TicketCity Bowl prez: "We're looking at SMU"

From the West Lafayette paper is this article out today detailing Purdue's bowl scenarios, with a mention of SMU.
http://www.jconline.com/article/2011120 ... es-BoilersHouston, Southern Mississippi, Tulsa, Southern Methodist and Marshall are eligible from Conference USA. Unbeaten Houston will likely land a spot in the BCS if it beats Southern Mississippi in Saturday's title game. Starr said a team from the Big 12 Conference could factor into the equation.
"We're looking at SMU because they're local, and Houston if it would fall in the championship game," Starr said. "They would be 11-1 and a highly ranked team. Very attractive candidate for us."
the TicketCity Bowl -- based in Dallas -- is high on the Boilermakers.
For coach Danny Hope's team to make an appearance in the Jan. 2 game, the Big Ten likely would have to send an at-large team to the Bowl Championship Series along with the conference champion.
"It's safe to say they're the frontrunner if they do move two to the BCS," TicketCity President and CEO Tom Starr said of the Boilermakers.
"You look at which teams have you not had, which teams are on the rise, therefore the team is excited, the coach is excited and the fans are excited," Starr said of the process of trying to seperate teams. "Purdue fills that bill for us."

Ditto. I probably need to dial it back and look at the big picture. Still, this administration must not settle for 7-5, etc. It has to keep pushing the line forward.
Call this a moment of clarity for me....I mean it.
Let's kick Gene Keady's asz...

I hope we play in the TicketCity Bowl and hopefully we would have a decent turnout. Wish we were playing Ohio St., but remember Purdue Beat Ohio State this year. So it should be a good game. I will be driving a 1,000 miles round trip. Just show up and support this team. We have great recruiting classes coming here in the near future and things are only going to get better.

You don't think the players could get excited about playing a decent B1G team? Now I am beginning to understand why they couldn't show up for most of the last games.
GO PONIES!!!
