Congrats to Bobby and UNLV for getting selected for a bowl game. I'm not sure which bowl it is but they did accept the invite they received.

Have not seen anything firm, but the latest projections have UNLV going to the "Famous Idaho Potato Bowl" in Boise, with Buffalo as the possible opponent.
 
As of yesterday, the papers in LV said they had not received an invitation yet, with Boise, Hawaii, San Diego and one other (maybe the Texas Bowl) as the most likely destinations. However, they said there is a chance they could get left out of a bowl.
 
my sister lives in vegas and said on the news today they announced that UNLV gave bobby a 3 year extension to his contract.
 
I think I read somewhere that they didn't beat a team with a winning record. So, they go to a meaningless bowl that no one in LV cares about. Whoopee!

Uh-Oh.... Someone is still a little butt-hurt...
 
Not hurt at all. Just realistic. Will it be a bowl that gets you excited to watch? Not too hard to qualify for one of the many, many bowls nowadays. Most of them no one could care less about. Lets be real!
 
It is likely not a big deal to the majority of Vegas. However, to the team, school, and avid backers, it is a stepping stone achievement. Also bowl games help recruiting as well. They just need to continue moving forward from this. It leads to bigger and better things. Winning will bring the community to UNLV football. Great job BH!! This GRIZ fan is behind you.

I'd have to agree with bigsky33.. By the beginning of next season nobody will know what bowl game UNLV participated in. Like he said.... Whoopee!
 
According to http://www.reviewjournal.com/sports/unlvs-bowl-hopes-depend-its-final-game-fresno-states-fate
UNLV's bowl hopes depend on its final game, Fresno State's fate

Because if 15th-ranked Fresno State (9-0) wins out and makes a Bowl Championship Series game, that opens an extra Mountain West bowl slot, an extra opportunity for UNLV to find a spot in the postseason.

The Rebels became bowl eligible with a 41-21 victory at Air Force on Thursday night, but that doesn’t guarantee a postseason appearance for the first time since 2000.

UNLV needs to beat San Diego State at home this weekend to help their own chances of getting a bowl game in case Fresno State does not receive a BCS bowl bid.

Spliff-meister, you missed the real point, which is: Where are the Bobcats playing this weekend?

If the Bobcats would have decided back in August to not even play this season, nothing would be different right now.

And yet it will likely still have better ratings than any FCS playoff game including the NC game.

Only time FCS playoff games get "bowl like" TV ratings is when it's the Griz vs App State.

No reason to shit on the accomplishment of Hauck and UNLV this year because you hate the bowl system. It's the first time in a long time UNLV has made it to a bowl and that's got to be pretty damn exciting for the fans and the players.

I was just playing the devils advocate.. Of course its good for any program to get to a bowl game when they have had such little success in the past. Its a good foundation to start on next season.

Well, I guess you can cross Fresno State off the "BCS Bowl" list....
