Home field advantage for Boise

Probably about right:

Boise State takes on East Carolina in the Hawaii Bowl. The Broncos are 5-2 both SU and ATS in their seven lifetime bowl games, while the Pirates are 1-3 both SU and ATS in their last four, losing by 14 points or more in two of the three defeats. In addition, East Carolina certainly does not have any advantages in this one, having to go to Aloha Stadium, a place that Boise is somewhat familiar with having played there two of the previous three years. Expect the Broncos to be all business while the Pirates may soak up too much sun on the Honolulu beaches.

I think we would've been much better off playing in Mobile.

Also, we should acknowledge that awesome basketball victory vs. NC State. Had no idea we had never won a game versus an ACC team. Picked a good team to beat for the innaugural victory.
