re: Which bowl game do you want to go

I actually don't want Texas. I don't think we match up well with them. Also I really, really, really want to win this bowl game. Texas is playing better and improving, so I don't think that game is a slam dunk for us. (this is the thinking that gets us in trouble in the bowl games)

I want a team that we can obliterate.

Give me Cincinnati, Houston, UCF, Maryland, BYU, W. Michigan, Utah, USC, etc.

Meh, they're playing better defensively, but they're still very much a down team in a weak conference. The only team they've played that resembles what we do in any way, shape or form was Kansas State, and they got obliterated. They've won 4 of their last 5, but that's against Iowa State, Tech, West Virginia, and OSU, and they sport a combined record of 17-26.

In terms of winability, I'd actually rather play a down big name like Texas than an overachieving, hungry non-AQ team. That, and the worst playcalling I've ever seen almost got us beat the last time we played in the Liberty Bowl.
