Miami vs Colorado State in the Arizona Bowl

Fort Collins does have some of the best sports bars around, however it is also my granddaughter’s 20th birthday. So we will have a combined watch and birthday party. A large number of our daughter’s friends are CSU fans/grads so we damn well better win.

You’ve made some variation of this post before ultimately not attending a game approximately 50 times over the last 10 years and 3 iterations of this board.

You just walk in with your Miami gear on and punch out the biggest guy, and things will be fine.

Ah, well, that’s an idea I will mull about. Our granddaughters boyfriend is 6’7” so for that reason I will exempt him from the probable hit list. Besides, he is for various reasons now a Michigan fan.

La Paloma and Ventana Canyon are wonderful resorts in Tucson.

About 1/3 of my family lives in Tucson.

Guadalajara’s Grill is one of our favorite places to eat.

Miami athletics email says team is staying in Westin La Paloma, also says “ticket information will be available soon”

I sent their media rep an email Friday to tell them about the bad link. I think it’s a link floating around from a previous game.

It’s funny because it’s true

Any news of portal departures or people sitting out of the bowl game? I would think that not a lot of hold outs because there are a lot of seniors and probably realistically not getting drafted, and this may be their last opportunity to play?

Not looking like any entries yet, also the Arizona bowl offering NIL money might limit the amount of players entering before the bowl game

Colorado State has a pretty good year…mostly lost to a couple of excellent OOC teams.

Should’ve known we were destined for this game after getting the official Snoop cookbook at my work party’s white elephant last week. Nice matchup in a dry city. Brett and Matt deserve to go out winners for this one.

The mountain west is also pretty mediocre overall, only 5 bowl eligible teams, and only 4 with a winning conference record

Washington’s Jedd Fisch has announced that anyone who goes into the portal or announces their intention to go into the portal is welcome to play in their Sun Bowl game.

Fo Shizzle Dizzle

For shizzle, no drizzle. That’s the early weather forecast.

Watch it will be a freak rainstorm.

Looking like I’ll try to drive. There’s a cheap direct from SNA. But it’s at the wrong time.

I am not a gambler, but wondering if anyone knew who was favoured in our bowl game? Initially I saw us as a 3.5 point favorite, but that was before the MACC result. Guessing it could be close to a toss up game.

As an aside, I really like that we are playing what I would characterize as a well known football program. Not to be a football snob, but playing newbie FBS type teams doesn’t excite me too much. Also, if you look at CSU’s game results, except for a blow out loss to Texas, they were very competitive in most all their games.

Should be a good game w the added humor of having Snopp around during the broadcast.
