Apparently the Insight Bowl is very interested. I'll say that if we go there the opponent will be.....Indiana or Iowa.
-
Insight vs. Iowa would be a great matchup.
-
Insight would be idiots to pick Indiana and Tech. Blah.
-
I'm pretty sure that MJ's not full of it on this one. If he says Joe Junker or Bob Bunker or whatever his name is says that they want us that's sounds pretty encouraging to me.
-
I'd love the Independence vs. Kentucky, Georgia, South Carolina or LSU. LSU would be fantastic.
-
Give us Indiana. We could use the cheap W like ku had last year.

His name is John Junker.
And I'm full of something tonight. It's giving me some bad gas..
-
I would absolutly go with Insight. The Phoenix are is awesome, especially during the holidays.

How would we feel about the Independence Bowl vs. South Carolina or the Texas Bowl vs. Rutgers?
Personally I'd rather go with the Independence Bowl but maybe that's just me. As far as South Carolina is concerned, I'm not sure it would be them because they played Missouri there last year. Wouldn't the Independence Bowl want two fresh teams?
-
We should flat-out reject the Insight and Texas offers, if possible.
No one will see those games and that won't be a good thing for various reasons.
We should lobby as hard as we can for the Independence.

You're talking about Tempe Arizona, land of beautiful women, vs. Shreveport, home of Bubba from Bubba Gump Shrimp.
Which one do you choose...

I was hoping for a better bowl after we finish 8-4 ;)

I won't disagree that Tempe and the Insight is the better bowl, but NATIONALLY no one will see the games because of the NFL Network.
I would guess that less than half of the households with Cable/Satellite have the NFL Network.
When we are hammering our opponent, I want the world to see it and take note.
-

I'd like to think we could magically slip into the Alamo with 7 wins. (8 would be better)
-
The reality is this..
KSU will win out the rest of the year.
And go to the Fiesta Bowl.
Either way, you're coming to Phoenix.
:ksu: :ksu: :ksu: :ksu: :ksu: :ksu: :ksu:

Give me Phoenix over Shreveport any day.
In Phoenix I watch Phootball and play golph. I will be there if that's our destination.
Can locals make tee times so it won't cost me an arm and a leg? I'm not as wealthy as Jayhox, with his fancy cars and 700inch DPI liquid crystal TV with a downstairs furnished in custom diamonds that he persoanlly shat out after eating lumps of coal.
:)
-
Concur with PW. We need TV.

I'll see what I can do for you if you come to Phoenix.
However, I don't golf. I will, however, drive the beer cart with Hooter's girls attached.
-
So Phoenix = Tempe, pretty much? Right next to each other?
Where can I find a cheap flight? Hotel and such? Details, people!

Surrounding Phoenix is:
Glendale (Fiesta Bowl - west)
Tempe (Sun Devil Stadium - south east)
I live about 45 minutes away from Sun Devil Stadium.
Depending on who you go with, you can get flights or travel caravan. My Dad has driven down here in 16 hours from Manhappiness.
Plenty of places to stay in Phoenix. Tempe has a number of Hotels as well as Scottsdale and Phoenix, most are pretty well priced.
-
we play for championships.
fiesta or bust!
-
I'd like Phoenix for the trip....Shreveport for the matchup and the exposure...
And, I'd love to go Alamo just to see Misery relegated to something lower than they "deserve"...
Plus, I'd like to see San Antone without the rain I got the last time I was there (not the unmentionable year)
-
"We like K-State," said Alamo Bowl representative Marty Wender, who attended Saturday night's game against Texas. "That's why I'm here."
K-State also is being considered for the Insight, Independence and Texas bowls.
"They bring a lot of people, and K-State recruits a lot in Texas," he said. "I'll tell you, it's important when a team travels, and y'all do that."
The Alamo Bowl, which will be played Dec. 30 at the Alamodome in San Antonio, pits a Big 12 member against a Big Ten squad.
K-State fans most certainly remember the Alamo. Despite being ranked fourth in the nation, the 1998 Wildcats plummeted to that bowl, which is fourth in the Big 12 hierarchy, after losing in overtime to Texas A&M in the Big 12 championship. Unranked Purdue upset K-State, 37-34, when Drew Brees completed a 24-yard pass to Isaac Jones with 30 seconds remaining.
:barf:
-
Alamo here we come!!
(Go ISU, ku, Texas!)
-
We need ku to beat mizzou.
Rock chalk
-
we beat ku they beat Mizzou we go to alomo!
-
The 98 game notwithstanding, the Alamo was a great time. The riverwalk is sweet!
-
I'd still rather go to Tempe. Give me beautiful Arizona over dusty old Texas any day.
I know the matchup would be better at the Alamo, but I don't care. I hate the alamo bowl. and i hate everything texas*. warm arizona would be a great trip in the middle of freezing december.
*except the recruits that come up to play for kansas state.
-

recruits mean every thing we are going to the alomo
-
Alamo vs. Penn State?
That would kick ass.
-
The Alamo Bowl would be the best case scenario. There is absolutely no doubt about it.
Bigger national stage for recruiting with an ESPN national broadcast (110 million households}, Texas recruiting, better opponent from the Big 10, bigger payout, more money invested into the team and fan events for the schools.
Outside of the BCS, The Alamo is one of the best ones out there.
San Antonio is a great town and the teams get treated extremely well.
Any bowl will be a great reward for the team, but comparing apples to apples, there's no comparison between the Alamo and the Insight.
BTW: There's a poll on the Alamo Bowl's website predicting which Big XII team will play in the bowl. Right now we're trailing A&M and Mizzou. Go Vote the Cats!

