Part of it is me selfishly wanting to go somewhere warm to see the bowl game. Fenway and Pinstripe will bring so many bandwagon fans who will ask me stupid questions like “where’s Jaxon Mitchell” and “why don’t we play the Wisconsin kid he’s an 80 in NCAA. Football 24” or the best yet “Victor Rosa should be playing he’s the best RB on the roster.”

Go screw. Take your uninformed questions and go play on the train tracks.
You're looking at this all wrong CT.

Nothing could be better for the program than a ton of bandwagon fans filling the seats in Fenway or Yankee Stadium.

If we drive up the price of aftermarket tickets at one of those venues and fill 20k+ seats other conferences will notice. So will the committees that run those two bowls.

I understand, still hurts.

Skiing in the northeast during holiday week is always crowded and a little unpleasant in comparison to other times. So if this bowl game is in Boston or New York, I an thinking I am in whole hog. Gotta rustle up a posse though. Sending out feelers right now.

Any other year, wife and I would be at pretty much any bowl game featuring UConn v Pitt that's not in Alabama. Unfortunately, she fractured her hip a few weeks ago at Acrisure leaving a Pitt game and won't be traveling anywhere until probably next spring :(

@storrsroars, you’re the one Yarder that I figured would attend Pitt/UConn matchup. But sometimes life circumstances get in the way. Wishing your wife a quick recovery.

We actually discussed it this morning. She was interested in knowing if it was possible. Having been to Fenway a bunch of times, it's probably one of the worst venues out there for someone who'd be using a walker or wheelchair. I'm the one who nixed it.

Announcements starting to trickle in...

Miami (OH) vs Colorado St in Arizona Bowl
NIU vs Fresno St in Idaho Potato Bowl
Arkansas St vs Bowling Green in 68 Ventures Bowl
Honestly unfortunate, Miami, NIU, or Ar St would've been great matchups
