Well, I guess there shouldn't be too much complaining on this site about the Alabama-LSU rematch, considering the opinion that the BCS is the ultimate system at determining a national champion.
For you BCS-lovers out there, your championship game has been determined. Hope you have fun watching the game on January 9th. Personally, I'm going to be busy that evening. I have no clue what I'll be doing that evening, but it will be something other than watching that farce of a game.

I was there as a fan. I'm guesing you and your teammates didn't get to see the afrodisiacs?:twitcy:
The problem with this BCS is it violates most of the principles of those that like the BCS. Most who do think that the regular season should be the 'playoff' and the first round of that is winning your conference. Alabama didnt win, so it shouldnt be in that game.
Mizzou got the Big FU from the Big XII. There is no reason to be upset with the conference. If you want to be mad, be mad at the BCS. The Big XII is the best conference this year and we only got one BCS invite. If KSU would have been picked it would be a different story.
I didn't see that when I made the comment...my bad. Still sucks the Big 10 and ACC got 2 into the BCS. I would have been able to go to about any other bowl game. Oh well...
You would think any sentient bowl representatives would be aware that a bowl game at the end of December in a northern city in an outdoor baseball stadium is about the stupidest idea ever.
My guess is Mizzou is just fine with Shrevport. Better match up, close to home, lots of fans will be there compared to Mizzou to NYC.
The same can be said for us. We would have a better match up vs. UNC, and many more fans there.
In the end the BIG 12 sticking up for us was a big kick in the nads, again.

I'm saying suck it up because everyone was whining about the money. If you can afford to go to California, you can afford to go to New York. I understand the whole "warm weather" thing, but that wasn't what I was saying. I'm saying, we are just lucky to be going to a bowl and our players deserve to go. If you don't want to go to New York, don't, but please quit whining about the price.
Pinkel had LSU and Bama as 1 & 2. Says the BCS should match the two best and it worked this year. Shouldn't be surprised that he would stick a middle finger up to the B12 but this pisses me off.
It's only more expensive if you insist on enjoying the highest luxury available.
Plenty of places to eat for cheap in NYC, and you can easily get hotels in totally safe/'nice' areas for <$150 a night if you're willing to drive or take transit to the game. Book it.
San Diego and San Francisco are just as expensive, unless you are looking to stay at the Plaza or something in NYC. And yeah obviously the weather is better in SD but it's also sprawled out like crazy and driving anywhere is a nightmare.
Go to DC and take the train to NYC at 6:20 am and take the 8:45 pm back. Great rates of $109 at the DC Omni

Part of "afford" is what you get for said dollar. Both trips get a football game but one offers much more for the given dollar(s). I can afford both but the return on investment is only good enough to pull the trigger on the Holiday Bowl option.
Its price to value. I'd balk at a $30 cheeseburger's price, but a $30 steak is going to be much more worth it.
Of course. He will be spending the next few years of his coaching career on his knees (assuming he gets that many). Might as well start early.
