I'm pretty disappointed that the Buffaloes aren't going to the Cotton Bowl. I wanted us to finish with a bowl game we could win, based on the last 2 games (where it looks like other teams have completely figured out how to shut down our offense [eliminate running lanes and force our lovely qb to try to beat them through the air, which he can't]), Western Michigan is the only team near our rank that we have a chance to not get blown out by.

Okie State gonna run a train on us :ohdear:

Counterpoint: OKST's defense is much, much worse than Utah's and Washington's.

Counter counterpoint: you saw how lovely our qb is at throwing the ball. Washington's defense is legit but I wasn't sold on Utah's secondary before or after the game. We had receivers running wide open down the field all night in that game and our qb consistently missed them. Anyway, congrats on the playoffs, make the Pac 12 look good against Alabama!

I went to Legion Field several years ago for a USF/ECU bowl game and holy poo poo what a dump.

I've been to two bowl games, the Papajohns.com Bowl at Legion Field and the magicJack St. Petersburg Bowl in the Trop. I have no idea what a good bowl game is.

Houston starts the season as Group of 5 frontrunner, ends it in the Las Vegas Bowl. No wonder Herman bailed early.

And that SDSU running back is going to grind us into the turf, as well.

E: I can't figure out if sending Texas A&M to Houston is a reward for the fans or a punishment for the team.

Yeah I know. They can't go to the Holiday because they've been too often recently or something, so Minnesota would jump them. Somehow that rule does not prevent Iowa from going to its fifth Outback Bowl since 2003. but iowa's AD is campaigning hard for Tampa, which makes sense because it is the Kirk Ferentz of Bowl destitinations.

Does appearing in Florida for the bowl game give much of a recruiting bump?

Were originally scheduled for a home-and-home this year and next, but Tennessee asked to delay it, presumably for the Bristol Bowl. We got Oregon to fill the spot, so all's well that etc.

who could even tell with our classes

We recruit Florida more than California but we barely recruit it these days and kirk doesn't give enough of a poo poo about recruiting to push for that. It's almost definitely because there are more old Iowans in Florida to attend the game than there are in California, and I think flights to Florida are cheaper.

The best Bacardi Bowls are the ones where they only invited one American team, to play against a team made up of random Cuban nobodies, and the American team lost anyway.

e: also lol apparently one time in the 40's Alabama's second string played a game against the University of Havana in early November. Old football was so weird.
