They are trying again in 2019. They almost got it in '15. Sun Belt vs. American

All better destinations than Shreveport and Birmingham.

There are too many teams getting in, but I'm not going to complain about more football. It usually seems like the little bowls are the most exciting games too. Lots of the Power 5 bowl games seem to be blowouts.

This isn't really a concern at all. What is a concern is the constant talk of expanding the playoff.

Can you give me a link on that. I'm actually fairly curious. I remember hearing about it but I didn't think it was close.

I honestly hope this one is a joke.

Maybe I'm wrong but I don't think American college football fans and Sharia law would mix well

Is this so UT is guaranteed a bowl game every year?

I hate that losing record teams get in, and I think there are too many bowls....until bowl season actually starts. Pretty awesome having at least one football game every day for 30 out of 33 days.

absolutely ridiculous. We can't even fill all the bowls we have now with 6 win teams. Not to mention damn near 75% of the entire field gets to make a bowl!

If this is about the actual medal and not the game I would be all for this being a top tier bowl.

When do we expect a Havana Bowl?

I kinda want to go to Cuba before President Trump shuts it down again

It feels like they're trying to make it to where no matter your record you end up going to a bowl

It's the actual medal - apparently, it would be played at the Citadel.

Don't you mean the Sentinel? Man what a lame attempt by House of Cards.
