Only problem is Rice will bring about as many people as SDSU. Sure would like to play a team that travels well and will help boost attendance to over 50K.

ESPN schedules bowl times, and knows that deep down most people don't give a rats ___ about the NO Bowl. The Las Vegas Bowl is the same day, and to ESPN their is no reason to have a game further west be earlier than a game in the central time zone. So the games were swapped around this year.

Rice wont set the world on fire but they will bring a few thousand. Much more than SDSU

Taking logistics and time slots out of the picture I'd love to be in the Heart of Dallas Bowl because of the nostalgia of watching Louisiana play in the old Cotton Bowl Stadium and it being a New Years Day Bowl. I'm not sure that playing on New Years Day is as cool as it was in the past but it just sounds awesome to me.
