Geez fun killer why can’t you just let the hyperbole run freely! ?!?!?

One of what feels like too many games that shouldn't have come down to a field goal, that ISU did everything better except score.
If we go to Memphis again, I could get excited about another party in Jerry Lawler's VIP room!
I think Baylor beats Oklahoma and neither make the playoff:
Sugar: Baylor
Cotton: Oklahoma
Alamo: Kansas State
Camping World: Iowa State
Texas Bowl: Oklahoma State
Liberty: Texas
I think we leapfrog Oklahoma State because Camping World just had them two years ago. Pollard can sell them on how we’ve never bowled in Florida and will definitely deliver big numbers.
How fired up can Longhorns fans be after winning a Sugar Bowl last season? I don’t think they’re an attractive draw right now...

The Alamo would be dumb to take Kansas State over Texas IMO
You think Texas fans will travel to San Antonio in droves for a 7-5 team following a Sugar Bowl victory? Color me skeptical. I think purple Kansas will show up in big numbers after a losing season and a handful of mediocre bowls.
I think there would be more Texas fans than there would be Kansas State fans but a lot of them with be local
The locals in San Antonio are basically all Longhorn fans, so sure, they’d come. But it doesn’t mean much outside ticket sales.
While I disagree with the BU/OU outcome, I don't care which bowl either of those go to but think both will be "out of the way" when it comes to conference selections I think the Alamo thru Liberty predictions are spot on.
I too struggle to see Baylor winning on Saturday. If Oklahoma can get the first punch in, I think that game could get ugly pretty quick for Baylor. Not built to come from behind
Unless Pollard is trolling the fan base, it doesn't sound like he's doing any selling, or even talking to the Camping World.
Yeah, I've done some more digging and it sounds like bowls still have Texas as their 1st pick no matter how mediocre they are. Dumb.
I have a really hard time believing that, JP isn't one to just give up and walkaway.
The Alamo Bowl will pass on Texas just to keep their top 25 matchup streak alive. They are pretty proud of that and advertise it like crazy.
Maybe he was disappointed with how the season ended, and feels betrayed by Campbell
Agree. I see that Notre Dame talking heads have Texa$ as their first choice (10 on a 10 point scale). Of the four Big 12 schools that are in contention, Iowa State was their last choice (gave us a 1.5). The reasons given for not wanting to go against the Cyclones-- we're not a big historical name, it would be our biggest bowl opponent ever and thus our 'Super Bowl', upset alerts would be in play, and they're fearful of Matt Campbell.
It's doubtful that we will get into the CWB based on JP's comments, but there's still a chance. It would be my dream match-up.
Memphis is probably the slight favorite but definitely not close to being a done deal
