Palm still has SU in Military Bowl

[jekelish]

Well now I'm really hoping we get the Heart of Dallas Bowl, since my wife just said she'd actually go with me.

Dallas please God. There will be a lottery for my two spare bedrooms. Liquor is gratis and I have no leaves to rake.

People are hammering Frazier for this, but do we know the protocol on bowl lobbying? My sense of Gross is that he's working the phone, but maybe he had already talked with the ACC before the game. It doesn't seem like a stretch for them to say that it will be a challenge to fit us into an ACC tie in game, especially when Clemson loses to South Carolina like they always seem to.

If Gross is working the phones, then why does Frazier make these comments?

"What we assume is that we'll get placed in one of those other bowls that are an at-large bowl that one of the other conferences could not fill," Frazier said. "That's what we believe will happen at this point. The conference is diligently working to secure one of those spots from us and we'll go from there."

I mean I hope that SU is calling around, and calling the ACC to let their preference be known. This is what is so frustrating about the SUAD- they make it so you can't assume that they are doing the right thing, or give them the benefit of the doubt.

We'll go from there...smh.

Dallas presents a huge conflict for me. One son in Dallas on in Pasadena. Plans are to go to Pasadena to see the Rose Parade floats. A life long dream. But with Dallas... ugh

This was in Chris Carlson's column "the most likely options for Syracuse as the Beef O’Brady’s Bowl in Tampa (Fla.), the Little Caesar’s Bowl in Detroit, the Pinstripe Bowl in New York, the Heart of Dallas Bowl in Dallas and the Poinsettia Bowl in San Diego."

There will be another Rose Bowl and Parade the following year.

IF we end up in Dallas, how many folks are in the general vicinity? Since I've gotten the go-ahead from my wife, I'd be in for any tailgate that takes place. Plus we may be able to cut a group ticket deal, maybe?

I hope that SU isn't simply relying on the ACC to lobby for them as Frazier implied in his comments in this morning's paper. Gross, Frazier and crew should be working their asses off to get SU into the best possible spot.

Shafer and the team deserve to have the folks in the SUAD earning their money by working on this, and not leaving everything in the hands of the league.

Since he does such a bang up job on the schedule we should be fine.
