Missouri is so ass, they have no business in a bowl, eff that four eyed, loudmouth nerd. I hope Florida beats their ass on Saturday.

Saw this in kstatesports' sales email today, and I hadn't before seen so plainly how shitty it is.

That's why we need to stick to BCS bowl games.

I learned that there's a separate place called University Park, TX today.

Confirmed that the First Responders Bowl is essentially right across the street from my place. If I'm in town, and the Cats get placed there, pre-game party at my place.

A Cheez-It Bowl invite is the Big 12's highest honor. I am fine with this.

If the Holiday was still part of it, especially at the expense of something in TX, it would look a lot better.

I know the Alamo Bowl is at a higher tier and I'm sure San Antonio is fine for a few days, but the word Alamo always makes me think of dirt and mud and sullies the whole thing.  Similar to how I won't watch Breaking Bad.

I’ve never understood the hate for the large number of bowl games. I’m all for having enough bowls that every team plays in one. Give me Tulane vs UConn in the Badlands Mutual Insurance Fargo Bowl at 2pm on a Tuesday. All these games are meaningless anyways, just give all the teams a couple more weeks of practice and the diehard fans another chance to watch their team play.

Hell, try to grow the game. KU vs Arizona in Edmonton or Monterrey anyone?

Yeah, or at least for us we IMO don't have a lot of fun ACC/Big 10/Pac 12 tie ins, and like 3 vs the SEC, one of which is cool with the sugar, the other two are semi gross in Texas Bowl and super gross in Liberty Bowl.

I just want more CA and FL and less Texas oriented crap

We had a great run with the Fiesta/Cotton/Alamo/Holiday/17 different named Arizona Bowl Before moving to a dog crap baseball stadium B12 bowl affiliation line-up.

The bowl line-up sucks now & I used to wish we would have changed it up, but now I’m not really sure what I wish they would have changed it to. The Holiday Bowl is in a baseball stadium now. We were never getting the NYD Florida BigTen/SEC bowls. After those games, the SEC bowls look similar to ours except with our local Houston/Dallas/San Antonio replaced with their local similar cities they’re all tired of too. Changing it up without affiliations sounds good, but after a minute I don’t think I’d be anymore excited if we swapped out the Texas Bowl with a 12/30 2:00pm Music City Bowl in Nashville.

The one thing that does suck is there’s 2 P5vP5 bowls in Vegas & the Big12 is the only P5 conference without a Vegas Bowl affiliation.

all of the companies who make plates need to band together and sponsor the plate bowl
plates have been ignored for too long in this process (and it’s their own fault)

I think every bowl game outside of the NY6 should allow anyone to apply. Like, maybe they have some pretty strict requirements, but anyone that meets those and wants in should have their powerpoint presentation ready.

Any bowl that's outside of Florida, New Orleans, and California sucks ass and should be eliminated immediately.

I would go to a bowl game in Jamaica. Actually I would just go to Jamaica and not the bowl game.
