Would be great to eventually get an acc tie in for fans living on the west coast.

I'd kill for some West Coast action

 

[AngryOtto]

I know the staff has been reaching out to players on the west coast for recruiting. Either a bowl or scheduling UCLA, unlv (raider stadium), Arizona or San Diego state. I’d even settle for any of the Texas schools.

Off topic, but When is the last time we won a game out west? Closest thing I can think of is Missou, and they're in the mid west. Last thing I can think of is Fiesta Bowl.

We won a bowl game in Hawaii vs Arizona in 1990.

Fiesta Bowl vs Colorado in 1992.

Insight Bowl vs K State in 2001.

You'd have to go back to 1967 to the last time we won a regular season game at UCLA.

We'd all like some "west coast action"

The ACC entered into an agreement with the Holiday Bowl, based in San Diego, effective this coming season.

The ACC still has an agreement with the Sun Bowl in El Paso and teams that make the playoffs could be sent to the Rose or Fiesta Bowls.

Wouldn't be bad to do one home and home with a team like Cal, Oregon St, Arizona or SD State

Was going to say what a great job they did thinking out of the box for that one. Should have made it a reincarnation of the Freedom Bowl since that is basically what it will be with all the WAC teams now being the Mountain West.

Fiesta Bowl vs Colorado in 1992.

Too soon, jerk. I still remember the name Kirby Dar Dar.

Worst of all was having to hear ex-Raider TE Todd Christensen as color commentator for that game. He was new to broadcasting and was horrid. Got better in the 2000s up until he died, but that night it was salt in the wound and sand in the eyes having to hear him.

Yes, I remember that. Sometimes when you have a new announcer, it can be somewhat endearing to hear them struggle. But not with Todd. He combined high levels of incompetence and arrogance to produce a special blend of awfulness for that game. I had always disliked him before that game. Wasn’t sure why.

After that game, I knew why.

Does the Texas Bowl count?

Does the Texas Bowl count?

Only if you are Rutgers

Fitting name since he sucked the life out my 14 year old existence at the time like a vacuum.

Holiday Bowl would be a fantastic bowl trip, count me in.
