Which bowls would you consider going to watch Penn State play in? Does the opponent matter?
- Thread starter john4psu
- Start date
Cotton Bowl, especially if they were playing ND - because I have a friend who lives there, and I always wanted to see JerryWorld.
I honestly don't care which bowl but want a top ten team with a high profile "name". Georgia in the Taxslayer was cool. Looking back you can see how far both programs have come. Give me Notre Dame, Miami, Clemson.. not Central Florida though.. no offense to them. I'd rather them upset some other big program
IMHO, opponent trumps (is that still a word?) the venue. I'd take ND in a heartbeat no matter if it is in the Bad Boy Mowers Gasparilla Bowl Bowl (Dec. 21st at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, FL.)
Fiesta followed by Cotton and Orange...we have great history in all three of those Bowls...
Citrus is perfect for me. I’d go there no matter who they’d play. Outback and Gator, I’d have to take more things into account. I didn’t go the year they lost to Florida or when they lost to Georgia. But a playoff game in Miami or Atlanta, I’d make those trips no questions asked. Almost went to Rose last year simply because it was the Rose Bowl.
Opponent doesn't matter to me. Living in Pasadena, the Rose Bowl will be tops but the Fiesta would be second. I'm willing to fly to Dallas for the Cotton Bowl. I'm not too keen on going to Atlanta for the Peach but I would consider it. Flying to FL for the Citrus, Orange, or Outback would be bottom of my list.
The Holiday Bowl in San Diego would be the 2nd easiest for me in terms of travel but going there would mean they aren't in the NY6 and had some sort of loss in the last two so I'd hope they dont go there.
Opponent and Location matter to me, and hope for a good combination
Opponent: Don't want to fly across the country to see us play a non-Power 5 where its a lose/lose. Win and "you should have won"...Lose and "you lost to a non-P5"
Location: I like to spend a week there. So where would I like to spend a week with things to do.
Location:
1. Orange Bowl
2. Citrus/Outback
3. Fiesta Bowl
4. Peach Bowl
5. Cotton Bowl
Opponent:
1. Not a non-Power 5 school (UCF)
2. Notre Dame
3. whoever

Cotton Bowl means Dallas in winter. No.
Citrus and Outback Bowls are not enticing enough.

As long as they win the next two games, I will be traveling to what ever bowl they play in. I make the qualifying statement only because a loss could make a significant date change and might make travel arrangements an issue for my family.
As a Disney Annual Passholder, I’m praying for the Citrus Bowl!!! It’s easy to convince the family to go there!
We have the SoCal Disneyland annual pass. It's too bad they don't give you a day or two access at any Disney park per year. That would increase the interest in the Citrus Bowl.

Wow, I’ve never gone to Disneyland, I just assumed it was good for any Disney Park. Good to know.
Fiesta is my #1 ... They get 2 at large pick if I'm not mistaken the Domers would a great game and a RATINGS GIANT.
#2 Orange
#3 Cotton
Any of the FL bowls, Atlanta is about 600 miles, spent 10 days there during Irma.
I'm going to any bowl, any opponent.
That said I never want to go to Jacksonville again - it was freezing. Of course the weather in LA last year was awful too. If I want to be cold I can stay in Pittsburgh.
I'll take the Fiesta or the Orange - good weather is a lock.

Remote chance of it, I know, but I love Hawaii, and it could happen. In fact, it HAS happened.

Fiesta. My sister-in-law lives in Scottsdale and we’ve decided we’re going if we get the bid. Can’t beat free lodging.
