Those would work.

I must be pretty out of it - did not know there was a Cactus Bowl, and then there's a Bahamas Bowl....really?!?!

Bahamas Bowl?

That was the Popeye's Chicken Bahamas Bowl.  It is played on an awful soccer field, but one does get the sense that the beach is very nearby.  The weather is nice.  The players all need passports.  And Popeye's chicken often announced some promotion or other that would run through the holiday season.  Though recently acquired and their new parent company didn't want to sponsor the game anymore.  Too bad.  I would guess the Atlantis may need to step up, since they really seem to be the force behind the bowl.

I suspect the players would rather go there than Mobile, Shreveport, Detroit, Boise, Memphis, etc.

I can't think of anything more depressing than spending the day after Christmas in Detroit, at Ford Field, watching the MAC/ACC/B1G unfortunates play each other
