In all seriousness, why didn't the bowl reach out and push for Air Force over Army?

With Barksdale there in Shreveport and another AFB in Central Arkansas, that's kind of the logical matchup if you want an Academy in the game.

Army is contracted with the bowl. They signed an agreement few years ago where they go to specific bowls in years eligible.

They have a bowl tie in with Army every other year, given Army is bowl eligible. With Army getting their 6th win they made it official today. Not bad business with how many schools may struggle (cough LSU cough) to have winning records this season.

And honestly, the vast majority of airmen at Barksdale never went to the Academy nor care about them.
