Representatives from the Advocare 100 Independence Bowl were at the game today..
The Reps will also be at Miami last game..
TAMPA -- Jerry Anderson, one of 12 people on the Advocare 100 Independence Bowl selection committee,
said Saturday he would love to pit the Hurricanes (6-5) against 10th-ranked Boise State in their bowl game Dec. 26.
"We like the TV appeal because they're a national team and have been for a long time," Anderson said.
"They came [to Shreveport, La.] and played when [quarterback] Brock Berlin first started.
So, the local people know them. We'll have a very good local turnout for Miami, whether we have Boise or San Diego State.
If we can have Boise, it would be a pretty big deal."
UM, under NCAA investigation for gifts players accepted from former booster Nevin Shapiro, could end
up declining a bowl invite to try and get a step ahead of potential sanctions that could be handed down.
Asked if there has been any talk of doing that, UM coach Al Golden said: "Not that I’m aware of , no.
the first time the question was posed to me was in one of the interviews. I don’t know what day, Wednesday
or whatever. My job is to get the team bowl eligible. That’s the first time I heard it when somebody brought it up the other day."
