I am just not interested in this game enough to go to it. I will watch on tv for sure.

I will be in Albuquerque the week of the New Mexico Bowl with my girlfriend visiting her family. If Wyoming would have got invited there I was going to go to it but they didn't so Instead Potato Bowl on TV for me.

Where is the “my wife told me there is no way in hell you are going to Boise the weekend of Christmas?” option.

If I lived in Green River or that corner of the state I'm sure I would go. It's a rare thing to go to a bowl game for wyoming fans. That being said for me it would be a twelve hour drive one way and airline tickets are not cheap. Timing sucks, the venue sucks, but if I'm willing to turn out to a game in November in Laramie the weather isn't really what keeps me away, it's the financial an time obligation that are too much for me at this time.

I watched UW vs. SJSU. I don't want to watch uninspired football again. That was as pathetic a team performance as the North Dakota loss at home in 2015.

I might be biased since I live here, but I think Boise is 1,000 times better than Albuquerque. Tucson doesn't seem too exciting either, and Hawaii is way too expensive around this time. Of all the bowl cities for the MW, Boise is definitely one of the better ones.

In winter, though? Fall, spring and summer are swell I'm sure

Tucson is just as fun of a city as Boise but it's 12 hours closer and I'm not interested in a cold Bowl game.

New Mexico has been fun anytime I've gone there and still yet closer and warmer.

Boise is just poop location for a late December Bowl game.

There's no way in hell I'm driving 700 miles, in the winter, to Boise, ID, only to sit in a freezing stadium to stare at the worst field in all of sports.
