What a joke

[Hoover]

They will play the Hawkeyes in the insight.com bowl

[KCrockaholic]

Should be a good game. But that's bullshit.

[OnTheWarpath15]

Wow.

Sorry Tigers fans. Looks like you're going to get screwed again.

Looks that way

With Cotton Bowl announcement, expect Neb-OU loser to the Alamo Bowl, Mizzou to Insight, Okla. St to Holiday 10 minutes ago via TweetDeck

[luv]

Who else is in the Cotton Bowl?

[gblowfish]

Meh...
I've been to the Cotton Bowl, that stadium sucks.
And lots of times the weather in Dallas on New Years day ain't all that.
Rather see them go somewhere warm for sure. Like San Diego.

Meh...

It's in Jerry World now.

[Dante84]

Where's K-State going? (blah blah joke blah blah) nonsense bowl haha lol g2g fart

But seriously though.

What bowl will the Wildcats get? I've heard Pinstripe in NYC?

[DJ's left nut]

Okie St. gets boned in this deal as well.

I'm going to have a hard time getting too indignant.

Don't get your ass kicked by Navy and then don't lose to Texas !@#$ing Tech and you'll get a better bowl game.

[siberian khatru]

BTW, I'm disappointed, but by no means surprised. A&M has extensive Cotton Bowl history, it's a Texas team, it has one fewer victory than MU, MU beat them but A&M is a better team now and really hot. BCS rankings really don't mean much outside the championship game.

Everyone should have seen this coming a mile away.

BTW, there will be a lot of "If only we had beaten Texas Tech." That would've put the Tigers in the B12 title game, but if they lost it they probably would be right back in the same position, just like in 2007. Basically, MU has to either go undefeated or win the B12 title to get a really good bowl.

[Coach]

Where's K-State going? (blah blah joke blah blah) nonsense bowl haha lol g2g fart

I hope not. I'd rather go to the Texas Bowl if possible. I think recruiting in TX > recruiting in NY.

[Bambi]

Nice. We'll get to see if MU can beat KU's Insight Bowl record attendance mark.

;)

[CoMoChief]

They shouldn't have shit their pants against Texas Tech....they'd be looking at a possible BCS bowl right now.

[Thig Lyfe]

HA HA

[Saul Good]

Meh.

If it's not the NC game, a bowl is a bowl is a bowl.

No. Then they would have lost the championship game and ended up exactly the same.

They will have to be undefeated or win the conference title game to get in the bcs because a better heeled school will buy it out from under them.

[BigCatDaddy]

lol, nope

Actually as an OU fan I agree. If they ain't playing for a national title I could care less what bowl they go to.

Huh?

Kansas had a first year head coach.

It took Pinkle 5 years to win his first bowl game at Mizzou.

But you're right, if after 10 years Turner Gill doesn't get KU back to a BCS game then I want him fired.

He's got some time.

[Bambi]

ok true. If you are a team that contends for national titles year after year then I agree with you.

[RustShack]

They got passed over for the insight last year. At least they will get their chance now!

[DeezNutz]

lol, nope

LMAO.

[DeezNutz]

Competing for third in the North!

['Hamas' Jenkins]

To be fair, it's not like A&M had more losses than us, is ranked lower in every human and computer poll, and lost to us by three touchdowns on their home turf or anything.

I'd be enraged, but I have a hard time being pissed when you know you play in the Texas Conference and Beebe is a puppet for those lecherous cocksuckers.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Okie St. gets boned in this deal as well.

Don't get your ass kicked by Navy and then don't lose to Texas !@#$ing Tech and you'll get a better bowl game.

Losing to Navy had no bearing on this, just like pisspounding Arkansas and beating Northwestern in back-to-back years had no bearing on us getting passed over for every other BXII bowl last year.. Hell, even if we beat TTU and lost to OU in the Championship game, I'm sure we would have ended up with no better than the Alamo anyway.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

They shouldn't have shit their pants against Texas Tech....they'd be looking at a possible BCS bowl right now.

Possible, yes, but the only way MU will ever play in a BCS bowl is if they win the conference outright.

