DISQUS

Hey Einstein...as a UConn fan, I won't quibble with your analysis of Big East East football. However, you can be sure that UConn would send far more fans to a major bowl game than either Cinncinati or West Virginia. UConn's sent far more fans in 2004 to Detroit's Motor City Bowl than did nearby Toledo. And that was DETROIT! What do you think will happen if we get to go to Texas? Or Vegas?

El Paso on New Year's is a tough sell to anyone, but I dunno, watching the UConn-Louisville game, it was as if most fans had just realized college football existed. It's not a knock or anything. Plus the Motor City Bowl is much closer to UConn than the Sun Bowl. And El Paso is not really Texas--it's out in the middle of nowhere.

In any case, it's moot for us--we're not going to the Sun Bowl. You still have a good chance though. Hope you prove me wrong!
