probably will, but it's nice to think of other choices.
The Pinstripe is the higher ranked/tier bowl, so they'd take a better team...
Well, because the Bronx bowl sucks . But I am happy with any bowl this year . This isn’t 2011 or 2013. Maybe if Syracuse gets to the pinstripe , we won’t go there
We just booked our family trip flying into Phoenix Dec. 29. Just realized the bowl is on Dec. 28 🙄, but anyway, plane tickets were insanely expensive on dates before Dec. 29.
Let's take a look:
CBS-
Hope game goes into OT and tell the Pilot to give you a parachute so you can jump out of the plane when it's over Chase Field during the 634th overtime
Listen...I wholeheartedly agree we SHOULD be in the Phoenix "slot" at 6-6 and NOT Pinstripe but have a feeling the Pinstripe people will insist to the B1G they get us over either of those two, this year, especially without a good ACC opponent to bring to The Bronx (UNC/NC State would likely bring solid crowds but the rest? Meh).
Meh. 1st bowl game in 7 years? I'd pay just about anything to get there.
One flight? Not so bad. 4 flights- bad. Plus our kids are still recovering from PTSD of the Flood/Ash years, and there is no way they will want to go to see a football game. They bailed on football games somewhere around 2017.
A trip to Phoenix and a bowl game is the perfect remedy for that!
I tell my kids if they stop going to RU games they're out of the will. They don’t know if I’m joking or not—neither do I. They make the vast majority of home games and have since they were a year old.

That Bowl should be disbanded. Nobody wants to go unless they are forced to go.
if you don’t mind what were the airfares ?

It comes down to the top five-win teams among the Graduation Success Rate. Of the teams ranked highest on GSR that should matter for …
– Illinois (4-6: GSR 90, at Illinois, Northwestern)
– South Carolina (5-5: GSR 89, Auburn, Clemson)
– Syracuse (5-5: GSR 88, at NC State, Pitt)
They were around $800-1000, but that was for a week stay. We got fares for $360, but by the time we added on extra leg room and preferred seats, we were back up to about $550. Someone said Alaska airlines flies to Phoenix? Use Kayak, Expedia, etc to get the best fare. We prefer United (maybe we should reconsider).
United took Continental for a nose dive when they took over. Continental was first rate. United is just ok. Do any airlines have DirecTV anymore? Going to miss college football on our flight back on Saturday.
We got stranded Christmas Eve by American several years ago in Dallas. American gave us vouchers to stay at the Days Inn in Euless, TX. I started reading the reviews on my mobile phone, and kept reading about it being hell, crack dealers in the parking lot, etc. We took vouchers and used them to buy dinner and stay at the Hyatt in the DFW airport. We are loyal to United for now. We have rarely been late on flights, and we have flown at least 3 times per year for the last 8 years to Phoenix and probably more to San Francisco before the pandemic without issue.
I am not in charge but optically speaking…how is #6 better than #7 ?
