Dubai Bowl

[EAGLE83]

Confrence USA #7 and Army. In 2014 . Would you go?

[Harry]

YES!

[NM Green]

I would find a way!

[letsgiveacheer]

Just don't expect any tailgating!

Alcohol can only be served in hotels and in the homes of "special" individuals who hold a license.

What's the airfare to UAE ... $1,000 one way?

[greenjoe]

Coach is $1,685. rt

Business Class is $6,252. rt

First Class is $22,302. rt

But that;s on American. You may find a much beter deal.

GO (a long way) MEAN GREEN

I love America too much. I only go to bowl games in the United States of America.

[Harry]

Haha I imagine the AD staff would require a bit bigger budget to make this trip than they had at Hot Springs!

[UNTcrazy727]

No way. We'd probably have to schedule another body...err, I mean, "opportunity game" to cover the costs.

[cdizzle86]

Too rich for my blood.

[drex]

Pointless....no real coverage and too damn expensive to participate.

[letsgiveacheer]

If you fly first class on Emirates, you can take a shower in route! I've already got my ticket just in case.

For rich people only

[UNT90]

Why are we talking expense airfare and no alcohol?

Crawford is just a short trip down 35 and I have physically seen liquor stores near there.

[oldguystudent]

There is no reason I can give that won't offend somebody somewhere, but no. I wouldn't even consider going.

[meangreendork]

The Dubai Bowl?

Hah, sure. Assuming Dubai hasn't been overrun by the desert sands as all of the poorly paid construction workers steal materials and make a ship that takes everyone back to their home nation. Not like the massive loans to pay the construction costs were gonna be paid for anyway.

[DT 90]

No thank you. Been to Dubai. Not a big fan of the 14 hour flight from Washington Dulles on Continental/United. Hotter than hell on high. Very nice but VERY VERY expensive.

[emmitt01]

Really, really stupid idea. Want to outsource a bowl game? How about Mexico City. The NFL already does games there.

Because walking around alone in Dubai is safer.

[hickoryhouse]

Aren't we in conference USA? International outreach people... We have to get our brand or there, we want conference USA to be all over the world!

[JesseMartin]

Really, really stupid idea. Want to outsource a bowl game? How about Mexico City. The NFL already does games there.

What about Canada? Don't the Bills already play a game in Toronto or something? And they already have American Football there. That would make sense too. Dubai...seriously? I can't imagine any team would think that was worth the trip unless the team travel costs were going to be comped or seriously reduced.

That was actually pretty cool. Now deck them out in some Mean Green Mariachi band unis and they could become a tradition at all future tailgates and recruit to the growing Mexican neighborhoods in Denton/DFW.

Cool find.
