Well, one can always work as a mule like in the upcoming Clint Eastwood movie to pay off the expenses.
Perfect spot too.

I would need to make contact with the cartels first. I don't know of any firsthand. Do they have a website or maybe an IG?
I wouldn't go for free this bowl season , just lost the juice this year, hopefully being off for 8 months it will return before next season, or not renewing tickets and not making the drive each week. Son has already tossed in the towel.
I am going and this team deserves it . I won’t even let you know anything from practice haha
I'm excited for any bowl. I only got to see us lose by 40 in the Liberty Bowl when I was in school.
It is a bit of a bummer. The Sun Bowl really isnt a bad bowl (CBS nationally televised game, decent big conference opponent we have a shot against, new years eve game, and a bowl with a lot of tradition (more random people throughout the country recognize the sun bowl vs a pinstripe bowl). The worse part of making this bowl is that most pitt fans that want to attend just wont be able to (very expensive to fly and not driveable). All the other schools in the ACC would have the same problem, which is why I am surprised they are still affiliated with it- really this should be a Big12 vs Pac12 game. I guess they dont care since its mostly a game for the locals.
I have been to all three of our earlier Sun Bowls. It really is a game for locals: almost 80% of the tickets are sold in West Texas and SE New Mexico. There is not much to do in El Paso, so it’s not a destination like Orlando where people take their families for a week.
It was a better trip before the travel advisory about not going to Juarez. Juarez was a lot more fun, even if you stuck to the PG-rated attractions there. When we played Oregon State, which was a year after the murder rate in Juarez skyrocketed, I came in the night before from LA and left right after the game.
Don’t forget to check Southwest if you are looking for cheap airfares. And, the idea of going to Vegas for 2 or 3 days and then flying to El Paso is a good one — except that Vegas will be jammed pre-New Year’s Eve and the hotel prices will likely be high.
I think I will stay home this year. The team doesn’t excite me and the coaching the last two weeks has been just awful. Besides, Stanford is a bad matchup for us. They have a very good DL and active LBs. Their weakness is their secondary — and we know Pickett can’t take advantage of that. David Shaw has slowly but surely brought Stanford from top of the PAC-12 status toward middle of the pack. But, they still have a lot of talent. We need to be able to run on them, and the OL hadn’t shown the ability to enable that the past two games. Stanford’s MG is one of the top DL in the country.
