So how many RVs will be going from Alabama to Miami to Santa Clara over a 10-day period ... only 44 hours by car from Miami to Santa Clara ...
I saw Independence Bowl tix for $15 face ... guess the national championship will be about the same give or take a few zeros ...
Nothing incites bodily violence quicker than a Duke fan turning in your direction and saying 'scoreboard.'
Weezie, nice to see you’re up and at em this morning. As a Duke alum who was born and and raised and still lives in Shreveport, I am certainly available to offer assistance to anyone coming here for the I-Bowl. I am working on a post about Shreveport and our Bowl and hope to have it up later today. I understand that there may not be a great influx of folks to Shreveport right after Christmas to watch our team that got its ears pinned back against Wake. But I would love to have the opportunity to meet and hangout with anyone from the DBR community who can make the trip. I have never been to a college bowl game (aside from the I-Bowl) but I have been to a handful of Final Fours. I too would like to know where the team is staying (I’m guessing the Hilton downtown). I got an email yesterday about the pregame party near the stadium. Is there any kind of gathering or party the evening before the game?
Well, as a Temple alum and Duke fan, this should be interesting...
Bill Cosby is probably the most famous, now infamous, Temple alum. Believe he ran track. You are now set up for some comments.

These folks consider this game to be #25 on the bowl scale this year:

"Daniel Jones is an NFL QB prospect for Duke, a team that was outscored 94-13 in its final two games. David Cutcliffe will have his guys ready to finish the season out on a much higher note. Geoff Collins has been a smooth transition from the days of Matt Rhule for Temple. The Owls shook off an 0-2 start to win eight of its final 10. Those two losses came to UCF and Boston College, both on the road."

CBSSports has the Independence Bowl at #14. https://www.cbssports.com/college-fo...e-orange-bowl/
They have the First Responder Bowl at #6. My colleague, a BC grad, suspects the author must be a BC alum.
