[exswoo]

Really liking the new bowl line-up - I'll root for which ever team comes up to SF bay area!

[Creighton Duke]

Will anyone in the conference NOT be going to a bowl game?

I like having the holiday bowl but not the kraft fight hunger bowl.

[topekahusker]

I like the Holiday Bowl a lot...the Kraft 'mac n cheese' Bowl is still a step up from the Pinstripe Bowl. What was Delany smoking with that gem of an addition?

[huKSer]

1) Holiday

2) Kraft

3) Pinstripe

4) Cap one

5) Outback

6) Gator

7) <3 of Dallas

8) That thing in Pasadena

9) BCS (or two)

Expected to add

10) Music City

11) Detroit Lions

 

That's a lot of bowls

Holiday is a great get and a real kick in the sack to the Big 12 losing that. Not sure why people don't like the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl? San Fran is another quality travel destination for fans. I could think of much worse places to end up for the bowl season. Well done Delany.

3 Florida Bowls(4 if you include the occasional Orange Bowl)

3 California Bowls

 

 

Very nice for recruiting.

Add the NY area also for recruiting with the Pinstripe. Those are 3 of the best areas there are.

This is what I was thinking too, even though I dont look at things too much from a recruiting standpoint. But this makes for a hell of a footprint. Imagine if we could nab a Texas Bowl or two.

We've got all areas covered

 

West(Pasadena, San Diego and Bay Area)

South(Miami, Tampa,Orlando)

Deep South(Nashville, Jacksonville)

Northeast(NYC)

Southwest(Dallas)

 

Not to mention the addition of the DC metro area that Maryland brings.

 

 

Great for recruiting but also for the fans and alumni in these locales.

Dallas is not in Texas??

 

However - if we fall low enough in the pecking order to get to Dallas - yuck

You do know for some of these bowls you covet so much we would have to do worse than 9-3 right? something like 7-5, etc.

Looks like the Heart of Dallas will be part of a 3/3 rotation with the Armed Forces bowl...and the Military Bowl might also be added in DC.

It's not about Nebraska. It's about the Big 10. This is a Big 10 discussion.
