    Hey Terry
    In the Detroit paper this morning they had bowl projections that included ND playing Rice in the Texas Bowl. Any chance that you'd make the long trip to attend?
    Also in the paper it mentioned that an invitation to the Motor City Bowl was extended to ND. Could be a tough choice, Detroit or Texas. :D

    oh wow... If the game is in Houston, I may have to try to attend since the game will be on the NFL Network...

    Yes, I realize that I just rationalized driving 700 miles as opposed to subscribing to the NFL network.

    And the obvious answer would be Detroit?

    We will know all the bowls by about 8:30 tonight.

    I'm hoping for the Texas Bowl of course. I want to be there when Chuckles breaks the bowl loss streak and starts the Irish resurgance back to greatness!! :)

    Crap it looks like the Hawaii Bowl. Apparently they asked the players and they wanted to go to Hawaii...those pussies! :wink: :wink:

    ND to Hawaii

    Well the Texas Bowl just got flushed. Rice vs ND would have sold out, Rice vs Western Mich ....

    Easy....my wife is a proud Bronco alum and, like Rice, WMU is a proud academic institution. I believe my wife's double majors were journalism and beer bong.

    Is she a sportswriter?

    Seriously, I meant no disrespect to WMU or Rice. I don't mind having Skybox members mad at me, but I don't want to make their wives mad.

    My intent was to show that the game does not interest me.

    Sid, no problem. The only people Anne gets mad at are me and GWB ( I think one year, while I was sending small contributions to Pat Buchanan, she was donating blood to the Sandanistas.)

    Terry, thanks for the offer! I fear our Holiday travel will be to Grand Rapids and Detroit but maybe several more weeks of polar Wisconsin weather might cause to her consider a bowl vacation.
