Hopefully, another opportunity to watch them arrive with a mindset of entitlement and have reality placed rudely on their collective psyche!

NDNation's editorial line appears to be that the bowl is beneath them and that they should decline the invite: http://www.ndnation.com/boards/index.php?football

The bowl is beneath them and they would decline the invite....if they could still keep those practice sessions.

I suspect if ever FBS program could get 15 practices in December without participation in a bowl then a lot of these bowls would discover their real value to the system.

However, the practices are so valuable that no bowl is really beneath a school.  Though I bet that UAB team would happily accept the offer.
