Sun Bowl Traveling Tips
For those of you who are making the trip to El Paso, here are a couple tips...

Serious tip: Do not visit Juarez, Mexico on your trip to El Paso.
Juarez, the town across the border from El Paso, is not a place you want to go, even if all you want to do is go to bars that advertise $10 drink-til-you-drown nights and collect little Corona bottles.
In fact, it's so bad down there, that all military personnel (including those stationed at Fort Bliss in El Paso and Holloman Air Force Base, 90 miles north of El Paso) are prohibited from going there.
It's due to the large amount of violence, kidnappings and murders that have been going on there for quite some time. Here is a link from the El Paso Times, dated November 27, that explains why officials from the Sun Bowl will not be visiting Juarez: Article
If you search on ElPasoTimes.com for "Juarez violence", you'll get 53 news articles detailing it.
UTEP and New Mexico State students are also advised not to cross the border.
Not-so-serious tip: The Sun Bowl has 45,000 seats. Because you're playing Pitt, you won't have much trouble finding a ticket.

Anyone making the trip and wants to meet up?
Assuming you don’t want to kill me. I’ll be getting into El Paso around 6:30 on the 30th, find a bar/restaurant, and watch the Holiday Bowl
I support Takimoto in his effort to support Roger Kieschnick in his quest to becoming the best Kieschnick ever to play professional baseball.

Yes I still hate you
But the Pac10 is in such need of respect right now I am not rooting against you. In fact, I have picked Oregon in every bowl pick ‘em that I’ve joined. I’m not proud of it, but it’s the way it is

Well I still don't hate you
and I’ve picked the Beavers in my bowl pick ‘ems too. I feel like the Beavs are flying under everyone’s radar, and I think Riley likes it like that.
I heard a story on 95.5 The Game, and read on the Sun Bowl website, that said the Sun Bowl is going to try to set the record for the most people doing the YMCA at the same time. Are you going to participate so you can say you hold a Guinnesse World Record?
