Nope.....I'm not at all interested in watching the Liberty Bowl this year! Let the kids watch Fineas and Pherb....and yes, I'd rather be watching football!

Impressed with the crowd ISU brought.
I watched the IBowl just to laugh. Not watching the Liberty Bowl. Getting my tire repaired is more fun.
Yep. That's what bowls are all about. Screw the players... how many fans can you bring to our city?Quote:

Sportsdawg tells me the conf USA tie end dies after this game ( Memphis is leaving) --if thats the case I have no reason to watch-- PS- dow was up 168 pts and sp up 24. So much for market crash because of fiscal cliff for year dow up from 12,217 to 13,105 and sp from 1217 to 1426. Happy New year Dog nation. I go home and watch grandkids --Quote:

Had an interesting exchange with Memphis Commercial Appeal star college football columnist:
Ron Higgins @RonHigg
I'm thinking for any lower level bowl involving now BCS teams that the winner of the game should get an invitation to join a BCS league.
@1teemo
Not if bowls are neglectful in inviting 9-3 teams after saying so. #LibertyBowlHasNoIntegrity (regardless of spins by all involved)
@1teemo I've said from day one that LaTech shoulda been here. Deserved to be here
The most I've watched of any game so far was the last five minutes of the chik-fil-et. I enjoyed it!
I enjoyed the Nevada meltdown! Still hate those guys.
Thanks for doing that, T-Mo. All LA Tech fans should point this out when given the opportunity.Quote:

It would have been Tech vs Purdue.Quote:

I don't keep up with that crap too closely, the stupid tie-ins, I mean. So, the HoD Bowl has a B1G tie in, but not a Big 12 one? And T. Boone is affilated with that bowl? Something ain't right.Quote:

I am hoping see Northern Illinois crush Florida State.
What year was the last time Tech beat Florida State? Two more wins this season and we would be there tonight. Hoping to be watching same time next year for a second chance to bust the BCS!
The Big Ten filled all of its tie-ins down to HoD in Week 13 (it left the Little Caesar's open). And so did the Big 12 in Week 13. The only way Tech was ever going to play in Dallas was with two Big 12 teams in the BC$ so the HoD Big 12 team could go to Memphis in a trade for Tech. Tech was never going to play in Memphis no matter what statement may have been made by anyone associated with the Liberty Bowl to anyone.Quote:
