All I see is a game in Dallas against some MAC team. Most Locals hate driving across town to see a MAC team, now they think they will drive 1000k Miles?

I like either of those two matchups. Would love to see us in the Big EasyESPN's two analysts have...
Marshall playing Louisiana Lafayette in New Orleans
Marshall playing Wyoming in New Mexico
Seems from what I've been hearing/reading there is more buzz around New Orleans in the last week or so.

If Appy lands in the New Orleans Bowl as the Sun Belt Champ, I can see CUSA sending either FAU or UAB to play them.
Let me take this in a different direction - which of the following teams were you most excited to see Marshall play?
2011 FIU
2013 Maryland
2014 Northern Illinois
2015 UConn
2017 Colorado State
2018 South Florida

Louisville wasn’t P5 when we played them in the bowls but they are P5 now.In 16 bowl appearances, Marshall has only faced two opponents that belong to the modern-day P5: Ole Miss (1997) and Maryland (2013).

Agreed... If App wins, they go to New Orleans automatically and I don't think the bowl committee, ESPN or CUSA wants two teams 4 hours apart from the mountains playing each other in New Orleans. They will want a closer CUSA team (either the championship game loser or Southern Miss).
Maryland
I like the chance to stick it to a big state school with the pedigree and snobbery. Outside of that I would like to whip the shit out of Notre Dame.
Doesn't USM almost always go to New Orleans?

Like is projection from SI
Gasparilla Bowl, Tampa (2:30 p.m. ET, ESPN)
Conference USA vs. American
Marshall vs. Florida State
Geography plays a big role here. None of the Texas schools make a bowl, so that means somebody has to fill two games in Dallas, and the one in Albuquerque. I would think FAU would choose to play in the Gasparilla Bowl, rather than just playing a de facto home game, especially if it can get real Miami. That game has moved to the 65K seat Bucs stadium, so it has tickets to sell. No way all the Florida bowls let real Miami leave the state, Indy will be an 6-6 7-5 SEC team. I would think NO would want LTU or USM.
We’ve played one MAC team in a bowl game since Doc has been here and it was an eleven win conference championHmmm...take advantage of a traditional powerhouse ACC team while they're down and totally beatable, all the while, earning some name recognition?
Nah, we will be better off playing the "I Can't Remember Any Details Bowl" in which we play a mid-level MAC Team. I can assure everyone, if those two options are on the table, John and Hamrick will go with the MAC team and not look back.

True but ESPN probably has a bigger say.Geography plays a big role here.
Yes that we don’t frequently play MAC teams in bowl gamesAnd we've played plenty OOC throughout his tenure.
So, do you have a point?
This is the absolute truth. If ESPN says jump, we ask how high.True but ESPN probably has a bigger say.
ESPN owns virtually every bowl we have a chance of playing in. So yes, we jump or sit home. No other optionsThis is the absolute truth. If ESPN says jump, we ask how high.
