Liberty Bowl

bet we buyout of the return trip to Tulsa

I hope so. Biggest obstacle other than cost would be finding a new opponent on short notice, but surely some zombie-wac team would come take a paycheck.

We haven't been to many bowl games, but I have a hard time caring even a little about this one.

In reality, we don't deserve to go to a bowl.

I'll take the extra practices, though.

How the hell can you say that? Top 10 SOS and 6-6 record....

ESPN vs ESPNU...pretty easy decision which is better for exposure. I hate the Tulsa part but 2:30 on ESPN on new years eve is pretty great exposure.

kicked in the nuts again , **** Tulsa

I have never been to Memphis, but I hear that its a pretty rough city

Predictions on the opening line? I have no idea

[alarson]

Tailgate lots open at 8am their website says.

I love how people act so entitled. We are a 6-6 team and finished 9/10 in the Big 12. With all that considered, Memphis is not a bad option.

Its not Memphis, Memphis is sweet... Its Tulsa, just stupid. No one wants a rematch, and esp since we play them early next season. Its not a hated rival or anything. Just bad. If we win, no one is excited.

Tulsa -1.5

Geniuses in scheduling dept.... Awsome....stupid pundits, all had us pegged for Dallas.

ISU -1.5 is my guess

[Dryburn]

Come on people! Stop whining! I can understand about being disappointed in playing a team ISU already beat. But to be crying about going to the Liberty Bowl, or going to Memphis, or a Dec. 31st bowl is just ridiculous. ISU is the 9th place team in a 10-team conference. A very deep conference, but still.

Some of you sound like you would be happier if ISU still had Louisiana Tech's AD so he could turn the bowl down.

Be happy......ISU is going to a bowl game for the 3rd time in the last 4 years, and in another year where ISU was picked to win maybe 3 or 4 games by most.

[Tre4ISU]

Riiiiiiiiight. Because 6-6 in the most ridiculously deep conference is terrible. Minnesota or Michigan State at 6-6 don't deserve bowling, at least at their current locations.

Well, the Big Ten has gotten themselves into those tie-ins. It's great for them, but it's bad for them as well. They look bad in the bowl season because teams like MSU or other mid-level Big Ten teams are playing teams that finished much better within their conference.

They thought NIU would make BCS. We were a lock for Dallas if NIU comes short and OU gets a BCS bid. Also nobody expected NU to lose by 50.
