38th post ----- liked by the anti-PSU douches on this site ------ you're a real fan?????? Whose bus do you actually drive? Or do you just ride it? And is it a short one?
No, not at all. You are completely entitled to your opinion. We all hope you enjoy the game. However, that doesn't mean anyone else's opinion is right or wrong. It simply isn't anything to get upset about.
Nope, not the worst team possible by a long shot. 4-loss Virginia in the Orange Bowl would be worse.
As it is, Memphis played the teams on their schedule and won all but one. They're good. They're probably better than 3-loss Wisconsin (which lost to Illinois). In fact, they may be as good or better than various teams ranked ahead of them -- many of which lost two games, some to mediocre opponents.
In fact, that's what makes the game so tricky and challenging for us: the perception that Memphis, an excellent team, is punching up while we're punching down. This potentially gives them an emotional edge.
Therefore, with the matchups now determined, there is no purpose served by continued caterwauling about the Cotton Bowl. Instead, the team's only objective and focus must be -- and I hope is -- the W.
I would suggest that our fans take the same perspective.
OK. Let's say all that is true. SO F*CKING WHAT? It's done now. There is nothing any of us can do about it. You're like a nagging wife, ffs. On and on.
Please refrain from common sense posts. Caterwauling U is who we are.......at least on this site.
And I and those who agree with me have heard your view repeated over and over too.
$13.25 for seat for a “NY6”game says it all from that perspective. That seems equally clear to us.
Where we differ is that your side seems accepting of the screwing we get from the Big10. My viewpoint’s side would like to determine a path to do something about it.

Shame we can’t fast forward a couple of years (max) and all of those pontificating on this Memphis football juggernaut (no one has ever heard of - even there own fans to the tune of 30,000 per home game). They will be asking: Memphis? Do they have a football program? They will be lucky to still be D-1. Better than Wisconsin? They might not even be better than Purdue.

the record is what the record is...by your account, there would be no value in having a board to post opinions. Nice sexist comment on the nagging wife, by the way.
yes, they are a good team, as I pointed out. well, if they had a HC. But they are NOT a good team in terms of brand lift and marketing. there are several non-NYD6 bowls that are far more intriguing.
Yeah, I almost compared them to Clemson...you lose again. ACC teams get to prop up their schedule with weak teams too and how many of them are ranked in the top 17? Um, 1...Clemson...so you’re wrong again. I’m done having this discussion with you...if it makes you feel better to sell our opponent short and helps your trolling, have at it. Then if we win, you can blow it off as no biggie, but if we lose, you can be in all your glory slamming the coaches. Have a nice life.
Was down on the Cotton Bowl initially, but imagine being FL or (gulp) Notre Dame. Now those are terrible match ups.
Okay, you're absolutely right. Now please go away and let fans enjoy the game and the opponent. Thank you.
Who are you and why are you here? What is the relevance of your post other than exhibiting your incredible shallowness and amazing uncouthness??????? <<(notice the extra question marks, lol) You have the temerity to question my fandom? You're actually trying to intimidate me? LOL Don't bother answering those questions, I couldn't care less about you or your opinion on anything. You're just plain weird and your post is more worthless than the feeble mind that produced it.
Yeah, those teams have more history in any year, just not this year. Yay, let’s play a 6-6 Boston College team or a 7-5 Pitt team instead of a 12-1 Memphis team because their history is better....brilliant.
What makes you think that would do any good (or that I have not been to several?)??
Sorry, Bama or Auburn didn’t have a good enough year to make a NY6 bowl. Maybe LSU should have passed on playing Oklahoma in the CFP to play against Bama in the Citrus Bowl because Bama is better. Or Oregon should have passed on the Rose Bowl to play in the Outback Bowl because Auburn is better than Wisconsin.
So it's been a week now. I come on this thread to get some news on the game. I would've preferred the Rose Bowl, but I'm in the acceptance phase. But all that's on this thread is you trying to win an argument (or more precisely 30 arguments), against 30 different people who disagree with you. How about letting it go? Give it a rest? Please.
Not earned. But as government gift. They make about as much sense as thinking Memphis > Alabama. Just keep on telling yourself that. The market has spoken: Cotton Bowl tickets for $13.25.
I am not the only one...I did not join the fray until page 8. You might want to find it start a new thread. What kind of news are you seeking?
Yeah, that’s smart....take a lesser bowl...makes sense. Again, maybe Oregon should opt out of the Rose Bowl to go to the Citrus Bowl.
How long are you going to continue to whine about this? There’s nothing that can be done now so you might as well support the team....but I suppose bitching non stop is more your style.
You know he’s hoping Penn State shits the bed against Memphis. He’s also hoping for a lot of empty seats.
No doubt, then he can trash PSU for losing to a lousy team like he does for last year’s bowl game.
And spin it that Penn State would have been up for the Rose Bowl and would have given a better effort (in front of a full house).
I don't really give a shyytt if it is a NY6 Bowl or not. It's the opponent we are playing that matters more to me.
Why would I trash the team? If we lose to Memphis, the results will speak for themself and it will be a set back for the program. If we win? You will hear a collective yawn...
