Why does the Outback always have to take an East team......Do they get to pick before the Chicken bowl, if so why would they take Carolina who's been there a shite ton? Seems like an unfamiliar opponent like LSU would draw better ratings and more excitement than Carolina.

It's ALL about the $$$. They bring in who they think will sell the most tickets and be the better tv attraction. That's it.

It is the East's equivalent to the Cotton Bowl. When was the last time a team from the East was in the Cotton Bowl? Just the way things work.

After the disaster of a field the last time we went, I'll pass. I'd rather been in the peach or the cotton.

Since divisional play began, the Outback has only taken a West team twice. But I think they'd be insane to pass up a Michigan-LSU matchup if it fell in their laps.

Outback is in Tampa, not Orlando. Not the same field as Crap One.

And the Cap One field is now artificial turf. It's still a shitty stadium in da hood but at least it won't be a mud pit.

Say hello to the Peach Bowl and Clemson--that's where we are headed, it would seem.

Because the Outback hardly ever takes a Western Division team. They are ridiculous about it. They've done it in the past taking a clearly worse team from the East.
