Wow CFBN is saying WVU is going to a bowl

I would like Nola or 1st responders and maybe another one excpet Bahamas and NM

[UNTLifer]

I would be surprised if there is a Bahamas Bowl.

Please, no New Mexico bowl.  Aside from the game, there was not a single reason to travel there

Skiing in Taos was fun pre-bowl.

They'll probably do what the Sugar Bowl did after Hurricane Katrina, and play it somewhere else for a year or two.

That’s what I thought it would be like going into it, but our family really enjoyed Albuquerque.

Don’t want to play Troy or App State. No upside.

Sweet revenge VS Troy if I had my arm twisted...  Neal Brown is gone now.

No no no that would be a huge opportunity against Troy, but I wouldn't really wanna play App St. 

[UNTLifer]

I know a lot of people love New Orleans, but I have traveled there a couple of times recently and Bourbon has become a scam artists dream.  Not a fan of NOLA at this time.  I hope we are back in the First Responders Bowl our of the ones listed.

why should we be scared of our peers? 

Coaches getting paid big bucks to beat our peers, bring them on. SL's record against peers in Bowl games is 0-3.

Beautiful scenery, good food, proximity to Santa Fe and Taos? Would you rather go to Birmingham?

I would like a revenge bowl win against Troy, but App st is very powerful. They have a good chance to make the G5 NY6 slot

[MattMakesLoans]

This weekend’s attendance will have big impact on which bowl we get.  Sell Outs matter as much as wins to selection committees.

Yes, much rather go to Birmingham.

[wardly]

I probably am wrong, but there should be a difference in bowl options if our record is 9&3 vs 7&5.

You can thank our wonderful conference for that...

College Football News has us playing WV in First Responders on December 30 - played at SMU this year due to outdoor hockey in Cotton Bowl.

Again, another revenge opportunity for Seth & Co... this time Neal Brown & vengeance for that a** kicking Troy put on us in 2017.  I'm on board with this one!

IIRC, you win the conference, you get to choose

Please not New Orleans or Albuquerque again. I have been to all our bowl games in New Orleans, and Albuquerque was just a waste of good Mexican food. We have done the "Dallas Bowl" twice, so I personally would like a road trip to a different location, no matter where it is.

The conference doesn't have a lot of tie-ins remaining and some of the others that come to mind cannot be reached by road.
