I will be cheering for my bulldogs against UCF. Emotions will be running high from Miss. State in that game.

BC should be in the Chick-fil-A bowl... it's too bad we have very few fans in this country.

the outback bowl should be enjoyable

The International Bowl is the worst of them all. Sucks for all the Canadians they have to see 2 crap teams.

Post #9 » by **TMU** » Mon Dec 3, 2007 3:03 am

LOL @ the Gaylord Hotels Music City Bowl... that has the word GHEY all over it.

Michigan - Florida should be a good one.

The International Bowl is not the worst of all. It's just going to be really one-sided. It was pretty fun to watch last year.

The Emerald Bowl is going to be the worst. Completely one-sided and mistake-filled.

If Air Force beats Cal, it's not an upset. Air Force should win.

Capital One bowl will generate more revenue than most BCS bowls out there. Outback Bowl is the best matchup, followed by cotton bowl and chick-fil-a.

tonight i found out my cousin's grandpa (on his other side) will be working at the independence bowl (alabama vs. colorado) he used to be a college ref and now gets paid to review refs and recommend the ones from lesser conferences for promotion (i think the refs for that game will be from the WAC)

and since alot of my family went to alabama, we're getting tickets from him (maybe in a suite where he sits hopefully) so that'll be fun getting to see alabama. i got to see them 2 years ago at the cotton bowl when they beat texas tech, hopefully they'll be able to win the game and sorta save there season after collapsing after the lsu game.

i wonder if my friends that goto missouri will be attending the cotton bowl since they live here in dallas, that crowd will be very pro arkansas (there's to many of them around here and they travel well) if they're going i might try and get a ticket for that.

Chick-fil-A Bowl is looking pretty good.

I really miss the Poulan Weed Eater Bowl.
:cry:

I bet Ball State beats Rutgers--they're ecstatic to be playing there, whereas Rutgers is disappointed. BSU gave Illinois and Indiana all they could handle. Check out their punter, he's probably the only P that's gonna be drafted next year. Ray Rice is gonna put up some pretty sick numbers though.

The Motor City Bowl is gonna be a real entertaining shootout. Watch my man Dan Lefevour, the 2nd QB in NCAA history to run and throw for 1000 yards in a season (Vince Young is the other). This kid is special, the next great MAC NFL QB.

Stewart Mandel at Sports Illustrated is calling the Cotton Bowl the third-best bowl game this year--pretty high praise for a non BCS bowl.
