Why is that upsetting? As fricked up as the field was for Cap One bowl last year, I say frick them. It isn't the national championship, nor a BCS bowl. It doesn't make a lick of difference for preseason rankings next year whether we win Cotton or Cap One.

ETA: And as someone else said.. Why would you not want to play at Jerry World? It's an incredible facility, with a capacity of almost double the Citrus Bowl. There is no downside.

You make it sound like we're going to the fricking Independence Bowl...

I still say we get cotton bowl (I hope so anyway).

Not only were we there just last year. I also think that it may set-up for a better storyline to have Bama playing Sparty. They'll probably talk all day about how NS coached there...

We want to get overlooked by the Cap One Bowl. The Cotton Bowl is much more interesting for us.

LSU has given indications to the SEC office that they would prefer to go to Dallas ahead of Orlando this year.

The Cap One is a better bowl but Joe Alleva reads the OT and based the bowl decision on what the rantards wanted

There is no explaining it except that Cap 1 officials are seeing that many shallow minded, whimpy LSU fans would rather go see their team play in a big shiny new stadium against a lower ranked team in a no win situation. Makes lots of sense to me.
