Well the situation isn't reversed. They had a better league record. That's a fact. Don't know why people are losing their marbles when they wouldn't go to the game anyway. Hell most bitching don't go to the games any damn way. And financially it's little difference.

But we were ahead in the voting.

What exactly did Paul Jones say about this and who told him?

If we had the same sec record as aTm, we'd be in a NY6 bowl. Oh well, Memphis is probably the only game I'd attend anyway, so bring it on

What’s this financial difference? We sell out every bowl game. The stadium can only hold so many. If you’re talking TV rankings then maybe I understand. Still, not sure how many fans outside Sec are interested in aTm. I never watched an aTm game other than vs Texas before they joined the sec, and that was only if nothing else was on.

It's the point that everyone is sick and tired of getting 17ed by the same bowl year in and year out.

We have not sold out every bowl game

Guy on SPS who says he has a Liberty Bowl contact said the guy told him that as of yesterday A&M was a lock for the Outback but this afternoon the Outback bowl director was torn again between us and A&M.

For the 700th time for those of you that can't read, like yourself, we don't have the same LEAGUE record. They have a better one. It's a fact. And had they played KSU instead of Clemson, they would have a better overall record. But let's not let facts get in the way.

We were setting records until we started going to the same bowl every year.

The Outback bowl needs to do what is right and Sankey needs to make sure they do.
Yes A&M played Clemson but they also played South Carolina while we played Florida.

Reverse resumes, who do they pick?
You've yet to answer this question.

We played Florida and they played South Carolina.

Correct. Nowhere near. Didn't even attend the Orange Bowl well as I recall.
One thing going for us to get the Outback is that we're physically closer; but their school is 3 times as big as us and probably has more alumni and fans in Florida than we do.

I didn’t realize it was all about conference record. I thought it was overall record. I guess I misunderstood. Stop being such a douche. You need some vagisil.
And it’s also a fact we are a much better team than them. Game was never close and we got better after that.

Don't the bowls have picking order? If it is Music City or Liberty I chose Liberty.

Although I hope it doesn't happen, I can see A&M getting the Outback over us. What I can't see is the Citrus picking UK over A&M causing A&M to drop to the Outback. They have the same conference record, A&M beat them head to head, played a tougher schedule (Bama, Clemson) and every loss is to a team going bowling. UK got the hell beat out of them by 5-win UT. Plus, a much larger national footprint and fan following in football.
