Agree. I have much higher expectations than Ohio or North Texas. Cure Bowl in Orlando is an ok destination and drivable to East and west coast beaches after the game.

Neither team mentioned excites me whatsoever.

I really hope it's not a current or former C-USA team. I'm done with that group.

The Herd is on ESPN now and definitely has the schedule both in and out of conference to get a halfway decent bowl. Huff needs to make that happen.

Marshall is in the position or should be in the position each year to be at minimum a top 5 G5 program. 
The standard should be top 3.
IMO, if MU can be a top 3, the bowl game and match up would be more attractive. (Should be)

Let's take for example last year, Myrtle Bowl against UConn. When you lose to BG and a few conference games - it will cost you and you'll get matched up with well, UConn.

We didn't handle UConn like I thought we would. I actually was getting a little worried at one point. Bowl games, though I enjoy them, are weird.
