A) Sun Bowl has been around forever.
B) I did some research and it’s not unusual for a team finishing 2nd in its division to go to the bowl (since the ACC signed on.)
3) It is, however, the first time a 6-2 acc team went to this bowl since we signed the deal with them.
4) As cowdog indicates, the perfect storm pushed us here. Further, it got us a bad opponent who just fired it’s coach.
Finally, we have typically gotten a better bowl than we deserved and its our turn to get the short end of the stick.
