Notre Dame officially ends bowl talk

that's good news. while not in resounding fashion, Rick may deliver on his bowl promise this year after all. I don't need to root for SUC tomorrow for this to happen, do I?

No, the SUC/Az game is irrelevant to UCLA's bowl chances since we're outside the Pac's six auto bowl slots. Our options are either the Humanitarian (vs. Idaho) or GMAC (vs. CMU or Ohio) bowls at this point and the Humanitarian bowl has openly expressed interest in us.. I haven't seen this expressed elsewhere, but I also believe the Army/Navy game next week is also irrelevant since an Army victory would bump Marshall out of a bowl, (C-USA replaces Army in the Eagle Bank Bowl if Army can't make six wins) not us. The only thing that would keep us out is if Hawaii upsets Wisconsin, which would qualify Hawaii and eat up the last at-large spot that available to a 6-6 team.

At least the GMAC bowl is technically a January bowl!

Does UCLA continue to practice while waiting on a bowl invite?
