[Patently Bama]

Suddenly we are no longer projected to be in the Liberty Bowl......looking forward to playing Texas A&M in the Cotton!! :reddevil:

No Freakin" Cotton Bowl!!!!!!!!!!! It Is A Jinx To SEC Teams

 

[NavyTider]

I fear neither the Cotton Bowl nor the Texas A&M Frannies! Bring them on!

No Freakin" Cotton Bowl!!!!!!!!!!! It Is A Jinx To SEC Teams

Hasn't an SEC team won the last 2 Cotton Bowl's?

 

[CrimsonCT]

Hasn't an SEC team won the last 2 Cotton Bowl's?

The last five SEC teams to win the Cotton Bowl have had a losing season the following year. It might even go farther back than 2000, but I stopped looking at that point.

EDIT: Actually, this stat assumes that Auburn has a losing season this year, btw. They're definitely on their way.

I'd much rather go to the Capital One bowl or perhaps even the Outback Bowl.

 

[bamafan76]

Well, if this holds true, then I already have my tickets!! I've been renewing since we went to the Cotton Bowl a few years back and beat Texas Tech...so that works in my favor.

I'm personally pulling for the Sugar.......if that's ok with everyone!

Hey, there's nothing wrong with aiming high! :wink:

Why? Do you prefer sunny days in the 70's to blustery days in the 40's. What... are you nuts?

 

[Patriot_81]

I would rather play in any of the other 200+ bowl games we have now, than to play in the Music City Bowl. That's where Alabama bowl dreams go to die.

Are any Fran recruits still on our squad? I'd love to play him in a bowl game and get some much needed revenge.

 

[ElkmontRollTider]

Hmm...
They've got Aubie in the Independence Bowl...

Won't they need to actually win a few for that to happen? I mean, c'mon, they're not Notre Dame!

 

[BocaLance]

Mmmmm! Tennessee in the Liberty Bowl in front of a less than capacity crowd in their home state. How sweet would that be? It has me hoping they do well enough to remain bowl eligible by season's end.

 

[RamJammer]

Well, I would NEVER want to play in any game with Coach Fran coaching anywhere near us - even if we beat him by a thousand. Just too much history there.

Oh Lordie & the drama: Saban & Fran do not (to put it mildly) "get along" well...

 

[alextupelo]

can you say Bandwagon, we win 3 games and they move us from the Independence Bowl to a post Jan. 1 game.

 

[Vinny]

I can't believe they have Rutgers going to a BCS bowl. That's not right. The only way they should go is if they win the Big East and that is doubful. Something is wrong with that picture? I could see if they had a decent NCS, buy they don't.

 

[MrTrent]

Wow, they have the Cincinnati Fan/Alumni base doing quite a bit of travel. They have the Bearcats slated for both the International and Papajohns.com Bowls!!! What a postseason for the cats. A record no doubt!!!!!!

 

[Oz82]

Notre Dame is considered a Big East team in bowl selection

say WHAT? If anything they should be considered with the Big Televen.

:conf3:

Perhaps they only expect 1 Big East team to be bowl eligible this year. Got to stick to the contract you know! :smile:
