Before EPSN, if the bowl was broadcast on the Mizlou Television Network it was a sign of a crappy bowl.

I'm remembering the days when even an invite to Shreveport was exciting.
So from my point of view an extra practice time and trip for the players make for no crappy bowls IMHO

Throughout it's entire history the Independence Bowl is the exact kind of game this board bitches about w/the misguided idea that only great teams were invited to bowls "back in the day". There have been just 7 ranked teams to play in it and only one game where both teams were ranked. Even for many of it's better games (team record wise) it would be between non traditional power schools that a ton of people here still whine about being played.

Whenever an interim coach is calling the game, because the coach got canned for taking his team to a garbage bowl. How do you put a positive spin on that?

When your colors are burnt orange and white...oh wait, that's a sign that you couldn't even MAKE a crappy bowl.

You're playing New Mexico St. @ their place.
And it's still listed as a bonifide bowl game.
