You are right, never been mentioned at all.
Everybody thought FSU was going to the Birmingham Bowl but Boston College will be representing the ACC there.
I guess they figured that ASU would bring more fans to El Paso than FSU would bring to Birmingham.
Three day road trip!
Day one, drive to New Orleans (six hours). Party.
Day two, drive to Dallas (seven hours). Party not so hard.
Day three, drive to El Paso (nine hours). Get ready to tailgate!
I live in Houston... it’s farther to El Paso than it is to Tallahassee.
By 70 miles!

Huge step up from the Birmingham Bowl. Especially being on CBS. Iowa played in a few big Sun Bowls back in the day, including crushing PAC co-champs Washington and being stifled by a Pat Tillman led ASU. Former Iowa commit Eno Benjamin is the current Sun Devils stud RB.
Actually, on a previous thread here a few weeks ago, i said I'd heard we
were either going to the Gator or the Sun. You can look it up.

Actually, I was talking about the media prognosticators who get paid to forecast this shit.
This will be FSU's second trip to the Sun. We lost to Wyoming there in '66. It's tied with the Sugar and Orange Bowls as the second oldest bowl
game in the country, behind the Rose.

Yeah, but that's from Tally. You're way west, you can make it in under 20 hours.
Damn, man. You didn't have to get insulting. Maybe I should start calling you Carolina?
I've been to two sun bowls. in person. had a great time. one time iowa beat Washington. great time. one time iowa lost to ASU. yes it was a home game for them. they were there like crazy. I am fairly certain I watched Pat Tillman that day on the field along with tim Dwight. maybe.
sw airlines. el paso is a dump, or it was 20 years ago. probably still is. mountains are great. Mexican food is awesome. char broiler for burgers. a bunch of strip clubs on lee Trevino blvd
I get it, but staying away from any Walmart is a good idea, unless you treat it as entertainment, like the zoo, to observe the animals.
My wife finished high school in El Paso, and started college at UTEP. Both of her brothers are UTEP alum. I went to a few games while they were there, and went across the border to Juarez. Long time ago, early to mid 80s.
The mountains were very pretty. El Paso was heavily industrial, and not very pretty other than the mountains.

there used to be a youtube of some college kid and his girlfriend "making out" in the mountains during a game. and by making out I mean basically about 3rd base ish
my wife's cousin lived there. we used to go there a lot. they lived by the mountain with the thunderbird on it. it was awesome to look at. the town is kind of a dump, but , the mountains are good. they get a light dusting of snow sometimes. pretty cool. there is a car wash with Mexican food, owned by the haddads . never tried the food but I sat with them at the first sun bowl I went to, good folks
I’ve never been either. My sister used to be stationed at Fort Bliss and actually enjoyed it.
I did look briefly and a flight from Tallahassee runs 315-450, depending on the day you return via American.
I just checked Southwest from Tampa. It is around $400, depending on flights. My initial response from several friends is the time and place are inconvenient. If other Warchant refugees are going to go, post in this thread. We will be outnumbered, probably by a lot.
@seminoleed It could’ve been worse: You could have been called ColoradoNoles.
The game is at 2 p.m. on New Years Eve. Flight and hotel prices are going to be jacked up.
LOL, thanks DFS. I like tripadvisor. They usually have solid advice. I'd still be interested in random online opinions from people who have been there on this site in addition to the random online opinions from people on that site.
If we both go, I'll buy a beer.
hayden fry was from right down the road in eastland, tx so basically the el paso folks used to cheer for iowa
Yeah, thinking about booking a hotel I can cancel now. Flights are more difficult to cancel.
ok guys, have you been to that Miami section of town where it's like all Cubans? I went there when I went to orange bowl. el paso is kind of like that . kind of sleazy. in certain sections
