No issue with people being disappointed, but some of this crap... is ... amazing!

The Holiday Bowl has a reputation for fun, high-scoring games.  Like a 50 year+ reputation.

It is historically a more prestigious bowl than the Gator. Times may have changed, but that is the general national perception.  (evidenced by the fact that it pays more)

People saying 'it's the opponent, it's the opponent', I doubt they'd want to play Michigan at Fenway or Yankee Stadium if that was our option.

The idea that Wildhack had any control over this process, and should be criticized, is ridiculous.

That Kyle and the other potential pro Sr.s would rather play in a physical tussle vs. FL than in another Holiday Bowl shootout - why would that be?  What would be the better exhibition of his arm?

This bowl game (outside of the playoffs) is an exhibition game, the start of practice for next season, and an end-of-season reward for the players.  I can think of no better place to accomplish these things - regardless of opponent.

Finally - as people have said.. anyone care to make a wager as to whether the Holiday or Gator gets better viewership #'s?  If the Gator is SO much more prestigious - why would this be?
