? A rb?

Me, I’m indifferent to where we go. I am just so happy for the kids to be able to go bowling. Plus, the extra practice time is just invaluable. And think about the staff who on the recruiting trail went from trust us to see, now imagine what we can do going forward.

If I were AD David Benedict, I’d aim for site where u get a combo of high payout and decent chance for fans to get there.

It certainly sounds like DB has been doing some jockeying for a favorable bowl. Hopefully Mora can still throw around some of his ESPN weight and maybe convince them to do some trades to get us in the Fenway bowl.

 

[Bonamassa]

Please not the Fenway Bowl. No need to freeze in a baseball stadium with lousy seating/site lines. Demand more!

A good attendance number, at this point in our program, is much more important. Bring on the Fenway!

God no option offense to defend. Hell no please.

 

[freescooter]

I’m in the any bowl is a good bowl camp but Hawaii is not going to draw many UConn fans. And Christmas Eve is a tough date to even get a great tv crowd. Plus the blasted option thing! On the other hand the guys might have some fun in Hawaii!

 

[BugsyCT]

I’m almost hoping for Detroit or if Fenway is an option. Decent payout and a better chance of more UConn fans attending.

My advice is to take the invitation with the highest payout. UConn Football needs the money to compete and retain staff.

 

[ThabeetDown]

So far I’ve seen:
Cure x5
Gasparilla x1
Quick Lane x1
Camellia x1
Hawaii x1

 

[Stinger92860]

No matter where we go I believe we receive 300K for the NCAA's academic performance review (APR) for participation in a postseason bowl.

how do the bowl payouts work? When I see a payout of 1.2 million, is that per team or is it a split?
