AFB good attendance, decent ratings, average gain for fans
Hawaii bowl: Great ratings, great attendance (for only hawaii if they go, otherwise suck), and only a treat for players, rich alums.
Im pushing TCB, because playing a better opponent is better for us and lowers our risk of getting push down in the market since if we lose its to a Big 10 team. AFB is similar since BYU is decent. Hawaii will be really bad for our reputation if we lose.
Purdue sucks and the stadium will feel very empty. Seems to me AFB would be better in terms of bowl atmosphere and BYU will bring some fans. And BYU is more well-respected than Purdue as far as on-field performance.

Couldnt agree more if we are indeed playing Purdue. It will be a win if we play them though. However between Purdue and BYU, I take a close lose to BYU than a big win against Purdue. I do like the cotton bowl. The only bowl I dont want to go to is Hawaii, and in this case its a win win for me.

We should just create our own bowl. We could call it the WDNWTOBA bowl (we did not want that other bowl anyway). We could make mrydel honorary chairman and he could select the opposing team.
GO PONIES!!!

Makes sense. I dont want to watch a losing game, nor McDermott. Do you think we could beat BYU?

BYU = UCF. So, get us a punt return TD and another one into the red zone and we should be good.

Hearing there's a decent to good chance Penn State vs. A&M in Meineke Car Care Bowl: the two most disappointed fan bases in country.

The TCB is going to look like one of the Tulsa/SMU games @ the Cotton bowl in 1996.

First time C-USA could have BCS buster and first time can't fulfill all bowl slots. "Never had a yr like this," C-USA's Russ Anderson said.

Also CUSA has a negative outlook with BE catching its bests teams. Only hope they have is BE collapses.
