Jerry Palm updated his projections. It appears that the First Responder Bowl is more interested in Army and Boise than Houston and San Diego State. Palm is projecting that San Diego State winds up in Inglewood with Oregon State.

In other news, Conference USA, the MAC and Mountain West Conferences and ESPN petitioned the NCAA for the right to move the "cancelled" Redbox Bowl to a currently unknown place in Texas. That made Hawai'i bowl eligible, and they accepted the Hawai'i Bowl berth against Memphis. That move also guarantees that all bowl-eligible teams will play in bowl games this year.
The Redbox Bowl was supposed to pit #6 Pac-12 v. #7 Big Ten. I do not think that it will this year, but wouldn't that be great, if they were able to set up a bowl in Texas for #6 Pac-12 and #7 Big Ten?

I want that matchup just to watch their punter One of the three Ray Guy Finalists. Although, for a lead-in like I want that matchup just to watch their: I would expect pretty much everything besides............punter. How about: I want that matchup just to watch their............cheerleaders. About the only punter that I wish I would have seen in person was Pittsburgh's punter, Dave Brytus. He was a Pennsylvania Heavyweight Boxing Champion and two-time Pennsylvania State Karate Champion. I heard that, during the Sun Bowl talent show, all he did was run around and punched through things made out of concrete, winning the talent show. He had a cup of coffee in the NFL before becoming a not-so-great MMA fighter. But still. But I digress, I still think there has to be about 24 or 25 things more interesting about the Aztecs than their punter. Like, why are they the Aztecs? Would Monty Montezuma show up? Etc. Maybe, I'm the weird one, though.

I want that matchup just to watch their punter Hekker says he's no match for the Sun Bowl headwinds. Now a tailwind.... that might be interesting.

Just a normal looking guy (no pun intended), but I more enjoyed watching him punt on TV growing up!

But, yes, they have been playing their home games this year in Carson at the Soccer Stadium while their new stadium is being built.

Go Utes! I found it entertaining as well. Was really looking for video of punts blowing backwards as my memory suggests there were in that game. A win, is a win, is a win, as far as I'm concerned.
