Pathetic Big 12 bowls
Do people agree that the Big 12's bowl lineup sucks bad? The last 3 bowls are absolute jokes!
My ideal bowl lineup would look like this
#1----BCS-Doesn't really matter
#2----Cotton
#3----Outback
#4----Alamo
#5----Sun
#6----Holiday
#7----Armed Forces
#8----Las Vegas
Feel free to add your own...it really doesnt make any sense to me that the Big 10, which sucks, has such great bowls.

We need to drop the Pinstripe bowl ASAP. We also need a bowl in Florida every year.

Re: Pathetic Big 12 bowls
The Gator bowl was a nice bowl. We should trade the Pinstripe for the Gator bowl to play an SEC team. Didn't the Big 12 used to play in the Gator Bowl? Whatever happened to that?

Re: Pathetic Big 12 bowls
What's so bad about the last 3 bowls?
-Houston in an NFL stadium, NYC, and the old Cotton bowl in Dallas
Look at some others' last 3 bowls
Pac: San Fran, Las Vegas, Albequerque
SEC: Memphis, Birmingham, Shreveport
B10: Houston, Heart of Dallas bowl, Detroit (looks very similar to B12)
Acc: Shreveport, DC, San Fran
I don't really see how our last 3 are any worse. And as far as the high end bowls go, the B12 doesn't have the gigantic fan bases like the B10 or SEC to pull in bowls like the Outback or Capital One in Florida when there are great bowl games in Texas.

Re: Pathetic Big 12 bowls
I think the NCAA should make it a rule that you can't just throw the name of your company on a bowl. There has to be another name, related to the location or something. Meineke Car Care bowl of Texas, Kraft Fight Hunger, Russell Athletic bowl are just terrible names.

Houston and Dallas aren't bad, I don't mind those. However, NYC is not a good bowl destination in the winter. 95% of people would rather go to Florida in the winter than NYC. And by 95%, I mean 99%. And by 99%, I really mean 100%.

(I had a daydream that Hostess was a bowl sponsor yesterday btw - idk what it means, someone consult a dream book.)

Re: Pathetic Big 12 bowls
They are the last 3 bowls for a reason. If you only go .500 should you go to a good bowl?

Little Debbie Dallas Bowl on the other hand I could like!

Re: Pathetic Big 12 bowls
It's not Big Ten or SEC level but it is only slightly behind PAC 12.

I read it as you wanted the company names to go away. You just want the bowl names reworded so they sound better to you.
