as in Sugar Bowl part 2 ?
I would love to take over the New Orleans Bowl.
I'd like to see ten tie-in's with Tampa, Miami, Orlando, Jax, Atlanta, Nashville, New Orleans, Charlotte, Houston, & Dallas. I don't have any issues with Memphis though.
No, As in New Orleans Bowl gets SEC tie in similar to Liberty and Compass.Quote:

I agree. The Vet in Jackson is nicer.Quote:

That's good for the Liberty Bowl- now that Memphis is no longer C-USA, there's really not much of a connection there anyway.Quote:

A 6-6 Big 12 team is usually worse than the C-USA champ, but beating a Big 12 team is better for perception.
