At least if it’s Lending Tree, it’s in the new stadium, not the dump where we beat the obnoxious snot out of Bowling Green.

I can’t believe I have to listen to three hours of this propaganda, drivel, lies, and mutual genital manipulation just to find out if TU is going to Mobile or Myrtle Beach.

Big 10 has always been and continues to be the most overrated conference in just about everything - every year.

Well, that will be a bowl without fans. School will probably save money and not bother to send the band or cheerleaders.

This is a highly unattractive opponent and time slot. It interests me 3 out of 10 as a fan. Not saying we deserve better. Just being honest.

And of course an opponent thrilled to get a bowl bid. How long have they been D-1. Zero excitement for Tulsa. Probably the only worse outcomes would have been Boston or Detroit. As usual league screws TU fans.

2 small market/fanbase 6-6 teams - 80% of the viewers of this bowl will be people stranded in the airport bar waiting for their weather delayed flight to get rescheduled. It should be called the Dear God, Anything Other Than the Airport News Loop Again Bowl.

When I worked for an internet content company, they used to sell ads "run of network" (RON), which meant an ad on all the pages that had virtually no value (like message board pages...). You could buy a bazillion ad impressions for virtually nothing RON. Sales often used these ads to make a package work for an advertiser that wanted to be on the best pages but needed a price per ad that was lower than the price of those best page ads. So they'd buy a few best page ads at a high price then get a zillion impressions on the backwater pages and their average price was in line with their goals. Stupid I know but lots of deals got done that way. I wonder if ESPN sells bowl game ads RON?

Why have a bowl game at 230 pm on the 20th? Why have any sporting event on that time and date?

The only consolation here will be if the team voted to take this bowl over other options. I’m predicting a UCDavis type uninspired loss.

Yes that would be ok. Just no good for fans except the few who happen to be in the area - no disrespect meant to those folks.

Imagine you took that week off and Sunday you drove to your in-laws' house in Des Moines and it's 20 degrees outside and you don't have to work and your wife will kill you if you start drinking at 2:30 in the afternoon and you've spent 3 hours already talking about the weather with your father in law with another week to go, and thank you Lord, a football game!
