Sun Bowl is the only non-starter for me in this array.

I’ve always wanted to go to El Paso. Not.

Sorry Marty Robbins.

And Bob Weir.

Zero chance at Sun. So you’re safe!

Game on then!

Travel costs rather than bigger TV.

El Paso is interesting. It's on the Mexican border so you'd think it would be a warm destination but in late December it can get very cold/windy there.

It's definitely a beautiful venue.

I would love to play in the Gator Bowl like we did in 1996 when we destroyed Clemson 41-0 - maybe it's Florida this time?!

I’ve noticed the beautiful venue on TV.

Would be happy to watch this year’s game the same way.

I was there.

Remember some Clemson fans tailgating around a former hearse called Paws Bearer

They didn’t know the hearse was for them.

They didn’t know.

Me too. I used to live in Gainesville and still have some good friends there . It would be a fun match up. Fun fact: the Orange came to Gainesville when I lived there, led by Todd Norley and Coach Mac. It was not a good outcome!

The best Syracuse game I've ever been to live was also against Florida when they came to the Dome in 1991. Kirby Dar Dar reverse for a TD on the opening kickoff!

Jack Murphy was destroyed a few years ago. The new SDSU stadium, Snapdragon Stadium is built on the same site. Beautiful venue.

Not sure if true or not but I heard they wanna move the campus down there too eventually

Still the loudest I’ve ever heard the Dome.

Where do they even play the Holiday Bowl these days? Is it at Jack Murphy Stadium where the Chargers played or do they squeeze it into the Padres stadium?

The Midway, actually. It's wild.

Back in the day the Sun Bowl would often have the most entertaining game of bowl season.

I didn’t even know he was sick

 

[djorange1989]

It really is and not a bad seat in the house. Also the trolley drops you at the stadium.

I am kicking myself for not going when I was out there visiting my daughter in October. I missed one of the Aztecs few wins(Hawaii). Our UNLV game was the night before so I think I was too mentally exhausted after that!

I pray it’s not the Sun bowl. My son gets married that afternoon.

Just stay clear of Felina.

Just stay clear of Felina.

But those dark eyes...I needed to return

We see what kind of fan you are.

 

[elimunelson]

I have only been to 2 bowls in my life - Gator and Orange during the McNab years. The Gator Bowl experience was top notch and the Clemson fans were actually quite nice.
My best friend and I will go to the Gator Bowl if Kyle plays, otherwise it is frankly not worth it.

I was at the gator in 96. Remember Buzz Shaw breaking a chandelier at Jacksonville Landing at a pep rally.

I was soo hung over for the game. Thankfully it wasn’t much of a game

The great Sean Lewis was 3-9 this year

This year I agree we can do better, but since I was a kid I've dreamed of attending a bowl at this venue. There's really nothing like it.

Sun Bowl, Rose Bowl, Cotton Bowl, all iconic. I don't have a lot of "bucket list" venues. Made the SU game at Tiger Stadium a few years back. Hit Wrigley this summer. Not many left. Fran Wildhack, get me to the Sun!

He was handed a bigtime rebuild, they don’t have the horses, especially at the skill positions(QB is very promising however) to do what he wants to do. I assume your “great” comment was sarcasm, if so, you might want to look at what Kent State was before he went there/is now compared to when he was there. The guy can coach, Hoke left him with a bad roster to overhaul
