If we get Memphis at least we should be designated the home team. Home team locker rooms, uniforms, automatic we win the coin toss and we get to pick the refs.
Also, I never said I didnt think we could win, but its less likely than other scenarios I have seen
I welcome a challenge give me a Notre Dame/P5 over a game we would be favored in against like Miami Oh/G5 team...with Iowa on the schedule we will never play any other P5 schools so bowl games are our only chance
I hear this guy will be doing our bowl announcement.
Prepare yourselves..............

I’m thrilled with the season in general, beating two top 5 teams, and getting to a bowl game this season. We may be acting a little entitled, but bowl games aren’t supposed to be about local teams getting another home game either, or by conferences sitting out of their tie-in. Yeah, sometimes that’s how it shakes out and it’s all about the money in the end, but is that even there with Liberty selecting Memphis? Those bowls are always the least interesting as well.
With that in mind, we also don’t get to bowl games often enough to have a crappy matchup that no one cares about. There are bowls to prop up G5 teams and give them exposure (like the Liberty is now shaking out to be), and there are bowls to highlight out-of-conference P5 matchups. The exposure of playing another P5 team is what I think this program needs going forward, and I think we earned it beating Oklahoma and TCU, while clearly getting robbed out of OSU and KState.
You literally said “I want a winnable game, playing ND in Orlando isn’t one of them IMO”
You don't turn down a bowl invitation.

They’re all winnable. Did you watch our season? As long as Big XII refs aren’t present one could argue we should be favored.
Didn't Jamie say on Murph and Andy that we will know where we are going at 2:15 pm today?
We'll know prior via the Tweet monster, but 2:15 pm is what Jamie said unless i heard him wrong.

I worded that poorly I guess. ND is on the bottom of the list of teams we match up well against. I guess that is what I was trying to say
I was thinking about this too. You know who the athletic director who turned it down was right? He is all too familiar around here.
I agree. You don't turn down any bowl invite. I would just rather not see them play Memphis in Memphis. Nonetheless, if that's where they land, I will enthusiastically go and support the team.
2:45pm central we will be holding a press conference to talk about our bowl game with CMC and JP.
I assume we'll find out on Twitter beforehand

I want ND in Orlando. Bias I know cause I'm in Coconut Creek. I think we can beat anyone. Bring them on.