Any truth to the rumor that KU has hired a Don't Let Him Run Through Gaping Holes Coach?

[Saul Good]

I agree with your position regarding Gill.

So do I. He needs 10 years before being judged.

[Mojo Jojo]

Of course the Tigers can take pride that once they lost to Fordham 0-2 in the Sugar Bowl LMAO

Yep. This was as inevitable as a sunrise. Beebe chuggs Texas cock and nothing else matters. I hope the Faggies get just as destroyed in their undeserved bowl game as they did when MU beat the fuck out of them.

[Frazod]

Possible, yes, but the only way MU will ever play in a BCS bowl is if they win the conference outright.

I bet they'd still find a way to keep us out. LMAO

Duh. Who the hell wants to see MU besides their fans? They aren't a sexy team. Just sayin'.

I feel like I must be missing something. Why does anyone really care what bowl a team gets if it isn't the Championship game? It seems like I should care, but I just don't, and I can't think of a single good reason that I should.

[KCSupersized]

As a Mizzou fan I'm not surprised, but still disappointed.

It really doesn't matter. College football is a great sport, but the whole bowl selection process and BCS system is completely flawed. If the NFL worked like this, they'd have a full regular season and then have Dallas and Pittsburgh play in the Super Bowl every year because they have the biggest fan bases.

Nebraska was right for getting out of the conference because if they lose to OU, they are getting screwed along with MU and OSU by having the 5th place Big 12 team get a better bowl than them.

I understand that the teams aren't selected on their merits, but I don't get what difference it makes. If Mizzou plays in San Diego, wins 11 games, and finishes top 10, how is that different than playing in Dallas, winning 11 games, and finishing top 10?

[Titty Meat]

Because they're a 2-loss team from the second best football conference.

Big 10 is much better.

[Saul Good]

Big 10 is much better.

The Big 10 has 3 teams ranked in the top 25. They don't have another team even receiving votes. The Big XII has 5 teams in the top 18. The Big XII is better, and it isn't close.

[Titty Meat]

The Big 10 has 3 teams ranked in the top 25. They don't have another team even receiving votes. The Big XII has 5 teams in the top 18. The Big XII is better, and it isn't close.

Uh actually it's really close. They have 3 1 loss teams how many Big XII teams have just 1 loss? OSU/Wisconsin could easily be considered for the national championship if Oregon or Auburn slip up.

[Spott]

None really. The only difference is that some people that we will never meet from another university will get a bigger bonus this year than some people that we"ll never meet from the school we follow.

[Saul Good]

Uh actually it's really close. They have 3 1 loss teams how many Big XII teams have just 1 loss? OSU/Wisconsin could easily be considered for the national championship if Oregon or Auburn slip up.

So they are top-heavy, the teams don't all play each other, and they don't have a conference championship game. The Big XII owns the Big 10. Look at their head to head games in the last few years.

[KCSupersized]

Uh actually it's really close. They have 3 1 loss teams how many Big XII teams have just 1 loss? OSU/Wisconsin could easily be considered for the national championship if Oregon or Auburn slip up.

Could it be those three teams beat down the weaker teams in their conference? IMO SEC, BIG 12, BIG 10, PAC 10.

[Saul Good]

IMO SEC, BIG 12, BIG 10, PAC 10.

Yep. There is a level of separation between each of those conferences. Usually, there are a couple that are pretty close. This year, it's pretty cut and dried.

[eazyb81]

But this isn't comparable bc the NFL has a playoff system. Every bowl outside on the NC is a glorified exhibition to send off seniors and generate hype for next year.

I can't believe anyone is really that upset. This is just a random year where 5 teams finished at the top within 1 win of each other.

[Bambi]

The Big 10 has 3 teams ranked in the top 25. They don't have another team even receiving votes. The Big XII has 5 teams in the top 18. The Big XII is better, and it isn't close.

Well yes you do have a good point here.

Plus gives MU fans somewhere to travel outside of Texas. That's got to count for something.

[Saul Good]

I like playing in Texas. It's good for recruiting, but I don't really care much either way.

[Saul Good]

I went to the Sugar Bowl last year to watch Florida play Cincy. The stadium is a dump, there were 20,000 empty seats, and neither team was playing for a championship. I don't really see the appeal over any other game between 2 good teams.

