Bowl Situation Thread

[BigJCy]

Now Baylor is reportedly headed to the Alamo Bowl. That'd mean OU to the Cotton and KSU to the BCS. I don't buy that the Insight would pick Mizzou over Texas.

Agree, I think Chip and DJ are wrong on that one.

Still on my bucket list to see the ball drop.

Fair enough. I don't regret doing it. I just wouldn't do it again.

how could we get a big 12 bowl with only 1 Big 12 bcs team?

missouri getting left out?

Missouri to Pinstripe.

ISU to Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl.

I'm starting to think that TCU made it into the top 16. So KSU may have gotten screwed because of that.

I'm thinking the same. We'll get Pinstripe and Mizzou will go at-large

Looking like maybe KSU didn't get BCS and is falling all the way to insight.

If we have learned one thing from the realignment fiasco it is the following flow chart:

Rumor/Guess ---> Retweet ---> Retweet picked up by someone else as treated as fact.

Rutgers to officially accept Pinstripe Bowl invitation tonight, with Iowa State as the opponent | NJ.com

They were trying to get missouri, but couldnt?

And even worse than NYC, playing in a virtual road game against Rutgers in NYC.

And theyre saying it all played out this way because KSU did get a BCS spot. Hmm.

Looks like a lot of places are reporting ISU to Pinstripe... Praying for a miracle these newspapers are wrong.

TCU would have to go wouldn't they under the rules? The screw job would be a #14 Michigan team getting picked over a #8 KSU team.

I don't have a problem with this, KSU didn't deserve a BCS bid IMO

According to Brett McMurphy of CBS news, sources are reporting that the participants in this year's Pinstripe Bowl will be the Rutgers Scarlet Knights and the Iowa State Cyclones.

Rutgers finished 2011 with an overall 8-4 record, going 4-3 in Big East conference play. Iowa State finished with an overall 6-6 record in the Big 12. They were 3-6 in conference play.

The Pinstripe Bowl will hold its second annual game this year, with the inaugural game kicking off last year. The game is played in Yankee Stadium in New York, New York, offering a unique setting for a college football game. The Pinstripe Bowl became the 35th bowl last season and the first New York area Bowl since the Garden State Bowl in 1981. The game is sponsored by New Era, so there will no doubt be some sweet 5950 hats on the sidelines.

The game will be shown live on ESPN and called by a recognizable ESPN crew, Chris Fowler, Jesse Palmer & Tom Rinaldi. The game will pit a team from the Big 12 and the Big East against one another.

Game date, time: 3:20 pm ET, Friday, December 30th

Location: Yankee Stadium, New York, NY

TV channel: ESPN

2010 winner and loser: Syracuse defeated Kansas State 36-34

If it is Pinstripe.

Maybe you have a kansas State vs Iowa Insight bowl.

More than michigan does. More than TCU does.

 

[Cy$]

nobody has mentioned that it'll be a rematch of the NIT semis in 2004...

<----need to get revenge

Maybe you have a kansas State vs Iowa Insight bowl.

That'd be a boring game.

Disgusting, I won't be watching that game.

Maybe you have a kansas State vs Iowa Insight bowl.

That's what I'm thinking as well.

KSU or Michigan and you think Michigan deserved it more?

 

[Clonefan32]

I'm warming on the idea of NYC. I probably couldn't afford to go to any of them anyway...
