HuskerfaninOkieland Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Pretty soon there is going to be so many bowl games there won't be enough eligible teams to fill the slots unless they start selecting teams with losing records. Guess there's hope for Baylor yet. Quote Link to comment

I like you"re best GBR football team, but I can only be true fan of TAR Tiger"s. I liked to see GBR play best games again OU Sooner back in the old BIG8. Which were top drawer teams in the country and played top gasmes. I think you"ll ride the pikle again soon with the new Coach Bo that is getting it back to old days. Of that i can bring out the: for you"re enjoy. Plus also I will not say what I can think of KU on you"re web. Or KSU or other team I don"t like. TuffTiger Quote Link to comment

Cy the Cyclone Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Great...only 15 more bowls to go and ISU will finally have a chance to be bowl eligible.... Hah...a bowl in Washington DC. The first team to actually make it to the stadium without suffering a gun shot wound is automatically declared the winner. Quote Link to comment

Danimal Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Ridiculous that we are getting even more bottom-tier bowls but they won't give the fans so much as a plus-one format to name a national champ. Quote Link to comment
shyndy Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 IMO they need to make some bowls in cold weather areas too. And Champ games and Super Bowls need to stop pussin out. Have that stuff at green bay or something, football is an outdoor sport. Quote Link to comment

There would need to be about 25 more bowl games added for Baylor to get into one. Quote Link to comment