I'm sure that the Orange Bowl is cool because it's in Miami, but the Las Vegas Bowl is probably just as cool except when the Orange Bowl is for the NC.

[Spott]

Well yes you do have a good point here.

Plus gives MU fans somewhere to travel outside of Texas. That's got to count for something.

And it gives KU fans a chance to travel to the living room and grab the remote so they can watch everyone else play in bowl games.

Playoffs are the best. They in no way damage the regular season, and they markedly improve the postseason. But there isn't as much money in them, so FBS will never move to a playoff.

[petegz28]

I don't see how we don't get the Orange Bowl, ala KU 2 years ago? They didn't even make it to the Big 12 Championship game, and got a better bowl than MU. I think MU has earned a BCS game this year. If not for a make up because they should have had it 2 years ago.

[Frazod]

I wish they'd just assign bowls before the season starts. It's obvious nobody cares about who wins or loses.

Seriously, it's all about money and sucking Texas cock. Why not just admit it?

At the very least, they should just delete Missouri's win against A&M from the records. If nobody who matters is going to count it as a win, why count it at all? Just call it a friendly scrimmage, and adjust the records accordingly. As a 9 win team, the Tigers will almost deserve whatever shit bowl they get relegated to. And as a 2 loss team, the Faggies almost deserve the Cotton Bowl.

[KCinNY]

Texas schools get preferred treatment.

As others have said, Mizzou needs to win the conference outright to get a decent bowl game.

MU has no chance at a BCS game. They had a slim chance if LSU would have beaten Arkansas. No chance now, though.

Oregon, Auburn, Stanford, OU/NEB, UConn/Big East winner, VaTech/Florida St, Wisconsin, TCU are already locked in (barring title game losses by the Ducks or Tigers). That leaves 2 at-large bids left. Would Mizzou go in over Ohio State or Arkansas (or even Michigan St)? No.

I had the idea a couple of years ago (I'm sure I'm not the first, but it was original to me) to have preseason bowls. They do preseason touneys in basketball. Why not have some good preseason matchups in football? That would help sort some things out.

They used to this with the Kickoff Classic and the Pigskin Classic. Unfortunately the pressure to stay undefeated in the current system and the addition of one more regular season game killed them.

[Rudy tossed tigger's salad]

[eazyb81]

B10 has 3 teams in the BCS top 10. Big12 has 1 and they are ranked below all 3 B10 teams. B10 is better and it isn't even close.

And after those three the Big Ten is complete garbage, which has helped an awful MSU team somehow go 11-1.

No one but Big Ten fans think they are the 2nd best conference, and it's laughable to even suggest they are on par with the SEC.

Someone earlier mentioned it, I guess I should have specified that when I responded to you.

The Big Ten is very top-heavy this year, but I don't think that's what makes a great conference. Even without UT, the Big 12 has 5 teams in the top 15, with solid teams below like KSU, Baylor, and Tech that would beat mid-level B10 teams like NW, Purdue, and Illinois.

Having the highest ranked team does not say anything about the overall strength of a conference. Outside of OSU and Wisky, the Big Ten is weak this year.

[Mr. Kotter]

Heh.

[Valiant]

Playoffs are the best. They in no way damage the regular season, and they markedly improve the postseason. But there isn't as much money in them, so FBS will never move to a playoff.


There would still be tons of money in them. All of the playoff games would be bcs bowl games in thbose same stadiums. Rotate who holds the championship game. Hell start with four to six teams and go from there.

[Frazod]

You think?

LSU-ATM is a fantastic matchup and would be the 50th meeting between the two teams....and first in 15 years.

So? Does it change the fact - FACT - that ATM is the 5th ranked team in the conference? With three losses? No, of course not.

This is even bigger horseshit than KU getting the Orange Bowl. At least they gave us a game, at a neutral site (as opposed to getting crushed in their own stadium), and did only have one loss.

It's supposed to be a competitive sport, not a popularity contest judged by the guy who lives next door.

