    Bowl Possibilities?

    I'd like to get a start on planning. Anyone got a clue where we may be headed?

    I thought for some reason that bowl relationship ended this year, but I could be wrong.

    I know the Liberty Bowl was looking at us last weekend. FWIW.

    The Liberty Bowl would be my hope. We would be the Liberty's choice every time. I think Ole Miss falls to the Music City bowl now.

    Today's Clarion-Ledger...

    ..claims MSU is in the hunt for the Compass, Liberty & AdvoCare V100 (formerly the Independence Bowl).

    I suppose as of today, among coaches, Athletic Directors & school presidents there is a lot of political finagling taking place concerning bowl placement.

    I'm just glad we're bowl eligible. I let the experts work out the details.

    I thought i read where the BBVA and Liberty bowls swap who picks first every year, and this is the year the Liberty Bowl gets the first selection. They were at our last 2 games and know how well our fanbase will travel, I'm guessing we play in Memphis New Year's Eve.

    When in your lifetime did you think you would hear coming out of your mouth "I hope we get the weedwacker bowl!" Well...for you and me...today is the day.

    Advocare has a tie-in with the ACC.

    We'd probably play somebody like Rutgers or Boston College.

    Remember, ESPN has the ability to just jerk around the tie-ins if they think they can make better matchups and everyone still gets one. Remember a couple years ago when USM won CUSA, but went to Hawai'i instead, and ESPN sent 12-1 Houston to play Penn State, and then put Cincinnati in the Liberty Bowl instead of a CUSA team.


    It seems like there should be no way the Independence Bowl could get an SEC team, but we're officially selling tickets for it anyway. We must be anticipating that ESPN could give away the SEC's Liberty/BBVA bid to someone else for a matchup and send the last SEC team to the Independence.

    I vote for the Independence Bowl. I'd rather got to Shreveport than Memphis for sure. Birmingham is not awful, but Legion Field is a real shit hole.

    Really? And I've been to all three stadiums. None of them are in good parts of town.
