BTW, it's a little misleading to say that playing in an El Paso bowl game gives Stanford a foot in the Texas recruiting door.  El Paso is pretty much halfway to Los Angeles for some of Texas (~12 hr drive); El Paso is about an 11 hr drive from Houston and a 9.3 hr drive from Dallas.

Carpool, anyone? :p
