Sorry, I have it all formatted, but it won't come out that way when posted. However, when you open it up to reply, it is formatted and readable, without actually having to reply.

Great post and a wealth of information.

It would be nice if one of you guru's out there could convert that information into Excel format and post a link. I would love to sort that infomaton several different ways.

Thanks again for the great post.

I'm working on transferring data to Excel. I'll figure out how to paste after I move it.

It was pleasantly surprising to me to see the big crowd at the Go Daddy bowl. The bowl attendance at these two games bodes very well for the SBC in the future. One would think it would do nothing but help in future bowl alliance agreements.

I've got it on an Excel spreadsheet. Now to get it on here. Anyone know how to attach an Excel file to a post?

As long as we agree with said bowls to never send FIU to a bowl. No matter how good the record.

Yes they show that they will travel also. I just happen to go to the ASU board to see how their experience was for that bowl game. I know that everyone here raved how the R&L Carriers Bowl game experience was, inside and out. From what I read about the Go Daddy's Bowl, it wasn't nice. People gave mixed reviews about Mobile. They really didn't like the stadium experience. People talked about fights and police not caring, running out of merchandise and food before halftime, etc. That's a shame. ASU's trip to a bowl game should be a reward and a great experience. They didn't deserve that. I hope that we don't go to that one anytime soon.

New Orleans knows how to put on an event. Mobile probably thinks they did a good job.

Kinda like the difference between the Top-28 in Lafayette and anywhere in north LA
