When will our bowl be announced? I thought it would come yesterday. 

They will all be announced on December 8......after the CFP schedule is released. But as you can see.....some may leak out, before that.

Were you at the Cotton Bowl for the 2013 HoD Bowl?   Attendance of 38k, and I bet UNLV brought ~1500.
That's what a decent turnout should look like for a local bowl for us.
The 2022 Frisco Bowl's attendance was officially 12k (very generous), and the crowd was so unimpressive & unenthusiastic, you couldn't really even tell who many of them were rooting for.  But, there was enough blue to know more than 1500 were rooting for Boise.     Very embarrassing for a University that is only 30 minutes away.

I just disagree and you can’t find a program similar to our that would regularly turn out over 20k in a local bowl game vs another G5 program.  A 6-6 G5 bowl team (not new to bowls before New Year’s Eve) isn’t a good draw down the street or in a great escape winter vacation spot like San Diego or Orlando.  If it were so embarrassing many teams should be opting out lesser bowls due to turnout.  What exactly are we learning about G5 programs facing each other in a bowl?   The best ones are probably losing their best players to the portal (if they even play) or coaches (likely both like Sam Houston).   The mediocre ones (7 wins or less) are likely retooling coaching staff and looking to the portal to patch deficiencies that lead to 5-6 losses.  If we barely see 20k in seats at home games with good weather when it looks like we will be better than 6-6 then it just doesn’t make sense to expect that turnout in cold weather when we are 6-6. 🤷🏽‍♂️

We are not going to the Frisco Bowl. Memphis vs WVU will be there. 

I am surprised about Memphis. After thumping Tulane I thought they would get a tier 2 bowl bid instead of a dredge like the Frisco Bowl.

I think they finished 10 & 2 ranked 25th in nation are are playing 6 & 6 West Virginia. Memphis is a really good get for a tier 3 bowl like the  Frisco Bowl.Good for them.
