We did jump Mizzou.... they are going to the at large Independence bowl... The Big XII did help us out.
Tickets thru ISU are $115, $100 and $45. I bet those $45 buck tickets are awesome.
Yes I am serious and I bet 97% of my teammates will agree. In fact, almost all teammates who were in both Shreveport and Boise said Boise was far better no contest.
Well, I guess there shouldn't be too much complaining on this site about the Alabama-LSU rematch, considering the opinion that the BCS is the ultimate system at determining a national champion.
For you BCS-lovers out there, your championship game has been determined. Hope you have fun watching the game on January 9th. Personally, I'm going to be busy that evening. I have no clue what I'll be doing that evening, but it will be something other than watching that farce of a game.

Swear to god Clonedude and Dopey are related.
So much for the Big XII looking out for us. Was really thinking we would jump Missouri and A & M. This is going to hurt out travel to bowl games reputation.
Mizzou got the Big FU from the Big XII. There is no reason to be upset with the conference. If you want to be mad, be mad at the BCS. The Big XII is the best conference this year and we only got one BCS invite. If KSU would have been picked it would be a different story.
No, its not. Probably similar when all is said and done (more travel cost to SD, cheaper once you get there- ive been to San Diego multiple times). But San Diego will be much more enjoyable. You're the one telling people to 'suck it up' about the NYC bowl, but you're not having to justify a very large expenditure to go to a very undesirable location. Its basically vacation time\money for most people, and they dont want to spend it freezing their *** off. For the same money i could put myself on the beach somewhere with some sun and margaritas.
You are going to pay just as much anywhere else? Now who is being stupid? New York is probably the most expensive city in the country.
This.It's only more expensive if you insist on enjoying the highest luxury available.
Plenty of places to eat for cheap in NYC, and you can easily get hotels in totally safe/'nice' areas for <$150 a night if you're willing to drive or take transit to the game. Book it.
San Diego and San Francisco are just as expensive, unless you are looking to stay at the Plaza or something in NYC. And yeah obviously the weather is better in SD but it's also sprawled out like crazy and driving anywhere is a nightmare.
I'm saying suck it up because everyone was whining about the money. If you can afford to go to California, you can afford to go to New York. I understand the whole "warm weather" thing, but that wasn't what I was saying. I'm saying, we are just lucky to be going to a bowl and our players deserve to go. If you don't want to go to New York, don't, but please quit whining about the price.

Pinkel had LSU and Bama as 1 & 2. Says the BCS should match the two best and it worked this year. Shouldn't be surprised that he would stick a middle finger up to the B12 but this pisses me off.
