I have to take back some of my negative remarks about our Bobcats being in this game.

It's a great marketing/PR move, but it's also great that people in need will actually gain something from this game. The estimate of 28,000 to attend seems a bit high, but if it results in more people getting some help...all the better. 

 

This bowl has always had good local support... I only hate it because I can't get there and I think that's how most folks feel. I have no doubt Boise probably puts on a good spread and makes a nice bowl. If we're back there next year, I might be able to make it work, but it's still going to cost 3x as much as going anywhere else. Detroit is fun, but as far as local support for the bowl, it seems to be nil unless a big 13 team is in it.

Thanks for posting.  Count on me for some tickets.  Go cats!!!