Which would you prefer.....
Independence vs. Alabama or
Holiday vs. Cal
Me personally I'd say the Independence because we've been to the Holiday so much. We do recruit alot in California so a trip to the Holiday would be fine though.

Shreveport blows. I doubt we'll go to the Holiday Bowl, although that's a great game. If we beat ku on Saturday, then we may have a shot at the Alamo Bowl, especially if Mizzou drops one of their last two games. If we win Saturday, we'll at least tie for second in the North. Nebraska/Texas/OU will head to the BCS game, the loser will go Cotton, and the 2nd place South team will go Holiday. That would leave us with a good shot at the Alamo Bowl--although I could see them trying to go with aTm instead.
Should be interesting to see it all shake out.
-
I think the chances are very high for Alamo, Insight, or Independence. With a win in Lawrence, we'll be in the mix with aTm and MU to go to one of those 3 IMO.
An aTm loss to UT would mean 3 losses in their last 4. With a fan base already after their coach, their prospects of traveling well, even within the state, won't be good.
MU could win their last 2, which along with their head to head win, could bump them over us. That should be interesting to watch. Plus, they've been to the Independence 2 out of the last 3 years.

We are in the lead now.
Given the choice I'd rather see us play in the Alamo bowl. Better for recuiting, better national exposure, more alumni in Texas than Arizona, 3 hr drive from my house.
-
3 hr drive from my house.
Just admit that that's the main reason.

Independence vs. South Carolina
-
The Big 12 champion gets a bid to the BCS, and it will be the Fiesta Bowl this year because there will be no team playing for the national championship. Also, look for the Cotton or Holiday to take the Big 12 title-game loser.
-
OU will get the one that NU doesn't get (cotton or holiday). After that is between us, moo, and aTm. aTm will lose this week. Alamo is virually a lock if the chickens beat moo.
-
According to the KC Star.....
The Alamo, Sun, Insight, Independence and Texas Bowls are possibilities.
The Sun wasn't interested in us until we beat Texas and now they're very interested. They list a possible opponent as either Oregon or Oregon State.
The Texas Bowl really wants us but doesn't think we'll be available by the time they choose (I don't think so either).
The Alamo is "very" interested as well.
The Insight Bowl and Independence Bowl are both sending people to the K-State vs. ku game. Purdue and Iowa are both on the Insight Bowl radar as well as Indiana and Minnesota IF they become bowl eligible. The Independence Bowl is also looking at Oklahoma State and Texas Tech. The possible opponent could be either Alabama or Kentucky.
-
The Shreveport paper interviewed someone from the Independence Bowl the other day. He said they'd like to have KSU but we won't be available by the time they pick.
-
That puts us no lower then the Insight Bowl.
-
Cotton Bowl? Dennis Dodd of CBS Sportsline said he told Prince this week that based on what he's hearing.....Don't count out the Cotton Bowl as long as we win tomorrow!!!!!
WOW!!!!! :nahnah:
-
Did he say this in an article or was he on the radio somewhere?
-
He's on "Crunch Time" on 810 AM every Friday morning.
Cotton vs. LSU
Now that's Bold and Daring baby!!!!! :beerchug:

and we would get absolutely slaughtered. I'll take my Alamo Bowl against Iowa and beat the piss out of the Hawkeyes.
-
I know that everybody is disappointed about last night but I felt better once I read in today's Manhattan Mercury that the loss won't hurt us so much in terms of bowl standing because Missouri also lost. :hope:
-
I still think we have a great shot at the Alamo and am beginning to think that is our most likely destination.
-
Insight.com, Alamo, Poinsetta.... any one of em and I'll play golf till I'm fried.
I know we have locals in the Phoenix/Tempe area. Do we have any BB posters who are locals in San Antonio? San Diego?
-

I thought so too until I saw this.....

Independence vs. either Kentucky or Alabama anyone?????
-
These things change every week.
The Alamo does not want Missouri.
-
The Gator Bowl picks before the Alamo Bowl. How would we feel about a Gator Bowl vs. Clemson, West Virginia or Boston College?

if we woulda beat ku we'd be in the Gator, but thats not gonna happen
-
Fitz just said during basketball pregame that he thinks we're headed to the Insight Bowl and there's just a slim chance we could go to the Holiday Bowl.
-
So when do we officially find out???
-
December 3
-
According to today's Wichita Eagle.....
The Texas Bowl is going to take Oklahoma State. It sounds like ku would have been a lock for the Insight Bowl had they won yesterday but since they didn't they aren't. That probably means that it's between KSU and Texas Tech for the Insight, Alamo or MAYBE Sun Bowl.
I think it's more likely now that we're headed to San Antonio.
:hope:
-
we just need gator to pick up texas. who does the gator get to choose from?
-
Big East #2, Notre Dame, or Big XII #4
-
According to MSNBC, you guys are likely to end up in the Motor City Bowl.

This must not be completely up to date though, as he still shows Texas as going to the Fiesta Bowl.

Insight seems to be the top one being tossed around at this point.

The Insight Bowl wants Missouri but they are expected to fall no further then the Sun Bowl. Please.....NOT the Insight Bowl. :hope:

Alamo Bowl spokesman Rick Hill recently said K-State and Tech were the front-runners to play in the San Antonio game Dec. 30, but he added that Mizzou would jump into the mix with an impressive showing against ku. Some also have suggested that Texas (9-3), which seemed destined for the BCS only two weeks ago, could fall to the Alamo if the Gator Bowl passes on the Longhorns.
One factor that could benefit K-State is that Iowa and Texas Tech have met twice in the Alamo since 1996. Officials may be leery of pitting the two against each other a third time.
Oklahoma State (6-6) likely will be sent to Shreveport, La., for the Independence Bowl.
