Ideal bowl opponent

[Cubswillwinitonedaydawg]

Seems like we had a "who would be your pick for bowl opponent" thread last year. Just curious what everyone's choice would be this year of the ones we have a reasonable shot at. My apologies if this is a duplicate thread.

Mine would be Penn State if we still have a chance at Citrus/Outback. Good location, good storyline, Joe knows the personnel, brand name.

Texas Bowl would be Big 12 and Music City would be ACC. I would want Texas or Miami (long shot for both I think). I am craving a brand name. Beating Michigan was a lot of fun.

Bring on UCF. Let’s put them in their place.

This 100% please don’t let us play GA Tech.

Well, we owe them a loss with a full staff. The first loss was Croom's last year; the second was Mullen's first year; the Orange Bowl we didn't even have a DC (and that against the triple option). This might be the year to play them on the up.

Northwestern is a possible opponent. Last time we played them it didn't turn out too well.

 

[RocketDawg]

Not sure if you're serious our not, but I would have liked to have played them before their QB was hurt and they were at full strength.

One big negative would be having to put up with their fans, if the Liberty Bowl a few years ago was an indication.

 

[Cap'n Geech]

I want to play Penn State in Orlando or Tampa. And not because of the Moorhead connection. They are the best possible opponent.

 

[MSUDawgFan86]

If we are ever going to play GA Tech again it needs to be with this defense and defensive coordinator. We owe them an *** whipping. Bring them on! Schedule 17ing Maine too while I’m thinking about it.

We would destroy anyone not named Oklahoma from the Big 12. Yes even Texas. I'd hope the bowl pickers realize this and for the safety of Big 12 quarterbacks, not put us against them. I want Penn State. Big name opponent and really nothing to do with the Moorhead connection. They just happen to be the biggest name of the possibilities and a win would look better on paper for the next recruiting years to come.

West Virginia in the Texas Bowl would be fun

I think we would beat Oklahoma too. Their defense is **** and we could keep them under 28 points.

If we played Georgia Tech we would be playing them without about 3 starters. No one with a first round draft grade on the DL is gonna play in a meaningless bowl game against a team that cut blocks every play.

 

[Joe Schmedlap]

Let's whip South Alabama's ***, too. We owe them. USA! USA! USA!

I disagree. If you think anyone on this team is going to puss out then you’re crazy. Ask Jeffrey Simmons if he is gonna sit out the bowl game. Now if we got a decent lead early they’d probably take a seat. Even if they did sit we’d still skull 17 them. This defense even without Simmons and Sweat is still miles ahead of that 2014 defense.

If we play Georgia Tech in a bowl game and Sweat or Simmons play in the game I will be shocked, and I will pray that they don’t get injured against that BS offense.

We win that one by 17 at least

 

[Dawgg]

It’s Penn State...

...Then everbody else at this point.

No Carolina schools...
No NW...
No ****** D-less Big 12 teams...

Same I’ll pray with you.

 

[Drebin]

Screw that. They wouldn't gain a yard with this defense we have.

 

[TheStateUofMS]

We'll get Texas Tech in Liberty Bowl. Watch...

I would love to see MSU draw GT. Shutting down that scheme would be icing on the cake for this defense.

 

[MSUDC11]

I would prefer somebody with a bad or average defense. Our D can stop anybody but we’ve looked like hot garbage on offense against the best defenses we’ve faced this year.

 

[msudawg1200]

Texas Tech isn’t bowl eligible. Now, we might get Baylor in the Liberty Bowl, but not TT.
