More bowls have diluted the intent of what it was in the first place.

I didn't mean it like that man. Not one of these ATL or bust guys.

Was referring to the new landscape where we already get millions from the SEC so the payout doesn't really mean anything and unless its a super ideal location for our fans, you're splitting hairs when talking about most of these bowls.

Obviously NY6 is ideal but beyond that, doing bowl projections in October like we used to, is pretty pointless.

I gotcha. Yeah in that case it's completely moot. The split's the same no matter what anyway.

Give me Houston and the Texass Bowl anytime.

Nashville sucks too, unless you enjoy country music.

Beale isn't as bad as folks make it out to be.

Have been multiple times without major incident.

The last time we played there, went to the UofA party on Beale, had dinner at Dyers, hit up the hard rock, saw Tora Tora at the Orph. theater, stayed at the marriott, went to the press luncheon and met most of the players/coaches, mike slive, espn folks.... and saw the game from the suite.

On the way home stopped at the best BBQ in Memphis the next day. good time for all of us!

Yes the new country sucks but the old and classic country was legit.

I would like to visit the museums such as the one for Johnny Cash.

Maybe it’s just me, but after the last 4 years, it brings a smile to my face that we’re not only talking about a bowl game but picking nits over which one would be more desirable.

Such a welcome experience after basically having our football season over by mid-October from 2017 to 2019.

Did we make it to mid-October in 2019 or was it basically over by mid-September?

We knew you would be chiming in and white knighting for the Liberty/Simmons Bowl. We’ve heard it all before. Got to get the proceeds from your hot chocolate stand.

Uh no, that would be your head sales clerk at the hot chocolate stand. I was always told you ran a first class operation.
