Whelp, no shot at the Outback. Pack your bags for Memphis possibly Nashville.

[maroonmania]

Honestly, it doesn’t matter if it’s the outback or the maxi pad bowl. Anything less than a NY6 bowl was a failure with this team. We lost at least 2 games we shouldn’t have and now we will suffer the consequences. I’m going to the game regardless, unless it’s in Memphis, but carry on.

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.

If we were 5-3 in the league and they were 4-4 and he same thing happened you would complain and I would side w you. I normally enjoy your posting, but we will agree to disagree, I'm done with this one. Now start another thread about something else.

It really has nothing to do with their conference record. It was more about getting that 8th win.

[Goldendawg]

You're not getting it. When the conference is stating that the Outback, Gator, Music City, Liberty, and Texas Bowls are all on the same level, why is the Outback getting preference?

If we make less money for the Outback, then your just pushing the less money to Music City, which they say is equal.

The entire system is a complete joke. MSU fans should boycott the bowl game whenever it is, unless it's the Outback.

Many of these lower tier bowls are so poorly attended that it looks like a boycott already. Corporate sponsors and TV & are big $.

[Goldendawg]

Wow, the Liberty would be a kick in the snardlies, the Liberty Bowl itself has become a real dump.

Have you checked to see if there is a rock concert at the Mid South Coliseum or 'rasslin there the night before the game? Oh, never mind.****

[Liverpooldawg]

I personally put the Liberty right above the B'ham Bowl. If you don't make the playoffs or NY6, one of the best things you get from a lower bowl is a chance for one more win and especially the extra practice time for the team.

Liberty has upped its payout. It's an SEC/Big 12 tie in now. The caliber of opponent there will most likely be higher than Nashville or possibly even the Outback.

If the Liberty wants to be taken seriously, they need a better venue. It’s a crime infested city with good eats. You might get shot, but them ribs....

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

[Jack Lambert]

I think it's a draw at best. They went 5-3 in the league. We played them at home I think sec record counts

They lost to Auburn. They only played four road games we played five. We played more teams in the final CFP rankings. We are ranked higher, we have the same over all record and we beat them head to head. we played LSU on the road and they played them at home. Switch it around we probably win and they probably lose or swap SC for Florida and we are 5-3.

The facts remain we will get screw.

[Goldendawg]

It only sucks because we are a better team than A&M. We?ve proven that. But the bowl gives their preference, the SEC usually works it out, and our school has a preference too. It?s all about money for the bowl cities and ticket sales. Ain?t nobody wanting teams from MS. We po as hell!

Not me! Already got a second mortgage on the double-wide and pulling the V8 out of my old Chevy pickup for a V6 to buy less gas for the trip!

[Cooterpoot]

And I like Memphis to a point. I mean the food is second to New Orleans, but that’s about it. I enjoyed our last bowl game there. But the city itself is a bigger Jackson.

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.

MSU deserved the Outback bowl

A trip to Nashville is 10x better than Memphis.

[Johnson85]

Who in the hell would be getting the Texas? A&M is really the only team we're competing against that a bowl committee would get excited about as far as name recognition and fan base size. We're competing against Missouri, U.K., USCe, vandy. Worst case scenario lsu too just because they refuse to let 4 sec schools in the NY6. 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.

You Lie! All State fans drink.

But, but that Mo. school fits in so well and has so much in common with so many SEC schools.

[Liverpooldawg]

Nashville is a blast. Great trip.

It's still 10x better. Much nicer surroundings.
