Many of you think the Heart of Dallas bowl... do u really think we can go to a Jan 1 bowl game? it would be nice, but not holding my breath.
So what's our bowl spot now?
- Thread starter BigJCy
- Start date
Well.... they definately mean that there's no way ISU is going to be in the Holiday Bowl.
Dates mean nothing. The Heart of Dallas bowl has the 8th pick of the Big 12 bowl eligible teams.
I don't think OU makes a BCS bowl. I think OSU or TCU knocks them off again. I think we'll end up in a non-Big 12 bowl. Just don't see a Texas bowl taking us if Baylor, Tech, TCU, UT are all available for Cotton, Alamo, Meineke, & Dallas bowls. They will take care of their own (can include OU and OSU in there too).
Gonna be NYC or non-Big 12 bowl I would guess.

Enough said. That's a month longer than EIU gets this year. Also, these seniors deserve another trip. If you don't like the fact that they are going to a bowl... DON'T F****ING GO!!! Stay your *** at home and when these boys win, you can wish you were there!
GO CYCLONES!!
P.S. - I think if we played in Dallas, we would have a lot of fans go. Only 11 or so hour drive.
Funny, glad to see I'm not alone.
I also think the big 12 bowl tie-ins are bull-crap. Please, get us some real bowls!
Look at the Big 10. Their teams are horrible, but they get great bowls. We get stuck with BS ones.
My ideal bowl lineup would look like this
#1----BCS-Doesn't really matter
#2----Cotton
#3----Outback
#4----Alamo
#5----Sun
#6----Holiday
#7----Armed Forces
#8----Las Vegas
We had the Holiday Bowl in our grasp today. Oh well, WVU had a hell of a good offensive team.
I am fine with either Houston or Dallas.
Pls, pls, pls don't send us back to NYC. We got lucky last year (weather wise), but after freezing my *** off today, I don't want a cold weather bowl.

Jan. 1 in Dallas is no guarantee, either. They've had their fair share of 40s and precip, too.
We've yet to have a cold day in Central Texas this fall. Still hitting the mid to upper 70's right now and some low 80's. Feels like a warm winter in this area this year.
Yeah, Syracuse won't offically take a large allocation. I think more Cuse fans will go to the game not through the University so the neutral sections will be mostly Orange. But it won't be a huge turnout overall they didn't even open the upper deck for the USC game at Meadowlands Stadium. The one against Kansas St was more of a novelty since it was the first football game at Yankee Stadium (new or old) in decades...and first bowl game in ages it doesn't really count.
Syracuse will definitely take it since the other Big East ties ins are all against ACC teams which is not highly desirable for obvious reasons. And the #2 and #3 Big East bowls against the ACC are the Belk Bowl in Charlotte (used to be Meinekee Car Care) and Russell Athletic Bowl in Orlando (was Champs Sports) so not prestigious the Big East lost the good bowls it used to be in like the Outback. Syracuse will definitely be the Big East school in the Pinstripe.
It could be anyone from the Big 12 (ISU, TCU, Baylor, WVA, OSU.) ISU would be a lock if they hadn't gone last year so its hard to tell if they'd be chosen again probably would have been WVA if they lost.
