not the warmest but a bowl game is a bowl game

Love it! Interesting that Ubben doesn't believe in either school from the Sunflower State.

Not as good as San Diego or San Antonio or Dallas, but I'll take any bowl game at this point.

I'm moving to the twin cities come November... How fitting will it be for me to reverse my travel plans back to NYC over the holidays?

**Max57** · 09-11-2011, 11:17 AM

Cold, expensive, hard to get to, ... but I'll take it.

Not figuring the 6 wins needed and just looking at filling the bowls, at this point there is really no question that we are better than the two Kansas schools. Missouri, who I predicted all along was going to have problems this season, looks like they might be a winnable game for us. And I'm sorry, but Texas and Texas Tech really haven't impressed me yet.

Texas rallied at home to beat a team that didn't even finish in the upper half of the MWC last season. Texas Tech had a good second half against Texas St., but Wyoming only put up 5 fewer points against Texas St. this weekend and allowed just as many points. Texas St is a very very bad team and that Tech was down at the half is concerning if your a Tech fan.

Pain in the A....Thats how I feel about NYC. Not too mention way to expensive expecially that time of year.

December 31st games in places like Boise and New York seem more like punishment rather than reward.

How does it sound? Expensive. Cold. Awesome.

Would I go? Would be a hell of a lot tougher sell than going to Tempe.

Yeah.. great for our team if they make a bowl, but i dont know if i'll be spending my cash to take a winter vacation somewhere cold.

with the new schedule I have a hard time seeing 8 teams getting to 6 wins.

One of the reasons the 9 game schedule sucks. Automatically forces more conference team losses by making them beat up on each other instead of teams from other conferences.
