Bowl Games

Are you happy with where your team ended up?

Pitt in the Compass Bowl = Sad

Tennessee in any bowl = Smile

Oklahoma State in Alamo Bowl the day we get back from Chicago and my husband wanting to go so that means a mad dash from airport in Corpus to San Antonio = Indifferent

Re: Bowl Games

  • Nope!  Huskers are going to the Holiday Bowl where we went last year and are playing Washington who we played already this season and will play again next season.

  • We are pretty pleased with the Insight bowl v Iowa.  We would have much preferred the cotton bowl, however.

    We really want to go to the bowl game because 1/2 the family is from Missouri and the other 1/2 is from Iowa.  So it's going to be a family divided for Christmas.  :)  However, it's too expensive for us to get there so we will not be going ($500/person for plane tickets alone).

  • Cotton again would've been awesome - and so super convenient since I only live three hours away - but I'm happy with Alamo. Should be a good game.

    I decided not to go though. There are a ton of OKC Thunder games during that week that I would much rather go to [for free, probably] than spend the 8 hours in a car to get down there, money on a hotel/gas/tickets and 8 hours back. I know a lot of people who are going since San Antonio isn't too terribly far from here, so I'll cheer through them.

  • I'm happy with the Alamo Bowl simply for the fact that it's fairly easy travel... and because San Antonio is a fun place when it's filled with orange!

    Granted, I would have been even more stoked for a BCS bowl. Ah well...

    DH & I used to work in the athletics dept at OSU (him longer than me) and he's remained a fan. I know he'd like to meet up with a bunch of people at the game (and watch some football too) Smile

  • PSU in the the Outback Bowl....eh. I guess the fact that we're in any bowl is amazing after how we started the season! Now if we can just find away to win that would be incredible!

    yup...the most incredibly stupid match up ever!

  • Eh.  My team (Alabama) is playing Michigan State in the Capital One Bowl.  I'm obviously glad  they made it to a bowl game but given that they are the defending national champions, I was hoping for a better bowl bid.  However they have not had the season that we did last year. Oh well.
  • Spartans in the Capital One Bowl = it's two-sided.  Big Smile for a New Year's Day bowl against a great opponent (Alabama and our former coach!), but Angry that we aren't in the Rose Bowl after BEATING WISCONSIN AT HOME and having the highest opponents-winning-percentage (i.e. beating better teams) out of the 3 Big Ten teams tied for the conference title.

    But I'll take it!

  • TCU in the Rose Bowl is awesome.  One member of my house will be wearing TCU and another her Badger shirt. 

    NCSU is the Champs is okay.  We shouldn't have sucked so bad!

    This.  Nothing great but the fact we actually made a bowl this season, I'm happy. 

  • No (Independence Bowl in Shreveport, LA). Plane tickets are $900 a PERSON so we won't be going :(
  • TCU in the Rose Bowl! Love it! My parents will be there.

  • All of the Big East bowls suck. Why did the Gator Bowl drop us?

    The Holiday Bowl and Fiesta Bowl have to be the two most lopsided matchups this year.

  • I'm just glad that we get to play an SEC team.
