Jerry Palm projects us to the Las Vegas bowl to play San Diego St. That would be great as far as an opponent. That may be the best team we would have a chance to play. I'm not sure how many fans would make that trip.

For everyone who's been asking for two years to get out of the Sun Belt bowls and go elsewhere, here you go. I don't think this is likely to happen, but interesting that someone is predicting it.

I would actually be okay with this outcome. While travel would suck, the bowl opponent would be very nice, location would be a nice vacation, the date is early again, and it would be a totally different experience from last year.

Seven Pac-12 bowl tie-ins and only 6 teams with 6 wins . . . and one of these is Washington which will probably go to the playoffs, so that means 2 of these bowl games will have to find replacement teams . . . Jerry is predicting us and Air Force to take those slots . . . interesting, maybe Vegas feels they are a draw enough for any fan base, regardless of distance. Still, probably unlikely, but it sure is fun to speculate.

San Diego State and Wyoming play for the Mountain West championship this Saturday at Wyoming.

Please please please please

This would actually be one of the easier bowls for travel. Plenty of direct flights and no shortage of hotel rooms close by.

A bowl game in Vegas would be awesome.

so three of our five bowl locations are Las Vegas, New Orleans and Orlando! Wherever we go I just want to play the best team available!!

Agreed. I'd want to play in the Flint Bowl if it meant the best opponent we could face.

Been to Flint. It has its qualities;)

Who on this MMB would travel to Las Vegas for a bowl?

NewApp,

I'd go for sure. It's an easy flight and on a Saturday. Weekday games would be hard for many on this board.

What's the date? I can go if it isn't the 17th.

I'd have to price flights and hotels, but I'd go if it's affordable.

Lord willing, I will be at our bowl game no matter the venue! Go Apps!

Allegiant Air and Frontier both fly to Las Vegas. Both are pretty cheap. Hotels I have zero clue.

It would easily cost more than $500 per person for flight, hotel, food, and tickets. That's way out of my price range.

I can't imagine a round trip flight from Charlotte or Greensboro to Las Vegas for less than $500.

I just looked at packages on Expedia. Flight round trip from Charlotte to Vegas and two nights in a hotel (rated 4.2 out of 5 on reviews) for $530

Multiply that x 2 for a couple, plus food and tickets.
