If TN goes to the GB, would it make you feel better if I send you a postcard or GB shirt?

Tennessee being a top 10 program historically and having one of the largest fanbases in the country would explain our national brand.

South Carolina is trying to play their way out of a Chick Fil A invite.

I don't know. Maybe never. When was the last time the west was this much better than the east. Oh, probably never. How many times are you gonna ask that question?

Who has Tennessee or Florida beat better than we have??? Both have worse records than we do.

If you want to blame somebody for us forgetting our place blame Dan Mullen.

It really all comes down to the Outback Bowl. If they defy logic and select Florida, then the GB will select UT.

Dale just likes to be a dick sometimes. Fact is, a lot of people think State deserves better but it's out of their hands. Congrats on a good season

Mississippi State finished 5th in the west but hell there are only 8 other theams in the nation better or as good as the 4 teams above us and NONE of them are in the SEC east.

Where is all of the hate coming from?

The 2003 Tennessee team disagrees. The Vols were 10-2 and ranked #7 in the BCS


We were the SEC WEst champs. 2003 UT was nothing other than a 10-2 team. You were destroyed in the bowl game. We destroyed Miami.

Who got screwed worse?

Gotta give credit where credit is due. I don't hate State. I have too many State buddies to hate them. I wish ya'll well in whatever bowl you go to.

What hate? I'm explaining to you if you want to get to one of the bowls you listed, finish higher the 5th in the west.

Are you wanting people to feel sorry for you? You are not the first or will you be the last that has this happen to them.

Arkansas one the west, lost in the SEC-C, and had a Carquest bowl to look forward too. We had the same record as Auburn, beat them head to head and were "rewarded" the Liberty bowl while they were able to go to the Outback. It happens, get over it.

Why does Tennessee get a better Bowl than UGA, yall finished with Idenical records and Georgia beat yall head up like a drum. ??????



Money.

We finished ahead of Auburn last year in the SEC, but they went to the Outback Bowl and we went to the Chick-Fil-A Bowl, because Auburn promised to sell out the stadium.

It happens.

USCe just may be playing their way out of the OP scenario and you right back where you need to be.

49 points is going to weigh heavy in some committees minds

Why the hell didn't we just give Newton his damn money? We sure as hell wouldn't be in this predicament. We would either be going to a BCS bowl or getting the death penalty. Im building a time machine and going back. I'll take my chances.

I guess this just makes up for your trip to ATL when the SEC West pretty much sucked.
