bowl families fans francisco initial san south tougher travel
There was initial disappointment because it's so much tougher for our families and our fans to get to the games. I don't think it was this bowl or San Francisco. I think it was just the thought of having to travel so far. If San Francisco were in South Alabama, I think it would be fine.
