That’s why I’ve always smirked when Holmoe kept saying the two objectives of

independence were “exposure” and “access”. Don’t get me wrong, Tom is amazing and made great lemonade out of very sour lemons, but “access” was the wrong word to use. He would always clarify it as access for the fans, but that’s what “exposure” covered.

I just see it as the same thing.

Without a doubt, the bowl situation is the worst part of independence

The good news is that it's about a 20 minute drive from my house.

My in-laws just moved to Utah from the Frisco 8th ward. Stadium was 10 minutes

Hawaii Bowl is Christmas Eve at 8 ET at a field with 9k capacity

Toyota Stadium in Frisco has a capacity of 20,500. It's also smack in the center

That bowl sucked. Bad weather. Lousy stadium. Bad food. The football

We often had the dream or delusion that in independence we could get added at the last minute to a better bowl game

Are they playing it at a HS stadium?
