rams80 Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Texas A&M to AT&T Cotton BowlThat's stupid. I'd assume either Ok State, Mizzou or Nebraska, whichever didn't get the second Big 12 BCS bid would go there since it's the top of the non-BCS bowls. Guess they only want Texas teams whenever there's the slightest hint of possibility.As I suggested in the main NCAA thread, the Big 12's efforts to spite Nebraska cost the Conference a multi-million dollar BCS Bowl payout. An observation that Dan Beebe is a paranoid nincompoop could be made here.

Kevin W. Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 So as long as Arizona beats ASU and Stanford goes to the BCS (both likely) we play the loser of the Big 12 title game in the Alamo Bowl.We either get a Holiday Bowl rematch or the inaugural Stoops Bowl.

Interesting...IF the UofA wins...a Stoops bowl would be a better game a provide a better storyline. Arizona scoring points in a bowl game this year would be an improvement.

RyanMcD29 Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Syracuse confirmed to the New Era Pinstripe Bowl. So pumped for this because I'll be able to see the Orange in their first bowl game since 2004 and they're playing in the first bowl game at Yankee Stadium Also in the quirky department, my first time at the New Meadowlands Stadium was for a Syracuse lacrosse game. Now my first time at the new Yankee Stadium will be for a Syracuse football game Twitter: @RyanMcD29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An observation that Dan Beebe is a paranoid nincompoop could be made here.Think about it this way:The losing team's fans from the Big XII title game would make two trips to D/FW in four weeks, if selected.Ok State was in the game last year.Mizzou does not travel that well. The Aggies have won six in a row, they can sell tickets and represent more of link to the games past since it is the 75th anniversary of the game.

Does that work? Wait...better yet, the one and only time I've ever seen an Ohio State football game in person was at the Carrier Dome when they played Syracuse. I was working that one too. Aren't most lacrosse games played on football fields? It's not too quirky, I think. If lacrosse games weren't normally played in the Carrier Dome, then I guess it falls in the quirky department.My first Georgia game I attended was at Georgia Tech...so it was a relative home game for Georgia. I saw Georgia games at Tech and in the Georgia Dome (2002 SEC Championship Game) before I went to games at Sanford Stadium. (For the record, Georgia is 9-0 with me in attendance. I need to write the Athletics Director a letter and have him give me tickets until Georgia loses a game.)Speaking of Georgia and bowls....we've purchased a pair of Liberty Bowl tickets, as just about every pundit has them playing in Memphis. So the bowls the SEC has ties to better not throw curveballs come Sunday evening. Plus, may as well enjoy the festivities, frivality, and debauchery that Beale Street can offer on New Year's Eve. Good thing my friend lives within stumbling distance of downtown.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
