I’m fine with that. Give me Citrus or Outback.

 

[kired]

All signs seems to be pointing to Outback if we manage to win out. I'd think Citrus is out if Florida and Kentucky can get to 9 wins. They'd both have a better overall record and SEC record.

It's possible they both could miss out on an NY6 game now with Kentucky losing, but there's sort of a logjam of teams fighting for what I'd guess is the last at large NY6 bid. Syracuse, Florida, Penn St, Texas, Iowa St. Syracuse obviously has it locked up if they could beat Notre Dame and Boston College... but that's probably not going to happen. Florida is likely next in line if they don't slip up against FSU, and that puts Kentucky in the Citrus.

and either of those teams as well

There is a part of me that would just as soon go to the Texas Bowl in Houston for convenience.

 

[bruiser.sixpack]

Well if we are looking for “convenience”, Birmingham it is.***

 

[615 Guy]

I'd prefer Music City Bowl or even Liberty Bowl, I doubt we'll bring that many people to either Outback or Citrus.

 

[Willow Grove Dawg]

My assumption is that we need 4 SEC teams to make it into a combination of the Playoff & remaining 4 New Years 6 bowl games to make the Outback because 5 SEC teams will definitely be ahead of MSU in the bowl pecking order (Bama, Georgia, LSU, Florida, & Kentucky). I just don't see Kentucky losing to MTSU or Louisville or Florida losing to Idaho or FSU which would be required for MSU to move above either of them.

It wouldn’t surprise me if UK lost both. They shouldn’t have any trouble with either one, but they have been terrible offensively for the past six weeks and have always struggled in November under Stoops.

With all of this being said about the outback bowl, I'm not getting my hopes up. They jumped South Carolina over us last season so you never know with those guys.

We haven't been to the Outback or Citrus, the fans will show up.

 

[MSUDawgFan86]

Anywhere except Memphis is good for me. Memphis is the Greasy Taint of the country. That city sucks and their bowl game sucks too.

 

[Ishmael]

If this happens, can I end my 20 year boycott of Outback?

 

[615 Guy]

They didn't show for the Orange. We aren't going to travel well to Florida.

 

[Willow Grove Dawg]

HELL NO! That 99 team deserved better than the Peach Bowl.

 

[aTotal360]

My boycott is strictly based on their steaks.

Soutbackh Carbowlina.

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

If Memphis is the taint, is New Orleans the butthole? What’s the balls?

 

[patdog]

I still say the Peach in 1999 was the better bowl. Payouts were very close. But the Peach was a much better time slot when people would actually be watching and a much better stadium and easier bowl for fans to attend.

 

[Ishmael]

I was kidding about a boycott, but I have, without meaning to, avoided ever eating there in my life.

 

[RocketDawg]

Music City would be nice, but only if they build a dome. 'Bout froze to death when we played Wake Forest there. Anything north of about the 33rd parallel is going to be too cold in late December. The Liberty Bowl is terrible regardless of the weather.

 

[Beerbully]

Yeah, Memphis sucks. I've seen more interesting night life at the Crossroads many a night.

 

[thatsbaseball]

Purdue knew that very well and that's why we weren't in the Outback.

 

[Todd4State]

I agree 100%. And now the Peach Bowl is considered more prestigious than the Outback Bowl.

 

[was21]

Yes it is

Their steaks may be crap but you seriously need to try their Ahi Tuna. It's as good or better than any I have had short of some high end Japanese places.

 

[Clarence Boddicker]

They didn't show for the Orange. We aren't going to travel well to Florida.

We had just gotten waxed by Ole Miss and fell short of the SEC and playoff after being #1 for a big part of the year. Different situation.

It's amazing how out of touch some of you can be.