This is even bigger horseshit than KU getting the Orange Bowl. At least they gave us a game, at a neutral site (as opposed to getting crushed in their own stadium), and did only have one loss.

It's supposed to be a competitive sport, not a popularity contest judged by the guy who lives next door.

Why do you care about the Cotton bowl when you could be going to the Orange Bowl?

Why wouldnt the Orange Bowl want MU?

[Pants]

WTF?

You claim 3 teams ranked a little higher in the top 25 than 5 teams ranked a little lower makes your conference better. Wouldn't a conference with 2 teams ranked a little higher than your 3 teams be better?

If your WTF was due to me messing up the rankings, I'm sorry.

I meant #1 and #4 in the BSC rankings for the PAC-10.

Have to agree w/ you on this.

TXAM didn't even look like a bowl team when MU came into THEIR HOUSE and put up an ass whooping on them.....yet TXAM gets a better bowl when they have a worse record. I was kinda hoping that MU would get a chance to play Boise St. That would be a good matchup IMO.

It is what it is....but MU will always get screwed over because they're not a sexy pick, their fans don't travel that well (usually)....and sadly, that's what it pretty much comes down to if the bowl selection committee has to decide between 2 teams. Which team can generate more $$$ and TV ratings.

[eazyb81]

Buddy? Ease up. If you want to think top 15 is stronger than 3 in the top 10 you go right ahead. Believe me when I say what you think doesn't affect me one way or the other.

I didn't realize buddy was a curse word. Sorry to hurt your feelings.

I really don't understand why Big Ten fans think their conference is so great, but oh well. To outsiders it looks like OSU, a couple decent teams, and then a bunch of mediocre scrubs. Big Ten Tradition!

Missouri doesn't deserve the Orange Bowl. Granted, teams that don't deserve BCS games regularly get them (see KU, Notre Dame, VT annually, etc.), but they never should have been in contention for that in the first place. Frankly, I don't think they ever were - I believe it was just a smokescreen excuse for the Cotton Bowl fuckers in case anybody complained. "Well, gee whiz, we thought y'all was goin' to the Orange Bowl!"

It's just business as usual. I saw it coming, knew it would happen, and it happened. Doesn't stop it from sucking.

[Frazod]

I guess the aggies should have scheduled Illinois for 100 years or whatever instead of Arkansas.

I don't believe it was Arkansas that came into your fucking house and beat you 30-9, was it?

[Spott]

No, but Arkansas did beat them earlier this year and either Alabama, Arkansas or LSU will beat them in the Cotton Bowl.

[Rudy tossed tigger's salad]

I don't believe it was Arkansas that came into your ****ing house and beat you 30-9, was it?

Shit happens when you lose to this year's Texas Tech team late in the season. A&M had the same conference record on a harder conference schedule. They're a hot team and a good choice

If The aggies and tigers were the only two 6-2 teams, it may have mattered.

[Saul Good]

What the hell happened to aTm? I remember them being a strong team year in and year out when I was a kid. Now, they are fired up about worming their way into a mediocre bowl. Hopefully they can build off of this. The conference as a whole will be better if they do, especially now that Tech is down again.

LMAO Shit happens. Love it. Yeah, shit happens when you get slaughted in your own house. Same "conference" record. That's a good one, too.

You and every other morally bankrupt piece of Texas fried shit can spin it any way you want to, but there is NO justification for this slight.

Maybe when the fAggies get their asses kicked, the Good Ole Boys will just declare them winners anyway, just because.... well, they probably should have won! They would have won if they stared... whoever!

Feel free to add your own pathetic excuses in the space below.

Oh c'mon.

You didn't lose by a field goal on the road here.

Mizzou went into your house and flat out destroyed Texas A&M. I mean they MFing murdered you guys. As bad as the score was, the game wasn't even that close. If Pinkel wanted to rub it in (and it appears he should've), you guys could've lost that game by 50.

Quit trying to act like this was anything more than it was - A&M won the popularity contest. They got their shit pushed in on the field, but hey - at least they have some rich local alums.

Take your better Bowl game and be happy with it. But stow the chest pounding, son. A&M didn't do a damn thing to 'earn' this game over Mizzou and attempting to argue otherwise just makes you look like....well it makes you look like a damn Beaker.

