My thoughts exactly. Plus Tulsa is probably much better than Purdue or Minnesota anyways.

You know...we really have 3 pretty crappy Bowl options...LOL.

HOD: Bad TV, Opponent we likely played just 3yrs ago in a bowl
Liberty: Opponent we already played this year, non-AQ opponent
Independence: ULM on their home turf, non-AQ opponent, Shreveport

Memphis sucks. It is the Detroit of the South. It's a nasty city with nothing to do and the BBQ isn't all that good. The two halfway good one is the Commissary, and it's not that good. I'll pass on Memphis.

the bad thing is also is with the B1G and SEC going to 14/16 they are going to be looking for even more/ better bowl tie ins

Yea I would agree with this about Memphis. The BBQ is way overrated and also couldn't seem to get around the city without hobos following you and wanting to give your car a spit wash.

Just can't believe the voters would be so stupid to not help OU. Do they not realize how god awful the BCS matchups will be if NIU makes it?

The voters don't care how good or bad the matchups are to fans. Just like they didn't care enough to prevent the SEC rematch last year.

OU just barely won the last three weeks. Baylor was playing better.

there's a small chance that the HoD bowl would pick ISU over Baylor...it's slight but I've heard that HoD is thinking hard between ISU or Baylor

Yep, if the Big 12 cannot get it with OU, we need to expand our influence.
