Yep, I keep asking myself, how in the heck does a team that only allowed 12 total TDs all year lose 4 freakin' games? Then I quickly remember that we actually had 4 different SEC games that we scored 7 points or less in. This was just about the oddest year I can ever remember us having in football.Quote:

Yep, its becoming only a small step above playing at Legion Field given the location.Quote:

Switch it around we probably win and they probably lose or swap SC for Florida and we are 5-3.Quote:

Say what you want, Nashville is a solid trip. Plenty of music and drinks. Pretty nice stadium too. Short ride is a plus.
Agree. It's the disrespect & point that we are fighting here.Quote:

Even then, unless the liberty is just begging for us and the sec throws them a bone, there's no reason for us to 'fall' to the liberty of our administration doesn't want to go there.
This is originally why I was against the last SEC expansion.
I don't drink alcohol, I don't party and I don't tail gate. In my case Liberty works better but I will make the trip to Nashville.Quote:

I don't lie about drinking alcohol. I got drunk once when I was 16 never tried any alcohol in any form since. I am now 53 and spent five years active duty in the Marine Corp. Trust me if the Marines didn't drive me to drink being a MSU fan will never. I am too strong mentally.Quote:

We beat THEM you moron. And we are ranked higher than them.Quote:

They got KY and LSU at home, we didn’t. We got FL, they got SC. They got ref help. We got ref raped. They got Clemson and lost. We got KSU and won. Hell, everybody knows we’re the better team. But money talks and bitching walks. It had nothing to do with conference record.
Let's assume we are in outback and Ohio st beats NW... Ohio st and Michigan in NY6, Penn st to citrus, so NW to outback?Quote:

Yeah I go to Nashville a couple times a year on business. Good city, lots of stuff to do, traffics not terrible, stadiums nice and easy to get to/get out of.Quote:

Liberty is about the same as Nashville, but shorter distance for most MSU fans. The Liberty team welcome party is to be held in the Big Bass Pro Pyramid Arena Store. I would love to attend that, but you have to put up some major bucks to get in. Beale St. is a lot of fun and the Grizz play the Boston Celtics on the Saturday night before the game on Monday. If a decent Big 12 opponent were to be selected, the Liberty might even be more attractive than the Music City. Still a few dominoes to fall though this coming weekend. I wouldn't count us out of any bowl below the Citrus just yet.
Paul is certainly not going to leak something that he doesn't have tangible evidence of. At least not typically.Quote:

Personally, I hate it for myself because it's a lot more inconvenient for me to try to go to Nashville but if that's where we go I'll try to make it.
Paul got his info from bowl reps. That’s what he said on 247
Music City is more fun than Outback.
Gator Bowl rep said they were pretty much going to get either A&M or South Carolina on Twitter. I don't know why you would choose South Carolina if that was the case.
If it's about building attendance in the bowls ...A&M in the Texas bowl should be a sell out any other team and that stadium will be empty...