Don't you think it's at least a little tougher on the Committee if they look at the schedule and see "MU 47, A&M 3" on there?

If MU doesn't call off the dogs in the 4th quarter, it could've been easily that bad.

At this point, if I'm Pinkel - I look to kick the living @!#$ out of whatever conference team I play. I'm getting really damn tired of beating teams every year only to see them end up in better Bowl games with lesser resumes than us.

Maybe it doesn't make a difference, but couldn't we at least give them something to think about?

I agree. There was no sarcasm on my part. We knelt down at the 1 against KU in 2007 instead of beating them by 15. That play may have cost us the Orange Bowl.

That cost us the NC game. Unlike NU last year, we had a season that stood on its merits.

[DJ's left nut]

Because Mizzou's 2010 recruiting class was both strong and deep so they don't have very many scholarships availabe and therefore don't have a highly ranked class.

You'd think the fan of a 'first rate program' like Nebraska would at least know something about the basis mechanics of the recruiting process.

Dipshit Nebraskas was about equal to Mizzous last year and this year they only have 3 more commitments yet are in the top 10 of recruiting. Just admit Mizzous ceiling was 10 wins and the Alamo Bowl instead of pretending to be some National Championship contender.

[sedated]

It hasn't been margin of victory that's kept meth-U out of better bowl games, its the lack of fan support and ticket sales.

(some) meth-u fans seem to have this notion that a non-BCS bowl is below them and won’t travel to see it. It may be a chicken and egg argument, but plenty of high-profile programs fill the seats regardless of the bowl.

You mean except for the season that Missouri was a national championship contender? I seem to recall us actually having an opportunity to play for the crystal football in the last decade. Seems to me that our neighbors to the north can make no such claim.

And the fact that you point to the number of stars a recruit has as the foundation of the strength of your recruiting class exposes you as an ignorant sheep. The 'star' system is self-perpetuation. Kids often get stars added becase of the school they selected - just how the hell much sense does that make?

Rivals will add stars based on recruiting visits. "Oh, that kid's making a visit to USC...well he must be a 4 star guy instead of a 3..." blah blah blah

Congrats - you guys have a nice little recruiting class coming in next year. Now how does that speak to the fact that MU has something like 3 senior starters on its squad and brought in a bunch of scholarship players last season? They simply don't have many scholarships to give out so they aren't going to have a good rank - period.

Missouri's class isn't ranked highly because it isn't a great class. It's a filler class between last season's and the one they'd better pull next season to replace the juniors they're going to lose in a couple of years.

Not many Big 10 teams can say they are top 25 in either sport, let alone both.

Not to mention, Mizzou is one of 14 (out of 120) BCS athletic programs that turned a profit last year.

Get it back on track, dude.

We're also average top 30 in football home attendance for the last 5 years.

Interesting. I wounder who the other 8 schools are?

This surpasses the hootie " I've been in the (food) service industry" thread by miles.

You only say that because you didn't so irritate him that he chose to install CPiggy with the express purpose of putting you on ignore.

So really, it's a pretty tough call for me.

[joesomebody]

I'll give Nebraska credit though, they have 21 varsity sports, which is first in the Big 12. Mizzou is tied with A&M and UT for 3rd with 18 varsity sports. OU is second with 19.

It's every sport outside of Football and Basketball that bring down the profitability of a program. (I'm sure there are exceptions.)

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

Yes. Insight Bowl. How fucking embarassing.

Not if I get to go watch them play and ride the train home plastered!

Daru has a better grasp of the english language. He spells together as well, technically. Hell, I'm pretty sure his sentence syntax is better.

I was in Fordland Missouri in 2005 running my train. & had just packed up & left when a meth lab at the end of the road exploded inside a mobile home. Both parents & child were burned to death. Very sad deal. The lil boy & his mom had road my train the day before.

What I want to know is how a guy from Philly became a Husker fan.

It's kind of amusing having someone from Nebraska calling someone else a hillbilly.

