Post by: steve dave on October 30, 2007, 04:13:21 PM: ALAMO!!!! The worst of the good bowls or the best of the crappy bowls? Either way I would be happy.

Post by: Newbie on October 30, 2007, 04:19:07 PM: Regarding ku: I honestly don't think the Cotton will take them because of their bad reputation for travel. Probably because of its high guaranteed pay-out, the Cotton Bowl seems to care more about asses in the seats from the Big 12 representative than some other bowls. (This is part of the reason why Colorado has only been once.) I think ku is pretty much a lock for the Holiday Bowl at this point.

Post by: tmramrod91 on October 30, 2007, 04:23:24 PM: Wiscy or Illinois. Neither are good matchups for KSU.
Wiscy has gigantic RB, Illinois has fast black qb.

On a side note, Rose Bowl Oregon vs WVU :eek: :love: That would be an awesome game to watch.

Post by: steve dave on October 30, 2007, 04:25:30 PM: Would the Gator take ku? If they don't take a Big 12 team they have to take a Big 12 team the next two years. You would think that would almost force them to take one this year. Sun Bowl sucks and I would rather go to the Alamo Bowl. Gator>>>>>>Sun. Why do these two trade off?

Outside of KC, Dallas is the largest concentration of ku alumni in the nation.

I've always hated Dallas, but didn't know why...until now.
Title: Re: New ESPN bowl projections
Post by: sonofdaxjones on October 30, 2007, 05:38:26 PM: I would suspect ku would put about 40-50,000 in the Cotton Bowl, they took a good 25,000 to that bowl game in Ft. Worth a couple of years ago.

Post by: Bookcat on October 30, 2007, 06:03:19 PM: I don't give a crap where ku goes.

If Kstate takes care of business like they should this upcoming month we should be eligible for the Alamo. It's the most enticing in terms of being able to travel to it. The Holiday has more prestige...but, anything but the Sun Bowl. Heard it's a real hole from the fans on tigerboard.

Texas Bowl matchup with USF? Only if we lose a few more imho and finish with seven wins.

Ok, that is like the fifth different city that I have been told that about. I thought it was Chicago? Can we get a link for this? But you would think that ku fans would travel to Dallas, it's not like it's far and the airfare from KC to DFW is retarded cheap. (Guess maybe not around the holidays, though.)

Because the Sun took a Big 12 team last year, the Gator figures to grab one this time, and its place in the batting order depends on whether the Big 12 sends one or two teams to the BCS.

So if the Cats end up in a typically non Big XII bowl it would most likely be the Gator and not the Sun.

Gator vs. Virginia Tech or South Florida? I like it!

I would LOVE to go there! Beats the HELL out of Huntington, WV.

Post by: catsfan20052006 on October 30, 2007, 10:12:24 PM: We weren't two plays away from a National Championship this season. Actually we're 3 drives away from being unbeaten but at least this feels different.

I heard it was San Diego. Also, I wonder how many fans would really go. They have a bball game against Yale on the 29th of December. Could be cutting it close.

I'm sure the bench has a great view to the field. Freeman is tall enough, Evridge would be able to see him.

Short of the NCAA granting Sirr Parker another year of eligibilty so we could torture him "Reservoir Dogs" style, I don't really see that happening. But (if we were to beat a good team handidly) maybe it would at least allow me to hear the terms "Alamo" and "San Antonio" without feeling like somebody kicked me in the coin purse.

This is interesting. They have us in the Insight vs. Purdue and the Alamo vs. Purdue. I guess it depends on whether you'd rather go to Phoenix or San Antonio. Of course I hate the idea of playing teams in bowl games that you've already played so I'd rather play against Wisconsin or Penn State but that's probably just me.

Post by: Bookcat on November 07, 2007, 03:54:27 PM: If we beat Nebraska and Fresno and lose to Mizzou you can bank on either the Insight or the Sun.

Either way, I'm probably not going since I'm a guaranteed fracking jinx.
Title: Re: New ESPN bowl projections
Post by: Cat Maniac on November 07, 2007, 09:50:28 PM: If we beat Nubb and Fresno, Alamo is very likely. :)

This assumes 2 Big 12 teams getting into the BCS, and the Gator picks a Big 12 team (Texas, anyone?) I think this is very likely given the way all the other conferences are playing out right now.

MU/ku loser gets Cotton.

Next will come all the 7-5 teams: Tech (may be 8-4 if they beat the Horns), KSU and CU (beats ISU and Nubb). One will get Holiday, one gets Alamo, one gets Insight.

Go ahead and write CU into the Insight. No one else wants them and their crappy traveling fans. Plus...we beat 'em.

That means KSU vs. Tech fighting for the Holiday/Alamo invites.

I'm assuming OSU loses to ku and to OU, leaving them 6-6 and stuck in the Independence again. A&M will lose out, also finishing 6-6 and Frannie will be a lame duck. No one will want to pick them, and the Aggies may even want to decline a bowl bid so they can go ahead and fire Coach Fran.

It's all coming to plan...
