My thoughts exactly. But hey, it's ESPN. They can pull anything out of their ass!
Pretty Much New Mexico Bowl Bound!

Must be a lot of hotel rooms available and some sponsor willing to foot the bill.
Apparently Hawaii and whoever was the 6-6 Group of 5 team that was going to originally be left out needs it. ESPN has plenty of time slots to fill.
Apparently Hawaii was eligible this whole time at 6-7 and since there’s “2 leftovers”, ESPN is throwing together some bowl. Which they really aren’t, because the bowl at Levi’s Stadium was only canceled at the beginning of the season. It’s likely ESPN had a back up plan in case, there were extra teams available.
Does this mean maybe we end up at that Texas bowl or will NM Bowl fight for us? We got options now b*tch...
Have you been paying attention the last 50 years?
This Saturday USC and Cal will play their game originally scheduled November 13th. Both teams are 4-7, which pretty much makes this game irrelevant. However, what if one or both teams had been 5-6 instead? You think the NCAA would have added another bowl as well? Unfortunately we'll never know.
A college football bowl game gets higher ratings then any December College Basketball game.
Bowl mania: One-time bowl game added to slate
A one-time replacement bowl game is expected to be developed this season to accommodate all 84 bowl-deserving teams, according to a document obtained by ESPN.
So, kind of like a participation trophy? Cool!Bowl mania: One-time bowl game added to slate

And we get it, it’s expected. It’s like wanting to be “Rick Rolled” every time when you expect the message to be different.
I wish there was another multi-verse portal we can travel thru and bring back Bobby Dobbs.
No worries. We're Miners fans. We've grown accustomed to the disappointment yet we're still here cheering on our teams. It's what we do.
I'm surprised it hasn't already been announced. The pecking order should pretty much be set after UTSA's win yesterday, right?
Even before then. If WKU wins, they go here. If UTSA wins, this happens. Not that hard.
Probably awaiting MWC Championship Game after that we will probably hear something.
Bloomquist writes that Dimel will have a press conference at 11am Sunday and we will find out which bowl the Miners will play in then.

Utah St will not be in the NM Bowl at least. Winner of MWC is supposed to go to LA Bowl. Guarantee they're not happy about that. They would've rather had SDSU. It's looking more and more likely that'll it'll be UTEP vs Nevada or Fresno St. in NM Bowl. Both very tough match ups if that happens.
I really doubt there’s much difference between SDSU and USU in the LA Bowl. SDSU doesn’t even sell out the 20k LA Galaxy stadium. They sure as **** aren’t selling out the SoFi.
No matchup will sellout the Kimmel Bowl.
The fact that NM bowl hasn't been announced suggests to me that some other bowl (Frisco?) is still in play for UTEP. Other CUSA bowl invites have already been announced (ODU, MTSU). If UTEP is a sure thing for NM, I really don't see why they wait.
Aside from New Mexico the only other bowl I imagine UTEP could get is the one-time bowl game replacing San Francisco this year.
We still don’t know yet which players are quitting on their team.
Oh I’m sorry, the politically correct term is now “opting out”.
From what I’m hearing is that UTSA will play SDSU in the Tropical Smoothie Bowl in Frisco and UAB to the Independence Bowl. That’s just plain crazy. Apparently, CUSA champions have to play on an ESPN affiliated bowl and UTSA asked for an exemption because they wanted the independence bowl and they were denied. So UTSA is being rewarded to a $650,000 bowl and uab gets a $2.2 million bowl. This makes no freaking sense if true. Not that this has much to do with UTEP but just shows how screwed up this bowl mess is.
The money is divided among all conference members, so it's a wash.
From what you’re hearing??? Sure do have your ear to the street lol.
The Independence bowl is on ESPN too, so not sure what you’re talking about.
