Cotton Bowl

[Pete]

True Cotton Bowl story for you...

In 1996, a young Limestone and a young Pete were about to board a flight from KC to Love field on New Year's eve, in route to the Southwester Bell Cotton Bowl the following morning.

Welp, the flight got delayed by a a couple hours, so we had to get super drunk in the mexican themed bar in KCI.  Limestone and I ended up leading several renditions of the KSU fight song and Alma Mater in the isle at 30,000 feet.  The flight staff was very understanding.

Pete, now tell us what happens if the unimaginable occurs and we lose to Texas in the CTR, but beat ISU and finish 9-3, while Texas beats us and Baylor, but loses to A&M and finishes 8-4.

Does a K-State team with a better comference record and higher BCS ranking get passed for the Cotton?

I think I know the answer but need confirmation.

See guys, this is why we need to go back to the Cotton Bowl.

I would share my memories of the Dallas Medieval Times, but it wouldn't really compare.

If OU beats OSU, I think OU and OSU could be in the BCS.  However, if OSU gets passed up by the BCS, Cotton will surely pick them.

If OSU beats OU, a two loss OU team gets picked by the Cotton Bowl, IMO.


Unfortunately, I don't really see how we get into the Cotton unless we win out and BOTH of the Oklahoma schools go to the BCS.  

If OSU goes to the NC, wouldn't OU go Fiesta?

No, jfc people...the big 12 is not guaranteed two spots and another OU loss could have them on the outside looking in.  OU beating OSU is our best bet at securing the Cotton.

Another true Cotton Bowl story for you.

A young Pete's younger sister relayed him a sordid tale the morning of the game, how our super star cornerback was out very, very late the night before the game having quite the time.  That super star cornerback went on to seriously cramp up during the early morning game and be off the field while we battled BYU's potent passing attack.

Cotton takes Texas, but we have a very, very nice time at the River Walk.  At which, Tortuga falls in the river.

Assuming that 2 BCS spots go to Stanford (or 3 loss ND team that beats Stanford) and Alabama, please rank the following teams and tell me what 2 teams the Fiesta, Orange, and Sugar would pick over a 2 loss OU team:

a) 2 loss VaTech or 2 (or 3) loss Clemson (outside BCS top 10)
b) 2 loss BigTen team that didn't play in their CCG (currently outside BCS top 15)
c) 1 loss Boise St (outside BCS top 10)
d) 2 loss OU (currently BCS 6th and wouldn't drop out of BCS top 10 unless blown out OSU)
e) 3 loss BigTen CCG loser.

We owned that flight, and that trip, like a couple of bosses.

If we go again, I can almost guarantee a similar sequence of events.

True story: When we went to the Cotton Bowl in 2001, it was abnormally cold for Texas. Like, pretty fricking cold. Two of my cousins and I were in middle school and we painted the letters "K", "S" AND "U" on our chests (I got the "S" for Stevesie) and everyone was so impressed with us that all the DFW news stations recorded us so that when they showed clips from the game that night they all included us, always with a comment like "Those wild wildcat fans are so wild!"

Was at that game.   Took no cold weather clothes, so wore t-shirt and shorts in the snow.   Got awful drunk at Gators (?) a dueling piano bar.   Laughed our asses off at a Tenn fan paying $100 for the piano guy to play Rocky Top, then having a KSU fan pay $1 for him to stop 3 notes in...

If OSU wins out, they are in the NC game. If OU loses two (OSU and another) that opens us up to the Fiesta. Either way, if OSU wins out and we don't blow it in Austin or Manhattan, I think we are Cotton bound. Fiesta will take a two loss OU.

[O-town Kat]

OU are tapped out w/the Fiesta.  If we beat UT, warm up the flying tortillas for the ISU game mothereffers. (presuming OSU win out)

if fiesta is smart, they are sick of ou. they will take ksu.

Cotton and Fiesta fighting over us.

in august, I was hoping for ticket city or insight

[wetwillie]

state of oklahoma conspiring to keep cats out of the Cotton.  Might just backfire into a Fiesta invite.

hell, the Sugar may need a some what local team to buy a lot of tickets if we get Game of the Century 2.0

I think we really need Houston to take a loss if we want to go BCS bowling. We do have an outside shot either way, though.

Houston has to play @Tulsa to end the regular season, and S. Miss in the CUSA champ (if they beat Tulsa) so they're not a lock to win out.