Awesome,

[GloryDayz]

Every bowl sanctioned by the NCAA, BCS or not, should have on-field performance or automation as the basis for it's "invitations". This "who we like/want" or "which team has better traveling fans" stuff is dumb. If you can make an argument for that logic, then it should work for all of the bowl games then. Or was Mangino almost right, is it "mostly" about dollar signs?

[Saul Good]

Still can't bring myself to care. If you get screwed out of a NC shot, I get it. If you get screwed out of playing in a bowl called "Fiesta" versus "Alamo" versus "Insight", I don't get it.

[LiveSteam]

It helps the visibility of the program, which helps bring in better recruits, which helps you win more games.

It's not a coincidence that Boise started pulling in better recruits after they made a major bowl instead of the Poinsettia Bowl.

[Rudy tossed tigger's salad]

You should remember that Lemon Pie is a dipshit troll. I'd almost guarantee he's not an aTm fan.

You're wrong.

I have no trouble saying A&M is the 5th best team in the Big 12. But the selection makes sense.

[Reaper16]

Everyone is saying that Mizzou gets the Insight Bowl vs a pathetic 5-loss Iowa team. Whoopee.

[CoMoChief]

Well, bowl games are nothing more than exhibition games and they try to sell the most tickets and make the most money....that's the sad reality. They look at wins/record second. MU fans don't travel well...it's just a fact. Texas is a way bigger market. They have the chance to make more money with a TX team in there.

Much better than playing a Pac-10 team in Arizona, who also closed out the season badly. And, the Insight Bowl is higher in the pecking order than the Holiday this year....Plus, I've always wanted to play Iowa, its been since 1910....Much much happier with Insight v. Iowa than Holiday v. Arizona. Plus, Insight picked us over the Nubs :)

@Sean_Callahan Sean Callahan
Basically the Big 12 doesn't wants a 3.5 hour info commercial on the Big Ten in their Insight Bowl. That's my take.

[Titty Meat]

Good god going from National title hopes to playing in some shitty bowl vs a 6-6 team. Mizzou had the better season IMO

[Pitt Gorilla]

[Priest31kc]

If we get the game vs Iowa, I will agree.

We got it, its being reported everywhere now.

[eazyb81]

So the Nubs got pushed down to the Holiday Bowl?

Wow, the Beebe and the Big 12 really flexed their muscle on this one. Really no other way to explain why 3 bowls would have passed on Nebraska. I hate them but they travel to bowls as well as any program in the country.

I hate the idea of playing Iowa though. It will suck for recruiting if we lose to them in a bowl despite having the much better regular season record. I would have preferred to play Michigan.

Still, better than playing a dogshit Washington team in the Holiday. God the Pac 10 sucks ass.

[DeezNutz]

Overall, this was a hell of a football weekend.

[Nixhex]

The Big 12 allows the bowls to select our reps. They should be like other conferences and make them go by standings/record. However, the Big 12 lets the bowl make the decision. That tells me the B12 big wigs get some grip for allowing the bowls to pick and choose the B12 teams that play in their respective bowl game.

[KcMizzou]

Overall, this was a hell of a football weekend.Yes it has. :rockon:

[Pitt Gorilla]

Gabe D had reported us having essentially a zero percent chance at this bowl.

[Ebolapox]

aren't we technically the number two team in the big 12 after nebraska's loss? any chance at the big 12 getting an at-large to the bcs, and if so, can mizzou get that bid?

[Spott]

Mizzou is the 2nd highest rated BCS team in the Big 12, but they needed Stanford to finish outside the top 4 to have any chance of the last at large bid.

[Nixhex]

The Tigers will be a team to reckon with come 2011. If think the defense can get even better. They have lots of returning players on both sides of the ball.

Are they going to rename the conference? What are they going to call it now?

I think they should rename the Big 10 the Big 12 and vice versa just to aggravate NU.

[Hoover]

They will play the Hawkeyes in the insight.com bowl

Called it! :evil:

[Pitt Gorilla]

From Huskerboard:

Dear Insight Bowl. We will never play for you.

Huskers need to mark this down. If we ever get invited to the Insight bowl as a member of the Big Ten, we need to tell them to remember 2010 and tell them to "F" themselves.

I love their ability to tackle. One of the best open field tackling teams I have seen.
